IGN takes a detailed look at the new Spirit Tracks trailer and voices their opinion in this new commentary IGN exclusive video. Watch that video below. (Beware of possible spoilers)
Also, people from Games Radar were able to play the first 90 minutes of the game. Here are some interesting notes they made (spoiler free).
Today, having essentially seen the first 90 minutes of the game (and played through the first dungeon), we can safely say Spirit Tracks is every damn bit as good as Phantom Hourglass, if not even better.
For the first time, Zelda will tag along and aid Link in various ways instead of the usual Navi-like fairy. We’re not privy to the full extent of her power, though right off the bat she can possess the powerful knights that roam the dungeons. Once she’s inside, you can direct her to distract other knights or solve various puzzles.
Spirit Tracks takes place about 100 years after Phantom Hourglass. So yes, this is a new Link, a new Zelda and a new kingdom named Hyrule (that looks nothing like the last Hyrule, naturally). This time, Link’s an apprentice engineer for the royal railroads, mere minutes away from undergoing his final acceptance ceremony to become a true railroad tycoon. As exciting as that may sound, it’s more of a formality, as the railroads are slowly disappearing from Hyrule. Link’s merely there to receive his title from Princess Zelda, then be on his way.
