I've played it, but I don't own it yet. The character creater is limited in one major way. Everything I read gave me the false impression you could actually design how your character fought, including moves and stats and so on. Turns out, just appearence. Now, if you wonder why I would expect that, it's because I have played fighting games, well, wrestling games, that had that very exact feature, to a startling degree of customization. Now, those old games sucked in terms of actually fighting it out, but the customizing was solid. Now, getting the balancing perfect when it comes to custom may be a challenge, but I'll easily allow something like that to slide. A simple "no custom characters" rule would eliminate cheap manipulations of the mechanics anyone might come up with.
All in all, I wanted to recreate Link, down to the moves, due to his absence in this installment. Turns out, I can't.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
