At first, I was actually disappointed, for many of the reasons Boog mentioned. Although, after a few days and I began to think things through, I came to realize that it was a great game.
I think that initially, I was placing Twilight Princess on a pedestal that it could never reach. Similar to what LBoogie mentioned, I sort of did think TP was going to be the best game ever, which was aided by the tons and tons of hype/delays.
Looking back the game now, however, I truly think it is something special (but, I'm a Zelda fan, so I'm easy to please

). It's not the greatest game ever, but it's definitely high on my list of top games.
