It looks like a pretty good PSN downloadable game.

Average game so far (from review).

Hope it won't cost too much. If it's in the same price range than Flower, I'll buy it!
Please Sony, bring it online for US customers!

Fix'd. Game only has 1 review and from the same people who gave Demon's Souls a 29, inFamous a 31 and The Last Remnant a 39.

Famitsu scores on hype. Here are a bit of quotes from the review though.

- 3D Dot Game Heroes (8/8/7/7, 30 points): "The gameplay and so on is one enormous homage to Zelda and there are references to NES games everywhere, making this a nostalgia-laden trip," one reviewer wrote.

"The graphics and blocky animations are very pretty, fusing old with new seamlessly, but the game itself is, for better or for worse, pretty orthodox."

Your opinion of the game will likely depend on your age more than anything else, the way Famitsu sees it.

"The sheer amount of ripoffs...er, homages to other games is enough to put a smile on the face of any thirtysomething gamer," as one put it.

"It's a well-made title and fun in its own right, but if you try to evaluate this as a new and original game, then you can't help but start to have doubts."

In other words, the reasoning as to why I was excited for it is how it turned out. This is excellent news for me!

 

Also, this is a full retail release, the game is anywhere between 25-50 hours in length.
