9.0	Presentation An awesome fusion of vintage and contemporary game elements, 3D Dot Game Heroes greatly benefits from a surplus of style.
8.5	Graphics Sharp 2D sprites with a 3D makeover; some of the most unique and eye-catching visuals around.
6.5	Sound Old-school, perhaps to a fault; even the greatest tunes can get old on infinite repeat. The sound effects are appropriately awful.
8.5	Gameplay The cartoonish swordplay is a blast. A tried-and-true combination of exploration and dungeon-crawling, but it achieves a level of "retro" difficulty at times. Warning: May evoke nostalgia.
8.5	Lasting Appeal You can easily lose 20 hours here or race through it in less than 10. The minigames, character creation and New Game + should keep retro gamers busy until Zelda is available in HD.
8.5 Great	OVERALL (out of 10)
