I had no idea that was the reason it no longer showed in the forums. I'll do that then.


@Boutros

You know, in the Gamespot forums they all predicted a 7.5.

Yeah that's also what I was expecting from them. Gamespot is a fair reviewer but they're more harsh than IGN.

The Pros and Cons list as well as the writing seems like more than 7.5 though but I won't complain.

Review has been added to the OP. Also here are the updated aggregate scores. Still 80 on Meta.

 

GameSpot:

3D Dot Game Heroes (7.5/10): "3D Heroes is a refreshing trip down memory lane. Other adventure games, including the franchise this is based on, have gotten so complex from a combat and exploration perspective that it's nice to take a vacation from all the modern bells and whistles and experience something simple again. There isn't a lot in 3D Heroes that hasn't been done before, but that doesn't detract from the fun. The bustling overworld is bursting with silly side quests and secret goodies, and though the dungeons aren't particularly hard, the bosses at the end sure know how to put up a fight. The lighthearted atmosphere strengthens the appeal, throwing in quirky characters, chuckle-worthy references, and an infectious soundtrack to keep things fresh. 3D Dot Game Heroes is a pleasant retreat for anyone who pines for the good old days, but even those without nostalgic links to the past will find an enjoyable experience."
