I'm hyped for DOA: Dimensions probably more than anyone.  But I gotta say reviews for the game are going to be pointless.  Just like JRPGs or Anime based games, Japanese reviewers are going to score it high (8.9-9.5) and western reviewers are going to score it moderate to low (7.0-8.5).  The only real way to tell if the game is good is going to be playing it.

However, because of this recent 'banned in Sweden' stunt, I anticipate the game will actually sell more than it would have before.  WHile there is such as thing of negative publicity, this kind of publicity will just cause many people to try the game just to spite a stupid law.

Makes hardly any sense When Doa 3/ DoA4 got an high 80 on metacritic...

That's still close to what I said.  And DOA3 and 4 had the luxury of coming out within the first year of each consoles launch. As well as setting certain 'standards' for graphics on those consoles.  If it had come out say 3-4 years into the life of either console, it probably would have been scored lower than something like Soul Calibur III or Tekken 5.

Also, reviewers are not so gracious about reviewing handheld games.
