3D Dot Game Heroes (8/10)

3D Dot Game Heroes (8.7/10): "3D Dot Game Heroes may bring nothing new to gaming, but it brings a classic style of game to PS3. It’s fantastically warm-hearted and clearly made with real passion. The game itself has a few irritating issues, but all in all it’s great to see a game like this both made and released on these shores."

3D Dot Game Heroes (8.7/10): "In some instances 3D Dot Game Heroes has the same unique charm as LittleBigPlanet. While both games don't do anything too original, they take existing (or old) genres and add their own unique twist to them. 3D Dot Game Heroes doesn't quite pay enough tributes to be classed as a homage to the era, instead it can easily be classed as an updated replica of Zelda. While you will enjoy the 20 or so hours the game has to offer, you can't help but pine for the next true Zelda game, as Zelda does it far better. That said, in this day and age of generic shooters and rehashed genres, this is the type of unoriginal game that hardcore gamers are crying out for. Get it, get frustrated, love it."

3D Dot Game Heroes (8.5/10): "With a surplus of chip-tune drenched, nostalgic charm built upon a proved design mechanic, 3D Dot Game Heroes is a requisite buy for both sentimental gamers and neophytes yearning for a charismatic adventure title. While Heroes may not push our cherished pastime into new realms, it does skillfully illustrate that solid renovation can be nearly as important as innovation."

3D Dot Game Heroes (7.5/10): "Ultimately 3D Dot Game Heroes does exactly what it sets out to do. It's a nostalgic look back at the classic Zelda games sprinkled with some commentary on gaming history, and a great example of retro gaming done right, even if it does keep the flaws along with the goodness."

3D Dot Game Heroes (8/10): "3D Dot Game Heroes is one of the most lovingly crafted games I’ve ever played. That doesn’t always translate to a great game, but it does ensure that every facet of the experience has been crafted with genuine care, and it shows."

3D Dot Game Heroes (6/10): "Despite its big faults -- badly designed quest challenges and very inconsistent structure -- 3D Dot Game Heroes is an adventure worth taking, but especially for Zelda fans. Others unfamiliar with the trappings of 8-bit gaming might want to be wary that it’s inherently demanding in a way that modern games aren’t. Ultimately, it's a lavish, pretty, and entertaining kneel at the altar of Miyamoto and as we all know, a game that's hard to imagine Nintendo ever making. Since Nintendo probably won't, I'm glad Silicon Studios tried."
