This is the Legend of Zelda gameplay that you love--temples, bombs, boomerangs, fairies, Sages, and huge boss fights--all wrapped up in a pixelated package. You can create your own hero or choose from a selection of heroes others have made if you aren't so artistically inclined. 3D Dot Game Heroes is both fun and challenging, with mini games and quests to keep you busy. The script is punny and alludes to well-known video games from the current era and the characters are strange and memorable. I would recommend this game whole-heartedly to anyone who is a fan of the classic Zelda games.

The game is fun. I will say this right now. However, it doesn't seem to hold up all that good compared to it's peers. It's almost a customizable adventure, but it's almost a compelling game. I don't know, I didn't get any committed vibes from this one.

After seeing this game on a PS3 game buying guide, I decided to check it out. To put it into perspective, this game is similar to the classic Legend of Zelda games, with the gameplay and look being very similar to that on the older consoles. But, with a quirky cool way of making it look different by making the world 3D. Overall pretty fun for anybody who likes the Legend of Zelda series.

If you liked The Legend Of Zelda and Dragon Quest with the customization of Dark Souls game then you will right at home with this Action Adventure.3D dot game heroes give you the freedom to explore and does not punish you for it unlike From Software's previous video games. If you want something that will tickle your nostalgia bone from classic 8 bit games ( Man that word seems to keep Springing up ) then you owe it to yourself to try this game especially if you own a PlayStation 3.

The game is not as great as everyone made it sound. The dungeons are fun, but the problem is the fact that the game is missing the heart and soul that Zelda has. There is no NPC character development at all, and it feels a bit like homework running errands and trying to make sure you've talked to everyone before going through to the next dungeon (the game doesn't lead you to it; it counts on your slavish re-exploring like in Nintendo days for you to stumble upon them). Don't get me wrong, I love exploring and re-exploring, but when there is something worth looking for. I don't want to waste a whole bunch of time just to hear a nameless, faceless, heartless NPC to talk about how much he likes another nameless NPC in the village. That was fun in the late 80's, early 90's, when we didn't know any better and got excited over every single new development or creative element. Link's Awakening had names for every village character (except animal village, but even they had character)...that was awesome! That alone adds a entire dimension of story that keeps me away from doing important stuff like work and school and instead glued to the television. As for chopping the chickens and making them attack you...well. I laughed out loud the first time I did it on Zelda...and my friends laughed with me when I showed them...15 years ago. Its like a stand-up comedian telling the "why did the chicken cross the road joke". Sure, everyone loves it, but it's OLD! So for story, even though the whole point was the same simple cheesy find-the-crystals-save-the-world as the older games, it fell substantially short because of the lack of substance. Consequently, I give story a 5/10. Gameplay is good. The game moves quickly, the guy is easy to control (once you figure out the sword upgrades). Monsters are as satisfying to kill as ever. A nice feature was the ability to quickly change secondary weapons with L2 and R2. The added super fast random monsters that you need to corner was a great addition, adding an unexpected pulse quickening strategic battle. The fact that if you bump into a wall in the center of the room while dashing can actually recoil you into the previous room was a bit annoying. I would give gameplay a 7/10. The music was good, but could be better. Nothing too original, touching, memorable or otherwise. I would give it a 7/10. Graphics, I admit, were neat, but got old quickly. The single most important thing was the ability to change the camera view to your liking. The coolest parts were fire and water, and admittedly, bosses were impressive. Graphics get a 7/10. Overall, the game is ((5+7+7+7)/4)/10 = 6.5/10. This is not a memorable game, and just like God of War III, might end up collecting dust, forgotten halfway through the story in a corner somewhere. I am trying to quickly beat it so I can sell it back. I should have waited for the price to drop, and recommend you doing so once pre-owned is a bit cheaper.Read full review
