Preview 3D Dot Game Heroes

Presumed Score: Hit

"Do you miss the classic Zelda games?"

If your answer is yes, then I suggest you play 3DGH. Though I have not played it, it strikes me as an instant classic merely on part of its blatant Zelda clone game play that is complimented by a unique graphic style that is assuredly going to capture the gamer that grew up on 8 or 16 bit consoles games.
The negatives I am reading about this game right now go like this "Its a clone. They didn't make anything new. They are rehashing old successful game-play for a newer audience and hoping no one notices." To these statements I have a couple things to say.

1: Final fantasy VI and VII were rehashes of the same premise, yet no one flamed SquareSoft for that, because they were both great games.


2:Dante's Inferno was a copy paste of God of War, but people really enjoyed it.


3: Who cares, all the classic Zelda games were awesome...

4: For all this talk about how making video games is not art, why are you demanding so much?


5: $35.00 = a cheap and fun game. Win/Win?

6: ... JUST LOOK AT IT!



7: Really. Look at it, it looks awesome.

I have an idea that people are so defensive of their fanboy title, Zelda, that they are getting bothered by this game. Games are supposed to be fun. If this game accomplishes that, then this game is successful.

I am very excited about this game and have been for months. I was worried that Silicon Studios might not deliver this title to America. The good news is that it is and very soon (May 11, 2010). I encourage you PS3 owners to snag this up if you get the chance to. It's going to be a mere $35.00 from what I understand, which makes it VERY affordable in today's gaming market.
