What can I say? A great review as always, LaughingMan! :mrgreen:

I haven't actually played the game, or, truth be told, don't actually intend to, but I had a good time reading your review, and - in one way or another - it made me appreciate and welcome such an "homage" a little bit more ;)

I actually thought this review was pretty subpar, but I'm pretty luke-warm on my opinions on things as of late. There wasn't anything I really 'hated' or 'loved' about 3D Dot Game Heroes, unfortunately...

Thanks for the kudos, CineMax!

If you ask me, such calm, light and relaxed reviews have a right to exist too :)

Sure, it wasn't on the same level of greatness as your Castlevania: LoS or DMC reviews, but, then again, considering the subject, I though you did pretty well.

Ty Ty.

So, I see you're working on a new review as well (I won't mention the name incase it's a surprise topic). How's that coming?

I'm making a few minor changes to make the editor clearer as soon as I finish DvR ep 2, so hopefully that'll help. Both Ken and Zimes are working on new reviews, as well, so it should be a fruitful February.

Huh...? *Realizes he forgot to delete special image folder for his review* Oh, balls! :x Well, what can I say? Guilty...

In all seriousness: the writing process is going quite well, as a matter of fact (which is a great relieve since after the Jumper review I had some sort of a creative crisis, 'cos I couldn't even write a single genuine paragraph), and I'm basically half-done with the review. If everything goes well, I might even upload it by the weekend :)

Yes, I noticed how an additional fields for the large on the main page has appeared. Thanks! Though, I have yet to still figure out how to upload a special banner, which goes at the top of the page...

Ah, yes! I've seen their "Work in progress" topic at the special forums. Can't wait to read the full thing :)

Crikes! That game isn't a tribute to zelda it rips it off to the letter. IGN even complained about it.

Jesus, that's just like Darksiders ripped off the 3D Zelda adventures like Ocarina of Time!

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not?

If it is, then 3D Dot Game Heroes is no different than the legions of Devil May Cry/God of War knockoffs, and while some of them use the same basic formula, each can be an entertaining game.
