3D Dot Game Heroes

At first I thought this game was a buried treasure, but it turns out it had quite the internet following. I'm not surprised. In 3D Dot Game Heroes which is a PS3 exclusive, you play as a hero that has to save the kingdom of Dotnia from the darkness by finding the 6 sages and their orbs of power by going through dungeons. In each dungeon you will get special items that will help you to beat the boss. This sounds very familiar to me. Oh yeah, it's a fricking Zelda clone on a non-Nintendo console. It's like the phrase at the beginning of Will Ferrell's Anchorman. "This story is based on previous events and people. But we changed the names of the people and the events." This game is so much of a Zelda clone is not even funny. It plays exactly like old school Zelda. You've got the top down camera angle, when you have full health you're sword is badass and pretty much every element in a Zelda game is in here. I even stood in one spot for ten minutes trying to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do. If you rip of the gameplay, you're obviously gonna get it right and this game is fun for being a clone. The graphics are eye popping and just brilliantly cool. Some of the jingles in this game I could live without (LIKE IN FRICKING ZELDA GAMES) but overall the sound is decent. If there were no Zelda, this game would be a 10/10. But because there is Zelda and this thing is a huge rip-off, I'm giving it an 8.5/10. If you're a Zelda fan and you have a PS3, check this out.
