From Software's 3D Dot Game Heroes is exciting not just because it's a ridiculous take on the Japanese RPG genre -- as it turns out, it's also customizable to similarly ridiculous degrees.
By default, you can choose your character from one of three archetypes: the Hero (son of the great legendary world saver, commissioned by the king to save the world, bla bla bla), the Prince (master swordsman and wise ruler of a small kingdom), or the Adventurer (a scholar and travel writer who literally uses his books as weapons against enemies).
If this isn't enough for you, though, you can create your own hero -- right from the ground up. A built-in editor lets you literally build your own guy out of pixels, using a 16x16x16 space and editing each of his animation motions. If you want to recreate yourself as a 3D Dot Game Hero, knock yourself out. Naked? Okay, but don't show us.
Further customization is available at the blacksmiths you'll find in the game's towns. These guys let you upgrade your weapon in seven different ways, from length and width to attack and stabbing strength. Extend these powers all the way, and when your life's full, you'll unleash a ridiculously huge sword, several dozen times the size of your own hero, and crush everything in front of you into tiny little pixels. It's too much.
3D Dot Game Heroes is due out early November for the PS3 in Japan.
(hab mir den text nicht durchgelesen) steht ja "ich stell mir das so vor" 
wird imo vielleicht sogar geiler als der Charaktereditor (welcher ansich schon aufgrund der Möglichkeit, alles mögliche zu machen ( 
) cool ist), wenn es wirklich alles zerstören (auch die Umgebung) wird.
