You have to understand those scores are out of 10 not 100.For instance gamespot used to review on a 9.0-10 scale with there being 9.1,9.2,9.3ect. Famitsu only uses whole numbers in their reviews.So those two 9's could have ranged from 9.0-9.9.38/40 is a great score from the most reliable gaming magazine in my opinion.

That's a really great score! I would have bought it anyways, because it looks amazing, but it's good to know that other people appreciate it too.

Heh, that's about as good as you can get it, really. Famitsu is well-known for being very critical when reviewing games, so to see a game that even sniffs at a perfect score (something that only a handfulof games haveever managed to accomplished)in that magazine is something to brag about. Not very surprising, but still very pleasing to see. The only thing that would make me happier is playing the game myself.

I dont like how GS score games but I guarantee you that this game is going to get more than 8.5, is going to be a 9, and maybe 9.5 if pushing it

Well i say its not too far behind 360 games with everything considered. It could rival with many of its games.

I don't really like Famitsu. They're basically the Square Enix magezine. They also gave Nintendogs 40/40.

Holy Crap dude calm down, you are seriously in need of some anger management. All he did was say it was too bad the mag was Japanese....because if it was english, he'd be able to read it himself without having to take the trouble to learn another language, or get a translator. And a translator wouldn't have the same effect as actually reading the Mag. Hard copy. If you find anything wrong with what he said, like you clearly did, you're Ignorant, and in a sense a Racist. YOU are the kind of person that keeps racism and hate so alive in todays world. By turning something as simple as what he said, into a big argument. So either keep quiet, or leave the conversation.

And, as for the review, that's great news. Defintly can't wait for this Game ^.^

Quoted for truth! You need to chill out BET8390. Not many people at all in America can read and speak Japanese. Have you ever even tried looking for a school that teaches it? I have, and guess what? They're few and far between. And don't expect people to spend 4+ years learning a language just so they can read a magazine. Besides, all the guy was saying was basically that it was too bad that he couldn't read the best magazine in the world because he doesn't speak Japanese. What's wrong with that? You took a post waaaaaayyyy out of context and tried to start something ridiculous.

Sure, I want to read a magazine so I'm hiring a personal translator for it.

Or, even better, I'll spend months or years learning japanese to be able to read a magazine!

WTF!!?? You guys are all bashing me and some idiot called me a racist and emotionally unstable? ..Holy hell you guys are r-tarded.

OK first, go look up the word racist and BY any means I am not one. Hitler is one of the true racists in history. OH and FYI, big text is used to express enphasis, not anger because only tone can be used to express that, please go read some liturature. Secondly, Duckman said "TOO bad its japanese", interpret it any way you want, thats feedback impling that it being japanese is inconvinient for him AND no I didn't imply racism towards duckman, I did understand what he meant. What Im saying is you can either complain, or get off your arse and do something about it. NOWHERE in any of my posts did I mention racism, in fact YOU were the one who brought it up and If it seemed like it was implicated somewhere, I APOLOGIZE. Finally, IN my defense: It is ignorant, assuming and blatantly mis-judging people like you that true justice and fairness in this world cannot exist.
