FAMITSU reviews for October :-LAIR gets the same score as PGR4

Reviews:

Arcana Heart - 7/6/7/6
SuchiPai4 - 8/7/6/5
Lair - 9/7/8/9
Operation Darkness review - 6/6/6/5
PGR4 - 9/8/8/8

Lair and PGR4 both got 82/100. Although PGR4 being an x360 game might not have any impact in JAPAN but expect LAIR to sell atleast 50 000 copies at Launch week . the 2 9's in the LAIR review proves that Japanese do like the game.

Further proving my theory: Japanese people have bad taste in games...SpaceDragonMan

Glad it's just a theory.

Or maybe they had a different experience from the stateside reviewers? Just a thought.DementedDragon

never understood why lair was reviewed so badly over here. if you ever played lair its actually kinda fun the flying is awesome but other stuff can get a tad boring but over all its a solid game.

think gamespot needs to review this one again. but well dont care much for gamespots reviews in the first place.

I heard that new dragon movie is doing great in asian countries. Lair will probally sell 200,000 easy in japan.

When have people ever taken Famitsu seriously?

Lair got two 9's? :?

:lol:

Funny. So, LAIR should get reviewed again? Of all games that people around here think didn't get a fair review, I think Lair is at the bottom of that list. That game goes right next to Killzone in the dictionary next to the word "flop".

[QUOTE="DementedDragon"]Or maybe they had a different experience from the stateside reviewers? Just a thought.lupinelope

Wow, I didn't know Factor 5 intended to make that part of the experience. Building on what I said previously, not everyone will have the same experience; even if a good number of individuals dislike it. there's always someone who begs to differ.

FAMITSU is crap. I only trust in Gamespot.Eurobacca

You have a small library then. Famitsu is good, they area Japanese reviewer so of course they will favor Japanese games more.

Most Japanese games suck. Give me a good old fashioned NA or European game and I'm a hoppy man!

You're missing a lot of games, they make some of the best.

they read the manual" how to review lair" 1º lol;)texuboy

:lol: you may be on to something. :P

Famitsu has had some really strange reviews in the past.

Oh well. life goes on. I was in gamestop and was astounded at the amount of used Lair copies they were selling. The rack could barely hold them all lol.

i love the japanese mini games. love that pillow fighting game and really like the game where you pick up things from the environment move them recrate a place and invite people in and stuff. very cool stuff and can name the village,city,country side whatever you like.

played it on the ds not bothering to look up the name right now its in japanese so dont know what its really called.

No bias there - they just call em as they see em and we all know they don't disciminate against the 360 and favor one or two ( Nintendo - Sony ) of their own !

Oh if N.A. gamers ever realise this and feel scorned - po po Japan gaming company's will feel the wrath & rightfully so !

Next thing you'll say is that Japan has done nothing for the industry. Japan makes the most creative games, and I do believe that is the place that gets every game.

K, doesn't matter here.

THey rated the launch Gundam game very well too. That game was a huge disaster also.

When was the last time a Japanese game got GOTY?
