Famitsu Scores Crackdown

Link

Famitsu gave Crackdown a 34 out of 40.  Discuss.  :D

EDIT: I'm not defending Crackdown, like some of you seem to think.   I'm just posting this to get your thoughts on the Japanese actually liking a game that doesn't star anime people.

The funny thing is, if you took the cows that are about to post in here "GS scores are what matter" (though they'd be right), and looked in their post history, you could probably find them citing Famitsu or some other Japanese rag.jvonrader

Well, I'm not using Famitsu to say Crackdown is good or anything.  I haven't played it, so I wouldn't know.

I'm just posting this because I didn't think the Japanese were capable of liking games that weren't games with strange anime people or perverted games like DOAX2.  They actually enjoyed an American, open-world action game.

Who says I'm defending Crackdown?

After playing the game I actually agree fully with the gamepot score.

Am I the only one who doesn't know what Famitsu is?Private_Vegas

It's a Japanese game magazine.  Probably the most respected in the country.

Ah, right.  It seemd like the guy who posted "It got 7.8" thinks I'm defending Crackdown, and I didn't know if you were building on that or not.

I didn't know Metal Gear had Anime people in it...donut349

You know what I mean.

The Japanese seem to really like any game that has anime weirdos in it.

Well, lets do somt math.. (i dont know the awnser.. i'm using this to write it down)

40-34 =6
6 x 2.5 =15
100-15 = 85
85 = 8.5 ... and people say famitsu is brutal with it's scoring...

I say gamespot should be japans standard on american games before they come out there.. like we use famitsu.. GS is brutal.... BRUTAL.

7.8 was ultra harsh for Crackdown...I know its not a great game but common...I atleast expected it to hit an 8...I was shocked more so than the Zelda incident.... :?Viviath

Oh, in case anyone cares it also shows to other scores of some importance.

Virtua Fighter 5: 34/40

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: 38/40

Well, maybe because Gears is in 3rd person and not 1st.
