White Knight Chronicles: 7/7/8/7
--lots of optional content
--big boss battles
--simplistic combat
--customizable combos
--is basically like every other Level 5 RPG. Sadness befalls the land.
--Online has chat issues and a reviewer "hopes it will be patched in the future"

PS Zero DS: 8/8/9/8

THE NEW METAL GEAR GAME IS CALLED METAL GEAR TOUCH FOR THE IPOD TOUCH. A SHOOTER FROM THIRD PERSON DUE IN SPRING 2009.

29/40 score. If this game scored well, it would sell more copies in Japan as Famitsu can influence purchases.

I don't expect WKC to be anything but mediocre after the most recent trailers, but I don't think famitsu are good at being a definitive source for game reviews either.

Also, Metal Gear touch? Really? Couldn't have thrown 360 fans a bone huh? you know, the people who actually wanted the game.

they shouldn't have added in "basically like any other level 5 rpg". That will make japanese buy the game. Has a NA release been announced yet?

I knew it wasn't for the 360, Green just meant that it was in Development. That project was given the Green Light so they could start developing it. That is what the green text meant.

I really can't trust Famitsu, they've praised way too many bogus games. Japanese have an odd taste.

They gave TLR a 38/40 when it got average reviews in the west. They gave Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey a 37/40 and 36/40 respectively when they got above average reviews in the west. Not saying any of them are bad, just saying Famitsu doesn't set the pace for others to follow.

Famitsu is very tough on JRPGs, just look at some of their other reviews (Persona, etc.).

Anyway still a decent score.

If Famitsu gives White Knight a lower score than The Last Remnant and Blue Dragon, then you know it's in trouble. Level-5 joins the ranks of other devs that were much better last generation. :( Better chill on the hype for this one, guys.

Don't you normally say "a person's opinion doesn't matter." ? :P
