Famitsu review scores

The listing of the latest Famitsu review scores are now available.

[Valay]

Pretty good score for Uncharted 2.

I wonder if Famitsu plans on reviewing the Wii version of Okami. It's supposed to come out next week in Japan.

[SnuggleBandit]

ya from famitsu thats not a bad score at all for uncharted

[Sarcasm]

37/40 = Good score

Although I'm still questioning their Haze score.

[darkmurder]

Omg this is BS everybody knwos that MS owns Famitsu, why Uncharted didn't get 40/40 is just beyond me, seriously I am going to write a letter of complaint and call the hotline and whilst I'm there I am going to kill me some reviewers because that is just BS I MEAN WTF PPLZZZ!!!1!!!!one

[Syronicus]

Not that I do not like this score but despite their formidable score here, I still question their review skills. Giving Haze a 38 and this a 37 seems a bit odd to me.

[Fire4444]

They gave Haze 34/40... http://www.1up.com/do/newsS...

...which is still pretty high for such a piss-poor game.

They gave 38/40 to Gears of War 2 and Last Remnant, but I'm still expecting Uncharted 2 to be better than both of those games.

[Face Palm]

34 to HAZE WTF?! That game deserved a 3.4! At the time HAZE came out, I was a hardcore PS3 fanboy (now I'm neutral) and even I thought it was terrible!

Uncharted 2's 37 is good for a very western game.

[Christopher]

This is a pure Western game and to get a 37/40 by Famitsu speaks to how well the gameplay and storyline transcends typical ethnic boundaries because it's just that good.

[vhero]

What you talking about Haze was GOTY material you all suck :p blah blah. Nah Haze was pretty bad but its story was around the same level as HALO and thats why it got rated so high most likely. You can all disagree as much as you like HALO is a load of tosh you get sweeped up in this fanboyism crap too much. The multiplayer is better than most shooters I admit but its defo only a console seller as the fans chose it to be out of spite and hate for Sony not out of love for the game. Just the same reason a lot of people use mac and linux (not all but a lot of users). Go and deny it till your blue in the face but HALO is only slightly better than HAZE and if it came out for the first time on PS3 as an unknown game it would have got similar scores as HAZE everywhere.

[Honky Kong]

near perfect for a game that isnt original at all.

[Elaine Benes]

HAZE was robbed :)

[RedSoakedSponge]

does it really bother you that much? bahaha! get a life.

[Pika-pie]

37/40 = 92.5%

Well done ND, you have impressed the Japanese with your lovliness :)

[theEnemy]

37/40 is great.

but 40/40 is epic.

*cough*MGS4*cough*

;)

[darkmurder]

@Redsoakedsponge, obviously you didn't get my sarcasm, I'd have though the 11!!!!11one would have given it away.

[xryls]

good score indeed

[MattOG711]

But this is a pretty kickass score from Famitsu considering it isnt a RPG or Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest. Though Famitsu hasnt been the same in recent memory with their scoring system.

Overall, pretty great score.

I don't even think we need anymore reviews. We all know this is a great game.

[aaron5829]

The "Fanboys will go only one 10?" comment... ?

[justpassinggas]

ONLY ONE 10???

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[MattOG711]

But it's true though lol. I think this game is amazing, the demo is amazing, and what I played at E3 was amazing. For me, personally this game will probably be a Top 3 game this gen.

Still, when people get upset over the fact that the game gets below a 9.5 and get upset is kinda ridiculous. If this game isnt getting perfect 10's I see people get pissed. While, I think the game is deserving of a 9.5+, I wont get pissed if someone gives it a 9.0.

Hell, Adam Sessler saying what he said should be enough for most. His thoughts were all I needed to solidify my predictions of the game from what I've played

[vickers500]

@aaron

Have you read an Uncharted 2 review articles comment section on this site? Yes, it was necessary.

[MattOG711]

Just goes to show you that even when praising the greatness of Uncharted 2 and condemning fanboys for their obsessive behavior can be considered the wrong thing to say.

[XDF]

Look at all those 6s for NBA 2K10..I think there is something wrong there

[aaron5829]

Those games will sell... some people never get tired of these kind of games.

[Marceles]

"I think there is something wrong there"

Yeah...it's not a soccer game, they'd give it a 10 then

[StrboyM]

is a good game, no matter where its released...as long as the translations are intact

[WIIIS1]

I have no doubt at all, based on the 1st installment, that Uncharted 2 will deliver a certain standard of gaming experience so it really doesn't matter what Famitsu or any other reviews have to say.

[Bill Gates]

.

[ambientFLIER]

nobody is crying

[ReviewsArePolitics]

You are. Here, have a tissue

[ambientFLIER]

I'm not crying. I have a ps3 and am not interested in UC2. Keep your tissue, it will come in handy for when MW2 will be confirmed as superior on the 360.

[UnwanteDreamz]

"Keep your tissue, it will come in handy for when MW2 will be confirmed as superior on the 360."

LOL multiplat superiority, like anyone but fankids give a phuck.

[jeseth]

Well based on your statement, you definately don't own a PS3. Congrats. You just sound like a whiny fanboy.

[dustgavin]

Another bot in denial. So hurt that he pretends to own a PS3.

[Tainted Gene]

and release dang it

[DigitalAnalog]

They tend to rate it pretty high. Maybe to get the "respect" of western fans???

[Squall_Leonhart]

Glad to see that the game got a good score!

[xg-ei8ht]

Why does anyone care what they give games~?

Honestly.

I'd give FinalFantasy 5/10 - do u know why. Because it's not my type of game and thus, i should not be reviewing it. hint hint.

[Limited_Vertigo]

Credible critics/reviewers especially those that want to continue in the profession learn to have a disconnect between what they may enjoy and what they know to be good game mechanics. I dislike mushrooms but I'm not about to say any dish involving a mushroom is a 5/10.

I'm glad you're not reviewing games since 5/10 for any FF is laughable.

[Unicron]

Hardly laughable. It's his opinion, just like ANY review. And I'm sorry, but you must not follow reviews much if you honestly think that there is a "disconnect" going on. I just watched Gametrailers knock down Uncharted because it was linear.

Scores are the epitome of arbitrary stupidity. Tell me what the exact difference is between an 8.8 and an 8.9 please.

[Relientk77]

For an article this high in degrees shouldnt there be more comments?

Im suprised Uncharted 2 got only one 10, it seems rather low considering most of the reviews its been getting have been 100%s

[BlackPrince 42]

From Famitsu this is actually a damn good score. Maybe now Uncharted will move a few more units in Japan

[SuperStrokey1123]

They dont really seem to care for a hockey there lol

[TABSF]

Famitsu have no loyalty with any company just four consoles reviews that
usually make great judgments on scoring and only 11 games have ever
received a perfect score out of 10s of thousand made.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Probably the Best reviewers on the Planet.
If your game get 40/40 its an Honour e.g.

When PlayStation mag give a 9/10 for Uncharted
When Xbox official mag give a 9/10 for Halo 3

They get them scores from their own company,
but when Famitsu gave Uncharted 36/40 and Halo 3 37/40 they both deserved them.

[Gago]

(37/40)/4 = 9.25/10

[FwanK]

I guess they dont like Hockey XD

[KeenanTheSavage]

Yeah for sure. I was more interested in those scores than the Uncharted 2 scores lol :)

[TheSmoothCriminal]

Enough said.

[cleanhealthy12]

Gears of war 2 > Uncharted 2

[pshizle]

get both systems!

cant wait to pick up uncharted 2. played the beta. thought it was fun.

[dustgavin]

Nah. I'll stick to gaming on a PC or PS3. PC gets most of the good 360 games while PS3 has the great exclusives.

I do agree that Uncharted 2 is amazing.

[Saaking]

I don't like famitsu. They're always all over the place.

[kingdavid]

Pretty much 4 reviews in one. I honestly agree though. Nintendogs 40/40 anyone?

[bennyace]

"LOL multiplat superiority, like anyone but fankids give a phuck".

Over 90% of games are multiplat. So it is important. Unless you only play 10% of games that are coming out.

[spektical]

not when deciding which games are superior in the specific console. Actually multiplats can bite the dust and console exclusives at least for ps3 would still be enough. :)

[dustgavin]

"Over 90% of games are multiplat.Unless you only play 10% of games that are coming out."

Only if you own a 360. PS3 has plenty of exclusives.

[bennyace]

I hope you're not trying to make me believe that for the last 2 years you only played PS3 exclusive games. Only 12 PS3 exclusive games managed to get in the top 50 on Metacritic. Man, 12 games in 2 years that's not a lot. I hope you played some multiplat in between those. I'm not saying that they're better on the 360 or the PS3, I'm just saying that multiplat are an important part of a gaming library. On the other hand you seem to be saying that PS3 exclusive are enough and you don't need multiplat. I'm a bit sceptical on that. Anyway, I think I'm better off not owning only one console. And if you have a bit objectivity left you know there are good exclusives games on both sides.
