The first review for God of War: Ascension is in, courtesy Japan’s favorite games magazine Famitsu, and the score will make even Kratos himself smile.
The publication gave the game a solid 9/9/9/9 – which, in our simple terms, is 9/10.
God of War: Ascension sees a release on March 12th exclusively on PS3.
I think 36/40 is great score by Famitsu, especially for a western game! God of War III got 10/10/9/9 for comparison so it's not far off, should recieve similar critical acclaim.
