So when Famitsu gives games really good scores, they're unreliable. But when they give a promising PS3 game a decent score (3 7's and an 8 is not bad) it must be true.

However, the Japanese opinion of games does not automatically translate equally to the West (i.e. Lair getting a 34/40)

 

 

Famitsu scores tend to be generous, especially for RPGs.  It think that is why everyone is all riled up.  Japanese reviewers sure do know how to boggle the western mind.
