I predict MAG will recieve a 40/40 from famitsu... if it releases in japan... Same for Eyepet.

Nope. Neither is Japanese. FF13 will get 40/40, and GT5, and maybe The Last Guardian. Perhaps Quantum Theory for good measure. And, of course, Zelda Wii and NSMB Wii. And Super Mario Galaxy 2.

While they're at it, why don't they give 40/40 to every game that comes out of Japan?

You're still on this vendetta that they hate Western games....

 

Oh goodness.

I never said they hate Western games, they just prefer Japanese games. When Nintendogs gets a perfect score and some of the highest reviewed games in the West get in the mid-30s, you know something is up.

You could say the same about Western reviewers? Why do western games tend to get higher scores than Japanese games?

They don't. At least, not before this gen.

Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, PES, Devil May Cry, Virtua Fighter and Resident Evil can all be found in the PS2's top 20 on Metacritic. And looking at the Western games, can anybody objectively deny that the Tony Hawks, GTAs and God of Wars deserve to be on that list? I haven't played any of the Maddens, but I've never really liked American Football.

Of course I was talking this generation, and western games weren't given bad scores this generation or last.

If we are looking at the HD consoles (everything Nintendo makes is Japanese, so the Wii has plenty of fantastic Japanese games), Japanese games this gen aren't particularly good, with a few exceptions: namely a few RPGs and Metal Gear Solid. Looking at the 13 PS3 games I would personally rate 9+ (not counting PSN), one is Japanese. The vast majority are American, actually.

And I'd disagree. My top 10 of this generation would consist largely of Japanese titles.
