You don't much about Famitsu do you?  Well, actually I don't either but I do know one thing: be dubious of any 39/40 score from Famitsu.  That is their honor score (or whatever they call it) and they give that to certain highly hyped games.  A 38/40 and a 40/40 from Famitsu might mean something but a 39/40 is meaningless.

If you do not know anything about Famitsu then your opinion on there scoring system is null and void.  

This dosent seem unreasonable, they gave this to Modern Warfare 2 and GTA4, games that Japanese reviewers might not like, and games not imho deserving of those scores. so its possible that they give this 39/40 score to highly hyped games, despite any faults, to maintain their high status reputation.
