Famitsu like to give big games, high scores. I am sure it will be very good, but it isn't AAA confirmed yet.

Also they gave Lair 33/40 and red steel too. So I would think before thinking it's AAA.

 They gave Lair a 33/40 because the Japanese evidently aren't impatient pricks and realized that all you needed to do to make the game good was learn the controls. Now you know the only reason it got berated was because of the controls, but once you look past that, or take the time to learn them, then the game is just fine

this is the problem with game reviews in the US/EU, they care about the money they get from their reviews and not that they properly review a game.

Hahahahaha

Someone has no clue how Famitsu works. Its the very definition of "fan-service" with high profile or popular titles receiving good score (see every gundam game). They also give big budget titles good scores as well, especially when they put up a good amount of ads. Objective is a word that can never be used in the same breath as Famitsu.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen/read Famitsu? Its packed to the brim with ads, and all the reviews and previews are ridiculously slanted to the positive end. The funny thing is everyone in Japan knows that the mag isn't balanced in the least and that its reviews should never be taken seriously, but for some reason Americans think its the holy grail of gaming journalism.
