Downplay it all you want but this brings up a serious concern.  If Famitsu dared to give Capcom's biggest release a 38, then what was its real score?  How much did they bump it up before they were scared of losing their last vestige of credibility?  A 40 leaves room for guessing; it might have been a 38 or a 39, after all, on its own.  A straight-up 38?  Yeah, scary.

Or, you know... it could have simply been a 38/40 with no bull.   It's not like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate got a perfect score.

edit: To back myself up, the only MH game that got a perfect score from Famitsu was the version for the Wii, and the only 39/40 was Portable for the PSP.  I think it's an exaggeration to call Famitsu a total sellout.
