| Kresnik said: Famitsu seem to be giving out much less inflated review scores lately. And then they go and give Yoshi what would be the equivalent of 82.5/100, which would be the 4th highest review of all if included with western reviews. Just goes to show! |
Seems to me that they always roll over and beg for games from bigger publishers, or that have more hype. More niche stuff and anime tie-ins I find they're much more discerning and prepared to criticise, but even a less significant title like Yoshi will get big marks if it's a high profile franchise. That and the compressed scale they used (a mark under say 28 is quite unusual in my experience) and it's not that surprising. TBH, 33/40 isn't actually all that glowing a review by their standards IMO
EDIT: Huge range on that Vita game I've never heard of as well - a 4, two 6s and an 8? Usually all the reviewers are within 2 points of each other at the very most, often only one
