I don't know about integrity, but it's a different culture. Standards of excellence may vary between our Western culture and their, hence why games we would have never awarded a perfect score are praised by Famitsu, and vice versa. It is all a matter of what pleases Japanese, in the end. |
I think it's a bit of a cop out to lay this on cultural differences. Over the years, Famitsu has been unusually invested in the games it reviews, and it slaps high scores on almost everything. To me, it's simply an untrustworthy publication, national origins notwithstanding.
