Famitsu

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (PSP) – 10/10/9/10
Tales of Graces F (PS3) – 10/9/9/9

Dengeki:

Dengeki Games has the first reviews for two of December's biggest titles: The 3rd Birthday and Ni no Kuni.

The magazine awarded The 3rd Birthday 90 in graphics, 90 in sound, 85 in gameplay and 85 in story/characters.

Ni no Kuni, Level-5's long awaited Studio Ghibli tie-up, scored 85, 80, 80 and 100. I'm not sure which score corresponds to graphics, sound, gameplay and story/characters, but I wouldn't be surprised if the characters got the 100!

Yet another game has gotten that almost perfect score from Famitsu. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, likely to be this year's biggest release, scored three 10s and a 9 in the magazine.

Just one week until four million people suddenly develop a fever.

The person who gave the game a 9 complained that the controls can be too complicated.

Strong points mentioned in the four reviews:

• In terms of volume, the game does not go half way.
• The newly added elements increase the breadth of play.
• The single player mode has become more enjoyable because of the improved Felyne system.
• Almost all features have been made more user friendly.
• The game has lots of player communication features like the onsen component.
• For fans, the game will deliver a hunting experience that exceeds expectations.

MHP 3rd looks like it's the big game this issue, as the magazine has a 17 page feature. Included in the feature is an interview with 14 members of the development staff!

Makes Tales of Graces F the highest rated Tales of game, I think. Original was 9/9/9/9 along with Abyss.

High Marks For Tales of Graces F

The PS3 version of Tales of Graces F has received some favorable ratings. Famitsu scored it 10, 9, 9, and 9. Dengeki PlayStation scored it 85, 85, 90, and 80.

Dengeki Games scored the game 95, 90, 95 and 90, although I believe these are ratings for graphics, sound, gameplay and story/characters. Here's the catch: I don't know the order.

As detailed here yesterday, Dengeki PlayStation said the following:

• There's hardly any loading
• There's way more volume compared to the Wii version. The game is full of extra "yarikomi" stuff for players to sink their teeth into.
• You can skip event scenes (wait... you couldn't do this in the Wii version?)
• The battle system is "excellent." If you let your guard down, even the minor enemies can pose a threat.

The game will apparently take over 60 hours to clear. This includes the new PS3 after story.
