Come on fellas, 32/40 is a good score. It might not be 9 or 10 material (according to them), but from what I've seen, I'd easily give it a 9. That doesn't make 8/8/8/8 a bad score though.

DKC:R may just prove further that the market expects 9s and 10s too often. The review system needs some reworking, because what is said should matter, not necessarily the score itself.

Some of HEAVY RAIN's best reviews came from folks that rated it 8s and 8.5s. They were deep, thorough, and honest (all the while, still rewarding it with an exceptional 8/10).

No need to fret, most people will probably love it anyway.

32/40 is not a good score by Famitsu standards. Especially not if you consider that Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (Wii) got 27/40. A 12.5 % difference between GotY material and "wouldn't even play if received as a gift" is more than questionable.

Wasn't there an old game with the exact same name but actually good?



Above: still the best game of the year.

Ok but Assassin's Creed got a 39 score and DK 32? How is it possible? I played both and I can say DK is as good as the other one...

Tsk tsk, if you though for only one second, you would have concluded that odl ninja templar warriors are much prettier than banana eating gorillas or hipnotizing statues.

Does Level-5 plan on bringing Ni no Kuni to the US?


Hino confirmed it in a Nintendo Power interview.  I bet Nintendo handles it for them.
