The latest Famitsu review scores are in for products releasing soon in Japan! A panel of four reviewers submit their scores for a maximum of 40:

3DS Dragon Quest VII: 9/9/8/9

PSV Silent Hill Book of Memories: 7/7/6/7

PSV Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo: 8/8/8/7

PSP Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo: 8/8/8/7

PSP Harukanaru Jikuu no Naka de: 6/6/6/7

PSP Battle Robot Damashii: 7/6/5/7

PS3 Combat Wings: 7/7/7/7

360 Combat Wings: 7/7/7/7

360 Ginga Force: 7/7/8/8

Weird... they are giving less than 9 to a DQ game on one of the reviews? Makes me wonder whats wrong with it.

Not sure, the PS1 version got 9/10/9/10 back in the day. But 35 is still not a bad score.

An 8? to what? grafix maybe?

Dragon Quest VI on the DS got 9/9/8/8.

Surprisingly low for DQ, I expected 10/9/9/9.

Still, 35 is a great score.

For those interested in DQ7 here's some of the changes that may have affected the score positively or negatively:
Removal of long puzzles/riddles
Full orchestral OST arrangement
Enemy symbol encounters rather than random encounters
Increase in number of job classes, reduced requirements to acquire new jobs, jobs have unique appearances
Skills learned in one job may not carry over to another, special spells balance "readjusted"
Job class history system removed, made easier to swap jobs
New area to explore after game cleared

These all sound like good things? Bar maybe the top one...

I guess you have the game then? How is it?

Damn to all the psv titles, some good but highest was an 8! I cant judge since i dont know them! 35 for DQ is good! Even though those, MH, and pokemon have to be 9/9/10/10 lowest

Edit: just realize most were psp, still good to most non the less!

No I don't have it, just based off promotional magazine articles and developer interviews!

It comes out tomorrow anyway!
