Forums - Sony Discussion - Hot Shots Golf 5 Gets Four 9's From Famitsu

I own a PS3, but I don't understand golf games. 4 9/10? Someone shoot me.



Around the Network

Minna no Golf is a lot of fun, I only own the PSP version but so far has been one of the most addictive games for me on the PSP. Give me a quirky Golf game and I'm devoted.

@Windbane, ... I said... "except" FFXII, refering to reviews from S.E. games for about the past 2 years or so. Have no idea how the scores were before, but I doubt their has been any changes in their way of reviewing S.E. published games. Although personally I'm not really fond of FFXII, but that's really a matter of taste. KH2 on the other hand.... love it, but got also over the top scores from Famitsu, nearly perfect score 39/40.

Never played the previous Hot Shots golf games, but the game certainly looks good judging from Japanese trailers. Good Japanese-style art direction, certainly a game I will follow. But there are already over 10 PS3 games I am intending to buy the coming months as well as a few more PS2 games, together with Home and everything I don't know I have to time play all of them and I'm currently addicted to Super Stardust HD...

I used to really like hearing about Famitsu scores because (up until a couple of years ago) they used to be one of the hardest reviewers in the world; most games had a great deal of difficulty breaking 30 and quite often games would get scores that were below 20. Over the past few years I have seen the scores creeping up and I can't help but get the impression that the same factors which caused inflation in North American reviews has impacted Japan; publishers threatening to pull ads and refusing to do features if you don't give their game an 'appropriate' score.

I also saw this on a Dutch gaming site, curious, but how come here it says HSG5 3x 9 and 1x 8, while it suppose to receive 4x 9?

likely a mistake. In the end there's a 36/40 and 9+9+9+8=35



@Wiigirl: I´t´s probably just a mistake... question is: Is the total score (36/40) correct, or did one reviewer really give an 8 to the game? I really don´t know...



So close to 4 10s, if only it had the Wii remote to get that extra point :0P
