Metacritic review mostly comes from Western reviewer. So it is not fair. For examples Last Remnant got 38/40 (any game got >35 considered as AAA game) but got lower score from western reviewer. Most shooter or west game got lower score from Famitsu. There are 26 games that got 39 or 40. Only GTAIV (39/40) is western made game managed to get there.

Famitsu and Gamespot comparison

Well metacritic is made by Westerners, so ofcourse they score western games higher.

How about i take Famitsu scores and hand out points by their ratings?!?!

We must be looking at different Metacritics because last I looked Metacritic doesn't actually score games, they just average all reviews.
