WOW a great review

Just about everything else is tripe this week :)

From memory, Famitsu gave Halo1 as 37/40 (either that or a 36/40).

Good score regardless - pity it didn't hit 40/40, wonder if they would have set Japan alight...

it's a very high score, but I wouldn't put too much into a game like halo being reviewed by japanese reviewers. still a good sign though.

nice score... especially considering its from japan

Famitsu scores don't matter to me; they gave pokemon mystery dungeon 2 a 36 or something... Not that Halo 3 isn't good mind.

and you've played pokemon mystery dungeon 2?  Seriously it's one thing to complain about games you've played but it's another to complain about something you know nothing about.

I think Blue Dragon got a 37 from Famitsu as well, and it DEFINITELY shifted consoles for Microsoft. The simple fact is most Japanese dont like FPS, but those that do will certainly take notice of this. This also bodes well for the West, helping to put to rest any anti-microsoft Fanboys speculation that Halo 3 might suck

Blah, was never a chance that Halo 3 would suck. Same chance that GT5 would suck, or Brawl or Galaxy would suck.

Exactly, I'm interested in review scores for Lair, Heavenly Sword, BioShock, Boogie, etc. but who cares about Halo 3 (or Brawl or Galaxy or even Mass Effect) reviews.  They are pretty much guaranteed to be 90+, it's just a question of how far above 90.
