I'm sure the game is absolutely amazing, but isn't that a bit much? They seem to score based on hype (or wasn't that a well known fact?).

Either way, great score.

Why do you think they base their reviews on hype? They gave Super Smash Brothers Brawl a perfect 10 and I loved it. They also gave Metal Gear Solid 4 a perfect 10 and it was also well received. Both of these titles often land in the 20s of best 100 games ever made. Why do you think Famitsu is hype driven?

Maybe because some of those games in that list are overrated. It sure is all about opinion but still...
