uhhmm... i'm out of ideas

maybe they found something in nintendogs+cats.

While I can't really say for sure without playing the game, but Nintendogs getting a 38/40? Really? =/ I hope it's not for compensating the fact that the other launch titles are rather lackluster and of even worse quality.

 

[Hero-Link]

if you look at the technical aspect of Nintendogs, you can SEE why it has such a score.

the pet RECOGNIZES YOU and YOUR VOICE. Its a game about affection, not many people can have pets at their house.

This game is the closest you can get to a "real pet". If it didn't have a decent score, it would be another game like "PETZ".



Don't like pet simulators? then this game isn't for you to review. As simple as that.

Bribing reviewers FTW.

ahh i see now. if that's the case i would rate nintendogs+cats high. so they rank fairly after all.

hmm, but i love my pet more because i can hug him.

Well, they're fixing that now too with kinectamals and eyepet, right? Now you can pet the air and see an animal on your tv screen!

[lies]IT'S JUST LIKE HAVING A REAL PET!!!!1[/lies]

wtf nintendo cats+dogs your joking.

Famitsu gave 40/40 to original Nintendogs, no surprise.

 

[GeekyGuy]

Wow, a Samurai Warriors game getting 9s? I would have to suspect they were wowed by the 3D effects. I love the Dynasty Warriors-type games, but they're never really worth more than guilty pleasure.

 

[Hop2089]

Nintendogs + Cats scoring that high is a shock, Famitsu must have been pressured by a pop or AV idol who loved Nintendogs or maybe said idol offered sex for bumping up the score.

 

[Windaga]

Or they really liked the game, which is highly probable, seeing as they loved the first release, and this one is more of that one, but with cats and in 3D.

I don't care for reviews at all, but I suppose it's good to see the first games coming out of the gate aren't awful in their eyes. Famtisu has given a total of 15 perfect scores, and 23 near perfect scores.(39 points out of 40) I don't see why everyone is upset about that - out of the hundreds of games they've reviewed, only 15 perfect scores isn't much at all.

The thing is that they had given out a few perfect scores over several years, and then a lot of 40/40 in just a couple of years.. like they lowered their standars or something (Not that I care, but they who do seem to think this is the issue)

EDIT: They've been around since 1986, 1991 the first game getting 39/40 came along (zelda alttp)... the first getting 40/40 was ocarina of time in 1998...

* Samurai Warriors: Chronicles – 9/9/8/8

 

[Ikki]

I love how people are ranting on the review scores.

Have you played the games? Okay, then shut the fuck up.

Your (baseless) opinion isn't by any means the opinion of other people.


I'm personally satisfied with this ratings. Being the average rated games the ones I expected to be average rated and the other games being pretty well rated.

 

[Hop2089]

I just preordered Samurai Warriors, it actually is good from what I seen from the official site.

Or the quality of games that they like increased. Technology has advanced at such an amazing rate that it'd only be natural for the amount of perfect scores in their minds to increase. But again, scores matter very little to me. I'm glad that they enjoyed the games, but their opinions don't influence mine. I do like their system, though - 4 reviewers on one game is a likable method for me, personally.

Also, for those that haven't heard of the Samurai Warrior Series - look into Samurai Warriors, it's Chinese counterpart Dynasty Warriors, and then the awesome crossover between the two in Warrior's Orochi 1 and 2. Awesome, mindless fun games.

I've never really found Famitsu to be a reputable source of reviews since I've noticed some biased trends in their scoring. Maybe it's because it's aimed at a Japanese demographic and not at a worldwide demographic (since Japanese gamers and Western gamers have different tastes), but I always found their stuff to be bologna.

I'll wait for some minor reviews from importers to pop up and see what they think, or just wait for the big sweep of western release reviews.
