Famitsu Monster Hunter Tri score: 40/40

http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/08/05/4040-rating-capcoms-monster-hunter-3-gets-perfect-score-from-famitsu/

Japan's biggest gaming publication, the Famitsu, has rewarded another RPG for a Nintendo system with a perfect rating today. After giving Dragon Quest IX 40 out of 40 possible points, all four Famitsu editors testing Monster Hunter 3 (aka Monster Hunter Tri) think it's worth receiving 10s from each reviewer, too.

It's not really surprising. The Monster Hunter brand is huge in Japan. But no game of the series has ever made its way to America or Europe. Capcom will release Tri in these territories, however (in "early 2010″).

Hope it becomes big here as it is in Japan!

Though I personally have no interest in it, I just want it to score AAAE just to see the SW buzz. :P

GTAIV? Probably. Assassin's Creed? No, Assassin's Creed did solid across the boards, but nothing spectacular like GTAIV were it received next-to universal praise.

Even professional reviews are subjective, we all know that. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite got a 6 here on GS but it got high scores on Famitsu, 1up, and IGN. So does that mean just because GS gave MHFU a 6 is a bad game?

Got a 6.5 actually. No, it means western reviewers don't know how to properly review a Japanese game. ;) :P

1up gave it a A and IGN gave it a 8.5 I believe. So no, they can review Japanese games properly...depends on the reviewer. Doesn't mean the GS reviewer is wrong, just different tastes.

For example, I hate The World Ends With You and think that it's overhyped and the most overrated game of all-time. But that doesn't stop fans from liking it even though I'm right! :P

I have no problems with Nintendogs getting high scores. There's more to great game designing than just guns, gore, and cussing.

Well, no ****. Japan likes a Monster Hunter game. Sheep: you should know already what to do with this game. But just in case, here's a hint... Don't hype it.

While I was always going to get this, this just makes me wont it even more now :). Also Nintendogs got AAA here so quit bashing Famitsu over it, when it's GR ranking is also high AA (88% I think). But yeah so far every AAAA game according to Famitsu always gets AAA or AAAA here, so high hopes for Monster Hunter 3 then, same for DQ9 which also got AAAA there.

You do know sony still kills with MH on psp right? I mean yea sony missed out on a oppertunity on MH3(mainly cause it was costing the devs to much) but they are still making bank on the MH series.

But it is not a game deserving of a 10. Theres *plenty* of casual games out there that are better and didn't get that score. You need to get off your high horse before telling others to come out of there own little world.

Probably won't happen (GS has yet to rate a MH game higher then 6.5) but maybe this will be the first MH to get an A score.

I'm not on any "high horse" I'm not the one who thinks i can tell others what a quality game is. I don't believe my opinion is any more valid or important as anyone elses, and neither should you.

I don't consider japanese review sources when I think about buying games.

The japanese have a different notion of what constitutes as "fun," when compared to the west. I have an a slight distaste for most jrpg's, so I'll wait until some American reviewers look at this game before I take any review seriously.

i don't think so. I played that game. They could have definitely added more to the part where you take the dog for a walk. Why not have a little town to really explore? To me it's a glaring omission since what they did put in seems lazy

Fable 2 scored higher at Eurogamer and Gears of War scored higher at GameSpot. One was developed in Europe, the other in North America. One obviously caters to European tastes, the other to North American tastes.
