Famitsu finds Final Fantasy XIII almost perfect

no tag view

The cat is out of the bag, or wall: Famitsu have awarded “Final Fantasy XIII” on PlayStation 3 with a 39/40.
As you may or may not know, at Famitsu 4 people rate the game, each of them scoring it on a range of 10, then the scores get added. So what did the reviewer who only gave it 9 think?

There’s a few niggling issues like battle damage being difficult to see, and the screen being cluttered, but the amount of enjoyment this game offers more than makes up for it. You’ll be drawn into the world with visual, aural, and story aspects. I have a bit of resistance calling this an “RPG-like RPG” however.

Obviously, the scores here are for the PlayStation 3 version of the game, as it won’t be on Xbox 360 in Japan. The game will be out in December over there, we are getting it in March.

Either way, the main take-away point here is: “Bayonetta” is better.
