Super Smash Bros. Brawl is perfect!
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Soulcalibur, Vagrant Story, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Nintendogs, Final Fantasy XI, and, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Those are the only seven games to earn a perfect 40/40 score (aka: the Holy Grail of gaming accolades) from Famitsu.
Honestly, I am extremely surprised at this perfect score. As the third entry into the series, I had my doubts about whether or not the game will feel as fresh and original as the first two titles. Of course, this could still be the situation for reviewers when Brawl finally lands in North America on March 9th, but it’s really hard to look past a perfect score from Famitsu.
Just to think, 24 hours ago, we were agonizing over yet another delay for Brawl. Now it looks like the wait might be well worth it.
spsshh.. damn better well be perfect.
must…have…now…
and how can final fantasy XI get a perfect score like that? i played the game for 2 years and it’s far from perfect. great fun though. man i miss that game…
TRIPLE POST!
Nevermind it was a typo. FFXII got the 40/40 not FFXI =P
I WANTS GAEM
Of course, Famitsu’s ranking is by 4 different people, so it’s not really meant to be a composite score. Also, the “perfect” games are usually just good games that get lucky enough to achieve consensus. Still, good for them.
This makes the delay more painful
I’ve been waiting for almost 2 years for this stinking game to come out, why’d they delay it??
Hai, can has Smash Bruthers? Kthnx.
Interesting, so I guess this means that I’m winning the bet so far eh Matt? So far, Brawl is the highest rated game ever.
We’ll see how long that lasts…
Famitsu gave Nintendogs a 40/40. Enough said
Touché..
