Even thought its Famitsu, 40/40 even if over hyped, you know its good.

This week's Famitsu reviews include a perfect score for Kojima's latest masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and also reveals that the story is indeed 30-40 hours long.

Japanese game magazine Famitsu has weighed in the latest Metal Gear Solid adventure, welcoming the new PlayStation Portable into the coveted ranks of game's bearing the publication's highest mark. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has been rated 40/40.

The latest Metal Gear game from Hideo Kojima and crew is the first game of 2010 to bear the Japanese magazine's highest accolade, the first since Famitsu gave New Super Mario Bros. Wii the same score. Not surprising, considering that Famitsu liked Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots enough to grant it a 40 out of 40 and enjoyed Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence exactly one point less.

Famitsu may enjoy one aspect of Peace Walker more than any other. The magazine is one of the real world products appearing in the heavily-sponsored game alongside Doritos, Mountain Dew, Axe body spray and rival Japanese game mag Dengeki.

Kojima Productions' PSP game hits Japan next week and we'll see how the gaming public there warms to it not long after. North America and Europe will be enjoying the perfection of Peace Walker in June, so that we may judge it for ourselves.

Famitsu is just dishing out the perfect scores now. Maybe they have a new team. If I recall correctly, before Final Fantasy 12 there was only like 8 games that ever got a perfect 40/40 so it was a big deal.....not so much now.

EDIT: Actually it was 5 games before FF12. Peace Walker is no.14.

MGSF, The staff is going to put up the flood gates soon, find a safe place and wait it out. Wish I felt more hyped, hopefully the game will blow me well out the water and surprise me. Don't care for these guys but it's good that they confirmed the length. Plenty of sneaking while I'm pooping :) .

General trend of reviewers, don't know what numbers mean anymore. Back when 9's were super rare....

@Sad put your noob shields on.

Earlier, Kotaku pointed out that Famitsu appears in Peace Walker — along with Doritos, Mountain Dew, Axe body spray and rival Japanese game mag Dengeki. But it goes deeper than that.

Hirokazu Hamamura, the former Famitsu editor-in-chief, is the current president of Enterbrain, the company that publishes Famitsu. He also appears in an ad campaign for Peace Walker from the game's publisher, Konami. A two-page spread. And he's even on a Konami Peace Walker website. Both ads use a pun on his last name: ハマムラ、ハマる。("Hamamura, hamaru.") The Denshi Jisho online Japanese dictionary defines "Hamaru" (ハマる) as: "to get into; to go into; to fit; to be fit for; to suit; to fall into; to plunge into; to be deceived; to be taken in; to fall into a trap; to be addicted to; to be deep into". The connotations are fitting, and the irony is thick and heavy.

Hmm... Cactus...

They've been handing them out like prostitutes give out blowjobs for a few years now. I don't care about this review really, it's obviously Famitsu's way of thanking Konami. Japan is just like that, they turn their head away from anything negative if there's money involved.

I have no doubt PW will get high scores and this score could be legit. No one with a brain is going to take much notice because of this though, due to the other variables.

This just basically has no effect on my decision to buy the game.

I expect a number of reviewers will give it a perfect score, only one I've ever really taken to heart is Gamespot since their reviews have been the most impartial as far as I've been concerned. I'm predicting this game scores a 9.5 in their book since not a single PSP game has ever gotten a perfect 10 at Gamespot, but hey, most of us already know this game is gonna be stellar, so it ain't no thing.

Yeah, it will be. Glad it got 40/40, but it doesn't hype up my expectations, this is what I expect from PW.

I'm sorry, are you from the past?
I've never let game reviews sway/effect my decison or viewpoint, I've played games which have had dire reviews and loved them, and games which are THE BEST GAEM EVAR!!1 with 10/10, 100/100, 40/40s, etc and they've been shite. Games are far too induvidual and specific to people's preferences to really make reviews and scorings have any kind of basis, I think.
These bastards seem pretty corrupt as well, and they gave 40/40 for Nintendogs? I mean it's cute, yeah, but best score? Seriously?

My sisters have.

It sucks balls, though they seem to like it.

I may as well get a real dog and try to tolerate being forced to pick up shit every 5 minutes...
I'm sorry for being a cunt.

TOLERATE? Damn, that shit's a fetish for me. Ok, well, I still stick by what I said....

though your sisters may be well credited for their game opinions, I still very much hope PW isn't on that level.
