    8/8/8/7 (31/40)

    Link.

    Although, I really don't care about review scores, I wonder why they gave it that score? It's not a bad score, it's still a bit strange.

    Famitsu gave Nintendogs a perfect 40/40. I don't trust any of their reviews.

    I don't pay much attention to their scores either, even when RPG's are concerned.

    Not a bad score, except for the asshole that gave it a 7! Perhaps the game is more suited to western tastes? We still don't know enough about the gameplay to know why they rated it as they did, but I guess Asian YouTube users will help us find out soon ;P

    Why do you think the score is weird? I didn't understand if you feel it's too high or too low.
    Anyway, not bad at all. From what I've seen it looks like a really interesting game.

    It's pointless arguing over scores if we don't even know what they said...

    Why does everyone bash famitsu?  Lots of reputable sites gave nintendogs more than good scores.  The other people use, Blue Dragon, is actually a damn good game if you don't mind the fact that it's so freaking japanese in every sense of the word

    As for Fragile, I don't know.  Is it suppose to be a horror game or what exactly?

    Take it easy people, I wasn't serious. I find the Famitsu reviews just as credible as any.

    No. It's a post-apocalyptic action RPG.

    Isn't the game about walking around and waving your flashlight at stuff? Honestly I have no idea what the gameplay is like but the whole concept still interests me.

    How is it like a RPG at all?

    Because their review scores are meaningless and the small amount of text that they use to justify the scores is laughably basic?

    My favorite Famisu review example is Medal of Honor: Rising Sun for PS2, which pulled in a 34/40.

    The game is about exploration mostly. Just look at some gameplay videos and research it.

    "Seto wanders the world, searching for survivors and the answers behind the disappearance of everyone else. Seto also searches for a mysterious girl named "Ren." In his quest he must deal with ghosts and demons that lurk within the ruins of the abandoned cities. Despite this, the producer of the game insists that Fragile is not a survival horror in the same vein as Silent Hill, rather it will focus on "human drama".

    The world of Fragile will be filled with objects, sketches and short stories for the player to examine. Each artifact holds the memories of its former owner, and offers back story and hints to the player.

    The Wii Remote is used as an aid in exploration. Seto has access to a flashlight, controlled by the Wii Remote, to illuminate his surroundings as well to solve puzzles and interact with the environment. The flashlight is also used to uncover hidden enemies and can act as a weapon against them. Seto also has access to a metal detector that the player can use to find various items hidden on the ground, as well as a microphone that picks up sounds through the mini speaker. Hidden enemies can be detected this way by picking up their sounds.

    Some of the objects the player finds can be used as weapons; these include a stick, a bow, a crowbar, and a small hatchet.

    Yes, let's trust Famitsu.  These are the guys that used to be highly respected...

    ...and then they gave White Knight Chronicles a 29/40...


    ...but gave Haze a 34/40.  -_-

    As for all the people that want to complain about them giving Nintendogs a perfect score...the game deserved it.  It was very well made, and it did EXACTLY what it was supposed to do.

    Really? I thought it was pretty much confirmed that a localization would be made. This sucks.
