Yep, I just heard about this two days ago. Game of the YearForever confirmed.

Very impressive, and a good list. Is Famitsu infamous for being harsh in its reviews? I suppose that is why this is such high praise.

Then again, I used to think that about EGM's reviews, when some of their first Perfect scores were given to Metal Gear Solid and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time a decade ago. Nowadays, even though I think their reviews are still very accurate, EGM has been giving a bit more Perfect scores recently (i.e. Halo and Halo 2).

Famitsu hasn't been getting more lenient lately, have they?
