Famitsu, one of, if not the biggest Japanese video game magazine in existence, has reviewed Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, thanks to Andriasang. Now, if you are not familiar with how Famitsu scores work, basically there are four reviewers who give the game a score out of ten. Then each score is added together to give an overall score of forty. Quite simple, actually.
So how did Ni No Kuni fare in Famitsu eyes? Well here were the scores from each reviewer:
- Reviewer 1: 8
- Reviewer 2: 9
- Reviewer 3: 10
- Reviewer 4: 9
That’s a total score of 36 out of a possible 40, which is an outstanding score. Wow, one reviewer gave it a ten. Must have been impressed. Also, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Subbed Edition was also released. It had received 10, 10, 9, 10 for a total of 39/40. This is very surprising as first person shooters are not popular in Japan, let alone Western developed games, save a fair few. Square Enix publishes Call of Duty in Japan.
