For some reason when I heard about the 40/40, I immediately thought that it was a reaction against Japanese devs talking about how their corner of the industry is falling behind.
I am not discounting the possibility that Bayonetta is straight-up badass; it just struck me as strange that a seemingly straightforward brawler could be that much of a heavyweight.
The magazine started in 1986, didn't award its first 40/40 until 1998... and has awarded six (of its twelve all-time 40/40 scores) in the past two years alone.
Any reputation Famitsu had of being a "tough reviewer" is long down the toilet. Score inflation is in full effect.
Plus, they like all those damn gaudy JRPGs, but that's just a personal note of hate.

Definitely a rental for me. Not because I don't think it'll be good, but because I've yet to replay any game like this (God of War, Devil May Cry), so if I'm likely to only play it once, I'll save the extra $50.
How have I not seen this game in action before this thread? Argh, another game to buy.

Quote:
However, when viewed through the lens of what we know about the Japanese magazine business, and scores in particular, it’s hard to believe that Famitsu’s shift was due purely to an independent editorial desire to use the whole range of scores.
Since I have absolutely no knowledge of Famitsu’s policy, I could not say for sure as to why this is happening now. But it is certainly true that the increase in 10 scores has been correlated with the decline in Japan’s game market. Neither game hardware nor software has been selling well. It all seems a bit too perfect that just as game sales drop off, games suddenly get rated higher. Perfect Famitsu scores get a lot of attention, which can only translate into longer lines on release day.
Considering the bad buzz for the PS3 I've heard (practically unplayable), i can live with a 38/40
It takes a special talent to make a game practically unplayable when you have a mode that reduces gameplay down to pushing ONE button over and over. Maybe they should put in a still easier mode that is actually pong.

I have the demo sitting on my system, but haven't played it yet. This convinces me that I should.

I played the import demo last week. It's....ok. Think Devil May Cry only more frantic and more sh*t on the screen. Plus the story was really weird.

I avoid online multiplayer because my brain still works.
Sega is giving away early access to the demo for 40,000 people on their site for the 360 version. Requires Sega Pass registration though.

Maybe the video is just a little too small to make out, but it really looks like she keeps punching bad guys -- with guns. That struck me as funny.
