MGS4 now Famitsu's eighth wonder of the gaming world

Posted Jun 4, 2008 at 1:12PM EST by QJ Staff

There's been some unnerving news about Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots reviews as of late, but here's something of a positive update: the game has been reviewed by popular Japanese game magazine Famitsu and has racked up a perfect score of 40/40.

This is quite an accomplishment for Konami and Kojima Productions. Only seven titles prior to MGS4 have received such a score. These "perfect" games include The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Soulcalibur, Vagrant Story, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Nintendogs, Final Fantasy XII and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Publications like GamePro and and the Official PlayStation Magazine have likewise given MGS4 perfect scores. Hold your breaths, PS3 fans. This may very well be another early candidate for game of the year honors on a lot of other media bodies. Click on the image to view the scan in full.

just shows how little this means... i mean come on ff12... i luv kingdom hearts and the ffs... but ff12 was not good... the story was rubbish, and they made a complete mess of fighting system... anyhow, i do hope mgs is this gud, highly doubt it will b though.

personally i dont belive any game should have perfect score, cus if there is eva a lil point in da game that gets a little boring, its not perfect, possible to get 40/40 for graphics or sound though...

iono, depends how they score it

well said linked2thepast0 6. this Douchebag should quit gaming all together for saying some dumb ***** like that. keep dreaming MGS 4 will get a 24/40

# ummm — psn_gamestar 2008-06-04 20:44

piss wat ever dude ur a super douch man 4real 24/40 i guess every one else is lieing right its kool man u dont have to lie to get notice just run into moving traffic that well be more effective trust me u probably dont even have a ps3

# umm — psn_gamestar 2008-06-04 20:53

andre u must have never played mgs b4 in order for u to ask that question, so ill let u in on something...........it is gonna be that good. i agree with u on ff12 tho but nothing lest then a 35/40

# idiot azzfaces — Apeaggedon 2008-06-04 22:07

ff12 is awsome with great aspects overall (cant be perfect ya know).. i think 40 is fine to me in my opinion.. battle system was awsome btw idiot-tthier was nothing wrong with it just different and if you dont like different then play something else... and as far as that ***** *****face saying MGS4 is not that good? W T F??

how do you even reply to such a dumbass statement like that.. i dont even think its possible.. listen, go sit down,eat peanut butter while playing halo on your terd box 360 you fat f*ck.

you just envy us ps dudes cuz were gunna pown everyone with MGS4!

# mg4-24/40? — jwydell 2008-06-05 00:01

a 24. seriously? so what would you give the first, second, and third. when the game comes out and you get it like the rest of us you will see it is easily 35. the first one is at least 28-30. and for all the people hating the character changes (mg2) does it really matter once you get stealth camo.

# ugh — jwydell 2008-06-05 00:12

rubbish? who says rubbish? metal gear will be great. you must pick a select few to be perfect. otherwise whats the point in raiting the games?

# To the moron who said FFXII was bad. — thefinalhero 2008-06-05 03:13

You must be retarded. FFXII was amazing, story and battle system wise. The only thing I would have liked would be a more detailed background behind the characters. Seriously, the only reason people hate the Battle System is either because, you don't think fast enough or they can't get over the fact that Square Enix always changes their battle system set-up around with Final Fantasy (I.E. Materia in VII, Junctioning in VIII, etc.). They made a bold step in taking a primarily turn-based (I say this because of the Active battle setup) battle system, and making it real time while maintaining the level of intensity in battle. So even if this game was bad (which it definitely isn't) the fact that Square Enix was able to make such a bold move and pull it off perfectly instead of just sticking with the generic Final Fantasy I-VI ripoffs that everyone else is spitting out with better graphics but a quarter of story in terms of quality alone should have been enough to earn the game a high grade.

# In regards to Nintendogs... — thefinalhero 2008-06-05 03:15

Though not necessarily a good game. The innovation behind it is more than likely what earned it the high grade.

# Famitsu = Payola mag — Nineball 2008-06-05 03:46

Famitsu gives annual 36/40s to Dynasty Warriors and calls Vagrant Story (boring) and Nintendogs (niche hype) perfect. Not to mention Enterbrain, the company that owns Famitsu, is in collusion with Sony, it's no wonder they would give such a high score to one of Sony's last and best hopes of moving systems that have been stagnating on store shelves around the world.

# Vagrant Story (boring) ? — NeilR 2008-06-05 03:50

I disagree with you there; Vagrant Story may or may not have been worthy of a perfect score but I think it was a great game.

# Famitsu isn't biased... — thefinalhero 2008-06-05 06:42

Halo 3 got a 37/40, and Lost Odyssey got a 36/40, etc. And if you really look at it, the 360 and PS3 without exclusives are pretty much equal, neither have had any real killer apps, though I do enjoy Dead Rising. The two have pretty dry libraries. Of course, for Sony it will be difficult because the PS2 had an incredible library of games.

# well — psn_gamestar 2008-06-05 08:39

thats ur opinion not fact thefinal hero ive been playing some killer games on my ps3 4 awhile now n y in the **** is mgs4 getting a perfect score such a shocker mgs always get good scores stop with the conspiracy theories im sure it deserves it n more

# I apologize. — thefinalhero 2008-06-05 09:14

I did my research and found that I was wrong in implying the PS3 had few good exclusives. My bad.

# yes and no — platon 2008-06-05 10:57

I dislike FF12 too. I mean, the battle system was cool but had too much automatic stuff (I could win almost all boses without touching the controller, wich was really sad) and the story was... wait, the game had a story? lol.

But I don't share your idea about a perfect score. I think all the games that makes everyone play like crazy for weeks or even months, with great graphics and gameplay, should have a perfect score. A game doesn't have to be perfect to have a perfect score then, it should just surpass by a large margin all the other games made in the genre. And I think MGS4 will be perfect in that way. I finihsed all the MGS games from the playstation era and this one will be even better than the 3rd I'm sure.

# its all good — psn_gamestar 2008-06-05 11:22

ps3 just gonna get better from here on out

# Duh — pissteeth 2008-06-05 17:02

of course it's going to be good I only wrote that to see how many crybabys would whine about it. I am finally going to buy a ps3 for this game it has been a $500 paperweight untill now
