While Final Fantasy XIII isn't set to be released until next week in Japan, the official Famitsu review for the game has been leaked early in Hong Kong.
The game's score was just one point short of a perfect score, getting 39/40, with only one reviewer giving the game a 9/10. According to translations of the leaked scan, the reviewer found faults in the the screen being too cluttered at times but noted that the enjoyment the game provides outweighs the issues.
Final Fantasy XIII is set to be released in Japan on December 17th, 2009 exclusively on the PlayStation3. The game will be available in North American and Europe on March 9th, 2009 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
With only a week until the game's release in Japan, everyone was waiting with baited breath for Famitsu's review to see whether the game would actually live up to the massive hype it's been generating and it seems as though it might just have done that.
They scored it 36/40 (10/9/9/8) and they had some positive, as well as some negative things to say about the game. They praised it for having a great story and a massive range of customisation which has near infinite possiblities. However, they were slightly disappointed with how difficult it is and feared that some people would struggle to grasp the concept of some actions in the game.
Needless to say, this is certainly a good start for the game and hopefully the sales reflect the good review its received from Japan's premier review source.
