Famitsu reviews five PS3 launch titles

Again, more of the kindness of strangers who read the magazines for us. And if EGM can review Wii launch titles, why can’t Famitsu review PS3 launch titles? And let’s thank the strangers, more specifically wotter of E-mpire Forums and Jonnyram of NeoGAF, who revealed what Famitsu thought of each launch title:

• Miyazato Golf Club = 7, 7, 7, 7
• Genji: Days of the Blade = 7, 7, 7, 8
• Resistance: Fall of Man = 9, 8, 8, 8
• Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire = 8, 8, 8, 8
• Riiiiidge Racer 7 = 9, 9, 9, 9

Here’s what Famitsu had to say about each title (from wotter):

• Sega Golf
• Good tempo
• You can’t accurately determine where your shot will fall
• Doesn’t really look next-generation
• Genji
• Camera sucks, but looks great
• Challenging for beginners
• Good amount of content
• Good controls

• Good amount of content
• Good controls
• Resistance
• Standard FPS gameplay
• Excellent netplay
• Very high standard of next-generation
• Gundam
• Excellent models of Mobile Suits
• Opinions on the game are divided because it relies heavily on accurate input
• The systems are problematic
• Great textures
• Tons of optional and unlockable content
• Overall it’s satisfying even though opinions are divided on it
• Ridge Racer 7
• Totally satisfactory
• The amount of content is totally satisfying
• The high quality of the graphics and sound are very pleasing

The Resistance scores impressed some replies to both wotter’s and jonnyram’s posts. This is considering that (a) it’s not a Japanese-produced title, and (b) there is some traditional resistance (pun intended) to FPS in Japanese markets (Of course, they still judged it as “standard” FPS gameplay…). Or maybe Ted Price was right, and Resistance will open new doors for FPS titles in Japan.

And the high scores of RR7? Maybe they were big fans of Reiko?
