The good citizens over at NeoGAF have picked up the latest issue of Famitsu, and revealed that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has garnered a perfect score from the Japanese magazine. Well, at least we now know it'll be worth all the delays.

Brawl is only the seventh game in Famitsu history to receive a 40/40. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the first back in 1998, followed by Soul Calibur, Vagrant Story, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Nintendogs, and Final Fantasy XII. Of course, Famitsu's score just represents the opinions of four reviewers, so we'll have to wait for more reviews to come out before we decide whether or not this is worth the purchase (yeah right).

After reading the other games that got 40/40's (other than SC and Zelda OoT) I'm unsure whether to believe them or not ;).

So true. There are a lot of mediocre Wii games out there, so saying this ones a 40/40 doesn't mean much.

I never really liked famitsu's reviews. A lot of the reviews seem pretty biased. I tend to make my own review and never go by what they say. It's like believing everything EGM or Gamepro says. Just because Famitsu is a japanese gaming mag, doesn't mean they are the end all be all of reviews.
