The first Halo 3 review is in ahead of its touted record-breaking release next week, and it's scoring big.

In latest issue of Japanese Weekly Famitsu, one of the mag's four reviewing editors gave Halo 3 a perfect 10/10, with the other free issuing an almost-perfect 9/10.

That's a final score of 10/9/9/9 (37/40) - pretty damn good considering Japan's infamous hatred of all things Xbox/FPS.

We're still waiting for details of the review to trickle in from Japan, though we imagine it probably says something nice about the multiplayer and how much they love the Chief's kooky army customisation. Those crazy Japanese, ay?

As for Western reviews, those will start arriving at the tail end of the weekend, just ahead of the big day on Wednesday, September 26. Believe.

Now if Famitsu says, that, then I think its safe to say WHOA! Now i'm actually LOOKING FORWARD to this game!

I dunno Eternal Sonata scored high as did Blue Dragon. Yet review sites on our side of the planet gave them average scores.

I'm skeptical on whether or not Halo 3 can live up to the hype
