This thread has been linked to the game 'Halo 2'.
It seems even the Japs have found time to leave their girlfriend simulators alone for a few minutes to take in the wonder that is Halo 2...

"Halo 2 is seeing a near simultaneous release worldwide -- a big improvement from the original where gamers in Japan were forced to wait over half a year for the greatness of Bungie's landmark first person shooter. A Japanese release means Japanese reviews, and today we spotted the first one on the pages of Famitsu Xbox, Japan's largest (and only) Xbox exclusive magazine.
In an issue that included reviews for two Japanese titles, Dead or Alive Ultimate (10, 9, 9, 8) and Fatal Frame 2 (8, 7, 8, 9), Halo 2 was given the most favorable rating of the month with a 10, 9, 9 and 9.
The magazine's editor-in-chief scored the game a ten and had this to say: "The battles are totally intense. It's been a while since I've forgotten about sleep and food to this extent while playing a game." We'll skip the bit about the campaign mode in order continue the trend of avoiding spoilers, but the review finishes off with "Xbox users who play this will be truly happy. Seriously."
And those punks who gave the game a 9? Well, they didn't really have anything bad to say about the title, although some admitted to not being big on first person shooters. One reviewer, admitting his distaste for the genre added, "A game that's well put together is of course fun," and "This is too fun!".
As posted in this public service announcement from earlier in the week, IGN's Halo 2 review will go live at noon PST on November 7. Turn back then to see the opinion of IGNXbox's editor in chief, Douglass Cool Perry."

I heard they changed the MasterChief for a schoolgirl, and the main weapon is a small cat with a lightning strike for a tail. You can see her knickers.
"Hi, this is Douglas C. Perry; editor and chief of IGN sux-co*ks and my reviews are fricking hilarious, I look like a Geek who was rim-jawed by the fat girl at school and my genital warts are now the talk of the family, please sit back while I slap my retarded jaw into place and enjoy my cum dribbling video review of my most masturbated game of the year. Please ignore my stutter as my parents kept hitting me in the face as a child and nothing can be done, that is of course until Halo 2."

A cat? More like a mouse, but anyway, 37/40 nice.
