Right, a kind chap from the Edge forums has posted a rough translation of the Famitsu Cube review.

Don't know if anyone's done this already, but here's a (rough) translation of the Famitsu Cube reviews. No review in Famitsu weekly again this week - why?
1 Mizupin
A superlative example of a 3D action game. It's packed everywhere with puzzles that make you go 'Can I really reach there/do that/get that!?', which is very exciting. The game has a high difficulty level so the puzzles aren't easy to solve, but they give you an exceptional feeling when you do. If you set out to enjoy every bit of the game, it goes pretty deep.
Score: 10
2 Rolling Uchizawa
I think it's more difficult than Mario 64. But rather than a hopelessly impossible difficulty, it's a difficulty that gives you just the right level of vexation. The early levels can be enjoyed by absolute newcomers but the 2nd half is directed at 'action gamers'. The large degree of freedom you get from the great number and variety of activities feels really nice.
Score: 10
3 Honda Yayoi
You'll be totally hooked by the cute characters and the fun of cleaning up graffiti. The difficulty's quite high so you'll need to put in a lot of effort. But the ability to choose where you play from or to abandon yourself to things outside the core of the game give you a great deal of freedom so even women and children can enjoy it too. (....er ... and the writer's a woman...!)
Score: 8
4 Devil Fujiwara
It's fun to progress clearing the stages, but simply jumping around the island trying different actions with the pump somehow feels fun. However, the other side of the coin to the large degree of freedom is the seriously tough 2nd half. But it's a challenge worth taking.
Score: 8

Are you American...?
Anyhoo, to qualify I'm not saying Americans are dumb, but they do make certain things in games easier in the US versions of some games... so there.

No, that's the right way. I remember reading it in Edge. Oh, and since when did Edge accept bribes? And what games resulted in higher scores due to bribes?

Oh well, maybe they do, but I thought Famitsu weren't like that.
If that is right..... I wonder why 2 people gave it 8....
