Perfect review scores
As of 2020 [ update ] , twenty-seven games have received perfect scores from Famitsu .
The Japanese video game magazine Famitsu assigns scores to video games by having four reviewers each give a score from 0 to 10 (with ten indicating the best game). The scores of the four reviewers are then added up for a maximum possible score of 40. From the twenty two games awarded with a perfect score as of 2016 [update] , three are for the Nintendo DS and five are for the Wii . The PlayStation 3 also has five games with a perfect score and the Xbox 360 has four, with both consoles having two titles in common. The others are for different platforms with only one title each. Franchises with multiple perfect score winners include The Legend of Zelda with four, Metal Gear with three, followed by Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy with two. As of 2020 [update] , every game but three with a perfect score are either published and/or developed by a Japanese company, nine of them being by Nintendo , five by Square Enix , three by Sega , three by Konami , two by Namco , two by Sony Interactive Entertainment and one by Capcom .
