Well, the reviews for Dragon’s Dogma, which comes out next Tuesday in North America, are starting to trickle in. Word on the beat is that the game is seeing quite a bit of praise in the East, starting with famed games magazine Famitsu’s very positive review.

Dogma has received high scores across the board with Famitsu’s “cross review” format, where several reviewers weigh in with their impressions. The game scored an 8/9/8/9 for a total of 34 out of 40, earning it a “Hall of Fame: Gold” award. Sweet!

In particular, the review praises the game’s variety in combat, the effectiveness of working together with Pawns, the exceptionally fun sidequests, and the uniqueness of each vocation.

The number of pre-orders for the game in Japan has also reportedly exceeded half a million! Look out for more coverage of the game in the next few days, and of course the game’s auspicious release on the 22nd (or 25th in Europe)!
