Final Fantasy XIII-2 has received full marks from Japanese publication Famitsu, bagging an impressive 40/40.

That means each of the game’s four reviewers awarded the RPG sequel a shiny 10, also commenting that Square has ironed out any creases found in the original, offering a follow-up that’s brimming with content.

By comparison, the game’s predecessor didn’t do too shabby either, bagging 39/40 in late 2009.

FFXIII-2 is the third game to receive top marks this year, the other two games being The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

    This would have to be a massive improvement over the first game for me to buy it again.

    Not been impressed with a FF game since IX.

    Don't get me wrong i'm intrigued by all the good press this game is getting, but I couldn't bring myself to finish XIII and not sure I want to pick up the story where I won't fully understand what has gone on. Plus, the battle system felt like a chore.

    I hope they make some serious changes to the sequal. I was a huge FF fan and loved every game untill ff13 I have still to this day never managed to keep going after the shiva sisters just lost the will to live. So fingures crossed they sort it but still think it'l be a rent before buying it for me.

     I will be getting this for sure. It does look like they listened to a lot of complaints.

     This is good news and I'm glad that they have addressed many of the complaints that people had.  Unfortunately this means that people will play the game expecting it to be perfect and come away disappointed.  That is always the problem when things get hyped...
