Japanese gaming bible Famitsu has awarded Dragon Quest IX a perfect 40/40 score!

Japanese magazine Famitsu has awarded Square Enix's Dragon Quest IX top marks - ten out of ten from its four reviewers, making for the legendary 40 total. This is only the tenth game Famitsu has ever awarded this honour to, the first being Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64 back in 1998.

Since its release in Japan last weekend, the game has sold a staggering two million copies in just two days, selling out across the country. The game had been in development since 2006, and still has no Western release date. We'll keep you posted.
