Just a few days left until the much anticipated Persona 4 is released over in Japan. Here is what the four random reviewers in the Famitsu magazine say about it:

Reviewer 1

• The response of the controls and tempo of the battles are nice and fast.
• Party members help you in battle if you concentrate on their Social Links.
• Dungeons are simple but unique.

Reviewer 2

• No big difference from its predecessor but still has its charm.
• Lots of improvements such as easier to get around and better event scenes.
• Trying to solve the mysterious murders inside the TV makes an interesting story.

Reviewer 3

• Great fun levelling up in battle and through Social Links.
• Battle tempo makes up for the need of saving up lots of experience points.

Reviewer 4

• Good screen layout and easy to understand battle system shows high quality.
• Good battle tempo and dialogue makes it great to play even for long hours.

And the final score was 8 / 9 / 8 / 8 giving it a grand total of 33/40. Not too shabby. It seems like most of the good points are the same as P3 so maybe it’s not surprising that it got the same overall score.
