This has been frustrating me for some time. While I was in Japan, getting reviews on games was easy, I'd just grab a Famitsu or something, but Famitsu's web site doesn't publish their reviews. Gamespot Japan, Dengeki Online and Impress Game Watch have awesome news, and sometimes have what they call "reviews" of games, but they are completely uncritical and don't tell me if the game is good or not, they are more like a gameplay summary. Importing a game is expensive and difficult if not possible to undo, where the hell do Japanese go online to find reviews for newly released games?

I'd love to know this too - haven't found a good place yet though.

Gamefaqs boards for the game. That's really the only place I know of. Usually you can get some decent impressions of games right around when they're released, even the more obscure ones.

I dunno, the maturity level is pretty low around there, I can't say I enjoy reading the forums. Besides, if they have the import and are posting there, it usually means they are wild about the game, and not suitable to provide a review.
