Here is the first review for the English audience I have seen:

Review.

The site reviewed a Japanese import of the title and gave it a 9.4, which is a really good score (especially saying they were not even playing the final U.S. version).

Wow! That is a good score!

For what it's worth, EDGE magazine gave it a 9. I wouldn't expect all the scores to be this high, but things look good so far.

All of the reviews I have read say that it is great! The only con is that it is slightly on the short side if you are just playing through the story. I bet I can drag it out much longer though considering how terrible I am at games.

There's supposed to be some side missions and jobs and shopping around and looking for stuff. I've always liked to just explore so I'm sure I can make it stretch.

You also have to keep in mind that reviewers need to finish up games to get to writing their reviews, so any claims about the games length is sometimes unfair.

Yep, those are all factors that most likely apply to the reviewers of this game. I expect they simply rushed through the game without fully taking their time to enjoy it.
