Half the review is roster complaints pretty pathetic review.

@Blastoise
Nah playing a game is so last gen for reviewers they just look at the boxart and if they like that 8/9/10 if they dont 5/6/7.

The game makes every character feel different from each other which is amazing even bad cole and good cole have different move sets from each other with good being a bit more controlled and bad being badshit all over the place crazy.

Blastoise4166d ago

I agree, can we get over the fact Crash isn't in it now? and ya know, talk about how the characters that actually ARE in it play?

soundslike4166d ago

Combos? What are those? Are those the things where I hit square three times?

SpiralTear4166d ago

They were pretty apathetic towards the game in the Quick Look, but I really didn't expect Jeff to ramble on about the roster so much in the full review, which felt pretty unpolished and unprofessional to me. To each their own, I suppose.

Bollocks all these"reviewers" sound like spoilt brats crying to mommy "but I want crash in the game" boo hoo. I want crash too but I'm not a journalist and I know that crash is excluded due to copyright reasons.the reviewer was probably one of those button mashing kratos whom I destroy online.

Here is a thought.how about you review the game solely on the content on disc and mainly on gameplay cause you know it is a game after all.

Want a challenging brawler with quirky characters and tons of strategy give this a shot.you wanna pretend your a "hardcore gamer" go buy black ops 2
get out of here

SOULJER4166d ago

Why people crying for crash. He's has been turn out like a two dollar hoe, and is not even owned by Sony.

trouble_bubble4166d ago

It (game journalism) is an industry run by man-children, what do you expect? If these writers were any good at what they did, they'd have real jobs and wouldn't be bitching about Crash Bandicoot's glory days from 15 years ago and what defines "playstation flavor". Everyone else hopefully still remembers that games are supposed to be fun.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Launched 10 Years Too Early

Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.

It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.

CrimsonWing69520d ago

Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?

It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.

PapaBop520d ago

I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.

spoonard520d ago

I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.

Magatsuhi520d ago

Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.

Father__Merrin520d ago

Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it

God of War: Ragnarok Weirdly Makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Canon

God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

Nyxus527d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer526d ago

That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
