Mark from DC writes: Right, let’s nip this in the bud: PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is not like Super Smash Bros. Firstly, Smash Bros is fun. Secondly, there were brawlers before Smash Brosand there will be brawlers after Smash Bros. Thirdly, no, this will not be a solely comparison-based review because every game should stand on its own merits, regardless of what has come before it. DO YOU GET THAT!? CAN WE STOP COMPARING THEM NOW!?
While Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale didn't get the best review, there are still some aspects of the game that deserve some credit.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.
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.
That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
6/10?!
It deserves at VERY LEAST an 8/10, most people agree. Personally, I would give it a 10/10, and most would give it an 8.5 or 9 out of 10...
Wow I kick Kratos all day, his supers are like the easiest to avoid... even lvl 3 super. what is this guy smokin?
Someone whining about Kratos again?
Get better. I own Kratos with Sly. It's all in the timing
The gameplay is the only thing going for this game. The menus are mediocre, the roster is lacking, and the music, although catchy, is just alright. Don't get me started on arcade mode.
However, the balancing is near perfection, and gameplay is amazing. 6/10 is spot on for this game.
Smash Bros. is fun. He's right. It's just not as fun as All-Stars...
