Tyler Lee of The Geek Link writes- For several years now, Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. series has become a household name; the go to game if you want to grab your favorite iconic characters and have a knockdown, drag out battle with them. Now Sony has thrown their own game into the mix with PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. It gives you the option of taking your favorite characters from your PlayStation system; such as Kratos, Sly Cooper, or Cole McGrath, and pitting them against each other. PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale’s execution produces a fun way for you and your friends to mindlessly duke it out with characters that have no business in each others’ games, as long as you don’t plan on playing on your own for more than an hour.
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.
this game is soooo fun with friends...onlines alittle just cause you feel like u should be playing with friends, laughing, and having a great time...but the single player just leaves me feeling empty when i win lol
4/5 for me....lowest is 3.5/5 lol
Its always in a group setting, no one is really playing the single player and everyone plays on stock on multiplayer. so for a game to have such a crap single player and such a vague multiplayer how does this game get higher than a 1.5 or 2?
Like what tokyo_ reject said "This game is soooo fun with FRIENDS!!" "but the single player just leave me feeling EMPTY!!"
Everyone I know has played through the single player as every character and they still do it to level up. :) Obviously, it's the most fun when you are playing with three other people.
@nexgensensation Multiplayer is arguably what this is made for, so why would the game get such a low score when the multiplayer is fine. Granted the single player is pretty shallow and feels tacked on, that doesn't mean that the entire game is bad.
Let's be real here... this game failed. Plain and simple.
