Cinelinx: "I have always loved Super Smash Bros. and it’s the one game that has always made me miss having a Nintendo console. However I have always loved the idea of Sony doing something similar. So many characters to choose from, so many ideas, and it’s finally here! The two games are not the same at their core. Is the idea the same? Sure, but anyone that gives both games a shot will quickly learn they are two very different experiences. Which is a good thing, we get to see a very awesome game with very creative ideas. At its core, PlayStation All-Stars is a stellar fighting game about some of the most iconic characters in the industry."
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.
Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it
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.
I like this game. I think more people should give it a chance, instead of just looking at the metacritic (Which by the way has a lot of positive reviews) and giving up on the game because it didn't exactly get critical acclaim. But yeah, the campaign is over in a about 15 minutes & the menu's really DO suck. But just play a few matches online with a friend and you'll realise the gameplay is really fun
i think right now for $40 at amazon and bestbuy. this is a big bargain. you get ps3 and vita versions.
This game needed more content. Any true Sony fans from day one would understand where im coming from. Too many unique characters were left behind. It just isn't good enough. Sorry.
The game is fun. You dont have to be a fighting game person to enjoy it. Fun is fun.
But the online issues are completely frustrating.
Got this game the day it came out, none of my friends got it and played a few random games online. won a few, lost a few but in the end I didn't enjoy it and haven't played it since, if you are looking to get this game to satisfy some smash bros fix, don't get it.
If you have some friends you can play with then try it by all means, you might enjoy it.
