"I know it’ll be hard for some skeptics to believe, but PlayStation All-Stars is its own game, and it even happens to do some things better than what inspired it. Give it a try and see for yourself."
+ Fun, dynamic gameplay
+ Unique goal and scoring system
+ Robust roster of characters, stages
+ Great cross-play, cross-save Vita/PS3 options
– Lack of presentational quality
8.0/10
Edit: Uh oh, the people agreeing with me didn't realize I was being sarcastic :|
Interestingly enough, the only con he mentioned in the end was the lack of presentational quality, so 8 seems too low if you only judge by the summary. Still, if that's the only thing that stood out negatively, I have a lot to look forward to in the game

Looks like good or bad review people like NeverEnding are going to be bringing up the "live app" when it comes to PS games.
Edit:
Anyway we should be giving SuperBot a lot of credit for being able to make this game so solid that a lot of reviewers are actually judging the game on it's own merit and thereby seeing how good Battle Royale really is.
It's really tough for a dev to make a game in genre that is dominated by a great and established game without people comparing it to the standards of that established game.
So the same old crap Black Ops 2 gets a 9.3 for example, yet a well made, creative new game like this gets an 8.
I'm not saying an 8 is rubbish or I'm not happy with it, it's just the review dosen't really fit the score, I mean it sounds like he enjoyed it alot...
Hell even an 8.3/8.5/8.8 since the scoring has reverted back to the old ways but just an 8....come on IGN, even Borderlands 2 DLC for example, Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage Review got an 9.3
See blitza0623 gets it above
"Interestingly enough, the only con he mentioned in the end was the lack of presentational quality, so 8 seems too low if you only judge by the summary"
Thats what I'm talking about, the review dosent really match the score.
If the same old game with minor improvments can keep getting good scores why is it games like this where the developers have slaved over the game to make it good get lower ones despite it being a nice change the standard FPS games we keep getting.
Besides like I've said above the only con he mentioned was the Presentation but even then how did menus and cut scenes drop it by 20 in the review. It dosent really make sense, it seems like a small flaw to drop the score that low. It's at least a solid 9 by what he's writen about it
you do realise that MoH has been around longer than Call of Duty right? Also this game has more differences than similarities to Smash, play it first then criticize.
Firstly, compare the Outfoxies arcade game that Super Smash Brothers was based off of to any Super Smash Brothers game. You cannot sit there and tell me that it's ''minor improvements'' and the ''same old game''. Honestly.
Exactly, and you can't say the same about Playstation All Stars. The games while looking the same, are very different.
On topic this game looks very cool, I especially love the ability to play with vita players on a ps3 and vice versa, will buy over christmas break!
Edit: Actually I'll buy it when i've finished persona 4 :3
I'm waiting for mine in the mail, but i have to go pick up another copy for my wife. She's been playing the demo for the last couple of weeks on the vita that she stole from me forcing me to buy another Vita.
it goes
1. unplayable
2. barely even remotely playable.
3. horrible
4. little good, mostly bad though.
5. medicore some good, some bad
6. flawed, but worth a shot if your into it.
7. has good points, a fun game, flawed but has something going for it.
8. great game, some aspects are missing but its worth to check out.
9.amazing, it has very few flaws and is near perfect.
10. a legendary game, everyone should play this, even if your not into it. its almost flawless and amazing.
I'm getting the game because I loved the beta and played it for days despite buying some killer games. Looking forward to later today when I get PSASBR. *_*
Remember when Smash first came out it was a solid title it was with the sequels that Smash was able to cement itself, i can see the same happening with PSAS & the sequels that will follow. I just hope that the PS fanbase support this game well enough to garner more games.
