GameArena: "The gameplay really works, and it offers something significantly different to other fighting games, but with this feeling of something missing present in the game, and the online being as poor as it is quite often (a crucial part of fighting games nowadays), I’m afraid I just can’t give this a score any higher than I have."
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.
7.5 is probably spot on for this game. The gameplay is so good, but everything else is so mediocre at best.
No, it is definitely higher then that. The game being mediocre is if you nitpick it. If you accept it for what it is it is much higher then a 7.5. Like people who take out point because the menus are not nice enough or the story isn't deep enough. That is BS.
7.5 is a good score though.
