Dealspwn writes: As an overall package, the game is reasonable value for money, but the clumsy connection options between the PS3 and Vita are very off-putting. The actual fighting is best enjoyed with local multiplayer and can be quite fun before the cramp sets in. The stupid points system that only rewards you points via Specials breaks the game though and is a poor choice on the developer’s part. Patch in some regular health-bar options for an extra mode and we might be back for more. 6/10

It's most likely not his honest opinion. j-blaze didn't get to one bubble because of his immense love for playstation games.
comment histories, PMs, 51 ignores. It is what it is unfortunately.
Think Activision made a pact with Nintendo to sink the Vita by making that awful Black Ops: Declassified. Makes me sad just thinking about playing that game again.
Gaming journalism at its finest...

And I will wick your ass so bad with raiden
You will continue to hate this game
The one thing I want to know is, how do I unlock titles? I don't get it and I play ranked games alot. I see some of yall with titles under your avy/background.... but how did you earn them? Thanks, Peace
I'm not sure how to get titles, I think they might be unlocked at the end of a season or something depending on what belt you've got :) I never got them last season so I'm hoping I do this time
I think there is like 12 days left
Now this is a real troll review.
"Of course, the gameplay is what matters — let’s pretend we all believe that for the sake of the rest of this review — and here again, you’re pretty much playing a Super Smash Bros. clone minus Nintendo’s unhinged Japanese creativity and minus the fundamentals of the Super Smash gameplay. This isn’t obvious at first. Each all-star has a manageable handful of moves, some of which are admittedly cute, most of which presumably fit into a sense of meaningful fighting game balance, and almost all of which wear out their welcomes after a couple of matches.
Why isn’t this the case with Super Smash Bros., a game that also has a small handful of moves for each character (and a colorful manual that documents most of the characters)? What’s going on in Nintendo’s game that’s missing in Sony’s game, and why does it matter so much?"

some people just need the easy button for everything.
So I played against 2 hardest lvl Radic and drake go my ass kicked but now I'm badass
Love this game
The levels, IMO, were just alright. My favorite being the Uncharted/Bioshock one.
I agree 1000% that the combat scoring system sucks. You can get hit with a long combo, but as long as you avoid the final special attack, you're fine. What? In any other fighting game, the more damage taken/less HP you have, the more urgency players have to avoid more and more attacks because those light attacks can now kill you. You don't need to see high-level play to see that everyone feels that urgency of near death in every other fighting game.
"Stop comparing it to smash bros. They are 2 different games!"
They used Smash bros as a template and Smash bros is the closest relative to Sony all-stars. So it's really hard not to compare it to Smash bros. As a first try, All-stars isn't that bad of a fall. They tried to make a pure competitive game, and IMO, they failed. Why? Because fighting games ARE COMPETITIVE NO MATTER WHAT! As long as there's a 2 player or more mode (vs/Non-co-op), it's competitive. Smash bros (series) was meant to be a party game, but people clearly play it competitively.
A 6/10 is a little lower than what I'd personally give it, but this game is no where near 8.5~10/10 material. It has too many negatives going to for it. My major negative being its main gimmick; that only specials kill people.
It's OK, learning to adapt to a new system that is far more complex then a health bar is not for everyone.
There are plenty of other fighters (all of them) that you simple minded folk can play which involve health bars.
A new skillful fighting system THAT IS DIFFERENT and ORIGINAL from EVERY OTHER FIGHTER is obviously not for you.
Unless you are counting the small irrelevant sites. Maybe then you might have uncharted 3 and God of war 3 but I would only go so far as saying 3 tops and that's stretching. Multiplat ruled this Gen whether you like it or not.
Bad year? Dud?
Journey just won IGN's GOTY. Exclusive MLB12 The Show has the same meta avg as MS flagship Halo4. Even the best HD re-issue of the year, Move enabled Okami (90% critical avg) is an exclusive.
Conversely, two Fable games critically -bombed- this year (Fable the Journey, Fable Heroes), Witcher2 and Forza Horizons didn't sell. Alan Wake's American Nightmare came and went just like its predecessor. No one console ran away with anything, which is why boasting about taking a year off from multi-console gaming seems ill-advised.
@ Lvl_up_Gamer
Dude, really? Journey just won IGN's GOTY. They a small site? Demon's Souls won several awards including GOTY from Gamespot. LittleBigPlanet won tons of GOTYs including from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. Heavy Rain cleaned up at the BAFTAs, Uncharted cleaned up everywhere. Where ya been?
That has got to be one of the most pathetic comparisons I have ever read.
Yes Journey won GOTY on IGN, while Spike gave it to The walking dead. Journey only got it because they wanted to give a shoutout to indy devs seeing as how The walking dead got GOTY by Spike.
Anyone who actually thinks Journey (a 2 hour game with zero replayability, basic textures and graphics, no dialog and an ending that has no real purpose other then to get to a finish line)is the ultimate game released this year over titles like Mass Effect 3, Halo 4, Assassins Creed 3 and Borderlands 2 are just delusional.
This was the year where big sites like IGN and SPIKE to give credit and hardwork to devs and to open up a larger market for more Indy devs.
It's the "trendy" thing to do this year. But don't kid yourself if you think Journey was the greatest game released this year. It's a great game and I enjoyed it a lot, but it was as basic as a game can get.
On that note, don't "buh buh buh" about Journey, calling ppl delusional. They did something without pew pew guns or blood and succeeded. Even got a Grammy nod out of it. Of your nominees, Halo 4 will be remembered for its souless Doritos/Mountain Dew campaigns and Geoff Keighley. Fact is a lot of ppl were disappointed in AC3 & ME3 too, or do you not remember the negative backlash which culminated in ppl leaving BioWare? ME3 rewrote the book on damage control.
5 exclusive goty? Lol!
He says it right there in his comment:
"I haven't touched my ps3 since street fighter tekken and before that uncharted 3"
How did you miss that? Sheesh.
There might be some other points in there of merit, but it's such a poorly-written review I didn't bother finishing it. Try Gamespot's review for some comparable, well-articulated criticism.
