PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

monkeymitcho's PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PlayStation 3) review

Sony Smash Bros. Tries Something new but Ultimately Falls Flat.

Going into this game i didn't know what to think. It seems like a blatant copy of the popular Super Smash Bros. series, however they do some things that make it unique, perhaps too unique. The main problem with this game is that most of its ads has been positioning this game as a party game. This is false advertising. What is the main thing to having a party game? Simplicity this game has none of that. Instead of beating somebody up and them dying you have to use one of your 9 moves to gain some super meter (Each of which is unique to each character) and knock someone out in order to gain to points. (if you die you lose 1)

If you go solo and learn each character (which isn't very fun) you will quickly realize the main problem with this game, the combat is slow and clunky you will find yourself constantly hitting the button 2 or 3 times before you even manage to get the move you want to hit.

I can't imagine this game has any staying power when it comes to competitive gaming, as for whether i would recommend it or not...... I wouldn't i just don't think it's very good it doesn't please anybody on either side. Whether you're looking for a fun party game or you like Super Smash Bros. i don't think you'll have a very good time.

At first glance, most might write off this game as a Sony-branded Super Smash Bros. clone. While in some ways that may be true, that would be unfair to the game since it does a lot to differ itself from its competitor’s counterpart thanks to its many tweaks and own unique style to various parts of the game.More importantly, who doesn’t want to play as any of the multiple iconic characters of Sony’s past franchises? Who do you think will win if Kratos goes up against the all so witty treasure hu...

PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale is a cool, if limited, way to celebrate the history of Sony’s time in videogames 0
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale(PlayStation 3) by domstercool on March 26, 2013
From its first announcement, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was always going to have an uphill struggle against the waves of gamers calling it out as a Super Smash Bros. clone. Even the official PlayStation YouTube channel had put the words “Super Smash Brothers” in its tags, which I guess would mean Sony’s PR team just assumed it was a replica of Nintendo’s smash-hit fighter. The industry is full of copycat games, so I am fine with Sony trying their own take on the formula, but with some s...
