Customer Ratings & Reviews

Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale is a game that I have been looking forward to all year, and while I'm glad I own it and I find it to be a fun game, I don't think that it has lived up to it's expectations. I really had high hopes for this game, and I still like the game, but I just can't help but feel a little cheated. The character roster is filled with characters that are only there soley to be advertized. For example, Dante from Ninja Theory's new interpretation of Devil May Cry and Raiden from Konami's Metal Gear Rising: Revengance; both of which are games that aren't even out yet. How could characters like this be considered "Playstation All-Stars" if their games aren't even out yet? The graphics look like something you would find on a PS2 or PSP, not a PS3 console. I think that Superbot should have delayed the game till next year to improve the graphics and add more content. Thankfully they have already announced some DLC characters that will be free for download the first week of their release come next year. Each character has their own story that they must go through in an arcade-like ladder, and I use the term "story" loosely, mostly due to the fact that each characters "story" is about as shallow as a kiddie-pool. The only good thing to come out of the arcade mode are the rival battles. Rival battles are different for each character. Basically, two characters from two different games engage in a heated battle towards the end of arcade ladder. Before each battle starts, a funny cutscene plays out showing the two rival characters bicker and insult each-other before the battle begins. For example Kratos knocking an ice-cream cone out of Sweetooth's hands. This is something that the game does right, the humor. The funny physical gags in the backdrops of certain stages for example. That is also one thing the game does right, the stage design is amazing ranging from more light-hearted stages like Franzea from Loco-Roco, to darker, more intense stages like San-Fransisco from Resistance 2. The combat in the game is great, and the each character plays differently, making the game have a whole lot of options too. I have found myself playing as Nathan Drake from the Uncharted franchise to be the most fun I've ever had with a character in a fighting game sense Pheonix Wrights inclusion in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. His moves represent what his game is all about, falling through random floors and zipping across zip-lines that appear in mid air is hilarious and fun. The online aspect of the game is great too! I can't tell you how many hours my friends and I have wasted playing 2v2 matches online against other people. It is more satisfying than you would ever believe. One last thing to note are the unlockables, which range from icons and background for your online player-card to character-specific items like costumes and victory music, and even little characters called "Minions" that are tiny versions of supporting characters from other Playstation games that cheer you on during a battle. The inclusion of these unlockables make the game's replay value much higher than I though it would be originally. In the end however, Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale is just a fun party fighting game that may disappointing you, but is still worth your time. If you haven't already picked up the game, than I would just wait for a price-drop. It is a fun fighting game though, and a worthy addition to my ever-growing PS3 game collection.

This game is really the Sony version of super smash brothers and lives up to the expectation. Lots of characters and locations in which to fight, a great party game.

Easy fighting controlls/system makes it usable for beginners to master and it allows up to 4 people to battle at once which keeps everyone involved. Plenty of caracters to choose from with different fighting styles.

Cool to see character from various games together in one game. I know this is not a new concept but still fun. My kid beats me all the time. Parents: If you want to get better than your kid at this game, I suggest practicing at night when they are asleep.

Bought for my sons who seem to like it, they wish the campaign was better, and that they had more characters. We don't like the god of war character.

You've battled and defeated deadly monsters and villains from Greek mythology, including the God of War himself, as the powerful hero Kratos. You've sped through arenas and down roadways in the sickly...

I picked this game up for 10 bucks, love the game and the price. If you can pick this up do so. you will not regret it.

Bought as a birthday present for 7year old boy. He loved playing it at my house. It is fun for all ages and you play as different characters and play with your family.

This is a fun and simple fighter. It is similar to smash brothers. Many iconic Sony characters.

My daughter loves these well known characters. The action paced game play keeps the kids happy.

A really cute and fun game. The graphics are great. Could easily play this game for hours.

My kids liked battling with the different characters and the different backgrounds

This is a fun game for kids as well as adults. I play it with my 2 and 7 year old.

Enjoy playing this game. My son and I will play this for hours and hours. I would recommend it for anyone who likes to play two person games

A LOT like Super Smash Bros. on the Nintendo, but you can't argue with the PS based characters on here to include Sack Boy. Lots of fun!

Overall this is a fun game with Super Smash Bros. gameplay mechanics. Lots of characters to choose from as well. Only downside is that aside from costumes, and prestige titles, there's not really any unlockable characters, which is what would really drive people to play over and over. solid effort from Sony, and I can't wait to see if there's a sequel. B+
