    I have played Digimon Rumble Arena in the past and I loved it. I didn't expect the best game with Digimon All-Star Rumble, but man that was a disappointment. Graphics look like PS2, Gameplay is worse than the original, technic is bad, the characters are unbalanced and story .... well, what Story? Altogether a bad game that should be bought on a big sale for a family or a couch coop night.I have played Digimon Rumble Arena in the past and I loved it.

    As a child, I was a huge Digimon fanatic, and I always loved waking up every morning to watch "Digimon Adventure," "Digimon Adventure 2" and "Digimon Tamers." Though I started to drift away with "Digimon Frontier" and officially checked out by the time "Digimon Data Squad" premiered, I still had a soft spot in my heart for the series, not only because of the shows, but because of the twoAs a child, I was a huge Digimon fanatic, and I always loved waking up every morning to watch "Digimon Adventure," "Digimon Adventure 2" and "Digimon Tamers." Though I started to drift away with "Digimon Frontier" and officially checked out by the time "Digimon Data Squad" premiered, I still had a soft spot in my heart for the series, not only because of the shows, but because of the two "Digimon Rumble Arena" games. Both games were huge parts of my childhood and I played them with my brother very often. Though I no longer have access to "Digimon Rumble Arena 2," my brother, friends and I still play the first game every so often to relive the childhood memories. As soon as I heard that a new game in the style of "Rumble Arena" was being made, I knew I had to get it. Even though I knew the game wasn't going to be "spectacular," I had to at least give it a shot. Now that I've gotten through the story mode, I can say that "Digimon All-Star Rumble" is better than I expected (my brother made it out that the game would be awful), but it's still everything it's supposed to be.
    "Digimon All-Star Rumble" only had to be one thing: a cute, fun little fighting game featuring plenty of our favorite Digimon. To that degree, the game mostly succeeds. It's got a roster of some great Digimon (although there could've been a few more), some pretty solid visuals, and a fun burst of nostalgia. Getting to see characters like Agumon, Veemon and Guilmon on screen fighting each other gives me that nostalgic burst I was hoping it would have. Even if the combat is relatively "button-mashy," it's still pretty fun to play, and the Digivolutions are pretty cool to see.
    That said, the game isn't without its faults. For starters, why the hell aren't there cutscenes? How lazy could you get that the "cutscenes" at the beginning and end of the story are literally single pictures? Come on, now. Aside from that, though, the lack of online is unfortunate and while the platforming sections in the story mode are a nice touch, they can't help but feel overly derivative. In all honesty, I feel like I'm literally playing a repainted version of "Skylanders" featuring Digimon. Oh, and if you're expecting a deep, intricate fighter, this isn't it. In my experience with the previous "Digimon Rumble Arena" games, I found that "camping" can be a decent strategy in many cases, but this game takes it to new levels, as being in a 3D plain now gives you more room and freedom to run away.
    All things considered, "Digimon All-Star Rumble" is nothing more than an okay little fighting game that kids and hardcore Digimon fans should get some enjoyment out of. For anyone else, though, there are far more enticing options out there.

    Awesome to see digimon rumble make a comeback! It is a bit painful unlocking the characters as the story mode becomes repetitive but it is fun playing it multiplayer.

    This is in no means a classic Digimon game or a must have for the console but it's fun if you play multiplayer with 4 players.

    Although die-hard fans of the franchises could find it somewhat entertaining, Digimon All-Star Rumble fails so hard in becoming an enjoyable option in brawler games, even more when there are better options out there.

    Even die-hard Digimon fans will find very little to relish in this western-only release. For everyone else, many other fighting games can provide a more satisfying experience.

    Unfortunately, this isn’t the Digimon game fans will be jumping up and down for nor is it something they deserve.
