    Unexpected depth in combat for those who explore, fan service for old digimon fans, gorgeous graphics, great OST with many memorable tracks and a kickass roster to top it all off. Digimon All-Star Rumble not only made Digimon World 4's gameplay enjoyable but also enhaced the Rumble series!

Digimon All-Star Rumble not only made Digimon World 4's gameplay enjoyable but also enhaced the Rumble series!

    Bringing attack cancelling, counter options and making each character unique in their own special way, this game would have been a sucess if it wasn't for the release date, that was near Super Smash Bros 4.

    With a simple story that has a few twists that you weren't expecting ( Play Guilmon's story to know what I'm talking about ) and interactions between diferent characters of the series makes it an enjoyable experience that becomes even better once you know how to get past those tricky wild digimon.

    The combat seems simple if you look at it superficially, but once you try to experiment with it you'll discover about attack cancelling, ways to defend yourself more efficiently and even counter digivolutions. Basically, combat seems very simple at first and then becomes this very deep way of fighting and planning as you play more and more with the game.

    The sound department isn't too shabby either, awesome pieces of original music that fit the stages and get stuck in your head more often than not. The voice acting is quite good as well, I was skeptic at first since there wasn't an option to get the original japanese voice cast but I was met with a pleasant suprise.

    Graphical wise the game looks pretty good for a ps3 game and captures the essence of Digimon quite well. Each local has it's unique visual feel to it and combine that with the detailed character models and you'll be enchanted with the game.

    Of course, the game has it's flaws. No online and making the A.I easier ( even on hard mode where it doesn't use the substition like jutsu or attack cancelling agaisnt you ) does hurt the game and it has a very chaotic ( but not fun ) feeling when you're up agaisnt a free for all match with 3 A.I players but the game compensates with a team battle mode and 6 unique battle modes that you can enjoy. If you have friends that enjoy this type of game or just digimon in general, you've just guaranteed tons and tons of hours of fun with them, but don't forget that the game is still fun on your own.

    In short, don't be discouraged by the negative reviews, I've been playing the game for 20+hours and I've been loving the experience, if you like Digimon and/or Fighting games this is the game for you.    … Expand

You stupid reviewers only look at the negative part of the game. The developers put a lot of work into this just to get hate? Get real. I love doing the story mode over and over again, its actually fun, because the characters have different dialogues. I wish i could know more about the places we visit, that abandoned factory, the evolution castle etc. They are really interesting places which i would love to study more. See? The game has lots of content! If you stupid haters continue on hatin' Bandai wont bring us any Digimon game anymore, is that what you want? Of course not.
    tl;dr: this game rocks.    … Expand

    In my opinion this game is so good , and if you played it with someone , like 2 to 4 players on the same console, it going to be one of the most enjoyable game you'll ever seen

    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.
