    this is one of the best psn games i've netter played. the only thing that keeps it from perfect is the balancing issues.does 10 humans and 6 bots vs 4 humans and 12 bots seem fair? i thought not

    this game is boring. matches last for a long time without any progress. Without a team full of friends this game is mostly a bore and will most likely waste time.

    Giving Fat Princess anything above a 6 would be encouraging other developers to release games no matter how broke they are.

    Too laggy, the more you lag the slower you move and it makes hitting people too hard when they can move twice as fast, single player is fine but it's not a single player game.

    The game is broken. The gameplay is not thought trough. This game needed another year or so to be fixed. I cannot even get my money back on PSN for this pos.

    There is potential here. That being said, because off players online not working together it's just constant chaos and dying and respawning the whole time until someone wins. Matches are way too long because the two factions are too equally matches. Mostly it's just 2 towers that keep being re-taken by the other side.

    HOW I RATE: 10-9 score: perfect or near-perfect don't exist; 8 score: one of the best games ever. Top score; 7-6 score: great but not one of the best; 5-below score: serious flaws.

    I'd almost give it an 8 if it hadn't been for it's kinda shallow gameplay.

    The game is really cute. i give it that. the AI is horrible and there is no real defense mechanism. Online connectivity is a joke. Looking at the credits there are several famous designers/programmers involved. Were they standing in the sidelines?, because this is amateurish at best.

    Pretty much the greatest DLC title ever. Packed with awesome fun, the multiplayer never gets boring. You don't have to have a special class or anything, so there's an even playing field from the moment you learn how to play. Also, trophies are a nice touch. Well worth buying it's unbelievably fun and finding a game takes no time, instant fun!

When I did connect online (which could take some patience and perseverance for now) I played for two hours straight. The game has a deceptive amount of depth and is addictive for all the right reasons. The single-player is solid, but short and kind of tacked on, but the fact that it's even there with the magnificent online features is enough for me. Also....best...credits sequence...ever.… Expand

    I has promise to be a fun game but it just isn't that fun. Some classes seem overpowered or some are just underpowered. Hardly anyone has a headset(or uses it),so teamwork does not exist. The matches are long and get boring. I think it can be a great game with a few tweaks.

    8. Almost a 10 though. Eventually (i.e. post balance patches, which they have stated will occur), it'll be a 9. But since I can't assume a game that hasn't yet been made (again, post-patch) I have to give it an 8.

Because, it just isn't as *fun* as I thought it would be, nor deep (though I didn't think it would be especially deep). The gameplay is great, and I'm not complaining. But the game just doesn't feel as fun as it could be. It can, at times, be a somewhat frustrating affair. Which is fine, but at the same time it can be a bit simplistic. For example, for the most part character upgrades are fairly irrelevant. It's mostly the base levels are needed, and if the opponent out upgrades you, it's not really all that important. Aside from a few of them (Ice Mage, Main Door, and Catapult) most upgrades are just something you do with money lying around. And obviously objective-based can have frustrations when dealing with players who may, willfully or not, prove to be difficult to completing tasks. And without the ability for the serious players to simply "go rambo" and win, games can become inordinately long and tedious. The "fat" part of the game, while cute conceptually, actually only increases the element of frustration that capture the flag games can often have. Eventually, I hope that the game will be balanced out a bit. Balanced by meaning that games will be shorter and that upgrades will feel more relevant. But at the moment, it's a solid game to kill the time that is on the cusp of brilliance.… Expand

    Amazing game with a well balanced group of classes. There are tons of strategies you can make up and employ to steal that fatty back from the prison. The only thing holding it back right now are some connection issues and players not really working together unless they have some mics. Not really the games's fault that gamers don't chat though...

    This is an excellent game full of style and personality! It's incredibly simple and fun on the surface but below that is a lot of depth and strategy. It also has a "pick up and play" factor that you don't get with similar multiplayer games. One of the first games that i think truly deserve the perfect 10, and well worth it's price tag.

    While I had some fun playing with the cute little graphics and story line, the darn little computer players on your team just do whatever they want, so when you really want to upgrade something, you might have to wait the whole game, but otherwise this was a fun and enjoyable game, and while it was short, the replay value was very high...

I also like that teamwork is pretty much mandatory, some classes when working together can do a stellar job ripping apart the enemy. My only real issue is that, though it is probably temporary, the matchmaking is positively HORRENDOUS. At some times of the day it is nigh impossible to find a match, meaning that if I want to enjoy a match with people that have intelligence and communication skills greater than a rock's, I'm going to have to wait until the wee hours of the night for a chance. Also, the combat's lack of precision might leave something to desire for some super picky individuals, but the hectic nature of the fights is probably what was intended and works just fine, for me at least.

Of course, more teamwork would be nice, but until everyone has a headset, there's not much coordination that can be done. All in all, a 9 out of 10.… Expand

    I agree with Bill. Other than targetting, it is well worth the $15.

    Bubba, please stick to your highly innovative and non-derivative 'Gears of War' games, because we know those haven't been done a million different times by a million different developers looking to make $$$ off of a million different dimwits like you.

I actually have a 360 myself (I love Mass Effect and Lost Oddysey--supremely better titles than GoW) I just think it's funny when a jealous dipshit like Bubba complains about a game he doesn't even own and thinks is 'broken' because of a few connection issues he heard about during the first week of the game's release---which have been remedied, anyway.

    The first time playing Fat Princess I didn't like it much as i thought it was slightly confusing to me but after spending some time with her I realized how awesome this game is. The online play is awesome. It is lots of fun & very funny... Baby Got Back!

    Pure mindless fun with great artwork and fun matches. If this is an early taste of MAG like an other commenter said, MAG is going be awesome. Why? Because Fat Princess is most likely the best downloadable game i have ever played.

    This is the best PSN game made. The graphics are awesome and the gameplay mechanics are fantastic. The story gets the job dome, but its the multiplayer that will keep you playing for hours and hours. This is a must buy.

    Excellent opportunities for skilled game play and team strategy. Good maneuverability throughout and plenty of levels/character combination to keep a player happy.

    Crude cartoonish graphics makes Fat Princess an adorable yet compelling game. From the nice strategy of capturing the fatty to the struggle to get to the other side, Fat Princess is a worth checking out tittle.

    Out of all the DLC content I have ever purchased (and there's a plethora) I find this the least entertaining. Every time I try to give it another go, it's out of obligation to like it and not out of true interest. Many parts of this game are not what they should be. It did have promise but lacks lasting substance.

    Along with Castle Crashers, this is probably one of the greatest PSN games yet. AI is the only way to go though. Online multiplayer is a joke. Graphics are cartoony and at the same time adult.

    I don't understand how people can look past the game's flaws and say it's a great game.

    The level design is poor; just moving around your base can be an exercise in patience, as there are staircases, walls you can't jump over, that don't have to be there at all. Then there are the lava levels where you have to wait (sometimes your only option) for the lava to go down before you can move    I don't understand how people can look past the game's flaws and say it's a great game.

Then there are the lava levels where you have to wait (sometimes your only option) for the lava to go down before you can move forward. And beyond that I've seen players jump to places they shouldn't be able to.

    Online matches can be laggy, where the game pauses for a few seconds now and then, and speeds up afterwards (there's nothing wrong with my connection).

    Worst of all, though, is the pay-to-win DLC. A Ninja can just teleport the princess from your base to theirs. The game is even brazen enough to taunt you by placing a DLC hat type in your base, saying you'd be able to do something about the DLC classes, if only you'd bought the DLC yourself. The most shameful of game design shenanigans.    … Expand

    Fat Princess was highly innovative when it was first released, and it still is a unique game in a sense. The design of characters and settings (which are a fairy-tale in themselves) is probably its main strength together with the multiplayer mode. The campaign is interesting and enjoyable despite not being too long, but it certainly is its online mode that will keep you playing for hours.Fat Princess was highly innovative when it was first released, and it still is a unique game in a sense.

    So the core design, which seems so elegant at first, leads either to quick decisions between teams of unmatched skill, or long slogs worthy of a Russian winter campaign. When the action drags on, the not-inconsiderable cute factor starts to wear away.

    Despite its early growing pains, Fat Princess manages to walk a pretty straight path between frenzied combat and larger-scale tactics. It's a unique take on team-based multiplayer with a lot of personality and charm--and, with any luck, a lot of staying power on the PlayStation Network.

    Fat Princess, despite the dodgy premise, is heaps of fun. It’s old-school gameplay with a fresh new look.
