    Fat Princess is one of the best games to have come out as downloadable content.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    In Fat Princess the graphics are cheerful and the mayhem is exciting, yet the game only deserves an 8 and not a 10 or even a 9 because of the team balancing issues already mentioned by other users.

    Easy with the 10's, kids. This game IS a blast to play online (while the offline mode leaves much to be desired), but it has blatant balancing issues. A team of 3 humans and 13 bots against 10 humans and six bots is absolutely NOT a fair match up - especially when the bots have the reasoning skills of a rock.

    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 expect a sequel.

    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.

    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.

    This game is a good start from Titan Studios. This game is ok in the graphics department, the audio is cute and very entertaining, and the gameplay is masterful. This game is very addicting and is simple to pick up but hard to master, at $15 this game is well worth it for this much content. The only thing keeping this from being "perfect" is all the small glitches and connection problems. This game is a good start from Titan Studios.

    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...

    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 8. Almost a 10 though.

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

    I really love this game. Its funny, fast, easy to play and competitive. The controls are simple to pick up and just oozes charm. I have no idea what Eurogamer was thinking. Typically the Euro scores skew low. A "6" is waaaaay out of line.

    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.
