    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. Overwhelming hype and excitement followed Fat Princess every where it went following its public unveiling @ E3 08. Unfortunately Fat Princess simply doesn't live up to the hype at all. In fact it falls way short. Slowly but surely PS3 fanboys are discovering 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!

    Fun, fast-paced, and very addicting. The graphics have a unique charm, even when you die a bloody and gruesome death. Lots of depth for those wanting to get a lot out of the game.

    I've never posted a review for anything here before, but I had to speak up about this game. This game is easily my favorite game on the PSN (save for the magnificent "Flower"). Rarely do games come along that exude so much fun, happiness, and such spot on humor (save for Tim Schafer games). As of launch the online functionality is a little sketchy, but Titan has already said I've never posted a review for anything here before, but I had to speak up about this game.

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.

    Should be a 9, but online problems that SHOULD have been solved in beta hurt the score.

    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

    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.

    It's a great little game, well worth the $15 price tag. A lot of depth of strategy becomes clear as you play and learn the game.

    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.

    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.

    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.
