    Un videojuego de lucha inspirado en el Super Smash Bros, donde el rooster de personajes son diversos personajes iconicos de Playstation y algunos invitados de otras empresas.

    El apartado artistico según el escenario que se escoja varia para adaptarse a como es el diseño artistico de la frnaquicia de la que proviene, lo que es un buen punto, pero la cantidad de escenarios disponibles es muy justo, hubiera sido mejor tener un par más de escenarios.

    La lista de canciones disponibles del videojuego posee canciones originales y otras de algunas de la franquicias que aparecen en el juego, y al igual que los esenarios, la lista de canciones es muy justa, hubiera sido mejor algunas más.

    Los personjes disponibles para el momento del lanzamiento eran suficiente, pero la cantidad que se agrego por medio de DLC fue insuficiente para un juego como este, donde se puede jugar de forma local de a 4 jugadores.

    Sobre los trofeos que el juego presenta, ninguno es problematico y te hacen por lo menos pasarte el juego con cada personaje y realizar ciertas acciones especificas, siendo esto también con los personajes DLC. Por otro lado lastimosamente el server prontamente fue cerrado por Playstation, por lo que los trofeos online del juego son ahora imposibles.

    Sobre los modos de juego locas, debo de mencionar que son muy divertidos para pasar el rato con amigos, jugando de a 2, 3 o 4 jugadores de forma local, pudiendo ser usada una PS Vita como mando. Por otro lado, de forma individual, una vez completado los arcades con cada personaje, ya no queda mucho que hacer.    … Expand

    Cómo hacer un Smash mal. Ciertamente aburrido, la mecánica para vencer no tenía ningún tipo de sentido y la recompensa por acabar el arcade era poco satisfactoria.

    PlayStation fans will enjoy the character roster and their fighting moves. However, the game comes with a lackluster story (with lackluster character interactions) and strange balancing issues. Dumb fun.

    This game was fun and smooth with some PlayStation fan service. But on the surface, this is still just a PlayStation Rip off of Smash bros. Everything about his screams Smash bros but without the charm. I had a lot of fun with this game but it has flaws. Like the fact that I just need Kratos and spam ⬜and win.

    Playstation All-Stars might not have been able to compete with the likes of Smash Bros but it's a solid fighting game with plenty of fun to offer even with its lack of content. If they learn from their mistakes with this game I would love to see a sequel someday with the same ambition as Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

    This game had legit potential to rival Super Smash Bros. with a cast of the biggest PlayStations IPs to ever exist. Alas, good ideas only really work if executed well, and this game struggles greatly in this department.

    Battle Royale is overall a good game to play, but it is bogged down by the overall lack of unlockable content and modes to get into. It's pretty much a 1-4 player match and an arcade-style mode. Sure, there are a lot of cool characters, but most of them really aren't given enough moves to make them enjoyable to play as for an extended period of time.

The gameplay is actually rather different than other fighting games, you can only die when a a character hits you with their special move, I like this concept as it delivers something different to the fighting game genre.

    To be honest of all of the Playstation's first party games, this is fortunately (for the game) and sadly (for Playstation as a whole) the best.

I mean yeah, but what is this game and why does it exist. Well basically it's a Super Smash Bros. rip-off that forces ten million bad gameplay choices in to make you believe that it's not a Super Smash Bros. rip-off but a mediocre game, but in truth it's both. First of all what is the story here, well it's basically an arcade mode that makes absolutely no sense at all. What do I mean by this well just try to keep a straight face while reading this next part: Humanity is in shambles... the things that once kept it alive are now taking everything from it and yet they keep fighting a never ending war... so fight Parapa the rappa cause it'll save humanity. So yeah the story's not that good so how about the gameplay. Well it does actually try to add some original spins, but they're all horrible. The first and biggest thing they add is that you defeat enemies by hitting them until you charge up your meter and then hit them again with an attack that kills them, and sadly that is bad because most of the good characters have really crapy finishers... and I mean really crapy finishers. Case in point the Big Daddy who should be unbeatable's main one is through out a little sister at an unbelievably awkward angle, and even if you hit a person it only works if it wants to... and most of the time it doesn't. Next is that the stages have hazards (lols innovation) and once they come out they never, ever, EVER LEAVE... EVER, and most of the time they annoy the heck out of you and mess up the whole fight. So with the main way of beating your enemies destroyed and the stages all sucking because of a stupid design choice who are the characters, well they're RIDICULOUSLY UNBALANCED. What I mean by that is that if you choose Heihachi (I don't know how to spell his name) then you will always loose, but if you choose Kratos you will never loose unless your against the greatest player ever. So with all that why did I give it a 5/10 well that's because it's still a Super Smash Bros.esc game and that keeps it from being a 4 or 3/10. So Sony got away with it this time, but I promise if Sony comes out with another one of these and still pretends like it's not a Super Smash Bros. rip-off then I will show it absolutely no mercy and pan it for what it is.… Expand

    You win by getting the most kills.
