    No se la gente porque lo odia tanto, a mi me encanta y me encanto, ojala incluso tuviera una secuela, no importa sea copia, Sony necesita un juego de este tipo.

    PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale could have been much better but its lack of content and many problems harm it, although it is entertaining enough to be a good game

In the end, this game is an absolute and super fun experience with friends and online. Cant even describe how much I had playing with friends. Definitely this game needs another chance for a sequel considering where PlayStation is now. The roster and gameplay can be refined and a lot better.… Expand

    Es divertido, personajes clásicos de las consolas PlayStation aunque faltan grandes como Crash o Spyro, tiene varios que son buenos y recomiendo jugarlo con amigos porque sino es aburrido como cualquier juego de peleas, recomendable mas que todo a niños

    This is an amazing game! At first, it may look like a Smash Brothers, but if you really play it, and see what it is trying to do, I guarantee that you will love it. The gameplay is fast and frantic. The AP Meter is an amazing concept. The game is pretty balanced for the most part and overall, i would definitely recommend this game for anyone

    This game is fun, but it could've been better. There is a lot to do in the game with a great cast of characters. Though the lack of Crash and Spyro brings it down a tad. Not to mention it can get slightly repetitive, but overall the gameplay is fun and the stages are pretty cool for the most part. If you have a PS3, but want to play Smash Bros, this is a decent alternative.

    It's fun, but if you can get angry easily, then don't play this game. Especially online, so many people cheat it takes the fun away.... But it has a good selection of characters even though they could've added some more...... But overall it's a fun game.

    This game is amazing sure it has flaws but at least try it Online mode is fun its cool for multiplayer when you have friends dont bash a game if you havent played it. Did we ever bash Zelda or Mario Kart like this? What ever happened to just getting a game and playing without judging it Ps All Stars is an amazing game and it deserves better treatment and deserves a sequel

    Sort of like Sony's answer to Smash Bros. Just like that series it takes various mascots from the different series that the company has put out and let's you fight them. It's also filled with references to the company's proud history. The strength here is how it manages to make each character feel different from one another while still capturing what makes them, well, them. It's aSort of like Sony's answer to Smash Bros.

It's a remarkably balanced fighter that any Sony fan should check out.

    It's got it's differences from Smash Bros. The focus is building up meters that allow super attacks to beat enemies. There are also a tone of unlockables. I just wish they were more interesting. Mostly they're just backfgrounds and icons for your in-game customizable emblems. The costumes and "minions" are pretty cool though. There's a great selection of characters to choose from.

    This is something I would like to become a series for Sony. What's here is already great, but you can totally see how they can expand on it in the same way Nintendo keeps expanding their Smash Bros. series. New entries with different types of unlockables, stages, and fighters from more of Sony's catalog of games would be awesome. Especially considering how great the game already is.

    As it stands it's a great fighter. If Sony considers making this a franchise then they could have a cool alternative to Nintendo's excellent series. This is a great start to what could be a great series. I just want to see more of it. My total score for it is a 8.7/10.    … Expand

    PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royal is a fun game for PlayStation gamers. While it is not perfect, the gameplay is fun and competitive. The character selection is decent, even though it is missing a few necessities. That issue aside, this is a great game.

    This is definitely one of the best games on the PS3.

Some character have super that aren't good, but when you kill someone with let says Jak, Sackboy, or others is so satisfying. This game is like Super Bros., but in reverse. Instead pushing them out, you straight up kill them. There are things you could unlock like outros, intros, taunts, a costume per person, icons, background picture, victory music, maybe something else if I remember. Stages are every unique. Instead having one stage, for example Hades, you get two stages in one, like Hades being primary to Patapon being secondary. The music are remix of the stage you're playing , but in the menus and the opening theme is original. I hope there is possible sequel to improve this because this game does let room for improvements. I said get it. Should be around $29.99-$39.99 in PSN. Getting it used or cheaper should be worth it. Plus if get the PS3 or PSVITA ,or vise versa, you get the other version free. So you this only buy this once and getting PSVITA shouldn't be a risk. So getting the 9 score seem logical. Is not best game ever. When I play with friends or family or by myself we always have fun with it.… Expand

    It combines characters, environments and ideas into a tight package that manages to keep you entertained. PlayStation All-Stars is its own game, and it even happens to do some things better than what inspired it. You and your friends will have blast with this game especially as a party game.

    Along with the roster that most fans didn't request for, they managed to succeed a spectacular gameplay with each character's different fighting styles. They could've put a bit more effort on stages, but overall the animations around them were pretty enjoyable. The game is not as good as Smash Bros. but I think it's a good enough crossover for Sony.

    It adds that element of strategizing, especially in online play, where a player can knock out all three of their opponents in fell swoop. Plus, much to my amazement, a character I had no experience using won me my first online match – thank you, Jak.
