    Sad attempt by Sony to clone Nintendo's successful franchises. I have owned Play Station, Play Station 2, and I can't name half the characters by looking at them. Sad part is, a bunch of them aren't even Sony characters in the first place, so what's the point? I wish Sony would focus on making their own IP's instead of trying to copy someone else. Nothing new here whatsover.

    the price and the cross buy features are nice especially with overprice crap like COD vita but after that is just a super smash clone with nothing new, just another prove that sony dont know what to do with the market anymore.

    Plays like a budget title. You don't win by beating your opponent, oh no. You win by pressing random buttons until your special meter builds up and then if you land a special you gain a point. Sounds like a chore, and it is. it's a lifeless game, all the characters have the same fall animations, the menus look like a bargain bin game. They're actually asking full price for this.

Buyers beware. -No Story mode -15 character -all from the PS3 era. Go out and play Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion, it's a much better smash bros clone for the PS3. It also has a larger cast, a story mode, and various multiplayer modes… Expand

    Boring and disappointing.
    I have nothing against it being a Smash Bros. clone, but I find it not very fun.
    I don't mean to sound like a Nintendo fanboy, but Smash is a lot better than this. The characters are strange choices. They have some cool attacks, but who chose the characters? The story mode quickly gets repetitive. It's not a horrible game, it's just not that good. It has    Boring and disappointing.

    It has all the aspects of a Super Smash Bros., but the fact that only super attacks can kill off a character make the game feel less strategic. Still, it is a fun game to play with a few friends on the couch or online.

    The game feels right at home here. While it may not exactly push the PS3 to its limits, seeing it run on the PS Vita's 5 inch OLED screen is still extremely impressive. The camera keeps track of the frantic action perfectly, and although a little impact is lost the fidelity of the whole package makes up for it. [January 2013, p77]

    With the PS3 version being far superior, the Vita version is only for those who do not own their home console brother as on the Vita it's fun but not great due to the frustration factor.
