Why you can’t simply kick and punch enemies off ledges is a mystery, the combat is more detailed than Smash Bros with plenty of combos to master, but actually getting the chance to implement them is hard if not impossible due to the fast nature of the fights. It has all the tools like great characters, imaginative levels and some decent weapons, but the way the game is structured isn’t that great. That pretty much sums up Battle Royale, really. The real disappointing has to be the Arcade mode which has little emphasis on story and only tells it through dodgy slideshows and a cutscene near the end, it’s just not engaging at all and feels like a missed opportunity. The super move has 3 levels for it to advance for one that gives the player their own signature finishing move, for instance Raiden will transform all enemies into MGS cardboard boxes and finding the characters in them will kill them. If you are lucky you can clear all 3 other opponents at once. For instance, there are only a few areas where you can knock enemies off the levels, damage isn’t sustained but instead hits made will raise a meter that will activate a super move to get kills once activated, providing you make contact with the target or targets. So how does Battle Royale work? Does it play like Smash Bros? Well it does slightly, but it doesn’t quite follow the same rules.

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale is the first collection of all Sony’s mascots duking it out arcade-style, but can it give Smash Bros a run for its money? Well, the game has all the right ingredients including a roster of impressive characters like Sackboy, Kratos, Nathan Drake, Fat Princess, Raiden, PaRappa the Rapper, Ratchet and Clank and two versions of Cole MacGrath to name a few, additional characters and levels will be added via DLC.
