I actually really like this game. Despite its flaws, I always think that it had big potential and if someone tried to do a sequel with improvements, it would've been a success. But as it is, despite repetitive content for single player, a few weird picks in the roster and other minor problems, it's one of those games that I will regularly return to with my friends. And let's just say that it's a lot of fun in those moments.
Going through this game after years is honestly kinda disappointing. I mean not as disappointing as when I spent money on Madagascar 3 for PS3, but you know what I mean. They did good with the roster. Kratos, Ratchet & Clank, jak & Daxter, Cole/Evil Cole, Nathan Drake, Sly Cooper, Sackboy, PaRappa, and plenty of other classic playstation characters are here. Their moveset definitely shows the developers did their best with this game. Even the different sections are done so well. I also love the different outfits each character has and having their own theme. Enjoyed their own story sections of the game and how the rival scenes are.
The gameplay is something that I wish can be proved upon. For exmaple of how you get kills in he game. I'm glad that this feels different than Smash Bros, but I wish they didn't have to make this feel WAY too different. I'm really not into using supers to be the only way to get kills. The final boss fight in each character's story is incredibly lackluster. Some rival scenes are fine but honestly some of them feel too rushed like they HAVE to fight. Which is honestly kinda disappointing.
I definitely see the potential in this game. though it's just disappointing Though I do say it is very fun I have to say. If you like, make sure to play this game with other people to have a much better experience. I will be playing more of this game on my own to get more costumes and clear a lot of the stories for these characters. Also I appreciate having Kat from Gravity Rush here.

The stages are wild,
That’s it,
That’s the praise.

Un intento de imitar al intachable Smash Bros con los personajes de Playstation pero ni entendieron el tipo de juego que debían hacer ni supieron aprovechar el roaster de personajes del que podían haber hecho gala. Si no le doy media estrella es porque al menos gracias a este juego pude volver a controlar a Jak y Daxter...
I really wish they would give this IP another shot, an amazing concept that failed on delivery. Still very fun though!
Eh.
Great concept with some fun moments sprinkled in here and there, if it had more fun modes, a better roster of characters and maybe even an updated story mode it just would’ve been better. So ultimately, it wasn’t really anything special, it’s still fun though.
6/10

look
Y avait de l'idée, mais il est impossible à compléter parce que niveau online et DLC c'est abusé mêmen comparé à Smash Bros, et bon... Bah ça reste un peu vide. Pourtant la musique, les persos, le doublage, tout marchait, mais il n'est que l'ombre de lui-même maintenant
Madeon (song was called Finale) built a career from this game. It wasn't smash bros, but it was original and so much fun. The characters were unique (some more broken than others... Kratos) and with a low skill ceiling, anyone could play whomever and still have a good time. I have made and lost friends over this game. I would gladly relieve this experience again. Sweet tooth mains, wya
i used to play this with my uncle... good times
i was a toro cat main

An alright smash clone but one you're not really missing out on if you never played it
Goated game
We need more video games with Evil Cole in them
idc what anyone says, this game was for the homies. back when playstation gave a shit about IP that wasn't the last of us and god of war
This game is funny as hell, just don't take it too seriously or treat it like a smash killer.
This that new platform fighter everyone’s talking about right? The one with oddly slow moves, things that don’t string together, and a wasted roster and potential? That one? Cause yeah it’s def all of those things. Such an odd roster that could’ve been so much more. It’s cool in concept but man the choices are so odd. Everyone rags on Evil Cole but he’s an echo so I get it right. But like…Sir Daniel? He hadn’t been relevant in a decade. Fat Princess? REBOOT Dante? Weird. I think it’s fine for the time but still just some odd picks. I have never EVER seen a character like Kratos, however. He shuts the game off at select he is SO SO SO GOOD that it makes everyone else obsolete. I wanted to play around in arcade mode with a bunch of characters but everyone else was so bad in comparison that there was no point. The bot was beating me by 7 on every match on Hard mode. The Stages here are great tho. They mix two series in every one and it is SUPER cool, some of the combos are great like Killzone and fucking Parappa. Honestly, I wish smash would still this idea because it’s so good. Oh and yeah, not stock mode in this game. If with the mechanic of having to kill with super (which is dumb as hell) it makes sense but like. Idk. Odd. This game is a relic. A cool one, but a relic. It’d be interesting to see them revisit this with their new cast of characters such as Astro Bot or the Back of Generic Gun Man #5.
This is kinda cursed.
Honestly, is it a great game? No. It is objectively not, but I still adore this game. I found it at a time when I was young and just experiencing Playstation titles and after having just played through the entire God of War Saga collection on PS3, I mained Kratos. Me and my friends got DOWN on this game, finished all of the career modes just to watch all of the cutscenes, and bought the dlc. The character lineup and matchups are honestly pretty top tier, with Cole McGrath fighting Raiden and Sackboy being paired up against Big Daddy. I always dream internally of a sequel to this title. I have super fond memories of this games opening and it reminds me of my younger days.
The fact that this game got no support, no sequels, no sales, and their servers shut down is a crime. I loved this game and would love to see more.
i might actually have like a 100 hours into this. yes i was a raiden main.
The audacity to put El Donte in the roster instead of the wacky woohoo pizza man.
L'un des Smash Bros like qui pouvait faire une bonne concu mais qui a flop sévère malheureusement (j'ai pas joué mais promis des que je trouve une rom j'y joue)
Ok party game. Better than some other fighting games I can think of.
This game is nearly as good as smash bros... it just needs a better roster, music, stages, modes and fun items.
Não lembro muito bem como esse jogo funcionava online, mas lembro de me divertir bastante jogando o Smash do Playstation. Época boa quando as empresas tentavam criar algo fora de seus padrões, main Kratos e Nathan Drake aqui, valeu?!
man i was so hyped for this game. looks amazing graphically but the overall state of the game was never in a good place
I don't care this is a Smash clone (even though I think what it did was interesting). I don't care that it features DiNO instead of Dante (well, I WAS a little salty about that back then, but I digress). I don't care that it didn't live up to its potential (though, I lament the fact Dart and Abe were cut, along with the titlescreen overhaul, and that Spyro and Crash were never brought in).
This game, despite some flaws, was very much a dream come true. I loved Smash back when I played it at a friend's place (original, Melee, and a little bit of Brawl), and I had always wished for Sony to do the equivalent. I knew they had a great deal of exclusive titles and IPs at the time, and was the only console that could come remotely close to competing with Nintendo's absolutely mammoth roster at the time (I love you Xbox, but I can count your significant exclusives on one hand by 7th gen).
While the roster was much weaker than any of the more modern installments of Smash, it had quite the very interesting cast to pick from, all with contrasting artstyles and playstyles that help give the game quite the differing flavor during matches. I've yet to see a platform fighter utilize characters from FPS/TPS titles (like Killzone, Bioshock, or Dead Space), along side action brawlers like Cole, Kratos, Heihachi. There are just some fun combinations you can get.
What emphasized the topsy-turvy nature were the stage mashups, which I thought were quite interesting and dynamic in of themselves, even without the stage hazards (which can be turned on and off). Even more so when the stage itself slowly evolves over the course of the match from one design to the other, with certain exceptions.
The light character customization in the game was also a neat little bonus, changing colors/costumes, intros, outros, win/lose music, and even taunts, making the characters you play feel that much more unique to you.
Now, again, the game is far from perfect, with some characters being quite overpowered compared to others, the knock-out system being a bit limited, and the roster not reaching the potential it could have. I really do get that. However, I just can't help it. The fact that this game exists at all at the tail end of the PS3 lifecycle was kind of a miracle in of itself.
I don't play it NEARLY as much as I used to back in the day, and the online servers have been shut down for some time now, but once in a while I have a small craving to pop the game in, mess about in Vs. modes with my main (Sir Dan), and putz about in Arcade mode once in a while.
It was a fun, albeit flawed, festival of fighting with a small portion of Playstation's history.
Though, as novel as it is, the final boss in the arcade mode IS kind of crap...

Still pretty cool
It is impossible not to compare it to Smash. Conceptually they have too many points in common to even try to force the "it's a different game" excuse. Unfortunately, it is inferior in almost every way. From the ugly roster, not very fun gimmicks and the overall art design, everything feels half done. Nah, it is not the worst game in the world but it's a mediocre version of a game that, in my opinion, shouldn't even really exist.
