a well-meaning but ultimately underwhelming attempt at giving sony a super smash brothers equivalent. Unlike a lot of other criticisms towards the game, I think that the roster isn't exactly the worst. Yeah, theres no crash, spyro, solid snake, or cloud, but they got a lot of other interesting games represented by both characters and stages, which is honestly really cool in the same way getting an unknown thing in smash is. You get to learn a lil bit more about sonys various IPs that you might not have otherwise known, I guess. Gameplaywise though this is definitely not smash brothers. You can only score points and defeat players by using super moves which makes most of the actual fighting kinda feel like irrelevant filler...? The game also lacks the special level of polish and attention to detail that nintendo puts in smash as well, which just makes the overall experience underwhelming. However, I'd still say this is worth at least a curious play, since especially with modern sony being the party poopers that hate fun with the playstations legacy of IPs, we ain't seeing most of the first-party characters in this game ever comin back. It's kinda like nintendo land in like getting that last little table scrap of content for neglected IPs that I enjoy. I'm glad this game came out when it did because if they did this concept again now it'd have the most uninspired roster known to man, mark my words.
