    Fat Princess is a gem that's marred by some issues that would otherwise make it the best game on the PSN.

    Fat Princess is a great multiplayer experience that will only get better once people learn to utilise the skills of all of the classes.

    Either single player or online, Fat Princess delivers excellence in every way. The single player is quite short and should be looked at more like a tutorial for the very deep multiplayer aspect. If there were one thing I’d like to see added to Fat Princess it would be split-screen local multiplayer, other than that I can’t complain.

    Innovation has always been one of the cornerstones of the gaming industry, and Titan Studios deserves a round of applause for going back to the basics with this game, adding a nice little twist with the whole princess concept, and bringing us one of the better downloadable games of the year.

    The multiplayer mode is the key, though. Without that, there isn't much here for a single player to enjoy. Playing against bots is okay, and the survival and (quite clever) soccer game are fun diversions, but nothing beats running around a map full of 32 real players.

    Enormous fun, but let down by poor AI and single-player brevity. [Oct 2009, p.68]

    Ultimately, Fat Princess is a victim of its own focused creativity. It may have visual appeal and at first seem to offer a lot but it doesn’t take long to realise proceedings are rather dull; matches last a ridiculously long amount of time. In tiny bursts there’s definitely some appeal. It’s just ever so short. [Issue#183, p.80]

    Simply the best game ever released on the PSN since WipEout HD. The concept is plain and simple and allows for maximal 16 on 16 fun.

I really dig the balance that the developers This game is quite spiffy, fo shizzle worth the fair 15$ you need to shell out to check it out. I really dig the balance that the developers have no doubt taken much care to create: each class is unique and has a valuable purpose in a match. I also like that teamwork is pretty much mandatory, some classes when working together can do a stellar job ripping apart the enemy. My only real issue is that, though it is probably temporary, the matchmaking is positively HORRENDOUS. At some times of the day it is nigh impossible to find a match, meaning that if I want to enjoy a match with people that have intelligence and communication skills greater than a rock's, I'm going to have to wait until the wee hours of the night for a chance. Also, the combat's lack of precision might leave something to desire for some super picky individuals, but the hectic nature of the fights is probably what was intended and works just fine, for me at least. But despite some minor flaws, this is without question one of my favorite PSN titles. You should definitely give it a looksie.… Expand

Eventually (i.e. post balance patches, which they have stated will occur), it'll be a 9. But since I can't assume a game that hasn't yet been made (again, post-patch) I have to give it an 8. Because, it just isn't as *fun* as I thought it would be, nor deep (though I didn't think it would be especially deep). The gameplay is great, and I'm not complaining. But the game just doesn't feel as fun as it could be. It can, at times, be a somewhat frustrating affair. Which is fine, but at the same time it can be a bit simplistic. For example, for the most part character upgrades are fairly irrelevant. It's mostly the base levels are needed, and if the opponent out upgrades you, it's not really all that important. Aside from a few of them (Ice Mage, Main Door, and Catapult) most upgrades are just something you do with money lying around. And obviously objective-based can have frustrations when dealing with players who may, willfully or not, prove to be difficult to completing tasks. And without the ability for the serious players to simply "go rambo" and win, games can become inordinately long and tedious. The "fat" part of the game, while cute conceptually, actually only increases the element of frustration that capture the flag games can often have. Eventually, I hope that the game will be balanced out a bit. Balanced by meaning that games will be shorter and that upgrades will feel more relevant. But at the moment, it's a solid game to kill the time that is on the cusp of brilliance.… Expand
