Okay, let's totally drop the fact that Playstation All-Stars plays so much like Super Smash. I mean I can literally point out all of the similarities but I'm not going to because this blog isn't going to be about that. Instead, I'm going to talk mainly on most of the characters that I've played and actually liked, piss all over the ones I dislikes, and continue to tell you how much I enjoy watching Hades get demolished by two-dimensional creatures with pitchforks singing a cute little tune.
After playing through some of the characters that I actually know, I found Raiden to be my best. He' quick, he's got good range on him, and his third phase is freaking hilarious. Yeah, he's not that strong, however, that makes up for Colonel Radec. He might not be that quick when it comes to attacks, but boy he can sure bring some heavy damage. I also really enjoyed his third phase too.
Raiden's main special is that all of the characters are hidden underneath boxes with several other boxes added too. You must search and attack your enemies as they are crawling around with boxes covering them. Radec's special is more like Solid Snake's special in Brawl where he takes control of the entire screen and start shooting at his enemies. I prefer his more over Raiden's because at least I can get more kills that way rather than just finding everyone. However, with Raiden's special, the enemies aren't going to try to run away from you, they're pretty much immobile, despite that the computer is making them move sluggishly around for you to be skeptical about.
My boyfriend chose Kratos, and Nathan Drake, although Drake isn't that much liked by him as he does with Kratos. With Kratos... goddamnit, they made him cheap in certain ways that pisses me off. I understand that a lot of people like this guy but come on... he's got long range, he's got powerful attacks, his third phase, if you perform this well enough, can give you so many kills... It's unbelievable on what this guy can do and honestly, I feel like he's one of those "broken" characters. I haven't gotten around in playing online yet, do I dare say that there are many Kratos users out there? With Drake's, he's an average at best, but his first phase special is pretty weak. You basically have to time this perfectly well in order to do some heavy damage with it, otherwise, you just wasted it entirely. You also have to make sure it's at the same level as everyone, since the terrain of each level tends to change every so often.
That's the best thing about this game, unlike Super Smash, the background can literally change within a few minutes to something completely new. I mean you're in the Underworld at one moment, Hades is interacting with you guys by stunning you every so often. Then out of nowhere, these one-eyed, two-dimensional creatures with pitchforks comes down and begins attacking Hades, while also attacking you guys as well. These levels change between two games put together, and they really blend in well together.
My only complaint with this game is the constant annoying introductions that these characters have. Yeah, you can obviously skip them whenever you want, but if I have to hear Nathan say that he's not in Shambhala anymore, oh man.... It's funny the first two times, but then... that's when you want to beat the game with him in Arcade mode just to unlock more of his intros so you don't have to hear that again.
Oh, I didn't talk about the characters that I deeply didn't care for. I didn't get a chance to play as Sack Boy, but after watching my boyfriend play as him, I saw that he's nothing but a weak freaking character that can't do that much at all. And it's not like the boy wasn't trying, he really was. Sack Boy proved to be a useless character. Maybe over time, he could prove that he's worth playing as, but as of right now, the only thing I'm interested in with Sack Boy is mainly racing with them. The other character that proved to be really, really worthless was one that I played... Nariko. I'm sorry, as much as I really liked Heavenly Sword, I would have preferred her sister Kai over her. Nariko hardly did anything for me. I get that her first phase special is like Nathan's where you have to time it perfectly to connect, but hers is so slow, her second one isn't that much of an improvement either. I never managed to make it to phase three because that's just how much she sucked. Even with her attacks... Going from Raiden with 12 kills in a matter of three minutes to Nariko getting -4, that's horrible.
I will say, when I get the chance to own this game, I'll totally buy it and sit down and get to know more of who I'm good with, so I can't really go on much further. I mean I only got to play this game twice within a matter of two days and out of those two times, I really felt that Raiden and Radec were honestly the best characters out of the entire game. You guys might think otherwise, however, I found my calling with these guys, I've done the most damage and gotten the most kills with them... I think I found a good game so far.
Now... will I get to see familiar faces with DLC soon, or will we be disappointed?
