PlayStation All Stars is not a Smash Bros. clone

while the aesthetics are very very similar the game is definitely not just a different skin for ssb, it plays pretty differently in my opinion

and I like how even the 6 beta chars offer a lot of variety in how you have to play to be successful, hopefully the others are similarly fleshed out and not copies of each other


maybe they should have used Mortal Kombats aesthetic's though and gear the game towards an M/AO rating - the "supers" could be like the fatalities (that would definitely catch a lot of attention, sth. the game seems to lack right now) and so on, but I guess the 3rd parties (and some internal devs) wouldn't want their chars to be used in such a way ;)

That would only be fitting for a few characters, besides they are targeting all audiences. A mature rating would cut down sales. I think this game is going to do reallly well. It is the biggest Sony title this holiday season, it is a long awaited title with loads of controversy, and so far the game plays so well that the final product is going to blossom into a competitive hit on the platform. I really want to see this become the new party game with tournaments and a strong following.
