Gamer Limit

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

Meristation

Quotation forthcoming.

GamePro

One of the most original downloadable games to date. The amount of strategy that exists is plentiful and there is more than enough content included to justify the purchase.

IGN

Figuring out why the bombs of a worker are awesome, lighting your sword on fire, and knocking open your castle's front door just long enough to shoot someone in the face are great experiences.

TheSixthAxis

Fat Princess offers some of the most addictive and rewarding gameplay in recent times and can be a fantastic joy to play with friends online. Over time, it wouldn’t be at all surprising for Fat Princess to get better and better as players settle down into their roles and really engage with the teamwork – much like has happened in Killzone 2’s multiplayer.

90

Destructoid

Fat Princess' charm and sense of humor prevails throughout, and it's backed up by a completely honest, simple, and thoroughly fun war game that contains not one pretentious bone in its body.

WonderwallWeb

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

Cheat Code Central

It's easy to see the craftsmanship that has been poured into this offering from its presentation to its stellar gameplay. The only problem we found that keeps this title back from gaming nirvana is its suspect connections - it was often impossible to play against others online.

85

PSX Extreme

Fat Princess is both charming and amusing but it’s also nicely designed and capable of holding a player’s interest due to the diversity and variety found within.

Play.tm

Any game starring fat royalty with a penchant for baked treats and a credit sequence set to Sir Mixalot's 'Baby Got Back' is instantly destined for greatness anyway. So why not have your cake and eat it?

85

Extreme Gamer

Fat Princess is more filling then the sweet magical icing that crowns the princess's favorite meal. Titian Studios has produced a fun, quick-paced strategy game that takes the classic formula of capture-the-flag and turns it into a violent, cheery pool of controlled chaos.

GameSpy

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.

75

GameSpot

This silly twist on capture-the-flag is as funny as it is strategic, but balance issues keep it from greatness.

Gameplanet

Fat Princess is hugely entertaining, however communication problems may prevent the game from retaining a large fanbase.

70

Computer and Video Games

Potentially brilliant multiplayer romp hindered by PSN's lack of communication. Bundled headsets please, Sony.

Eurogamer Spain

Fat Princess is like a cake with few layers: it's great when played with friends, and it's quite delicious, but it lacks some flavour and it will leave us a bit hungry.

65

Play UK

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.

Teletext GameCentral

The princess may have bitten off more than she can chew with her clever but confused multiplayer melees.

Eurogamer

Much like the cakes that the princesses so greedily scoff down, the game is delicious at first, an overwhelming confection of bright colours and varied flavours, but the sugar rush wears off much too quickly, leaving you bloated and exhausted.

60

VideoGamer

There's only so much the cute presentation can gloss over, meaning some serious changes will need to be made if the game is going to have any real legs.

Thank you eurogamer

Eurogamer, as always, suck.

PS3 bias!



                            

I agree this is a good game.



I might buy it if they fix the online issues.



Around the Network

Not bad at all.



4 ≈ One

Aggregated scores are not reliable. Because bias scores can affect the overall score of a game.



As ever (and I'm not talking about bias any particular way, for PS3 or 360) I remain amazed that review scores can have such a huge spread.

From 60 to 93? That's a huge range of views. When I see this I can't help feeling the top reviews are probably biased towards the title/console, the bottom just trying to make a point or be different, and the more middle range reviews probably a better indicator of the game.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

the developers are taking far to long with that patch!! ive only played 3 matches! i would have brought the back if it wasn't a download... its a joke



The online needs a fixing but after that, this game is pure deliciousness. I recommend you take a slice.

BTW, what's with Eurogamer? I never see anything but hate from them.
