Default Fat Princess=Sweet

Played the demo on PS3 the other day and liked it so much that I bought the full game. It is addicting.
What do you guys think about the game?

they need to fix the game mechanics. Everyone always ends up at one of the chokepoints and it degrades into a bloody mess.

My little sister is hooked on the game. She loves it and plays it for hours on end. And no, no pics.

Have they fixed the mechainics with a patch? No one side ever wins every game ends up being a stalemate.

I bought it and went straight to the instructions to figure out how to play, and I was kind of overwhelmed by the... length of the instructions. And it didn't strike me as being presented well. I felt like I needed a tutorial level or something to walk me through it.

I started a single player game and stuck with the archer because I had read the instructions for him. It seemed fun, but it didn't seem to be going anywhere. I tried on some other hats and figured out some of the basic controls, but after a while it was clear that no one was going to win so I quit. Haven't gone back to it yet, though it's a game that I think I'd like once I learn it.

It seems like a game that would benefit from a coordinated effort, which is hard to do on PSN where so many people don't have headsets.

Lol yea, those instructions are presented awfully.

That said, I tried the demo, and I've been wanting to buy Fat Princess for a while, but now I'm glad I didn't. The game just seems to be a general clusterfuck at certain points. I really don't have a clue what is going on or why it's going (if that makes any sense).

Seems like an interesting idea, but I got way too many other games to play right now.

The instructions do suck. But I don't consider myself a gamer and I was able to figure things out quickly. I downloaded a patch for the game and I have never been in a game that became a stalemate.
I wish PSN had more people with headsets. I had a few games where two or three people had a headset and it was a huge advantage. They would throw a few command outs and we destroy the team.
My thoughts are that it is a fun game to play cheap before the Modern Warfare comes out.
