Fat Princess FINALLY Hitting PSN
Now you can have your cake and feed it too!
Published: July 28, 2009
OK, let me start by making something clear here. I was in the Fat Princess Beta (thanks to taking an awful picture of me shoveling cake in my mouth) a few months ago, and I spent quite a bit of time running around trying to swipe the other teams often not too obese woman while protecting my own. Or at least I tried to. In reality, I spent almost all my time tied up in a never-ending engagement in the middle of the map. That was when I could find a game with humans. Which was rare.
That being said, Titan Studios did an amazing job of collecting feedback and making changes during the beta, and has promised to make lots more in the interim, so don't let my initial impression deter you. I was also stuck with one game mode and one map, so in reality I have hardly seen anything. And while the gameplay had issues, there were so may cool and fun elements to play with that I can easily see this game being a huge hit. I suppose what I am trying to say is that when this hits PSN THIS THURSDAY for a mere 15 bucks ($14.99 actually!) across every region (except Japan, sorry!) you should run right out and buy it, because I can guarantee this will be more fun the more humans you pile into the game, because the bots are just too damn good.
For those that don't know, Fat Princess is essentially a capture the flag game, where the flag is the princess and you make your own princess fatter by feeding her cake, making it more difficult for her to get carried off. Featuring 5 very different classes, capture points, resource collection, and cutesy graphics, there is a lot of action and gameplay wrapped into a very cute and addictive game.
So put on your archery cap (or priest cap, or mage cap, or worker cap... you'll know what I mean when you get the game) and settle down for some cake feeding, fireball hurling, tree chopping fun in just two days time... and look for me online because I will be ready!
