![]() All of these classes are activated by having your character pick up their respective hat with the circle button. The priest heals, and the worker gathers resources and builds. The warrior can take a lot of hits and deal strong melee damage. There is the mage, who can light people on fire. You have the choice of five different classes (seven if you include the villager you start out as and the chicken you can be turned into). Holding these will slowly deplete points from the opposing team and the first kingdom to zero points loses.įat Princess is a class driven game. Finally, Invasion mode tasks you with capturing checkpoints that are on each map. The first team to capture the opposing princess three times wins in this game mode. ![]() Snatch ‘N Grab is supposed to mimic the part of the story when the kingdoms first captured the opposing team's princess. You can also feed cake to the princess you're holding captive in your castle, which makes her more difficult to carry. Basically, the goal is to have both of the princesses in your castle for a certain amount of time in order to win. ![]() ![]() Rescue the Princess is based on the two kingdoms trying to take back their princess from the opposing kingdom, while at the same time keeping the other princess captive. In Deathmatch you take a point from the opposing team each time you kill one of their members and the first team to zero points loses. There is also a Soccer match, but that is more of a fun aside than a full game mode. The four match types are: Deathmatch, Rescue the Princess, Snatch ‘N Grab, and Invasion. The objective is determined by the match type you're playing. You are put onto a symmetrical map, with the red kingdom on one side and the blue kingdom on another, and are tasked with a certain objective. Matches in Fat Princess are deceptively simple. If you are looking for a good single player game we suggest you look elsewhere on PSN, because this game is all about the multiplayer. And finally there is a 'Gladiate' mode, which pits you against wave after wave of enemies in order to hone your skills with each of the classes. You also have the option of 'Messing about' which lets you make a standard skirmish match with yourself and the computer AI. This doesn’t really affect the game you will be playing much after listening to the story though, as they are all simply the standard match types you play in multiplayer. Each chapter begins by retelling a portion of the story of the two kingdoms. These serve as a story driven tutorial more than anything else. The single player options include a short campaign of six matches (each of which typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete) with computer opponents as well as computer teammates that back you up. When you turn Fat Princess on you are given the choice to either 'Play with yourself' or 'Play with others'. Consuming them has made them overweight - hence the name 'Fat Princess'. ![]() The other important aspect of the story is that the kingdoms have discovered magic cakes that grow out of the ground in the forest and which each of the princesses have become addicted to. So you have two symmetrical kingdoms taking symmetrical actions, all of which ends in each kingdom holding captive the daughter of the rival king. An obvious problem arises in this plan because the blue king has come up with the same idea. To keep the prince from picking the blue princess he sends his best men to kidnap her and bring her to the red castle until the prince has chosen his daughter by default. The red king finds out that the prince will soon be arriving to meet and pick which of the princesses he will join in marital bliss and hatches a devious plan. Two kingdoms (one red and one blue) each have a princess who is vying for the affection of a prince. We're happy to report that Fat Princess is definitely deserving of all of the 'unwanted' attention, but can it dethrone Flower and Wipeout HD to become the best the PSN has to offer? Controversy is not all bad though, and is often used by gaming companies to garner attention for their titles. When you get down to it the only stereotype Fat Princess has about overweight people is that they are more difficult to carry, which is just a fact of life. Fat Princess has garnered some hate for its use of overweight royalty, which seems unwarranted to us. Controversy and gaming seem to be inextricably linked in today’s society, but there are some games that you would never imagine to cause a ruckus. ![]()
