Frantic and fun, Fat Princess pits two hordes of players against each other in comic medieval battle royale. Your goal is to rescue your beloved princess from the enemy dungeon. There’s a catch though: your adversary has been stuffing her with food to fatten her up and it’s going to take most of your army working together to carry her back across the battlefield.

You can switch between five different character classes literally at the drop of a hat: the fearless Warrior, the steadfast Archer, the mystical Mage, the tireless Worker, and the deadly Priest. In order to triumph, players must combine their skills and work together. The name of the game is cooperation, whether it’s helping another player drag a log back to your castle, manning a battering ram to smash through the enemy’s front gate, or building a human pyramid to scramble over the walls.

Key Features

* Casual Single & Multiplayer Online/Offline Action – Cooperate with your team of medieval soldiers (up to 16 players on each side) to overthrow the opponent’s army, plunder their castle and save the princess
* 5 Character Classes – Change your avatar's character anytime by swapping hats: Worker, Warrior, Archer, Mage and Priest
* 10 Unique Maps – There will be 10 maps total, shared across single & multiplayer modes
* Experience intense frantic gameplay across diverse, charming and challenging environments
* Resources & Upgrades – Work together to collect resources to upgrade your primitive weapons and basic castle defenses into superior armaments and impenetrable fortifications
* Unique Game Modes – Select from several various game types: Rescue the Princess, Thwart the Invasion, and Medieval Games
* 32-player Online Skirmish – Jump in and join as many as 32 players online to wreak havoc on the battlefield and carry your stout princess back home during the conflict

Fat Princess isn't just good, it's really good. It's by far the best PlayStation Network game I've played since PixelJunk Monsters, it's the best videogame I've played in quite sometime, and I'm pretty sure it's going to end up getting my vote for the best game at E3.

Yeah, I'm surprised too.

If you're even aware of Fat Princess, it's probably just that quick snippet we saw during Sony's E3 press conference this morning, and that doesn't even begin to do the title from Darkstar and Sony justice. The result of some screwed up cloning project involving Animal Crossing, Strawberry Shortcake, and Warhawk; Fat Princess puts you on a team of eight to 32 cute-as-pie cartoony male and female characters; lets you choose from eight to ten dessert-themed levels such as Coco Cliffs and Black Forest, and proceeds to place you in some of the bloodiest battles seen on this platform.

I'm serious.

Yeah the reaction to this from the press has been very positive for something I initially overlooked. Don't expect it any time soon though, from an article I read on it. It's weird how Sony have finally got me interested in PSN titles when I originally wanted them to stop pushing them on me.

I can't help but wonder if this game was made by the same people who are always flooding DeviantArt with pictures of grotesquely fattened-up anime and game women...

I was just thinking that although this game looks really freaking fun. I'm digging the MGS nods too.

I'm into weird games, and if there's any game that'll convince me to buy a PS3, it's this one.

Some of my favorite games from the previous generation include Kingdom Hearts, Parappa The Rapper 2, Okami, and Katamari Damacy. The first game I bought for the DS was Kirby Squeak Squad.

You'd be surprised what would sell a system for me.
