Video games have let you perform illegal acts for years, but for some reason this feels ever so slightly more sinister – that is until she starts screaming for more cake and you have your head caved in by a small goblin-like man wearing a pointy hat.ĭespite this strange core mechanic, Fat Princess is actually a fairly traditional multiplayer game at heart. What you’ve just done is detail a game in which you hold a young woman against her will and feed her cake until she’s so morbidly obese she wouldn’t look out of place in her own Channel FIVE documentary. Try to describe Fat Princess to someone who doesn’t play video games every day of their life and you’ll be met with a puzzled, slightly shocked expression. On the PSP, this large-scale multiplayer combat has been scaled down somewhat, with only eight real players able to play together online (joined by AI warriors), but with some extra game modes and an expanded single-player campaign, this is a solid portable version of the PS3 experience. Teams of 16 players competed against each other in isometric 3D battles across eight maps, capturing the opposition’s princess, protecting the princess you’ve already captured, killing enemies in team deathmatch or taking control points. Fat Princess was an odd little game for the PS3.
