Digimon All-Star Rumble 

 

When I heard about Digimon All-Star Rumble I immediately thought it was going to be like Super Smash Bros. I thought families who do not own a 3DS or Wii U could have the Smash experience on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. That was not all. They could do so with Digimon.

This is brilliant of Prope, Ltd, and Bandai Namco Games right? The one problem is Digimon All-Star Rumble is not exactly a Super Smash Bros clone. It has 3D fighting in ten different battle arenas. There are twelve digimon to unlock and fight with. There are even DigiCards to enhance your favorite Digimon.

There is a story mode, battle mode, and training mode in Digimon All-Star Rumble. In story mode we take a Digimon through these small 3D levels with a boss battle at the end. Once you beat that boss they are unlockable in the battle mode. Story mode is for one player at a time.

The battle mode of Digimon All-Star Rumble is where up to four family members to can battle in a variety of different set of rules. Things like a bomb over your head that keeps you close to your opponent. What happens when you run away? Your bomb builds up its charge, and blows your character up. Training allows players the ability to learn the various attacks of the different Digimon.

Digimon All-Star Rumble allows players to build up a bar that when filled allows them to Digievolve into a more powerful form. That more powerful form does extra damage points. This transformation is a short lived experience, so players must make the best use of it.

The battling in Digimon All-Star Rumble can be a bit confusing at first. It is easy to get turned around, start attacking and miss. I also found that you must block before your opponent starts their combination of attacks. Once they get that series going you have to just take it. Long range attacks are limited thanks to the SP bar.

There are a few issues families will have with Digimon All-Star Rumble. The first is the increases in aggression thanks to the violence. The next major issue families will have is the religious teaching of evolution being included in this home console video game. The positive side to Digimon All-Star Rumble is families can spend time together competing against one another with Digimon.
