OMG! Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake [PSP]

I got my hands on Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake [FP for short] for the PSP about a week ago and I was actually surprised to find a fun, accessible yet challenging game to play with. The brightly colored cartoon characters move fluidly in game & the control scheme is simple and intuitive [a help page is available to explain the controls & there are in game prompts as well]  makes it a breeze to dive in and get into the action. There are two modes of play available, one being the single player campaign [called Legend of The Fat Princess] and the other a customizable multiplayer [co-op/skirmish] mode. With 6 character classes to choose from [villager, warrior, worker, ranger, priest & mage] all with their own specialties, there are many ways to use them to complete the missions [there are magical items & siege weapons to help you as well].

The single player campaign contains 16 chapters [with a funny storyline I might add] which introduces the characters and background story of FP. As I mentioned before, for the first few missions you are familiarized with the basic controls and commands that is used throughout the game, not to mention the various gameplay modes as well. The concept of the missions itself plays very much like capture-the-flag [or variants of it] such as kidnapping the enemy princess, rescuing your princess, demolishing the enemy throne or [my favorite] team annihilation. Once you get the hang of the mission types, you'll have no problems playing in multiplayer since it's actually the same as the campaign missions, only now you have the option to select what type of game and what maps to play in. There are three levels of difficulty [easy, normal & hard] which makes the A.I [bots] tricky at times but it is not impossible to win. You may get frustrated by the bots that are on your team as they tend to leave the mission to you as the human player.

Multiplayer games are a breeze to setup [with up to 8 players] and the action is fast and nonstop [I can guarantee a good laugh as well] added in are two special game modes [soccer & grim reaper] which means you can play soccer [with bloody hack and slash action] and grim reaper [which grants the player that is able to claim the reaper helmet powers to slay their opponents to collect a set amount of souls to win]. Compared to the campaign, the multiplayer mode is where the fun lies for FP.


Here is the rundown of FP

The Good;

• Combat is fast, exciting, and bloody  
• Chicken potions and giant bombs are loads of fun  
• Planning and executing attacks is satisfying
• Multiple game modes available for multiplayer.

The Bad;

• Singleplayer matches may take too long to finish
• A.I are incompetent 
• Though fun, multiplayer is limited to 8 human players
• No voice chat to those playing over PSN

Motorcycle VS Cars

Yes... motorcycles versus other bigger vehicles. I think every car owner has experienced this situation. Just this morning on my way to work, I almost ram into a motorcyclist...in fact, I almost grazed him as I had intended to do :). I was doing 80 km/h on the fast lane of a 3 lane highway, the roads is clear and there are many motorcyclists on the left lane. I noticed among them, one began to switch lanes from the left lane right into the lane I was in and it seemed that he didn't even bother to look back or use his side-view mirror to see if it was clear.

As for me, I got this feeling that I wanted to teach this fella a lesson. So I increased my acceleration and went pass him as he was coming into my lane, the distance between us was just barely a foot. And as I have predicted, he honked at me but I really don't care much for it in fact, I kinda like it :). Why? of course as I already said earlier, to teach them a lesson so they can get it into their thick heads that they're not the king of the road. Why do I have to be on constant lookout and be aware for their safety, if they themselves ignore it, and hoping that other road users to be on lookout for them?? I also want to enjoy the pleasure of driving without constantly worrying for others.

What say You?
