I was in games last night that were going on for close to 30 minutes. It was a stressor that I could see hindering the game because taking the time to figure out you can't win alone and then actually winning can be a healthy chunk of change. Eventually, people got their acts together and would move in units, but not many had mics and you needed to let people fail before they figured out they needed to work together. Yesterday afternoon, that wasn't happening - at least not at first. Accomplishing it means your team of 16 needs to work together. This fills a meter and if you fill it all the way, your team wins. See, winning a game of Rescue the Princess means you have to march from your base to the opponents base, grab your princess, get her back to your base, get her on the throne and keep her there while the other team's princess is in your dungeon. When I first jumped on yesterday, I thought that all of my fears for the game were coming true as players ran about doing whatever they wanted. Still, the root of what will keep me glued to my TV this weekend is the online multiplayer. This title exudes character with its colorful, food-themed levels (Black Forest, Hot Sauce, Tropical Punch, etc.) there are more modes than I thought there'd be (Rescue the Princess, Snatch 'n Grab, Team Deathmatch, and Invasion) and there's a little soccer mini-game for solo players where you can dismember the competition. With a number of multiplayer battles under my belt, the single-player story polished off and a bunch of beards earned, I can tell you that I'm going to score Fat Princess highly on Monday barring any kind of server meltdown this weekend. The compromise - heading into the free time-filled weekend - is that I'm set to give you my first impressions of the retail release right here so you can get an idea if you want to pick it up this weekend, and on Monday, I'll follow up with an official, thorough IGN review. The mark of the devil! Now, because the title's multiplayer-based, I wasn't able to get it early, get the full experience, and get you a review today. If you're just joining us, Fat Princess is a 32-player online madhouse packing six character classes, Animal Crossing-like visuals, buckets of blood, and the harder-than-it-sounds goal of rescuing your princess from the opponent's castle. Yes, if you held back on buying the $15 game last night waiting for my impressions today, you can rest easy: Fat Princess is good.
