==Gameplay== The gameplay is conceptually similar to the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, in which up to four players can battle each other using characters from various Sony franchises such as ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'', ''[[PaRappa the Rapper]]'' and ''[[Sly Cooper series|Sly Cooper]]'', as well as third-party franchises like ''[[BioShock (series)|BioShock]]''. There are, however, differences in how opponents are defeated. During the game, players damage other players to receive orbs that build up a power meter at the bottom of the screen (These orbs can also be found on the stage over the course of the match). Earning enough power allows players to use one of three levels of super moves which can be used to defeat opponents and earn points. The game will feature cross-platform play between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions.<ref name=Vita>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gamesradar.com/playstation-all-star-battle-royale-adds-xxxxx-and-xxxxxxx-roster-joins-vita/ |title=PlayStation All-Star Battle Royale adds ... |publisher=GamesRadar |date=2012-06-04 |accessdate=2012-06-08}}</ref> The game features a traditional single-player arcade mode, in which players must defeat several randomly-selected opponents, followed by a character-specific rival battle and, ultimately, a battle against the game's main antagonist and [[Boss]], [[Polygon Man]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Moriarty|first=Colin|title=Polygon Man: PlayStation All-Starsβ Final Boss|url=http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/11/08/polygon-man-playstation-all-stars-final-boss|publisher=IGN}}</ref> Multiplayer modes include time-based matches, where players compete to achieve the most kills within a time limit, stock based matches, where players attempt to be the last one standing, and kill-limit matches, where players compete to be the first to reach a certain number of kills. The game also features a single-player challenge mode, in which players attempt to complete specific objectives. ===Stages and items=== Along with the host of varying playable characters, ''All-Stars'' also comes with a range of items and levels influenced by various PlayStation franchises. The game features fourteen different arenas for battle, with elements in each one that can damage characters and cause them to lose AP. Each stage is based on a combination of two games, such as "Sandover Village" (based on ''[[Jak and Daxter (series)|Jak and Daxter]]'' and ''[[Hot Shots Golf]]''), "Dreamscape" (based on ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]'' and ''[[Buzz!]]''), "Stowaways" (based on ''[[Uncharted (Series)|Uncharted]]'' and ''[[BioShock Infinite]]'') and "Hades" (based on ''God of War'' and ''[[Patapon]]'').<ref>{{cite web|author=Posted: Apr 27, 2012 |url=http://www.gametrailers.com/video/hit-points-playstation-all-stars/729627 |title=PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Video Game, Hit Points HD |publisher=GameTrailers.com |date=2012-04-27 |accessdate=2012-05-05}}</ref> In addition, there are several item pick-ups that can be utilized by players, such as the Hedgehog Grenade from ''[[Resistance (series)|Resistance]]'', the Gravity Shield from ''[[Wipeout (series)|Wipeout]]'' and the Razor Claws from ''[[Ratchet & Clank]]''. These items can be used to augment a player or do damage to an opponent.
