I dont think the reviewers will be as generous/lenient after seeing how well P3P performed.
But in my opinion it deserved it.

Persona 4 Golden has the highest metacritic score of any game released this year on any platform.
Truly the game of the year.

Kind of funny seeing the comments on the IGN article.
People disappointed in the game getting an 8.
Crazy.

Good reviews so far.

Sounds like a fun diversion.

But reviews don't matter if you love (or hate) a game.
And that is why, it's getting crazier each time. In 5 years 9/10 will mean a bad game.

Really, IGN gave it an 8? I was honestly expecting a 10 from them. They've been hyping this game beyond belief. At one point they were uploading three All-Stars videos every day to their Youtube channel, and they would talk about the game on all of their shows (Daily Fix, Up at noon, Gamescoop and so forth).
Personally I didn't like it much when I tried the beta. I'll probably buy it when it's cheap.
EDIT: Holy shit I just F5'ed Youtube. IGN just uploaded 20 Playstation All-Stars videos. They're obsessed with this game O_O

I was expecting a 9 from them from how they worded the review. Just by looking at the verdict alone made me think that.
8/10 is still good.
And I still prefer the playstyle of this over brawl.
I cant give a review on this yet, but I expect these reviews are basing this more along the lines of the content. It should have been more.

They did a QL of the beta, this is a QL of the final game.

Was expecting it to be unfairly panned tbh, so I'm pretty happy with 8s, and 7s aren't enough to put me off. Preorder stands.

Elsewhere, Sony's in-house creations fill in the blanks, including the iconic Rodney Greenblat-designed PaRappa the Rapper and Sony's Japanese mascot Toro Inoue (from the Together Everywhere! series). These are joined by Sackboy, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ape Escape's Spike and MediEvil's Sir Daniel Fortescue. The strongest characters tend to be the more cartoonish creations, as they allow for the most outrageous, fantastical moves; more lifelike options such as Nathan Drake (Uncharted), Emmet Garves[sic] (Starhawk) and Cole MacGrath (in both his good and evil incarnations from inFamous) fall somewhat flat..
Am I missing something here? Has any Emmett footage been shown?

My buddy is begging me to pick up thig game since he had so much fun with it last night... I'm not sold yet, but those are pretty positive reviews so far. I may just buy it to play the VITA version.
I think there is enough stuff in their they are just not doing enough with it. I have to read a few score, but I am sure they will knock the arcade mode. Which I think is fine for a game like Street fighter but let's be honest here, Smash Bros set a different standard.

Day One Review Justified =D
I was still getting it regardless of reviews but it's good to see the sentiment of it not being Smash is great.

Sounds decent.
As ever with a Sony release am only surprised its out.
Eurogamer are a bit negative just because they don't think Sony have the background for this kind of game; got to wonder if it'd do better as just a fighting game with a range of fun characters (hell I suspect it might sell better).
IGN's:
I hate this sort of fanboyism. All Stars is celebrating two decades of Sony with the last 6 years?
Is there any Vita characters even on there?
As someone who loved Sony's systems before PS3; its not a celebration of two decades. Its an end of a generation party.
Nothing wrong with that; but lets not play that old 'Sony <3 special fans' card. Its always been pathetic; and I don't know why so many are happy to suck up to it. The two-decade legacy is heavily third party until this gen; this is a new Sony in a multiplat world.
Hope people enjoy the game.
Maybe if Sony wins me over with PS4 (they just have to meet MS but with no Live charge basically); I'll see you guys for the party at the end of that gen.
EDIT: At OP; maybe differentiate between PS3/Vita.

Complaining that they didn't just do a straight copy of Smash?
I'd gamble that, if they had, they would have been panned for not adding any of their own flavour to the game.

No, he hasn't.
Not sure how you work that out when there are loads of PS1/2 characters.
