Buy Power Stone 2

Customer Ratings:

Four stars is pretty good when I rate a video game, but low and behold, this game is great. This series started off with the silent Power Stone which was a free roaming fighting game with interactive boards. This aint' no classical way to fight like 2D games like Street Fighter or Marvel vs. Capcom, this is the first of its kind, and its pretty [darn] good.

Everything I hated about Power Stone has been fixed and Iam pleased to say they did a bang up job. To start with the characters would be silly since the selection is sparse and is not relevant to the whole gaming experiance. This game soley relies on using your environment to your advantage. For example, there is a gun turret on the boat, to rid of your enemies best, hop on the turret and blast them out of the water. Fun and a great alternative to fighting. In the game, Capcom added a new feature wich allowed you to buy wepons and items in the Item Shop, just like Marvel vs. Capcom with Secret Factor. The levals have been touched up with a new twist, the environments change. Yes, hard to believe but if your boat is off course, there is a possibility that it can hit and iceberg and the boat could sink and you would be forced to climb onto the iceberg. This all happens and you are still fighting.

This sequal has new characters, new [changing] environments, four-player mayhem, and new wepons and items that will make this a worthy game to buy for fans of the original. For those of you who have never tried the orginal, give it a whirl. I have two knocks on this game, one is no network play and two is its confusing with four players. These knocks are minor and so small, it dosent affect the game. Check it out, this is one not to pass up.

Say what you will about Capcom's sequal making past (Look! Street Fighter 2 Alpha Plus Omega Edition 16 Squared!), they got just about everything right with Power Stone 2.

Taking a cue from the possibly over-hyped Dead or Alive 2, Power Stone 2 brings level-interactivity in a fighting game to new heights. Using a 3/4 perspective view, one can do more than strafe around an enemy or hop over them. One can do A LOT more. Such as what, you ask? Well, how about hopping into gun turrets on submarines, before they submerge, and blasting away? Or how about uprooting a pole from the ground and making a home run with the nearest enemy? Anyway, a whole new level of interactivity.

Power Stone 2 also has something for the unlocking crowd out therean item buying and mixing mode. By playing through the game in "adventure" mode, you accumulate items, which can be then sold at the item shop. More importantly, however, is the fact that you can mix them together, and create new, never-before-seen items! You could do this for days! Weeks!

Dishing out the damage against three opponents is entertaining, and leads to some good strategy in what is otherwise a very simplistic combat engine. And it's a good thing that the combat is simplesometimes it's hard enough just trying to figure out where your damn character is after they've been swatted with a tennis racquet.

And that is my only real problem with the gamesometimes it's hard to figure out what the heck is going on. Well, that and the occasional cheap shot from one of the bosses. Certainly nothing to cry about.

However, with entertaining characters, great gameplay, and an item costing 20,000,000 credits,which you will NEVER have, this game will stay in the Dreamcast for a long time. Certainly a great purchase.

Best Deals for Power Stone 2

Basicly if u havnt played the first it was a 1v1 3d battle where u can kick, punch, hurtle chairs and tables and do just about everything you want. The reason its called powerstone was that there where 3 stones which would gradually apear as the fight went on. If a player got all 3 they could use speacial attacks at thier opponent. The first thing about Power Stone 2 (i dont write PS2 for a reason) is it supports 4 guys at once. If you think of a 3d super smash brothers you have a good idea how the fighting works, but you can still use whatevers lying around the level and any guns or weapons which apear. Finally even in the 4 player if you aquire 3 stones you get your special moves. As you can imagine the 4 player is a total mayham and gives players very little time to think what there doing. The team battle was a little more organized, but the only stradegy which works is to try to isolate 1 enemy and then double team him. The 3v1 and 2v1 modes where crazy. One pore guy get kicked around with no chance for victory. The game not only has these features but about 2 weeks after it comes out you can play online. About the levels and fighters there are plenty of diverse levels which all have unique aspects (in 1 you are sky diving and another theres a huge boulder roling around. There are also two new guys which i didnt recognize from power stone 1. Well overall it was about 4.6 out of 5 stars and anyone who likes alot of fighting will love this game.

Honest reviews on Power Stone 2

There's a ton of great Dreamcast games worth owning.. here's another one. After Street Fighter 2, Capcom languished in unoriginality for quite some time, but it's clear the company has been experiencing a creative rebirth. Power Stone 2 pours on the innovation.

Basically its a 3-D game where you run your character around and try to beat up everybody else. The stages in this game are amazing and usually feature many hazards, like cliffs to throw your opponents off of and wild power-ups. Unlike traditional fighting games, this game is more about keeping an eye on the big picture of the battle and not letting your opponent get an advantage on you through the use of items or the stage itself. There are all sorts of wicked special effects (lots of ranged attacks), and some stages seem to stretch for miles as the battle rages into different areas.

With 4 players this game is tremendous fun, with most participants constantly yelling and screaming about what's going on, but there's even a lot of crazy stuff to do in the 1-player game, trying to unlock more secrets using an in-depth item system which I like a lot.

this game is awesome. it's the best fighting game i've ever played. it has a so many weapons you can make. health items, guns, poles, and even stuff you can ride on. it has one player and multiplayer. they have great characters. and of course, like the first, collect three power stones to transform into a more powerful form, where you have special attacks. some characters are strong but slow, some are fast but kinda weak, and some are balanced. the stages are also awesome. every stage moves, meaning, something happens to it and it requires you to move to a different arena. and you can pick up stuff, like vases, and throw them at your enemy. the stages are very interactive. the controls are awesome and easy to use. the camera views are awesome too. i definently recommend getting this game. a lot better than the first one. this one has the same characters as the first one and four new ones. it's an awesome game. highly recommended!
