Power Stone for Dreamcast Videos >>
Summary My summary is:-more fun than other common fighting game -no "HARD-TO-REMEMBER-MOVES" such as in the Tekken -relaxing -it had combined many facts of fighting game in it Sound Good. Not bad for a game like thisGameplay Not easy for a newbie. When i start playing it the first time, i was crashed easily by the computer.But you'll gain more exp after playing some times & know how to to run off, kick @$$, blast the opponents & give them a throw. It was really enjoyable exspecially playing with your gangs. Also, you need some tactics to win in this game & not just rush like a buffalo.Would you like to Comment?

Unlike other psuedo 3D fighters like Dead Or Alive, Virtua Fighter, etc. you actually move in all directions, not just back and forth with an occasional camera angle change or a side step.Sound Sound effects are appropriate to the characters. Music is appropriate for Dreamcast level hardware.Gameplay The coolest thing about this game that really differentiates it from a classic fighter is the ability of the characters to interact with the environment. You can pick up objects and use them as melee weapons, thrown weapons, projectile weapons, shields, flamethrowers, ect. You can climb up poles and climb across the ceiling, jump on top of buildings, perform acrobatic type maneuvers, etc. If you are a stronger character you can actually break off poles and use them like giant bats.There are also 3 power stones in each level which grant you incredible abilities. If you gain possession of all 3, you become a super character with special powers depending on your character. Energy blasts, tracer energy arrows, and ninja star barrages are some of the abilites you might expect to use. Would you like to Comment?

You get to do a lot of things in this game! Like runing away from a boulder, swiming in water, floating in the air,climbing, and watching out for a big monster. Each level is very fun. This game is fun no matter how many players play. It is still fun. I mean what more can you ask from one of the best games. THANKS CAPCOM YOU ARE THE BEST!!Sound The sound is great. With so much going on it needs great sound GREAT WORK!Gameplay Gameplay is great. Four player action makes me want to play this game for hours. The only thing wrong is that it can get confusing what these things going on at one time. However, that is not a problem because with so much action it is O.k that you get confused. You will get use to it after a few hours of play. The computer is fun too. I can be playing by myself and still have a good time.Would you like to Comment?

As opposed to reversing and parrying found in other games, winning in Powerstone 2 depends on your ability to use the environment. It's a new concept but it works great. With simultaneous play for 4 players, Powerstone 2 is definitely worth a purchase (provided you're not solely in search of a deep single player mode).Sound Powerstone's sound matches, for the most part, its graphics. Character taunts are nice and so is the music. Unfortunately, the announcer can be a bit annoying. Everytime you get hit he says "OH NOOOOO." Yeah, thanks for the commentary. Again, the sound doesn't warrant a purchase but it can help add to the game.Gameplay In Powerstone 2, you and up to 3 opponents run around a large, multitiered environment to see who is the best of the best. Along the way you'll pick up several different weapons, utilize your environment, occassionally throw a few punches, and pick up power stones(when you get 3 you transform temporarily). The reason why Powerstone 2's fighting engine is so entertaining is because they've provided so many different items available for use (not sure how many but well over 100!) And, as stated earlier, you can also directly interact with the stages. This involves using turrets, launching catapults, and jumping from submarine to submarine. The only fault in Powerstone 2's gameplay department is that sometimes its too wacky. With four people playing at a time, it can become a bit difficult to find your player in all the chaos. It's a problem worth mentioning, but it really doesn't detract from the fun.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Out of every fighting game I have ever played, this one takes the cake. Although Power Stone was never overly popular, it has everything I look for in a game. The controls are easy to pick up and there aren't huge long button combos you have to memorize to do each move... this allows for a much smoother gameplay and a lot more skill involved than other fighting games. It takes out the combo memorization factor and replaces it with pure hand-eye coordination and skill. My friends and I have had powerstone since its release years ago, and have played it regularly ever since. I must say that this is the most addicting game I have ever owned! This game is a MUST HAVE for any video game lover, and if you do not already own it, do yourself a favor and go to the store and get it while you can!!!Sound The sound in power-stone is very unique and exciting. The sounds you hear when you smash a box over someone's head or throw a massive fireball are extraordinary and add a great deal to the enjoyment of the game!Gameplay The gameplay in Power Stone is hands down the best I have seen in any game (except maybe Unreal Tournament on the PC). There are soooo many things you can do in any situation to counter the moves of your opponent. Literally everything you do is counterable... after two years of play I am still discovering new tactics to use on my friends! The replay value of this game is absolutely unending. The gameplay is also extremely fast paced and COMPLETELY 3-D. Whereas most 3D fighters like Tekken and Soul Calibur are not really 3D in gameplay, Power Stone is completely unbound by these restrictions. You can use everything in your surroundings to your advantage as you increase in skill. You can jump off walls, climb on the ceiling, spin around poles, throw objects, do backflips off walls, and MUCH MUCH more. There are so many different ways to use the different levels that I have not come close to discovering them all. In my opinion, this game is THE best fighting game currently in existence!!Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.
