Power Stone 2 Review
Players who have had the pleasure of playing the original Power Stone know that it was pure fighting chaos. One or two players would run around trying to collect three power stones, which would turn them into superhuman punishment machines, while everything from tables to submachine guns were available as weapons. It was fast paced and a whole lot of fun.
Now, picture all of the aforementioned stuff, but with up to four players battling at once, and you've just described Power Stone 2 for Dreamcast. Sure, there's still a one-player mode, but it's Power Stone 2's multiplayer mode that truly makes it worth the price of admission.
The levels are larger this time around, to accommodate the wilder action, and there are Mario Party-style minigames that pop up smack in the middle of battles. Graphics are as beautiful as the Dreamcast can do, and the characters are cute and colorful. A couple of hidden characters add to the game's replay value. --Robb Guido
Pros:
- Fast and furious fighting action
- Bigger stages, where nearly every object can be used as a weapon
- Added minigames
- One-player mode not nearly as fun
- Frantic action leaves little space for strategy
