This game is great. It's easy to learn, fast and looks buetiful. The more you play it the higher you skill level grow, which means this game has tons of depth. This game has a ton of replay value for those who have a few friends to play it with. The VMS game is good enough to keep you ocuppied until you earn the last extras of the game. The only flaw is that the game tends to lack a few moves, although there is never a lack of things to do. A must have for any Capcom fan.

A fast action One-on-one fight to the death!

Power Stone is an intriguing one-on-one action title which incorporates some of the most unique characters in any fighting game. The ability to interact with you environment is a plus, for it opens up a new world of fighting strategies and techniques. This game is a must for hardcore and casual gamers alike.

Powerstone is an exellent launch purchase.

Wow. I have never disagreed with gamespot as much as I do now. Although they gave it a good score, they criticized it for being simplistic in it's depth. Sure the jump kick is a powerful move, but I invite their editors to try it on me. I've played Powerstone since it came out in the arcades, and admittedly at first I was a jump kicking scrub, but with much play, I found a deeper level to Powerstone's play. Believe me, once you take the time to master the intricacies of this game, it has a system that may not be as deep as Virtua Fighter 3 or Street Fighter Alpha 3, but it's definetly one of the more complex games out there to master. Perhaps because flip-kicking off the walls and using the various weapons is not as orthodox as the varios combo systems or linking techniques the videogames staff overlooked it, but this is a game where a master of the technique can definetly show a scrub who's boss. This game rocks and is one of the 8 launch titles I have reserved.

Fun, Fast, and beautiful!

I've been playing this game since it's Japanese release and it still is one of my favorites. While the single player game might eventually leave you wanting more, the two player aspect is where this game really shines.

The game takes a very basic approach to a fighting game. You have a punch, jump, and kick button, which can be linked together for combos and juggling type moves. The speed at which the game runs is insane. Once the round starts your heart is racing, frantically trying to pounce your opponent with a chair or table, while they're trying to do the same, and whoever collects 3 "Powerstones" first turns into a super charged version of themselves with new moves and a lot more power!

Also worth mention is the little extras you get for beating the game. New characters, weapons, VMU mini games, character endings, the list goes on and on.

Even though I've played the game to death, it still gets it's daily spin in my Dreamcast. This game should definintely be on everyones 'must have' list.

COOL FIGHTER!

I was lucky enough to try the original Japanese version of this game. Although I'm not much of a fighting game enthusiast, when I got my system, I also decided (on the spot) to get this game. I must say that this is one game that is incredible!

Power to the STONE!

really fun to play but you have to get used to it. the only flaw to the game is sometimes its hard to see in some places.but it has so much cool stuff,like secret charaters and mini games and secret items that you forget about the view.i think its better then alot of the other fighting games.So buy this game!!!!and buy it from here or you might get a used game from one of those ripoff stores.

If you want to have any amout of fun, go pickup Soul Calibur, and leave Power Stone on the shelf. Soul Calibur is to a Ferrari as Power Stone is to a Pinto.

This game is above average fighting......

Powerstone is one of the most original fighting ngames I've ever played. It's great to see Capcom break away from their usual Street Fighter formula. The graphics are great (a ton of animation-check out the supers!) each charector is well designed and gives you the feel of playing a cartoon. The controls are pretty simple, and once you learn how to play (you have to keep with it) you can pull off some great stuff like being able to grab onto the ceiling, drop down on to your opponents head and then throw a table at him just in time to grab that last powerstone. Everything combines into a great alternative to Soul Calibur (you have SC right?) Keep in mind it's best with 2 players! And from what I hear, the sequal will support 4 players...I can't wait!
