Advantages: 4 player battles?

Disadvantages: Messy fighting at times.

When the original Powerstone came out I was sceptical about it. It looked very gimmicky and childish, so I stayed well clear of it, and to tell you the truth I didn't really know much about it (no advertising or other promotion etc), but a few months ago I thought I'd get it.

Just £11 and the game was mine - I'd bought the game 2nd hand from an online auction, and I was fairly impressed; it got reviews of 9/10 and 8/10 and generally very good ratings, but I didn't really like it; far too japanese for my liking! I mean, the graphics were odd, but very slick and the general presentation was 'wierd' to say the least. The game was definitely intended for the japanese; just listen to the voices in the game!

So I left it alone for a while, because when there are such better Fighting games like Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive 2 I really didn't have time for it.

But then I heard about Power Stone 2. It was set to be something special, abd I'd already read a review by Gameplay.com giving it a monster 97%! So I just had to investigate further, and this is what I found:

ALRIGHT! The first thing that was instantly notable was that the game was meant for 4 players; yes a FOUR PLAYER simultanios fight 'em up! Nothing can prepare you for the insanity to be found in the sequel; ok, so the original Powerstone was Critically acclaimed and has been described as one of the freshest Beat 'em ups around of late - well - the Sequel is quite frankly AMAZING. With superb visuals and great controls the game is so easy to pick up and play and you'll have a load of fun playing it!

Grab 3 mates round and battle it out over many different leveled arenas - get boxes and sticks - throw them at them! Then collect all 3 Powerstones to become a super big version of yourself - virtually impossible to be beaten once you become this size - literally!

I highly advise y
ou get this game!
