Power Stone (DC) Reviews

One of the very best games for the Dreamcast, along with its superb sequel, was Power Stone, a fully 3D beat em up with a host of crazy characters, great maps, and awesome weaponry. Something of an opposition to standard beat em ups, this one boasts more freedom, with vast maps, and the ability to roam in the environmen free of the normal ...  Read the complete review

Power Stone one of the dreamcast launch releases, Powerstone feels like it's a straight arcade convertion as their is little other to do than arcade, it's a fun game while it lasts but it doesn't last long, after you've used the flame thrower there's nothing else to do, it's even dull in two player mode. Power ...  Read the complete review

Powerstone was a refreshing change in pace in the genre of fighting games. Finally something one a higher level gaming platform has come out perfectly. The fun is insane! The interactive levels make the game so much more that it seems to be. You can beat a number of combos directly into your opponent, throw objects, utilize various weapons, ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit I perhaps haven't played Power Stone enough to really appreciate the game. As a single player game I found it incredibly difficult to get into. There's so much going on that it can be quite difficult to follow the battle. Graphically the game is god, with a clean anime style to the characters and locations. The gameplay is ...  Read the complete review

Power stone is a great game but not as good as its sequel. The graphics and sound are great and the graphics look a bit childish but this really is a good game. It is a one-on-one beat-em up where you simply have to fight your way through eight opponents collecting power stones and then take on the boss. Power stone is extremely playable but ...  Read the complete review

As u see everyone hear likes this game! i have it, but i'd like to point out something. This game's graphics are quite impressive and color (to attract yuonger kids i guess). Sound is above great (not perfect....but it goes well with the game)The diffulculty is high on 1P which will have pretty much everyone "GODAMMIT WHY WON"T U DIE U LITTLE ...  Read the complete review

The first thing I noticed about this game was the developer- Capcom. So I thought I'd have a look at what they'd done before and one game came to mind.... Street Fighter, which was the greatest, beat 'em up of the age a few years ago. Since then the series has been going downhill with the release of a long string of sequels which ...  Read the complete review

As one of the first games to be release don the Dreamcast, this game set new standards in terms of gameplay and 3d interactivity. A total blast to play, this game will keep you entertained for hours, and it is so original it is like nothing I have played in the past. The graphics are great, the sound is also very good, but the gameplay is fast ...  Read the complete review

power stone id the first free-romeing fighting game, and it is really cool too. You pick of of 8(i think its 8)characters and jump into a fully 3-D arena where you must beat up your oponent to win, alot like anyother fighting game, but this one has a difference, you can pick up objects and smack each other with then, and there is also some objects ...  Read the complete review

What a unique fighting game this is. Taking place in 3D arenas, the aim is to use anything and everything to beat up your opponent, in a one on one beat-em-up more remeniscent of Final Fight than Tekken. This makes for a very fun, very instantly playable game. The range of weapons is great, the moves performable impressive but slightly ...  Read the complete review

Insane! This is such a brilliant game, and breathes new life into the somewhat stale beat-em up genre. Where as nearly all fighter now follow the Street Fighter / Tekken moulds to a greater or lesser extent, Powerstone throws the rules out of the window, but only after ripping them up, throwing a chair at them and shooting them with a ...  Read the complete review

I don't own a Dreamcast but, when I played this game the other night I thought that it was brilliant. I have never seen a beat 'em up like this before. I have seen 3D arenas and stuff like: Virtua Fighter (Saturn), Ready 2 Rumble (Dreamcast) and Fighters Destiny (Nintendo 64). None of these compare to Power Stone because it is unique. ...  Read the complete review

The main character when powered up looks like a power ranger,ok.I've heard that enough times.This,is utterly,truly the best fighting game on the Dreamcast,including Soul Caliber(and I haven't played Dead or Alive 2 yet so shut up at the back).This was the cream of the crop on release day and lucky for me,I was one of the few people who ...  Read the complete review

Capcom make the best beat-em-ups in the world. Street Fighter rocks. And this game does the same. Whilst Street Fighter 2 revolutionised the 2D beat-em-up, Power Stone does the same for 3D fighters. By expanding the range of motion over all 3 axis freely, rather than the 2 axis movement of other titles, it opens up the game hugely. Not ...  Read the complete review

Power Stone's battles take place in detailed 3D arenas and are a markedly different experience to conventional fighting games. For a start, there's no block button. Instead, players must use the environment to their advantage, evading attacks from their opponents. Each character has a fairly straightforward set of punches, kicks, throws, ...  Read the complete review

What a great game! I purchased this along with Ready 2 Rumble, Sonic Adventure and Trick Style on the DC launch day and out of all the titles this was the one I played the most, because it is just so good. The characters are well modelled and the models move around at incredibly high frame rates. Add the fast action of Killer Instinct into a full ...  Read the complete review
