Power Stone is a fully 3D arena fighting game series made by Capcom.
Power Stone was initially released on the Sega NAOMI hardware ([1]) and later ported to the Dreamcast. In February 2006 Capcom ported the entire series to the PSP with a few enhancements: most notably, the PSP version of the original
Power Stone included the four new characters introduced in
Power Stone 2. An anime tv series based on the game ran in the late 1990s.
The original
Power Stone featured 10 characters.
GameplayGameplay involves selecting a character and then proceeding to
battle the other characters, one at a time, in various locales. The
fighting is three dimensional and includes the ability to use special
attacks as well as pick up and fight with such objects as tables,
chairs, rocks and bombs. During battle, "Power Stones," resembling gems
of different colors, appear in the arena. If a character collects three
Power Stones, he transforms into a more powerful version of himself. He
will then be able to use one of two super special attacks. One is
generally a massive long-range power attack and the other is a grab or
close-range move. The powered-up mode only lasts until the power bar is
fully drained, during which the special attack can be executed (which
completely depletes the power bar) or other, lesser special moves can
be executed (which only use a small portion of power). Each match
continues until the life bar of one of the two characters fighting is depleted.
PlotSet in the 19th century, strong believers of legends, myths and superstition
search for fame, fortune and glory. One legend above all is sought
after by many, a treasure which can make any dream come true. Believers
from all over the world set out to search for this treasure, and are
forced to fight against one another in pursuit of the legendary Power
Stone.
ReceptionPower Stone was generally well-received by reviewers, with IGN stating "PowerStone is a must-have Dreamcast game. Go get it.
and giving it an 8.7/10 score.
Gamespot
was slightly less approving of the game, giving it a 7.6/10 and telling
players to "Expect to enjoy it immensely for the first week or two, but
don't expect to find very much long-term fun."
suggesting poor replay value despite IGN giving it an 8.3 rating on that very quality.
LegacyA sequel was created in 2000 called
Power Stone 2, which featured the original cast (minus the hidden characters Kraken and Valgas) as well as several new characters.
The sequel features the same style of 3-D combat but now allows up
to four players to play simultaneously. There are new maps, some of
which contain multiple areas and moving sections. The sequel also
features an entirely new arsenal of weapons, from futuristic handguns
to gigantic mallets, and magic wands to vehicles. Players can collect
these items in a special "Adventure" mode; they can then be traded at a
special "Item Shop", or combined together to form new items.
A remake of the first two games has been released for the PSP under the name
Power Stone Collection. This collection contains slightly updated versions of both games on one UMD.
