Power Stone

Power Stone is a very sick arcade fighting game, SOMEWHAT similar to Super Smash Bros. in which you play as one of eight playable characters (plus two unlockable ones) and fight one on one. Who ever dies TWICE loses.



I say its somewhat similar to Smash Bros. because during the fights there are a bunch of weapons and items that spawn that you can use against the enemy: flamethrowers, pistols, bombs, and most importantly the POWER STONES.



When the fight starts, both players start with one stone. Collecting all three stones powers your character up into a super mode for 15 seconds or so that gives them new, STRONG attacks, and also makes them look very cool.



When you're in this power mode you're pretty much unstoppable, but you have to be careful because THE ENEMY can also get it and kick your ass which can become a huge pain later on in the single-player story mode thing.



YOu pick a character and fight through every character on the roster, including the two unlockable ones, up to the final boss. Its a pretty fun little campaign, only takes about 25 or 30 minutes to complete BUT... The final boss will kick your ass unless you're some kind of pro, seasoned gamer. Its a good thing you have unlimited continues because they are no joke, play the game and find out for yourself.

With all that being said.. Power Stone is an excellent fighting game. Its extremely fun whether you're on your own, or playing with a friend (i havent done this so this is just an assumption). Weapons add for some CHAOTIC fun, and the power stones are a fun little gimmick, you're reallly just fighting over getting those stones, and when you get into a fight where you're just trading stones over and over it IS JUST SO MUCH FUN!!!



Power Stone is great game. If you can get it for a good price, go for it. If not, emulate, or maybe get the Power Stone Collection on PSP. This game EASILY gets a rating of FIVE multicolored emeralds, and two small crystals.
