Product ReviewsPower Stone (Sega Dreamcast, 1999)

Great game

I didn't think it would live up to the hype but I'm glad I got a decently priced copy. It has satisfying combat and a little bit of depth but goddamn is it difficult, even on easy (maybe it's just me). Definitely worth getting and checking out.Read full review...

Disk doesn't work :(

All my other dreamcast games work perfectly, so I was very disappointed that this copy does not work at all despite the disk having very few scratches and appearing in great condition. I have tried cleaning and will give a few other methods a try since it looks like there shouldn't be anything wrong with the disk.Read full review...

Power Stone (worth buying a dreancast alone!)

Power Stone is simply am incredible game. It is not available for concoles like Playstation or Xbox, but is available for the "older" dreamcast. It is hard to describe every nuance, shade, detail of the game... but i chose some pros and cons to give you some insight.

Pros:
-Dated, but BEAUTIFUL fighting enviornments
-Characters have incredible moving ability and respind well
-Characters interact with weapons, objects etc. in the enviorment during battle
-Addictive gameplay, especillay for two players
-Easy to learn, fast-paced gameplay
-11 unique, multilevel, interactive fighting environments
-It's a Capcom Fighter

Cons:
-May be too frantic for some players (run & dodge)
-Not your detailed combos fighter like Tekken, Soul Calibur
-Weapons, once understood, often become annoying in battle because of their simplicity and ability to turn the fight very quickly

All in all i would rate this fighter 4/5, primarily becaus eof it's unique aspects. While some might grade it lower, it truly is fun and creative. This game doesn't require hours of gameplay to master combos, but provides a fast paced fighting enviornemnt. If you want the ploished version, try out Power Stone 2, if you can find it at a reasonable price.Read full review...

Power Stone still holds up after all these years

Power Stone has definitely stood the test of time. From its quirky intro screen and absurd announcer voices onward, this game will bring a big smile to the faces of you and the friend you are pummeling. The game's extremely customizable game play setting should balance out any moves or items that become overly dominant. The power stone collecting element of the combat turns makes for often one-sided victories, but equally often intense scrambles that end dead-close. The game also features clever interactive levels, tons of items and weapons, and plenty of unlockables. The final boss is huge, grotesque, and reasonably difficult. Give this a go!Read full review...

Solid fighter with unique game play

Power Stone is a great game,with a unique fighting system that will provide hours and hours of fun gameplay.
The controls are very fluid,and the ability to have four people playing at once is another plus.

Their's only a few minor complaints I can make against Power Stone.The first being it's too short on single player campaign.And the second being their's not enough playable characters.

In the end,I recommend anyone adding Power Stone to their Dreamcast collection.Read full review...

Great game, just how i remembered it.

This was always one of my favorite Dreamcast titles but unfortunately I sold my original copy years ago. It was great to be able to boot it up and play all over again.

Power Stone

Power Stone is still one of best fighters ever released almost 20 years later. There really needs to be a new installment.

Great find!

My husband has been wanting this game for years and hasn’t been able to find it so I’m happy to find one complete for him in such great shape!

Power Stone rocks

I bought this game because I used to play it a lot when it first came out for sega dreamcast. I remember it being tons of fun when I used to play it back in the day. When I saw it on ebay I had to buy it. After a couple of rounds I remembered why I found this game to be so much fun and I played for awhile. The fact that you pick up or throw anything is awesome and of course when you power up with the power stone it is too cool. Wang tang is my favorite character and he reminds me of super saiyan when he powers up. I am going to beat it again with another character so I can collect all the items and use them in the game. You can use the whole environment to your advantage and the weapons are real useful. There are flame throwers, bazookas, guns, swords and many more.Read full review...

One of the best fighters in video game history!

This game changes fighting games into pure awesomeness. Possibly one of the best multiplayer games. The game had the best controls and character options. You can pick up scenary and kick/throw it at your opponent. The only problem I had with this game is that one character is incredibly cheap and can kill basically anyone in one hit if all 3 powerstones are collected.Read full review...
