Review: Power Stone 2 is the sequel to the free-roaming, go-anywhere, grab-anything fighting game known as Power Stone. The sequel is much like the original, but now with bigger, crazier, and more interactive levels, new characters and new moves! And now, 4 characters can fight at once, making it a very fun multi-player game. Also, hundreds of new items can be collected and used in battle!

Closing Comment: Power Stone 2 became another sleeper hit from Capcom, notably on the Dreamcast. Great innovative gameplay, but I just wish they would have invested a little more time in the characters, especially the new ones... Because some of them are really lame and childish. Some MORE characters for the sequel wouldn't have hurt either. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
