That being said, I'm throwing Power Stone into the mix. The first one, not the disappointing sequel.



This is easily the best fighting game Capcom has made since Capcom vs SNK. You choose from one of several quirky anime-styled characters (The ambitious pilot, Falcon, the giant bandit guy, Gunrock, the stereotypical samurai, Ryoma, etc) and fight in arena battles for posession of the Power Stone, which grants you a single wish or something.

Just about everything can be used as a weapon. Chairs, tables, potted plants, it can all be picked up and thrown at your enemy. In addition to these, there are various weapons that spawn on the battle field or in treasure chests like bombs, rocket launchers, swords, giant hammers and flamethrowers for maximum lol. Some unlockable weapons are a gattling gun and a nyoi bo. (Not unlike Goku's in Dragon Ball.)

Once you collect three Power Stones (Not to be confused with the wish-granting one. These are different. Somehow.) you go into a cheap overdrive transformation mode where all your attacks are stronger and you get two super moves for massive damage. Wang Tang apparently is a Super Saiyan and knows all of Goku's moves, as evidenced by his "Big Dragon Ball" (Spirit Bomb) and his short Kamehameha bursts.


The boss characters are the pirate, Kraken and a pro-wrestler-looking man named Valgas who uses the Power Stone in the final battle to transform into a huge dinosaur/mutated Tetsuo creature that starts the fight with a big mouth beam that takes off a good chunk of your health if you don't move in time.

It's sequel is meant more as a party game, with 4-player battles a la Smash Bros. which would probably be better if the camera didn't pan out so far you couldn't see your characters.

This great game has hardly gotten any recognition except from the few people who actually played it. Before I actually got it, my cousin and I would play the one level with two characters over and over on the demo disc that came with the Dreamcast. Hopefully the PSP release will garner a little more attenion.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
