I heard Tom mention this in another thread a while ago, so on Saturday a few of my mates came round and we had alittle Powerstone sesh!
While i do consider the first game the superior, we gave the sequel as spin for the 4 player mode.
One way to describe this game...NUTS!
The graphics still look fantastic, and how can you not like a lead character with a name like FOKKER. Yes Capcom changed the PAL release, as they realised we are bunch of immature gits, but anyway i like the name FOKKER.
Yep, the from the company that invented sequels came the most refreshing beat em up for AGES! and i would say this game is the most ideal 'GUYS' night in game this side of Virtua Tennis. You don't need to sit for hours wanking over different kara grab set ups to be able to enjoy this game, and its generally one of those games that make you wince or shout "Shiiiiiiiiit" as soon as you see Gunrock picking up a gigantic Rocket launcer or Ryoma beating you to the last Powerstone thus morphing into his metal Ninja!!
My only gripe is the audio which does makes me chuckle "OH NO!" once in a while but generally (like most beat em ups) is a bit wank. Generally overlooked at the time, while everyone was waiting for SC i felt this was one of the rare times Edge was fair in a review and gave it a 9. Although later they did say that they felt they was far to generous
!
Now a Cel Shading graphics version sequel would also be yummy, but only on Dreamcast mind
!Actually i thought this would make an ideal live game or even better capcom could just bang the two games on a "anniversary" package and ala~ fighting heaven..
