The Power Stones on the go! (SHORT REVIEW SERIES)

User Rating: 7.5 | Power Stone Collection PSP
Two of some of the most revered Dreamcast/NAOMI board fighting games arrive on the PSP with Power Stone Collection. The transition from the console/arcade to the PSP was a pretty faithful one albeit some really long load times. Some of the textures have been smoothened but the framerate is not running at 60 frames. That is not to say that the game is choppy, it remains playable 100%. Power Stone 2 is the highlight of the package where the Dreamcast game is pretty expensive these days. You may have a hard time keeping up with your character due to the intense 4 player melees but pressing the SELECT button will close up your character. Eight-seven years later, Power Stone still remains a fun fighting game and an excellent alternative to the Smash Brothers scene. Just hold up with the lenghty load times and you'll have the power in your hands.
