One Piece: Grand Battle 2

 

When I first caught wind of this game, I had the notion that it was going to be pretty good. It sounded like it was going to be like Power Stone, a game that I held in high regard back in the Dreamcast days. When it comes to games based upon movies -- or television shows -- they generally end up being horrible, so I was a bit concerned that this game might not live up to the material its based on.
The artistic style ends up being somewhat cell-shaded, which helps the game retain its childish style and mimics the look of the cartoon. I liked this look, as the environments you would fight in looked splendid. All the items, characters, and levels suit each other, and immerse you in their world, as if they were all puzzle pieces that fit together. It was a compliment that the characters looked the way they did in the cartoon, and even the manga.
The environments are somewhat interactive. On some levels, the ground may end up blowing up, which drops you into the water (on obvious bane to our hero). On another level if you are set on fire and run around it will burn down grass nearby. In a snow level the more you walk around and attack the more the snow melts away. This is certainly a nice touch as the environment is interacting with you and vice-versa.
Something that I really dislike about the game is the voice acting. It does not match the character's expressions. They could be showing a furious picture of a character, and they are talking calmly. The voices do not even match their characters. I shook my fist at the screen and yelled their lines like they are supposed to be, in a dire fit of frustration. I wanted emotion that would improve the storyline, but that did not happen in this game.

When it comes to the multiplayer, you can only have one player against you. It will always be a one-on-one battle. You can summon a partner character -- controlled by the computer -- that will attack your opponent for a brief period of time quite like summoning Pokemon in Super Smash Brothers.
In the game you can unlock a few other characters that you have either read about in the manga, or watched on the television show. It does give you something to strive towards, but they are easily unlockable. Another thing that can be unlocked are brief clips from the television show.
