4.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A One Piece Game Worth Owning!, February 18, 2008

This review is from: One Piece: Unlimited Adventure (Video Game)

I've been a one piece fan for few years now and still watch it when i can. I've bought all the American releases of the PS2/GC one piece games and lets just say none reached above a 6 for me, if even that high. So when i picked up a Wii besides the big games like Mario and Super Smash i was really looking forward to One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. And FINALLY I got what i wanted.

Story - 6 - The weakest part of the game. It's interesting enough to keep playing but just not enough to give it a great one. It's basically luffy and his crew head off to another adventure and get stuck on a Island which makes you remember memories of old times. This is interesting enough but nothing big happens but it's still worth finding out what happens to Luffy and his crew. Also just so US watchers know this game takes place after Enis Lobby so don't play unless your up to the current Japanese episodes.

Graphics - 9 - Some great graphics for the Wii. While things do look blocky at times the areas + Character models make this game look great. No more chibi looking characters, this is the real one piece look!

Gameplay - 8.5 - While it can get boring since each character only has about 7-8 attacks you have 8 characters to play with. This keeps the flow going and leveling up characters + Moves makes it even more fun. You also have over 40 characters to use in multiplayer!

Enjoyment - 9 - A long adventure with tons to do after beating the main story. Unlocking all the hidden bosses so you can use em in VS you'll have plenty to do. For 40 bucks your defiantly getting what your paying for.

Final Score - 8.5 - As a one piece fan it's a easy 8.5 and if your not it may only be a 7 or 7.5 but it's still a worthy game for my Wii collection. So go out and have fun one piece fans, i did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wii Love One Piece (Done Right), March 2, 2008

Finally, after all the previous butchered games released about One Piece so far, Unlimited Adventure delivers! Bandai Namco, and also Funimation for providing its current cast of voice actors, bring us an almost-fully unedited game featuring characters we've seen so far here in America, and some we have yet to see in the manga and anime.

New characters introduced start with the eigth member of Luffy's crew - Franky the Cyborg. Yes, I said "cyborg" (the creator, Eiichiro Oda, is a weird guy). He's the crew's shipwright, as he built their ship the Thousand Sunny (The Merry Go, sadly, is gone by the time this game takes place). His abilities include extending his one arm on a chain similar to Luffy's Gum Gum Pistol attack, and he can spit numerous nails at his enemies. Fans consider this as a whetting of your appetites for when he makes his anime and manga debut over here.

The game has 8 stages, one of which is where you recover your power and also save, and make cool foods and items. Each of the other stages have two bosses (plus a hidden one) you have to defeat, each one brought to life via the memories of the Straw Hats and also a mysterious orb they keep with them when the game starts. Friends, enemies, rivals, no one is spared in trying to keep you from accomplishing your goal. Some bosses you have to fight again at full health, once you beat them a first time, that is. Others, when they have half their life bar depleted, kick it up a notch and start using deadlier moves (including one-hit kill moves).

As you play, certain spots give you flashbacks into the lives of the Straw Hats (including right before a boss fight) to give you a better idea of the Straw Hats. Since they are randomized, though, they are out of order and those not familiar with the series will be a bit confused. And those who haven't been keeping up with the storylines in Japan will be lost when you face certain bosses. For example, the bosses Kaku, Spandam,and Rob Lucci (all three from the CP9 Saga, one of the greatest parts of OP by far).

The gameplay can be a bit tedious since some of the characters don't react fast enough after pulling off certain moves, and the bug collecting for item-making does get frustrating, but the game is fun all around and the voice-acting is superb. If you'r a fan of OP, you should give this game a try.

This review is from: One Piece: Unlimited Adventure (Video Game)

To be a game based off an animated program, this game really has alot going for it. The battle system can get pretty old and is rather easy, but its well balanced by extremely tough boss fights that you really have to think through. Its not a game for kids in the least bit. This is a serious adventure game that you really have to think about to beat.

That being said, it has a ton of content and is a decent length. Its seriously worth being picked up by fans of the show, anime fans in general, or people who own a Wii and simply want a good lengthy adventure!
