I received my PSP for Christmas and purchased the extra accesories the next day (e.g. the body armor and Media Manager program). I also got the chance to pick up this game and have enjoyed it since. After all, I absolutely LOVED the Dreamcast versions and wasn't in any way disappointed! This collection includes both Power Stone 1 & 2, which resembles the original game play, characters, and graphics--only smaller! You'll need to update your PSP to at least version 2.81 to play, but this is really no problem since it automatically does it for you (just make sure the battery is fully charged and that the PSP is plugged into a power outlet via the AC adaptor). The only downside I have with this game[s] is that the unlockable features (while good) are limited. Otherwise, for Power Stone fans, this is a must buy and at a very reasonable price!

Remember back in the day when you or a friend or someone you knew had a Dreamcast and they had either Power Stone 1 or Powerstone 2 or even both! Well all that is about to come back to you with both games jam packed into one disk. No worrying about having to try finding either games on Amazon or Ebay for over $100 for new editions only to find out that they're scratched. This is two games on one disk for almost 1/4th the price. No worries about if they've changed things around from the original game. They are no different from the games on the dreamcast with the exception of new weapons, which is a plus. Powerstone 1 focuses mainly on man on man combat while Powerstone 2 has the option to play with more than 2 players. The stages in Powerstone 1 are mainly just a cubical, basically the size of a McDonald's. While in Powerstone 2, since you have the capability to have more than two characters on screen at one time, the stages are much bigger and you are able to use more items in Powerstone 2. The only real two problems with the game is availability if you were going to buy it in a store. The other problem is the loading time. It takes at least a minute to load the game. Never would you see that for the original games on the dreamcast, for the dreamcast it would take less than 30 seconds to load the game. But after you load the game and actually get into it, then there really isn't any load times.

I would definitely Power Stone Collection if you are interested in a constant melee action packed beat'em up game, or if your an old school Power Stone fan who use to own a Dream Cast like me, this game is for you. Power Stone Collection has a perfect port of Power Stone 1 & 2, graphically, and visually. Plus it has an exclusive collection gallery with art and music from Power Stone 1 & 2. The loading times can seem long, but you have to remember, it's a PSP, not a Dream Cast, so it will take awhile. The controls might seem kinda crazy at first, but you'll get use to it. Overall, I think that this game is Awesome!!!

Game play: Same as the original games and still amazing

Graphics: Still the same as the original, and still very good both a PSP and a Dream Cast

Controls: A bit odd at first, but then very easy.

Sound: Absolutely amazing for any fighting game out there.

Overall: A+

I've played Power Stone 2 on the Dreamcast before and it was a blast. Being able to play the game once more on my PSP is amazing. The game is the same as it was before along with its 2-player only predecessor, Power Stone. Both in my opinion are fun games to play when you feel like beating some virtual butt.

The game comes with a few mini games that were released with Dreamcast versions of the games. They are fun to play and simple to understand so they make great time wasters. Gameplay for both of the games remain the same. You can unlock some characters from Power Stone to Power Stone 2 and vice versa. The game is a LOT and I mean a LOT of fun if you can find friends with it (it only supports ad-hoc). As such the game might get old for some if you play by yourself.

All in all the two games are back and the same as before. If you want to relive those moments again or play the series for the very first time, this is where to start.

This is literally my favorite game of all time. The unique fighting approach and fun factor in Power Stone is unfathomed. I'm still waiting for Power Stone 3 Capcom....

If you love combos, air juggling, super moves, sci-fi fancy moves, great music and of course capcom gaming style; this game is designed for you no doubt, if you loved to play this one on the dreamcast, now take it anyware you go for limitless fun!!!!!!!

After I found out that power stone was remade for the psp. I had to have that game because this is one of the greatest games from the 90s to have on a portable machine. I give it 5 stars for gameplay because its easy to get addicted to it. Not many classic capcom games are remade for the psp and fortunately this one is. I forgot how the cool items in the game makes it more funny for the players. Overall, I give it four stars because the graphics doesn't match up to the dreamcast port of powerstone. The music, fun factor, controls, and gameplay are a plus. I would recommend this game to any capcom fan today, and hopefully another classic game like this can be remade for the psp.

This a great collection of two great 3 D fighter games(they are truly unique!),these games won a fan base with a now defunct game system,but now there back and portable on the PSP,with a few nice tweaks here and there!!! Great job from the folks at Capcom,they DO make some great fun games!!! Recommended for fans of the series,or people who like a good fighting game!!! A+

wow this games awsome i still enjoy it i use to own this on dreamcast before mine bricked this is a good buy I hope you all get your own copy iam looking for peeps to play on xkai and the fact you get both game that i truly enjoy so its worth a check take care peeps

I got this game because I heard a lot about it and never got the chance to play the original Dreamcast version. And ever since then I wanted to try out the game. Well, along came the deal on here where I paid 10 bucks for it. I thought, why not? It'll be fun, right? And fun it was. You never know the joy of being in a small room with another person throwing things and fighting all along until you play this game. Definitely a great game to unwind with.
