Opening Snide Remarks: Power Stone was one of those launch games that I 
planned to buy.  It didn't work out, but I finally bought it and here's what
I thought of it.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: Power Stone is a crazy fighting game.  It has simple 
controls and truthfully some rather simple gameplay.  The main gist of the 
game is to collect all 3 Power Stones which then transforms your character 
into a super powerful robot type deal.  The quest to gather all 3 stones 
means that that is your main objective.  You can use anything in the arena 
such as guns, chairs, tables, barrels, and anything else that you can get 
your hands on, but the main quest is to get the 3 stones.  The fighting 
itself is fun and very fast.  This game is a lot of fun to play, but the 
fighting system is rather simple.  There are also lots of hidden things to 
unlock, which extends the game's value.     
Liked: Fun, kickass fighting. 
Hated: Ultimately it's maybe a little too simple.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Power Stone looks excellent.  The characters are nicely
detailed and look very different than most other video game characters.  
The backgrounds are very cool looking.  The game moves fast and smooth.
Liked: Great graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: PS has some pretty cool music.  It sounds kinda like
your usual videogame music.  The sound fx are great.  The voices are in 
Japanese.  This is okay, but I wish that there were an option for English or
Japanese voices. 
Liked: Cool music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: PS has some pretty simple controls which fit this 
game very well.  The game design is good, but this game needs more characters
and modes of play. 
Liked: Good controls.
Hated: Not quite enough stuff to do. 

****************************************************************************

Improve: More modes of play and more characters.

RIYL: Soul Calibur, I guess.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Power Stone is a really cool game that does have a few problems.
It's good fun while it lasts, but it is over a little too quickly.
