Power Stone is one of Capcom's few entries into the 3d fighting genre, but easily surpases Tekken, Toshinden, and other 3d fighters. From the very first time I heard about a game that let you use the environment around you to fight(pick up chairs, roll over tables, swing around beams, and more!) I was happy. When I learned it was from Capcom, I nearly feinted from joy. Did it live up to my expectations? Actually, it surpassed them. Knocking someone into a wall then watching a shelf dump pots on their head is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

The controls of the game are fluid, and very easy to learn. And the lack of true "special moves" in the classic sense makes the game easy to play for the gamer who can't do motions on the controller as well. The only negative comment on gameplay I can make is that there is no way to pick up the huge tables and throw them. Oh wait, nevermind, you can!

This game is most definitly worth buying for fighting game fans. Replay value is even greatly increased with the "Power Stone Collection" mode, in which you play through the game, and some VMS mini-games, to earn new characters, features, and even a special point-of-view mode like Bushido Blade.
