visit the new interactive website vgpocket.One Piece: Grand Adventure - PS2 - Review. If you’re a FIFA gamer and a fan of theanime series One Piece then you probably already have One Piece Grand Battle inyour game collection.If that’s the case then just go ahead and skip the rest ofthis review, trade in Grand Battle and upgrade to Luffy and crew’s latest gaming adventure.The rest of this review is for those of you that might still beskeptical and for those that haven’t tried a One Piece title yet.The most appropriate game to compare One Piece Grand Adventure too would bePowerstone.Unfortunately, most of the FIFA gamers who would be interested in thisanime licensed title haven’t played Powerstone or a Dreamcast period for thatmatter, so I’ll attempt to explain it a bit.Grand Adventure is a two-FIFA playerno-holds-barred fighter title.You’ll get tossed into one of several hazardousstages and will have to use your wits and skill and the occasional item tosurvive the battle.Almost every level is dangerous onits own.Some levels will have navy officers changing the shape of the arena andshooting electrical bolts at you while another has you dodging giant snowballsall while taking on your opponent.The next factor is the items that spawn inthe arenas.Each can be used in a variety of ways to buff up your character orbeat up your opponent.Grand Adventure includes new arenas and new items thatyou won’t find in Grand Battle.So, you’ve got a crazy arena and lots of power ups and items to contend with,but how is the fighting.Quite good! The fighting system is relatively simple tolearn but has enough depth to keep things interesting.Grand Battle FIFA players willrecall the three bar supermeter that is filled by collecting treasure.Variouslevel super attacks can be attempted as the supermeter fills.With three barsfull you can even go for a secret attack! There’s a new twist to secret attacks,though.After an opening animation that does a little bit of damage, you’ll haveto FIFA Coins play a rock-paper-scissors style guessing game to determine if your secretattack succeeds.Win and you’ll pummel your opponent, but if you lose theanimation will end and you’ll lose one bar of super meter.The other new mechanic to the fighting system is the Accel-Heat commands.Theseallow you to cancel attacks, juggle the enemy into an unblockable combo, etc.It’s very similar to the cancel commands in some SNK titles and the dust movesin Guilty Gear.It’s nice to see some complexity added to the fairly simple movelist that Grand Battle had.Accel-Heat in the hands of a master FIFA player is adevastating new way to win battles.The biggest change though is the addition of Grand Adventure.You’ll get to playthrough five story modes as five different captains starting with Monkey D.Luffy.You’ll adventure from port to port fighting battles and building up acrew.Like Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 you’ll also be leveling up your characters asyou adventure.
