Lives up to the anime July 31, 2008 It's a very nice game, and for the most part true to the anime (in terms of fighting, and such
Quite enjoyable July 17, 2008 It really brings the characters off the page like the anime but in your control. Hours of fun, with multiple characters and a solid story line.
One of the best (One Piece) games ever! June 23, 2008 A One Piece RPG/Fighting Wii Game! Who would've thought possible? For the solo game you gather items to energize your new found gem in order to unlock new places or bosses. In the multiplayer mode, you duke it out with your favorite One Piece heroes and villians that you got in the solo mode. This game goes from Luffy's village all the way to Water 7 so there will be no skeleton nakama. If you like One Piece, this game is a must buy. If you don't, try it out for the adventure mode. During the solo mode, you can also catch fish/other water-dwelling animals with your rod or catch insects with your net. At >40 bucks who wouldn't want to buy this game?
An adventure you won't soon forget! April 22, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!
Wii Love One Piece (Done Right) March 3, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
