    From fighting your favorite enemies to building a town from nothing, there’s plenty to do in One Piece Unlimited World Red.

    All in all, it’s a visually good game, easy to pick up and worth a try not only for fans but also those who like adventure games.

    Luffy's new adventure offers an original story created by Eiichiro Oda. However, it does not shine due to the brief duration of its campaign.

    Poor camera controls and some repetitive design dampen the experience, and will be harder to swallow for non-fans, but even players who can’t tell a Straw Hat from a straw hat can enjoy the the bright, high-energy action and colourful characters.

    A surprisingly expansive RPG. [Sept 2014, p.81]

    This game is a perfect sequel to the unlimited games on the wii. I loved those games and spent almost 200 hours on them!!!!

    Story: The    This game is a perfect sequel to the unlimited games on the wii. I loved those games and spent almost 200 hours on them!!!!

    Story: The story is much more interesting than the past games as we get Patrick Redfield and Pato, two characters developed by Oda himself. The story is really engaging while not being forced leaving path to the gameplay.

    Presentation: The visuals for this game are gorgeous to look at and the soundtrack even if it doesn't use any original tracks is still amazing. The islands and their ambientation and relating to the series is also gorgeous.

    Gameplay: The gameplay is exactly the same as the past games but slightly better. The character moves have been fantastically upgraded, each with their new moves from the new world post-timeskip and even new ways to play like when Usopp can enter first person mode or franky can build a cannon to hop into. For example if an enemy fires a cannonball Luffy will delfect it with his fussen, Zoro will cut it and Sanji will kick it. Most of the characters have also special abilities, like nami can steal, usopp can call some bugs to catch, chopper can dig and so on. The combat has been upgraded, where now you dodge in a quick time event making the battle more strategical and you now charge XP by fighting enemies. Even if more due to nostalgia I prefered the Thousand Sunny, Trans Town is a completely new experience. You feel more free and opened as you can move through town with luffy like you were spiderman and you can expand the town to build all the shops like in the past game (and new places too!). There are also there special minigames you can play and quite some upgrading to do to swap from the usual island exploring and fighting. There is also the new colosseum mode where you have to defeat bosses or hordes of enemy with several characters apart the straw hats. It would be repetitive but it is saved by the use of different characters and modes, as they are needed to unlock even more characters to play as!

    However i had only 2 problems with this game:
    #1 Is that there is no more the Versus mode from the past games. And that was so much fun!!! I played it for hours upon hours with my friends. Now there is only a co-op mode in colosseum and also in story. While it still is fun I would have also loved a VS mode.
    #2 Is the limit of characters. You can only play with a certain number of characters and the other ones can only be enemies. Why can you play as Buggy but not with Caesar Clown or Hody Jones??? I died to play with them but in the end I couldn't. If you think of it, without counting the ones that were in UC2SP the new characters you can play as are only Law and Fujitora (wich are still both awesome).

    Apart this the gameplay is similar to the past games but much newer and improved making it feel fresh and new.

    Replay value: As the past game this game will give you tons of hours to play. I already played 30 hours and I still keep playing. The story mode includes special quests where you have to collect an item or kill a boss in a preset way. For example you have to fight against Law while he switches your hearts or you have to go with chopper to find some apples in the forest, or capture Alabasta by defeating Luffy with Crocodile and Robin as Miss Allsunday... the list goes on! Colosseum mode will also take you a lot of time

    CONCLUSION: This game is a perfect sequel to it's old games. It has a perfect story mode and a really interesting colosseum mode, gorgeous graphics, engaging story and a ton of replayability and fun!!! This game should be enjoyed even by people who are not fans of the series. The only things that bug me are the characters and VS mode but apart that this game is perfect and it deserves a really high score anyway.

    ++ Engaging Story
    ++ Gorgeous Presentation
    +++ Perfectly updated moveset for everyone
    +++ Feels fresh and new
    ++ Engaging Colosseum Mode
    ++ Great Replayability
    - Limited Character Roster
    - No VS mode

    Final score: 9.8 (Adjusted to 10 for Metacritic)    … Expand

Believe me, this is one game that truly deserves your time. It's combat is intense when the tension of the story requires it to be! There are times when I've been so focused on avoiding enemy attacks and getting damage through that I have to lay down the console when I'm done just to embrace victory. A must have for anyone who has watched the One Piece series.… Expand

    This game is definitely for fans. It's events take place throughout multiple "chapters" and each chapter is in reference to a specific eventThis game is definitely for fans. It's events take place throughout multiple "chapters" and each chapter is in reference to a specific event or battle that occurs throughout One Piece history.

    Combat is decent, nothing overly complex means its friendly toward newcomers and veteran players. Definitely will get repetitive around the mid-game.

    Each character is adapted faithfully, and each feel extremely unique and fun to play with.
    A ton of side content and minigames to divulge into. Some surprises happen randomly!
    Additional characters for the arena conquest including some deserving and surprise characters.

    The story requires a decent understanding of events within One Piece to grasp all the dialogue. The main villain is probably my favorite in terms of non-canon villains, and is capable of driving events while remaining an elusive menace. Other new characters are decent and don't become overbearing on the story or other characters. Classic One Piece humor and emotion show throughout.

    While I appreciate the direction, I'm definitely eager to see Luffy in a larger environment, and hope that a continuation allows for more freedom and exploration.    … Expand
