    A fun game marred by a lack of innovation. It looks good and sounds decent, but most of what you'll find in One Piece has been done before and done better.

    It is limited in a few ways, namely in the number of characters (a total of 16 with unlocks) and the depth of the fighting system, but it is also something I can see as a great party game for groups of casual gamers of any age.

    Fans wil enjoy the customized in-fight dialogue between the characters. [Nov 2005, p.108]

    A passable fighting game, but has nothing to recommend it to people who are not fans of its namesake anime and manga series.

    Grand Battle might be alright for two-player games, but the single-player experience is worn out in six hours or so, and I'm not sure how many people would want to jump into a tournament with this fighting system.

To start, the good parts are the base gameplay, and the graphics. It uses a good looking chibi style. The main gameplay is a 3D fighter, and that part is fun. There are a decent amount of characters, and the fighting is a bit complex in a good way. The stages are all really cool and interactive, and every stage is unique and fun. Story mode is neat but pretty minor. The mini games are awful, all of them are unreasonably hard and mostly not fun. There are a ton of unlockables, but I can't figure out how to unlock them. Oh also it was made with 4kids so the dubbing is weird and they changed some characters names and stuff. Every character has a fancy and unique special attack that looks really good. Thats about everything, good game. Don't spend a ton on it but if you can find a cheap copy, go for it.… Full Review »
