It may sound like a wacky premise, but if you like odd games with a special Japanese flavor, youll love this one.
-
Just as "Devil Dice" and "Intelligent Qube" showed that originality can still flourish in the puzzle genre, One Piece Mansion provides a welcome respite from the newest "been there, done that" version of Tetris or Bust-a-Move.
-
While not absolutely groundbreaking, the gameplay is really quite fresh.
-
[It] isn't for kids of the easily-frustrated, and should be tackled only by the hardcore puzzle nut that wants "Lemmings", "The Sims" and an average Japanese living arrangement rolled into one supremely hard PSOne nutcracker.
-
For those who like this type of game and would like to see a change from falling blocks this game will entertain you for many hours.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyIts a good thing to see a change from the usual block-dropper, but this is tough stuff. [Nov 2001, p.216]
-
Unfortunately, the game doesnt maintain any long-term interest: defusing problems and room-swapping tenants are more work than fun and the process becomes tiresome after the third stage or so.
-
While the gameplay is refreshingly unique (albeit confusing at first), the game itself is terribly short.
-
The Story mode lacks a story, the only other mode sucks, and without a friend to play against the game is just too repetitive to be worth buying.
-
The problem is, the raw mechanics of the game are simply quite the logistical chore, with very little chance to even sit back and enjoy the otherwise-entertaining detail animations which might lend some humor to the game.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineContrary to the rules of classic puzzle games, it takes a long time to ick up, but a short time to master. I'll pass, thanks. [Nov 2001, p.167]

Why have Capcom produced a game that once you've played it, you wont want to pick up ever again?...This is rubbish!
