Power Stone Collection (USA) ISO PSP PPSSPP High Compress

Originally released in 1999 as an arcade game running on Sega's modular, then-standard-bearing Naomi hardware, Power Stone found itself a good home on the Sega Dreamcast, where it delivered an accessible style of explosive fighting action. Though it spawned a much-improved sequel, the franchise never made it off Sega's doomed console, until now. Power Stone Collection faithfully resurrects both of these underappreciated brawlers on the PSP. It's a bit of a warts-and-all package. The action has some teeth when played against live opponents, but the weakness of the single-player game is quite pronounced.

Power Stone Collection includes both games pretty much how they appeared on the Dreamcast. The game's arcade roots show in both the lightning-quick gameplay and the color-soaked visual style, and its look is pretty unique, applying an anime art style to some unusual sources. Many of the characters are ostensibly inspired by an eclectic variety of turn-of-the-century archetypes. There's Falcon, the dashing English biplane pilot; Wang Tang, the kung fu disciple; Ryoma, the top-knotted samurai; Rouge, the Arabian princess; and Galuda, the Native American. The inspiration for other fighters, like the hulking Gunrock or the creepy, mummified Jack, is less apparent, but the action quickly becomes so bizarre that it hardly matters.
