I have played this game at my friend's house for years now, and it does not cease to amaze me. The graphics are incredibly impressive for the Dreamcast, and it runs perfectly smoothly with unnoticeable frame rate issues even when the game gets particularly hectic. It has a wide variety of characters to choose from that are mostly balanced with each other. Each have their own weaknesses and strengths that take a lot of time to master. The levels make the game truly shine and be truly unique; they have changing environments, so while the player is fighting his friends or the CPU's, he has to make sure he survives the shifting stages, which adds some elements of platforming to the game, as well as a layer of hectic survival. The co-op multiplayer is fantastic because you can play with up to four of your friends on a co-op 2 vs 2 death match or free-for-all or even combinations, such as you and your friend against two CPU's. I am only giving this game a four because of its lack of a good story. There is somewhat of a story, but it is not a deep or compelling element to the game; if Capcom ever made a sequel to this gem and added a story as well as new elements and environments to the gameplay (well and improved graphics, of course) it would deserve something very close to a perfect rating. I have spent countless hours with my friends playing the game, in which there are the basic attacks you can perform against the enemy, but have a Super Smash Bros.-like element with the Gems. If you collect three of these Gems before the other players, then your character launches into a form of super sayan that absolutely dominates the field. There are also a variety of weapons the player can pick up like poles and bats, etc. All these elements of shifting environments, deep and balanced gameplay, a variety of characters, and the super moves add up to one of the greatest fighting games ever; it's like the older brother of Super Smash Bros. that is personally better than smash ever was.Read full review
I love this game. It has a lot of extras, and great multiplayer. (Kind of better than Smash Bros.) However, the disc had some very deep scratches. I got the disc resurfaced, and it works fine on the Dreamcast, but it still freezes mostly when I try to load certain characters, and other things, but I do understand this disc has been used a lot from time to time. Overall, this product is okay. Thanks.

Dreamcast launched an excellent series I wish sega could have kept up with. This was a revolution of a fighting game for this console. Forget those 2d backgrounds, his game utilizes all its surroundings!! Hands down a great game and worth trying out if you haven’t.

Power Stone 2 is one of Capcom's forgotten classics, it's fast paced, very well designed & way too much fun. A true arcade classic that won't take you half a year to beat & is even more fun with friends, any Capcom or Sega Dreamcast fan should play this game.

Great manual and game disc! Jewel case was not original as it had “compact disc” imprints.

The game is an excellent fusion a 3-d animation and fighting game engineer. Lots of effort and a provocative style make this a must own. The replay value is enormous and with 4-player capability there is potential for family and friends to interact and enjoy this game for years. Provided the game last that long the Power Stone 2 game is very delicate, not knowing the lifespan. I disgruntled at capcom for having to purchase this game three time already. If you can make a copy of it when it works it is cost effective but be warned to take very good care of it.
The games were in great shape considering their age. Very happy with that.
