Every game has the good and the bad. I am going to start off with the good things in this game. This game is 2D. I am sure most of you know what that is, but it's pretty good for WonderSwan (it's simular to a GameBoy or GameBoy Advance). You can play as Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami and Chopper. There is only 2 types of game mode. One of them is that you pick a character and you fight people in order for instane if you are playing Luffy you will start fighting Sanji then Zoro, Kung Fu Seals, Smoker, and you will end up fighting Crocodile 3 times. Each character battles different characters. With Luffy you can perform techniques such as Gomu Gomu no Stamp, Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, Gomu Gomu no Chomp and many others. Each character has most of the techniques like Zoro has Oni Giri, 3,000 Worlds, etc... Some techniques are hard to perform especilly the ones that do allot of damage to your opponent like Gomu Gomu no Bazooka for an example. The other mode is the VS. mode. Which you can play against Player 2 or play against the computer where you pick your opponents. You can even unlock a character. One character that you can unlock is Partugas D. Ace but I have no idea how to unlock so try doing it your self since I can not figure it out.

The gameplay is not all that great. You can beat the game in 30 minutes if you pick the hardest level, if you play on the easiest level it will take you 15-20 minutes maybe less. Sometimes the graphics get a little bit choppy for a second or two but thats not a big flaw really. Other than that a big flaw is that there is only 2 modes and it gets really boring after you play it allot. Even though there is some flaws, I suggest playing this game if you are a hardcore One Piece Fan. So check it out and if you think it's worth your time.

For everyone who has no clue what WonderSwan is, I'll give you a brief description. It's a Japanese handheld system like gameboy. The biggest difference is their screens, Gameboy has always needed a lot of light while WonderSwan needs much less light and has an overall better feel in my opinion. Not to mention the great sound!

I think this is a great game, probably one of the best One Piece games out there. You start out with 2 modes, Story and VS mode. At the beginning of the game you start out with 6 characters, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper. Each character has a few normal moves and 3 special moves. Characters start out with 2 special moves and once you beat hard mode without losing any continues, you get the third. All the moves are taken directly from the anime/manga (a few of them are, Antimanner Kick course, Mutton shot, Vo shot, Gomu Gomu no Ono, Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, Gomu Gomu no Storm, Oukyushyuchi, Lanblue Ball, Brain point, Oni Giri, etc.).

Once you beat story mode with any character you?ll get his card. If you beat it on Hard mode with no continues, you?ll get your characters card and a few additional cards (like Shanks, Beckman, Alvida, Kuro, Karu, King Cobra, Vivi, Mihawk, Seff, Barogue Works people, Cowboy, Centaurus, Koby, Jango, Yasopp, etc.). Sometimes you'll get a new character too. The secret characters that you can get are Tashigi, Smoker, Mr. 2, Mr. 1, Nico Robin, Crocodile and the super-secret character Portgas D. Ace. Once you beat the game with all the characters on hard mode, you get a mini-game. In the mini-game you fight the Kung Fu Seals that the Straw Hat pirate crew met in the Alabasta Arc. Although this game seems hard at first, with a little practice you'll become a pro. I'd definitely suggest this to anybody, One Piece fan or not.
