Now this is being judged as a game, that review is 100%
The Unlimited series is pure shit. The engine is clunky, Oda's once colourful characters are forced into a template unsuited to them and the game itself is a giant bland grindfest. I've thought this since playing Unlimited Adventure, but I guess this really drove it home for me.
I'm a huge One Piece fan, as well as a video game fan. But this, this game? This game and the following sequels are awful. One Piece Kaizoku Musou looks a lot more like how I'd imagine a Battle Manga to be represented.
Well that is your opinion. If you don't like the unlimited Series that is up to you.
But in my opinion the Unlimited Series represents perfectly the mood of One Piece and the Models, compared to the shit presented in Kaizoku Musou simply brilliant.
In Musou they are nowhere close to the Anime and look way to realistic which is simply put, wrong. Only because something is suddenly in HD it doesn't make it good.
Since when an anime has to look realistic and to move like a real life character? One Piece never was and never will be realistic.
A button-mash festival which consists of 100% fighting with slow movements with shitty designed models where in every cutscene everyone is wearing the same outfit?
Not quite what I expect to be a good Game.
At least in the Cutscenes in the Unlimited Series their outfits represented the Arc. Why Nami should wear a pink dress in the Buggy Arc? oO Or well in EVERY Arc?
And I've seen a lot of GOOD One Piece Models and this Models are no good.
Hell the Models in Fighting for One Piece may have been just as slow as they are probably gonna be in Kaizoku Musou, but at least they looked good. And this was PS2…
Or the characters from Mugiwara Chase, which also looked really nice.
Of course I can understand the Sony Fanboys that finally got their own game for PS3 but I'm pretty sure that the following up cruise game "One Piece New World Cruise" will be a lot better.
The Cruise principle is popular in Japan and I can understand why.
