This game is still enjoyable today, and it was the mold that created many games that came after it.
Activision has run out of ideas. The idea of implementing a "trick" mechanic is good in theory, but it's annoying in the actual game. The levels are more generic, and the soundtrack is the weakest of the entire series. I bought this game years ago and tried to force myself to play it, but it was no use. You can definitely skip this one.
This is a sequel that feels like a leftover of the first game. The story is not as interesting as the first game, and the villains are some of the most "B-list" villains in the web-head's gallery. The stages are more generic and somewhat confusing in the objectives presented to advance. It's a good game, but it's not better than the first one.

This is one of my earliest childhood memories, and it's a game that ticks "all the right notes" on this console. Since every Atari game plays out like a loop, they could easily become tiresome, but that's not the case here. It's still enjoyable to play every now and then.
This looks like a Nintendo 64 game disguised as a Gamecube one. What I mean by that? Everything is very bland and uninteresting: the combat, platform levels, boat exploration, enemies, and so on. Would this game be acclaimed if it wasn't a "Zelda" game? You tell me...
Mediocre game, nearly falling into the bad category. No story mode or similar features, heavy gameplay, and high difficulty in deflecting enemies special moves.
1999
A very cute game with terrible gameplay. It has a good story, vivid colors, cute enemies, and elaborated stages. However, the gameplay gets in your way and makes every jump very frustrating. Since this is a kid-oriented game, it might be disappointing to play, especially if they are very young. Play it only if you're interested in learning more about platform gaming.
A fun game, but too basic... unfortunately, it was rushed for release with the movie. The gameplay feels clunky, and there are few combos to experiment with against enemies. Paul Robertson's Pixel Art oozes with style, and the soundtrack from Anamanaguchi is very cute. This game is average, but if they made a sequel more robust, it could be a beat 'em up classic.
The gameplay is flawed, the enemies are irritating, and the camera is subpar, further exacerbated by poorly designed levels. While there is some value in the overall concept and the ability to kill everyone, it's merely a gimmick. Overall, it's an average movie adaptation that you can easily pass over.
My favorite One Piece game to this day and a great game in general. It's a sequel/expansion of the 'Grand Battle' game, with a fun story mode and a lot of side content to explore. The gameplay is average, the roster is good, and the stages are very fun. The downside is that the game is missing some characters, and I felt that this game could have included cutscenes or a more narrative way to end the chapters in the story mode. A great One Piece game and a good arena fighting game
A very good game that suffers from trying to 'reinvent the wheel' in the franchise. The story is still good, the gameplay is enjoyable, and I appreciate the distinct gameplay styles of the side characters; each one is unique. However, the game replaces realistic Japanese characters with 'weaboo/anime tropes,' which constantly breaks the tension. Come on, man, the main character being blonde in feudal Japan? C'mon...
1998
What an amazing game. Hit all the right notes. The story, gameplay and the Police station as scenario are Iconic. The two main character designs are amazing, with the blue and red scheme makes them eternally memorable. Super fun game with hours of replay.
1998
This game had very ambitious and interesting ideas, but the hardware of the time made all these ideas impossible to be well implemented. You can play as Batnipples, Robinipples, and Batgirl, roam through Gotham, visit landmarks and places that are open during specific hours, and follow the plot. The ideas were great, but the graphics were bad, gameplay was awful, and enemies were frustrating to fight against. It hit all the wrong notes. A really bad game, unfortunately.
After enjoying everything about Civilization Revolution on PS3, I decided to try the main series for the first time. Since I bought it in 2020, I have never finished a single match in this game.
The presentation and graphics are great, even the menu design and soundtrack. Overall, it is a very well-crafted game. However, playing on the PS4 is quite annoying. There are too many menus that are difficult to access using the buttons, and the text is too small. It seems like they just copied and pasted the PC version without considering the difference in resolution or adaptability.
I was expecting the matches to be long, but they are too long, and it is easy to lose your units over the map. I have tried to play three times, but each time I kept looking at the clock to keep an eye on my other chores during the day.
It looks like an amazing game, but I will never have time to play it, and if I did have time, I would choose to do more productive hobbies. Unfortunately, I will never play this game again.

This game is not as awful as everyone says it is. It has a limited range of attack possibilities, following its structure of far-mid-close attacks, and has strange spikes in difficulty and grind. The music is good and the anime direct cutscenes are a nice touch. If this game had more development time, it could have been great. It's a mediocre game, but fans of the series might enjoy it.
