  • Summary: In One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, the motley Straw Hat Pirates find themselves stranded in a mysterious land after a massive island rises to the ocean surface from underneath their pirate ship. Players must assume the role of their favorite One Piece persona and explore this newly formed terrain to uncover the secrets and powers that lie within this isle. With the Wii remote and Nunchuck controller, players pull, turn and swing to battle nefarious villains using each character’s own unique set of moves including Luffy’s “Gum Gum Storm” and Nami’s “Cyclone Tempo”.

    This one is designed from the ground up for Wii and it really shows. [mar 2008, p.57]

    Yes, the battles lack finesse but when it comes to bringing the series to life this is one game that will not fail fans of the Straw Hat Pirates.

    Luffy's newest voyage isn't one for the ages, but it still offers up plenty of goodhearted fun.

    I really haven't played too many anime-based games. That may be because a vast majority of them are sub-par. Not all of them, of course, just most. Being a big fan of One Piece, I looked forward to this game getting a U.S. release date when it was released in Japan back in 2006. However, in 2006, One Piece was still being dubbed by 4Kids, so I was conflicted as of the fate of a US release. As of late, FUNimation has gotten the US rights to One Piece, and one of the first things they did was announce a US release date for an English dubbed version of Unlimited Adventure. Which is one of many things this game got right, it uses FUNimation's new voice cast, and they sound great. A fan of the new dub (which began airing on Toonami in September 2007) will instantly notice the characters voices. Not only do the dub actors voice their respective characters (quite nicely I must add), they also both re-voice characters that appeared in the 4Kids dub, and characters that haven't appeared in the US dub at all. Gameplay-wise, the game is pretty fun. Each of the eight Straw Hat Pirates start out with only one or two attacks, but quickly gain new ones as they progress. Motion-control is used for things like fishing and bug-catching, but also some special attacks as well. It might get repetitive to use the same attacks again and again, and starting out with only one or two attacks might end up with you taking a little bit of damage early on. The levels, while not overly massive, are still pretty big, and it can get somewhat easy to get lost. You do find maps, but you might get lost a few times before you do. And one flaw with the big levels is that you cannot save in them, and must find your way back to your "camp" in order to heal and save. It'll get annoying, especially if you urgently have to stop playing. I might be biased, but I like Unlimited Adventure. Check it out if you're a fan of the show. And if you aren't, it's still worth a look, at least.… Expand

    The fan in me loves this. Great move sets to beat up enemies, epic boss battles, a unique level raising system, and it is fun. The game however gets repetitive quick with too much fetch questing, level grinding, and a bare bones two player option but overall it's a fun game. Although monotonous it can be enjoyed.… Expand
