You may think you know where I’m going with this, but you’re only half right. It’s bombastic, exciting fights like these that have made One Piece one of the most beloved shonen series of our day. With stellar cel-shaded visuals and slick, stretchy animations, it looks like something straight out of the One Piece anime. The game starts off on a very promising note, with a cutscene depicting an intense, highly kinetic fight between two mighty pirates.
It clearly has some money behind it too, but sadly its impressive budget doesn’t seem to have been spent on gameplay. But it comes to us from Bandai Namco, and they have a good track record with anime games, especially titles based on Shonen Jump hits. We’re practically scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel. This is a licensed game base on an anime, after all.
One Piece: Unlimited World Red disappointed me.
