Power Stone 2
Eidos Interactive has entered into a publishing agreement with Capcom for Power Stone 2 on Dreamcast throughout Europe and Australia.
Due for release in September, Power Stone 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Power Stone. The original Power Stone was released in September last year to coincide with the launch of Dreamcast and has since gone on to be one of the biggest selling games on Dreamcast. Power Stone 2 takes the revolutionary gameplay and stunning graphics of the first title and introduces several new elements. The game features simultaneous four-player combat, multi-tiered progressive levels, four new characters and the ability to use vehicles to inflict powerful attacks on opponents.
Power Stone 2 is set in the 19th century where superstitions and legends are alive and well. A mysterious floating castle emerges from the earth and casts a shadow over the entire world. The master of this castle is the evil Dr. Erode, who has captured all of the Power Stone fighters for reasons unknown. What is Dr Erode's diabolical plan? In Power Stone 2 a new adventure is about to begin!
