Reviewed on 2008-07-17 Quite enjoyable It really brings the characters off the page like the anime but in your control. Hours of fun, with multiple characters and a solid story line.

Reviewed on 2008-06-23 One of the best (One Piece) games ever! A One Piece RPG/Fighting Wii Game! Who would've thought possible? For the solo game you gather items to energize your new found gem in order to unlock new places or bosses. In the multiplayer mode, you duke it out with your favorite One Piece heroes and villians that you got in the solo mode. This game goes from Luffy's village all the way to Water 7 so there will be no skeleton nakama. If you like One Piece, this game is a must buy. If you don't, try it out for the adventure mode. During the solo mode, you can also catch fish/other water-dwelling animals with your rod or catch insects with your net. At >40 bucks who wouldn't want to buy this game?

Reviewed on 2008-04-22 An adventure you won't soon forget! To be a game based off an animated program, this game really has alot going for it. The battle system can get pretty old and is rather easy, but its well balanced by extremely tough boss fights that you really have to think through. Its not a game for kids in the least bit. This is a serious adventure game that you really have to think about to beat. That being said, it has a ton of content and is a decent length. Its seriously worth being picked up by fans of the show, anime fans in general, or people who own a Wii and simply want a good lengthy adventure!

Reviewed on 2008-03-03 Wii Love One Piece (Done Right) Finally, after all the previous butchered games released about One Piece so far, Unlimited Adventure delivers! Bandai Namco, and also Funimation for providing its current cast of voice actors, bring us an almost-fully unedited game featuring characters we've seen so far here in America, and some we have yet to see in the manga and anime. New characters introduced start with the eigth member of Luffy's crew - Franky the Cyborg. Yes, I said "cyborg" (the creator, Eiichiro Oda, is a weird guy). He's the crew's shipwright, as he built their ship the Thousand Sunny (The Merry Go, sadly, is gone by the time this game takes place). His abilities include extending his one arm on a chain similar to Luffy's Gum Gum Pistol attack, and he can spit numerous nails at his enemies. Fans consider this as a whetting of your appetites for when he makes his anime and manga debut over here. The game has 8 stages, one of which is where you recover your power and also save, and make cool foods and items. Each of the other stages have two bosses (plus a hidden one) you have to defeat, each one brought to life via the memories of the Straw Hats and also a mysterious orb they keep with them when the game starts. Friends, enemies, rivals, no one is spared in trying to keep you from accomplishing your goal. Some bosses you have to fight again at full health, once you beat them a first time, that is. Others, when they have half their life bar depleted, kick it up a notch and start using deadlier moves (including one-hit kill moves). As you play, certain spots give you flashbacks into the lives of the Straw Hats (including right before a boss fight) to give you a better idea of the Straw Hats. Since they are randomized, though, they are out of order and those not familiar with the series will be a bit confused. And those who haven't been keeping up with the storylines in Japan will be lost when you face certain bosses. For example, the bosses Kaku, Spandam,and Rob Lucci (all three from the CP9 Saga, one of the greatest parts of OP by far). The gameplay can be a bit tedious since some of the characters don't react fast enough after pulling off certain moves, and the bug collecting for item-making does get frustrating, but the game is fun all around and the voice-acting is superb. If you'r a fan of OP, you should give this game a try.

Reviewed on 2008-02-19 A new One Piece adventure One Piece: Unlimited Adventure is the newest game in the franchise for the Nintendo Wii, and it's also the first title to be localized in the US by FUNimation. Not only does this mean better voice acting, but the game is intact from it's original Japanese presentation, with characters, scenes, and references that the english dub won't cover for another 100+ episodes. So enjoy the ride, but beware of spoilers! Unlimited Adventure is an action-adventure game much like Zelda. Luffy and co. find themselves exploring a strange new island, unlocking its secrets via a magic orb. There are enemies to fight, moves to learn and master, and items to collect and combine. There's definitely a fun RPG element here, and the controls are solid with a bit of wiimote waggle for the fishing and bug catching. The graphics don't push the power of the wii, but the art style is true to the series and characters have lots of animations. The good voice work and music round out the presentation. Unfortunately, Unlimited Adventure can get very tedious at times. The game offers little direction on what to do or where to go, so you often go on aimless explorations through generic environments hoping you'll notice something you hadn't seen before. Powering up your magic orb to advance requires the collection of arbitrary items, many of which force you to collect the ingredients, backtrack to your camp to create, and return to the spot to use. While backtracking, you'll be forced to fight against multiple generic enemies, mindlessly button mashing until you gain enough experience to level up to the next attack. There's really not a whole lot of story to motivate you, either; the payoff exists in the occasional boss fight with classic One Piece villains like Arlong, Crocodile, and Bon Clay. These characters are then unlocked in vs. mode, a nice (if small) diversion from the main game. Overall, the care put into the localization makes Unlimited Adventure a no-brainer for One Piece fans, but it's a fairly standard game for everyone else.
