Again I will say that Game Cube has some really fun sports meeting that just can’t be duplicated. My kids turned up their noses when they saw this one arrive but soon they were all fighting over the controller. Fun game.

The first One Piece party game ever was this one, and it’s sad seeing gaming sites bashing on it. It’s in fact innovative and very fun. You can play a penetrate game where you start your character, and play a minigame for the center panel. Whoever wins the game gets the panel. Then they pick the next panel to wager, and so on and so on. But, if you win a captain panel and get two panels across from eachother, then you get anything between the line they intersect. And if you get another captain panel, then you can get even more. What’s splendid is that even if it seems like you’re at a total defeat, win the right game at the right game and you could completely dominate the battlefield. There are lots of minigames, most fun. There are some where you walk up a mountain bowing to hiking bears and attacking rabbits, try to find a buff panda dude with a spyglass, play a game of darts, and even as quirky as trying to run up a ledge on what appears to be some sort of Chocobo knockoff. But they all will keep you entertained for sure. This is a must buy for all party gamers that like One Piece. You may reflect it’s a small wierd, but it takes a right blue One Piece fan to fully know the concept of Eiichiro Oda’s crazy and wacky phenomenon that is One Piece. Have fun!

Early reviews from the major gaming sites seem to be trashing this game, and I reflect it’s a bit unfair. One Piece: Pirates’ Carnival is your basic Mario Party-stylishness penetrate game. Pick your character and participate in a bunch of button-mashing mini sports meeting. There is a decent strategic element, as the rules play kind of like “Othello” where you can steal your opponents squares and winnings. And the One Piece license is place to excellent use here: it’s fun to see how they’ve reimagined scenes from the manga to fit the party game format, and its a kick seeing your favourite characters in buckled/chibi/cel-shaded stylishness. And there’s lots of voiceovers from the cast (which may or may not be a excellent thing if you don’t like the 4Kids dub).
Where I felt the game came up small was that the mini-sports meeting aren’t as diverse as in Mario party. There are some innovative ones, but mostly it’s a 1 vs 3 scenario where one player controls a powerful boss character while the other 3 try to foil him. After awhile, these type of sports meeting start to feel the same. And like all American releases, some of the make pleased has been removed from the Japanese version because the series isn’t as far ahead here. But we’ve come to expect that by now.
If you like One Piece, I really do recommend this (or the Japanese version) as a buy. It’s droll, and it’s fun to come back to with friends every so often. Just be aware that it doesn’t offer anything new from Mario Party, and you should be fine.

If you delight in mini-game multiplayer fun like the Mario Party series, then One Piece Pirates’ Carnival will be right up your alley.
Where Mario Party has a main penetrate with a “path” like Life or CandyLand, in Pirates’ Carnival your main penetrate is a grid, more like Othello. You’re trying to turn squares to your affect and capture as many as you can.
In order to win a given square, you have to play a mini-game. This is quite fun in a situation where other people are around to play with, or you can play against the computer to hone your skills. You can choose to play as a variety of male or female characters.
If you’re playing against the computer, you can even set the difficulty level of each of the 3 other players. So you can start with them all on simple, and at a snail’s pace work your way up with some simple and some harder.
The mini-sports meeting are pretty fun, and involve the One Piece crew. You can slide around in a ring trying to bash each other out, sort of a cross between Sumo rules and sliding samurai sensibilities. Other sports meeting involve dodging missiles, racing, and other traditional mini-game tasks.
The graphics are practically excellent here, with rippling water, cel shaded graphics and characters from the series. The sounds match up well with the series, which depending on how fond you are of the US version, could be a excellent or terrible thing.
Because the game is fun multiplayer, and because you can ramp up the difficulty based on your own skills, the game can be played pretty much forever. There’s always a new challenge in the game. Unlike the path-based sports meeting like Mario Party, the strategic challenges of the main penetrate here are splendid for building up logic skills.
Now, there’s the caveat that if you don’t delight in Mario Party stylishness mini-sports meeting, you probably won’t delight in this either. It’s not a long, epic tale. It doesn’t involve complex keystrokes to trounce an enemy. But, if you’re up for light arcadey fun, and have friends you can hang out with for a few hours, certainly give Pirates’ Carnival a try.
