One Piece: Pirates' Carnival


The popular crew from One Piece take to the seas once more, this time in an Othello-style clash packed to the gills with mini-games

The loading isn't nearly as awful as in the Dreamcast's vile Sonic Shuffle, but it does add up and the lengthy gaps between actual gameplay still rankle. It can take upwards of an hour to finish a single game.

That said, kids probably won't mind much, and they're definitely the target audience here. Pirates' Carnival isn't spectacular in any one sense, but the solid mini-games and well-used license are enough to put it near the top of the distinctly uncompetitive party game genre.

You'll love
  • Solid mini-games entertain
  • Bit of strategy to keep you awake
  • Good use of the license
You'll hate
  • Load times really slow the pace
  • Good, but doesn't really excel
  • $40 is a bit steep for what you get
