Players can interact with Sanji in the kitchen, with Zoro on the ship's deck to train, and with Chopper in his medical offices to watch his examinations. They can also collect items from the crew by spotting them in the environment and hovering over them. One Piece Grand Cruise is an interactive, virtual reality game released in May 2018 in Japan, North and South America, and Europe.[1][2] A demo of the game was available at Tokyo One Piece Tower. Paradise stretches from the Twin Cape to the Sabaody Archipelago. Of the few pirate crews that are actually strong and skilled enough to hold their own in the Grand Line, a very small number of them actually make it all the way to Sabaody.

Additionally, the Grand Line is home to the world's most powerful people and groups, including the Three Great Powers. Only one group, the Roger Pirates, has managed to fully sail across the Grand Line, and this achievement is what caused their captain Gol D. Roger to be labeled as the "Pirate King". This is way more experience then game but if you are into One Piece, you’ll probably appreciate what is offered up here.

The 7th Guest VR
Shallow combat, short cut scenes and an emphasis on repetition is the name of the game (or experience) here. Besides the subtitle issue, my other contention would be the over sexualized female characters. I get that this is just how things are done on the other side of the world, but for me it was laughably ridiculous and unnecessary.
There are seven different paths that one can choose from to sail through. The clashing weather and magnetism of those first seven islands cause insane sailing conditions that are beyond nearly anything else in the first half of the Grand Line. There is nothing better then some good old-fashioned fan service, provided of course that you are a fan of whatever it is being thrown your way. ONE PIECE Grand Cruise aims to be a VR taste of the ONE PIECE universe that I am admittedly totally unfamiliar with. It’s an odd blend of anime, pirates, comedy and some of the most flamboyant characters I have seen and even after playing through this title, I still really have no idea what the heck is happening in this world.

The 1st takes you through 1 of 2 cut scenes before battling pirates that hurl not just canon balls your way, but weights and meat and I think I even saw a kitchen sink. The second section gives you 4 more cut scenes, and has you battle a giant Kraken, which really just involves spamming the fire button until you win. After that battle you a greeted with longer cut scene where the main hero faces off against I’m guessing the main villain from the series. The scenes have to be unlocked through menu selection, but once you have viewed them all, you can revisit them any time you want. Aim your cannon with your Dualshock’s awkward motion sensors, press X like there’s no tomorrow and win the game. That’s all you have to do here, unless you’re curious to find out who developed this masterpiece on the credits section.

His favourite genres are JRPGs, Fighting Games, and Platformers. Grand Cruise is expensive for what it has to offer with barely half an hour of playtime. As cool as it is to become a Straw Hat Pirate, the two barebones mini-games are boring to play and look pretty bad. Players board the Thousand Sunny as new deckhands and meet different members of the crew. An unidentified person speaking through Den Den Mushi acts as the main guide and narrator for the duration of the game.
It just comes off as a cheap way to gather a younger male audience so if way over sexualized women are an issue for you, they are here. Players are given the ability to hang out in different parts of the ship with different members of the Strawhat crew. Each crew member talks about themselves and what they do on the ship while asking the player a variety of “yes or no” questions. It’s nothing too deep, but bonding with Zoro over sword-fighting, or with Chopper over medicine will make any fan’s day. There’s something truly surreal about looking around while talking to these characters from a first-person perspective, a feeling that can be attributed to just how exciting virtual reality can be. During combat, players operate cannons to shoot at enemy pirate ships and large enemies like the Kraken.

February is the Month of Anime and we're kicking off the month with exclusive deals, flash sales and special promotions from your favorite video game retailers! We have an amazing line-up of anime game titles that are now available or will be coming soon. Way Too Many Games is an up and coming gaming site run by gamers for gamers. Established in January 2017 Way Too Many Games began with the goal to provide objective reviews and better represent independent developers and niche titles, eventually expanding into board games as well.
Being able to look at One Piece characters in virtual reality might be interesting for the first minute or so, but this game is simply devoid of fun. A Log Pose for the first half of the Grand Line has only a single needle. Alternatively, a Log Pose for the second half has three needles. Each of the three needles locks on to the magnetic waves of one of three different islands.
They are divided into two teams, one red and one blue, competing for higher scores. Sanji and Zoro get into a dispute, and players use the cannons to choose which of them will defend against a giant cannonball. Fans of One Piece will get quite a lot out of Grand Cruise because of their love for the series, while people looking for an objectively good game will likely not be pleased with the experience. Like many franchise-based VR titles, Grand Cruise is focused entirely on letting players step into the world of the series they love, making it entirely hit-or-miss. Armed with a DS4 or lone Move controller, which is really only needed for the combat section of the game, you just choose which area of the ship you wish to visit and watch a scene unfold.
Players also use the cannon to choose which Straw Hat Pirates will complete actions like attacking enemies or deflecting projectiles. The content presented is all fan service and I’m just not a fan of One Piece…at least not yet. That said, I think there is just enough content here to warrant a full priced purchase if you are fan of this seemingly insane series, just keep in mind it’s more experience then game. First off, all the voices are in Japanese with English titles floating at the bottom of your vision. This alone is not an issue as I assume it keeps the characters and their eccentricities intact.
Whenever you move your head the subtitles take a second or two to float back into position so while you may want to look around in the game, doing so will more than likely sacrifice the conversation. This is especially true in the canon firing sections when you will be too focused on targeting incoming projectiles to even notice the words popping up below you. If you are interested in what the characters are saying, you need to pay attention to the sub titles and ignore everything else. There are plenty of small details for dedicated fans to notice as well, from Sogeking’s mask and Brook guitar on display to Usopp’s Dressrosa face occasionally shooting out of your cannon. It’s clear to see that Grand Cruise was made by developers who are familiar with and passionate about the world and story of One Piece, which is incredibly important in an experience which lives or dies by how it pleases One Piece fans. The Japanese voice actors and actresses for the Strawhat crew all reprise their roles alongside Doflamingo’s actor, which definitely helps in this regard.
Summary Come aboard and experience the pirate’s life in One Piece Grand Cruise for PS VR. Be prepared to be swept away in the first One Piece VR experience. Players choose whether they want to visit Nami's Quarters to talk with Nami and Robin or the ship's Galley to talk with Sanji and Chopper. After they finish their conversation, the players return to the deck of the Sunny to Fight the Marines in a cannon battle, shooting to deflect cannonballs and barrels sent toward them by a fleet of Marine ships.
