The Chaos of Power Stone 2

I just think it becomes one of the best like multiplayer experiences on this console that's interesting I mean look I'm a person who prefers the first one oh really over the second one yeah but I get all of those reasons for why you prefer the second one. level the playing field by like giving you obstacles to get through and then they add even more chaos on top of that which is fun. The other night when we were playing with four people like we had great time it was really coolYeah But there is something to me about that first power stone game being a little bit more I would say it's interesting because it's less focused as you said.
