Pro-g: 7

Pro-g.co.uk gives the Power Stone Collection a 7 out of 10 in their review. The verdict? It needs local players with their own copies of the game on their own PSPs to be really fun.

Quote:
And this is Power Stone Collection's biggest problem. Without online play, in order to get the most from the game you need to know and frequently visit someone who owns a PSP and a copy of the game, and ideally two more people on top of that. A game sharing option is in the menu for Power Stone 2, but this is sadly just a demo and doesn't let you play against PSP owners who don't own the game.
...
As a port of a popular fighting series, Power Stone Collection is excellent, but as an alternative to the Dreamcast classics you might have tucked away in a box under you bed, it fails. Multiplayer is at the heart of the Power Stone experience, and on the PSP without online play, two or four-player games are never as likely to occur. If you know for sure that you can arrange multiplayer games, then picking up Power Stone Collection is a no-brainer, as the gameplay is a fun as it ever was, but solo players will be left wanting.

It mentions unique features over the original Dreamcast version, as well as one interesting feature: a screen shot mode. Pause the game, go into screen shot mode, move the camera, and then take a snapshot.
