Things were really peaceful until the Sumo wrestler moved into the apartment next to the Cat lady. I saw trouble coming a mile away. But it would have been total chaos if I had put him next to the Ninja.
Regulating happiness in order to build a honking apartment building is all part of the job in the new puzzler One Piece Mansion from Capcom. Sort of like a cross between The Sims and Tetris, you have to balance out where tenants live in an apartment complex in order to keep building upon the apartment. Moving around the tenants can be done at any time, but the consequences of your actions will lead to shifting moods and tempers that may only be satisfied by getting rid of other neighbors. Each game can be very different from the last and the challenge of building more floors will ensure lots of replay value. We?ll have to wait for the review to see if all this weirdness actually adds up to a great puzzle game, but in the meantime check out the wacky screens and look for One Piece Mansion this Fall.
