From the producer of the acclaimed Street Fighter II
game comes Super Dragon Ball Z, a new, highly intense
fighting experience unlike any other Dragon Ball Z
game. Featuring an all new fighting system plus intense combos
for super damage, and multiple unique special attacks and
fighting styles for all 18 characters, this game gives players
a more hard-core 3D fighting experience in the air or on the
ground...
The
Dragon Ball Z games
are a bit of an acquired taste. While it's not essential that
you are familiar with the animated series, some familiarity
with the characters and Dragon Ball Z world will certainly
help you to appreciate the rather bizarre characters.
In
this, the latest instalment in the games franchise, you get
the chance to master the unique fighting styles of 18 mighty
Dragon Ball Z warriors in the fighting engine designed
by Noritaka Funamizu, producer of Street Fighter II.
Unleash lightning-quick combos and brutal finishing moves.
Steal your enemy's special moves and use them as your own
and pummel your opponent in highly destructible environments.
The
developers have tried to make everything look and play like
the original anime. And to be honest they've done a great
job. But, and this is a big but, after several hours of playing
you start to think that there should be something else - that
the game is missing something that you can't quite put your
finger on. And then it hits you... this game is way too easy.
By simply finding a special move that works you can beat your
opponent by simply repeating that same move over and over
again. And, as the levels pass by, and your opponents tend
to block more and more, it's not long before the whole thing
becomes dull - with you trying to time your attacks to avoid
your opponent's blocks, while at the same time blocking their
attacks.
There
are various different modes that you can play, but none are
overly impressive. The main arcade and the Vs mode are probably
the only two that you'll really want to play more than a couple
of times.
Dragon
Ball Z fanatics will probably lap this up, the rest of
the gaming world will probably wonder what all the fuss is
about. For me, personally, it wasn't a patch on previous games
in the franchise. It feels like a step backwards to be honest.
