Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:Goku and the Z-Warriors return with the biggest line-up of fighters ever seen in a beat ‘em-up, with more than 120 different playable characters and massive four player battles for them to compete in.
The lowdown:
There’s so many Dragon Ball Z game around at the moment it’s easy to get confused with which is which. This isn’t actually anything to do with the Budokai series (the game’s called Sparking! Neo in Japan) but instead has a much greater emphasis on 3D movement in much larger and more interactive environments. The new levels are twice as big as the first game, making flight even more important than before, and allowing for a much less restrictive camera. The game allows you to recreate a huge number of specific moments from the show and in that sense is fare more realistic than the more ground based Budokai and Super Dragon Ball Z games.
Most exciting moment:
For fans the most important feature in the game is the ability to trigger character transformations and fusions mid-game. Not only is this more in keeping with the battles from the cartoon but it also adds a welcome strategic element to the gameplay, as you switch forms and take on a completely new set of abilities and moves.
Since you ask:
It’d take quite a bit of space to list all the characters but they include every character that’s ever been in a Dragon Ball Z video game before. There are also new additions including Android 13, Tapion, Metal Cooler, Pikkon, Sauzer, Zanya, Yajirobe and Cui and Pan and Ub from Dragon Ball GT.
The bottom line:
The biggest Dragon Ball Z game yet is a wet dream for anime fans.-HARRISON DENT
