Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit Kamehameha’s onto next-gen consoles with Goku and the crew. Check out the deets in our review.
beef with the story is that much of the dialogue wasted by "101 ways for characters to scream various syllables" that really don't need to be subtitled.
Bursting Limits? 2s5pz
After coming to grips with our disappointment in the Z Chronicles; we discovered that graphics expert players may have their hands full with lucky button mashers; as the control scheme effectively makes the game accessible to fighters of all skill levels. Even newbs can execute dramatic "Special KO's" with the relatively forgivable command timing. In a nutshell, this game may appeal more to new fans as a rental; just to check out what the series is all about. To hardcore DBZ fans, this title will of course be a must have addition to their library.
Thumbs Up: 4w5l5w
- Story mode is moderate length (covers three of 15 DBZ series sagas)
- Cool animation! Frenzied fighting style is true to the anime roots
- Huge power moves are exciting to watch
- Six difficulty levels for a range of player skill
- 21 DBZ characters to unlock for all gameplay modes
Thumbs Down: 4q5os
- Z Chronicles (story mode) sagas have a confusing number of POV (points of view) that are hard for new fans to follow
- Many of the power moves are quite cheap and easily abused
- Online battles commonly suffer from lag
- Proof that if you slap a "DBZ" on a game title it will sell, no matter how many versions of the game have come before it
