Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout is the first Dragon Ball title to come to the United States. As a personal fan of the show, I wasn't disappointed too much in the gameplay, but for anybody that doesn't know the show, it's horrendous.
A Dragon Ball fighting game should bring a lot of cool aspects to the fighting realm. For example, the ability to fly, or the ability to shoot energy beams across the screen. All of this is downsized by the slow pace and incredibly sluggish movement.
Graphics (5/10)
The characters stay true to the show, but everything else in the game is poorly patched together.
