This is the typical DBZ game that you have come to expect... fast and frustrating. Most people might disagree about the "frustrating" part, but guess what people? I DON'T HAVE FINGERS OF STEEL!!! This game hurts your fingers almost as much as Guitar Hero 3!!!

Another reason why this game is frustrating is the fact that the opponent always does Dragon Rush!!! Dragon Rush is a combo that is difficult to do (IMO), but if you do accomplish it you will engage in a long cutscene that could do A LOT of damage (a little more than a whole meter of health). I would usually win a match, but in the very end I end up losing because the opponent would repeat Dragon Rush over and over!!!

To counter a Dragon Rush you have to guess which button the opponent guessed (x, o, square, or triangle). If you guess wrong, you guess one of 3 buttons. If you guess wrong AGAIN you choose one of 2 buttons. With each wrong answer you get more and more damage. BTW GUESS WHAT!?!? The game is fixed!!! About 80% of the time I would guess the wrong button until I need to choose between two buttons which I would get right about 40% of the time, unfortunately the damage has already been dealt.

Despite this I would rate this a good game,... but don't get it if you have arthritis!!!
