This game is meant Only for Dragon Ball Z fans because you'll get confused about the story because it will only really make since to those who have read the comic book or watched the cartoon. This game is pretty good if your not a DBZ fan but if you are a DBZ fan than this game is really amazing. This is a fighting game which really makes since because the DBZ series seams like the only cartoon that should be a fighting game. The game play is alright because the controls are very simple from a kick button to a guard and punch button and a KI attack button which shoot out an energy beam.The game play may not be top of the notch because it doesn't feel as fast pace as you would think it should. The game play isn't bad but it does suffer from not being all to entertaining to people uninterested in the DBZ series. If your a fan of Dragon Ball Z than you'll be entertained for a long time but if you have no interest in the series you may not like this game. The graphics in this game are very well done because the character models replicate the real comic book and cartoon characters very well. The graphics do have there bad side such as the characters attacks look all the same which is sort of a dissapointment because it doesn't seem like each character has there own style of fighting. Overall the graphics are great which is cool because the other DBZ games graphics really sucked. The sound is also really good because all of the real acters voices are in this game which adds to the reall DBZ experience. The sound of the special attacks are very nice to hear. Not allo f the sound is good the annoucers voice which is in the cartoon is kinda annoying because it seems really corny. If your a DBZ fan than you know that the audio is really saved bye the voice acting because all of the major characters voices are there which is cool. Overall the audio is great which is cool because i think the audio is one of the most important parts of a video game. The value is pretty good but not to much reason to go back through the story line but since this is a fighting game it has two player which is cool because beating your friends at a game is really cool. This game is probably like $5-$15 now which is cool but remember this game is mostly targeted to DBZ fans.

The Good= Good graphics and audio, has a great cast of playable characters.
The Bad= This game is mostly for DBZ fans and game play could have been better.
