Good two player game, but all in all it's a game made for fans...

Dragon Ball games haven't really had a good start. If I put it this way, it's good compared to it's predecessors. There is a story mode which let's you play almost all of the Z sagas except for the Majin Buu saga. The game mechanics are similar to what you can find in the tv-series. And you actually get to see cut-scenes like in the tv-series just completely in 3D. There is a tournament mode which let's you play by yourself or with you friends, so that you can enter the tournament and fight your friends in the tournament. I think that that actually would have been a good online feature. The game contains all of the original voice actors in the tv-series, so you don't have to worry about how Goku and his friends will sound like. You actually finish the story mode pretty fast, and you can collect the Dragon Balls just like in the series but in capsules. You can customize the characters with different types of capsules.(minor spoiler!) But if you manage to collect all Dragon Balls, then you can call upon the Dragon Shenlong and wish for a capsule that let's your character get all the abilities and double them upp. This might be the best Dragon Ball game ever created(not counting DBZB 2, 3 and tenkaichi). I would recommend to rent this one because if you aren't a fan of the tv-series you will most likely dislike it, so you'd be better off renting this one.

Thanks for reading this review :D
