Battle Stadium D.O.N. is only released in Japan and features characters from Dragonball Z, One Piece, and Naruto (hence, the title). Anyway, this game is actually very good. It features Super Smash type of battle. You use the X button to jump, Square for a melee attack, etc. The controls are actually quite easy to master. There aren't any other controls to remember and each character has a set number of attacks that don't need to be remembered or unlocked. The graphics are really good. It's cel-shaded, so only a few can complain. And I really need to note that Luffy looks better here than his Grand Battle/Grand Adventure counterpart (he looks more realistic to the anime than the cutesy-mutated GB/GA look). Other than that, verythings so easy. The only thing that makes it difficult is the way you unlock other characters. You use some sort of a luck-based way to obtain other characters. And believe me, this is very hard to do. And unless you know Japanese, doing the missions are very hard. You are given an objective which you have to do before ending a battle. Other things that I don't like about the game is the few selection of characters. They should have added more since this game is a mixture of the three animes. Anyway, the multiplayer battle is great and is great in parties and gatherings. Its frantic and fun. Really, you gotta try it.
