Simply fantastic Wii Fighting game that requires the motion controls.
Unlike most fighting games, this is one your family and friends can get in to. Hacking at somebody is as simple as swiping your Wiimote (vertical and horizontal attacks) - striking them harder requires pressing the A button whilst doing the same. Large attacks? Hold B.
The fun of the game comes not from its difficulty of mastering combos (there is no real difficulty that we found), but from mastering how and when to use the moves you have.
It is gratifying to pull off the super moves of each character by using familiar movements that all characters employ. With practice you get a handle on what each character does and how best to play them.
Unlocking content (new characters, stages & costumes) is easy enough.
Sadly, you can't copy your save onto the SD card (at least in the Japanese Import version) so you can't transfer this game if you Wii dies nor download saves off of teh interwebs.
The graphics are good, but the stages are empty. There are no obstacles, no environment, just old PSX/PS1 Tekken style stages that you never seem to find the edge to. This was a bit jarring after getting used to the excellent Dragonball Z Budukai Tenkaichi 2 on the Wii.
Still, because this game uses the Wii's controls (DBZ2 was impossible to play without a Classic or GameCube controller), and it's combo system is easy, it ends up being more fun.
There's just something more exciting about gesticulating about with your Wiimote while fighting your friends in a game that's so simple to learn the moves they feel they can pick up and play it - yet so difficult to master they won't beat you unless you let them.
Another bonus is the fact that there are quite a few female characters; DBZ2 had about 4 out of 129!
