Dragon Ball Z: Burst limit is like a plate overflowing with mediocre food. Good at first, but soon loses it's luster.
Firstly, the graphics are absolutely perfect. Everything looks better than I've ever seen it. They even look better than the anime itself.
Secondly, one of the main things I thought was nice was the drama pieces. A cut scene interrupts the battle and puts on a little show. Those were cool at first, but later on when you just want to get down to what you bought the game for, you'd rather kamehameha the game itself. For the first run through on the normal setting they are alright. As you start playing on a higher difficulty they're annoying since you're right into it then all of a sudden WHAM "look at me I R angwee!" If there were a way to turn off the drama piece cut scenes, and leave the buff's/debuff's do their thing, there wouldn't be any complaints.
For the voice acting, I'm kind of in the middle. Most was alright, although some of it is pretty atrocious. Not to mention that the words are not in sync with the characters lip movements. Except for the screams.. LOUD NOISES! Their attempt to dub the dialogue to make it half decent failed.
Time for the gameplay! The first run through was pretty easy, and too short. But most fighting games don't last that long story wise anyway. Most of the characters handle the same and the controls aren't too difficult. If you can fight with one, you can do it with anyone. Although not every fighter has as good of moves and finishes as the other. They all do around the same amount of damage, but some are easier to hit your opponent with. Except for a handful, if you've got a strategy to beat one character, then you've beat them all. The flying was pretty weak as well. There is no freedom like the other games. But you will find some enjoyment and challenge depending what mode you're fighting on. There are those moments of satisfaction in this game as well. It's not all bad.
Finally, online mode. The challenge level steps up a notch here if you come head to head with another seasoned player! But lag kills everything! Most of the matches I've played lagged, other than with people who live in the same continent. Say good-bye to those fast punches, it doesn't take Goku to dodge these ones.
The time spent to finish the game was pretty disappointing. Although stepping up to Very Hard Mode once your done makes it feel more like a challenge. But if you're not a die hard DBZ fan, it's not worth it to go through it again. The only reason I did was for the achievements.
Overall it's an alright game for those who want something different for a change. But if you want to play it, rent it first, unless you can find it in a bargain bin. You'll get everything you want from it within a day or two.
