Better then Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes, but that's not that hard. :D
User Rating: 7 | Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road PSP
So, the PSP-exclusive Shin Budokai series' second (last?) installment is a good game. The story is pretty good, and, seriously, before this game, nobody thought about how Trunks managed to stop Majin Buu alone. So it's a much more needed game then the previous one. The graphics are very good, mirroring the design of the anime very well. The voice acting is terrific, no matter which version we're talking about(Vegeta, in particular, sounds awesome in both Japanese and English). The game doesn't have enough variety to be called a proper fighting game, but it's not exactly such a mindless button-mashing fest as Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes. Instead, the game is somewhere in the middle, easy to pick up but you can still learn enough new stuff on the way. A very big surprise was Bardock being playable in the game, a HUGE bonus, if you ask me (personally, Bardock is my favorite DBZ character). He is incorporated into the story very well, so for the first time, he really meets Goku. In order to fit Bardock, Pikkon, Future Gohan, Frieza, Cell, Broly... they had to make it a bit strange (sometimes I had a 'WTF???' feeling while playing the game), but it works out well in the end. So if you like DBZ, go get it, but serious fighting game fans can find better ones for the system.
