Dragon Ball: Origins 2

Overall, even considering the frustrations, this game is above average and if you love the source material you're going to love the game even more.

Richer, more versatile and more playable with the addition of the cross/buttons handling, Dragon Ball : Origins 2 fixes most of the flaws from the previous episode.

Despite some minor flaws, Dragon Ball: Origins 2 remains a good game and easily recommendable to any fan of the anime.

Aside from the actual battle sequences themselves, Dragon Ball Origins 2 reeks with a lack of polish and feels aesthetically bland at times.

Deeply average action adventuring which is fine for fans but be warned: it's very repetitive. [Sept 2010, p.88]

Why can't film tie-ins be as nicely done as this anime spin-off, eh? [Aug 2010, p.73]

The characters are as amusing as ever, the story is easy to follow and broken up enough to keep it interesting, and there's always a fight to be had (complete with Goku getting hit, which I think could be considered child abuse in some areas). It's just a shame that the actual fighting is just as boring as it's ever been.

It still looks the part of a more action-based Zelda, but this sequel has some serious deja vu issues.

Fans of Akira Toriyama's celebrated manga series are sure to be pleased by beautifully stylized graphics, an above-average fighting system and a whimsical storyline pulled out of the manga. Anyone else however, is likely to find Goku's adventure lacking the variation needed to truly stand out among the handheld console's many comparable releases.

The good does outshine the bad in Origins 2, just not enough to make it worth most people's while.
