The last serie that deserve some love as well ( Either from you or Arc system works) Merci.… Expand

    Okay I'm 20 hours into the game, I just defeated Frieza and I believe it's time to review the game.

    What critics are criticizing is basically the "blandness and similarity" in side quests, but what they fail to understand that most of those side quests are linked to an old character from the first Dragon Ball which puts a big wide smile on my face and brings up those nostalgia vibes.

    What critics are criticizing is basically the "blandness and similarity" in side quests, but what they fail to understand that most of those side quests are linked to an old character from the first Dragon Ball which puts a big wide smile on my face and brings up those nostalgia vibes. All of them are fetch quests? Nope, and even if they are, I'm gladly doing it, it makes me happy to fly around and live in the world of Dragon Ball.

    Battle? This game is very oriented towards PVE, and its very true to the story, it means Vegeta is difficult as hell, it means Frieza is difficult as hell, it means you obliterate Frieza when you turn into Super Saiyan. Every character that is playable with, or playable against, has a different set of moves, animations, comments, aura, and uniqueness. One single physical attack button? Hell yes and it's perfect, I'm sick of those "light attack-strong attack" or "punch-kick" fighting games. One button is enough to make a combo and that gives room for other actions. Transformation on the fly is awesome. Support characters control is awesome.

    Intermission is bland? Hell no, there's lots of activities to do and it feels like a vacation after so much battles in each arc, you relax during that time, collect orbs, fish, cook, train, increase your level, learn new moves, and talk to every single character, because they always have something new to say, go out and discover Dragon Ball memories, see how Krillin is reading adult magazines and Launch turns blond when she sneezes.

    All in all, this is the best Dragon Ball experience ever, it has everything I want and more, I couldn't ask for any change, controls are difficult? You just need time to get used to them and then you become a pro, didn't Goten had issues with flying! Ki detection is great, power levels are true to the anime.

    Don't read those stupid IGN, GameSpot and whatever reviews, they are reviewing it as a game, but this isn't any game, this is a Dragon Ball game, see what Dragon Ball fans are saying, go buy the game if you haven't yet, you won't regret it, actually you will regret it if you don't.

    Thanks Bandai Namco and Thanks to Cyberconnect 2. Great job guys.    … Expand

    While yeah it may be flawed at times but it's a fantastic dragonball z experience that's littered with nostalgia and extra lore , Combat is basic but enough with enough variation to keep it fresh while the upgrade skill trees and training ground is great and adds a layer of depth.

    For me and now this is the best DB game. RPG here is not what I've expected but it doesn't ruin the game for me. Main advantage here for me is atmosphere. Hope we will see more DLC soon :3

    Despite the numerous flaws, Kararot still offers a wonderful retelling of the main story, above-average graphics, and a great soundtrack, so it’s worth picking up for established and new fans of the series alike.

    Even though DBZ: Kakarot retells the same story the franchise has been telling for decades, it manages to do so in creative new ways for hardcore anime fans.

    A very few games can compare to Kakarot in terms of sheer love towards the original series and storytelling qualities. Not without its set of flaws that leave only regret not being even greater, Kakarot still manages to be a great game for fans. No, scratch that. It manages to be an amazing game! May they not stop here, and deliver more and more of love-letters like this. If it goes in the right direction, the next one could definitely be legendary.
