    Jugabilidad
    - Sin duda en este apartado nos encontramos un juego muy pulido, no es demasiado difícil entender su mecánica, ni sufrimos en exceso con el mando en las manos cuando tenemos que movernos y maniobrar con los distintos personajes. Si bien es cierto que hay veces que que todo parece un poco lento y encajamos golpes que no deberíamos por la imposibilidad de cancelar ataques y    Jugabilidad

Si bien es cierto que hay veces que que todo parece un poco lento y encajamos golpes que no deberíamos por la imposibilidad de cancelar ataques y defendernos a tiempo.
    Gráficos
    -En este apartado, su estilo gráfico de dibujo animado juega muy a su favor. Es difícil que se vean mal unos dibujos coloreados. Nada de lo que podamos quejarnos aquí.
    Música
    - Un fantástico punto sin duda, toda la música original de la serie, ataca directamente al corazón y es simplemente fantástico.
    Historia
    - Juego largo, como deben ser, con variedad de tareas que poder realizar. Nos encontramos con los personajes principales de la saga y su combate contra todos ellos. Si ya se conoce la historia, ya se sabe lo buena que es.
    Multijugador
    - El viejojuego carece de este apartado, por lo que no hay nada que decir.
    Duración
    - Muy buena. Es un juego para experimentar toda la saga pero siendo nosotros los personajes, justo lo que se podía esperar de este videojuego. Era una serie larga, es un juego largo.
    Innovacion
    - No es un juego que rompa barreras de ninguna clase. Se podría decir que es como cualquier otro juego, buscar, recolectar, matar y volver a empezar. No es algo malo, pero no hay nada destacable.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game could have been much better, if only they added COOP. Even if they did not they could have added custom characters. The combat is repetitive with the opponent repeating the same attacks without giving you time to charge ki or move. Even when using burst the opponent is unaffected. Also, you cant switch between character until finishing the game, some characters are unplayable as they can only be used for support. And some side quests can only be played as certain characters. Even when you have finished the game and are roaming in the open world you cant use attacks instead of ki blasts. You are also repetitively ambushed in the open world when you are trying to roam around. The dragon balls have very limited wishes. Some battles such as the great ape Vegeta fight had hitboxes that were impossible to hit. During some missions, you are unable to leave. Doing some missions causes you to be unable to complete other missions without finishing the game.Opponents also have an unfair amount of health compared to the player and have attacks that can deal half a bar of health. Some combos do not do any damage even though they re are shown as hitting the opponent… Expand

    The story aspect is awesome. Lots of detail and scenes that weren't included in the anime and the DBZ encyclopaedia is one of the best in game lore I've seen.

    That's where it pretty much excels at. Everything else is pretty sub par. The combat is lacklustre, I can spam blasts with all fighters to win most battles (similar to Xenoverse). The AI are pretty dumb as they strafe into your blasts. There's only one combo per character where you just pretty much tap the punch button with no variation. The Budokai Tenkaichi games at least had some combo variations and even some throw moves.

    The divided open world is large but the things to do is really basic. The fishing mini game is rubbish and hover car racing? Cmon! Collecting the Dragon Balls is just not rewarding (No I don't want to fight the Ginyu Squad again!!).

    The RPG elements is weak. No gear to equip and it's just unlocking skills when you hit a certain level and you fight ghost figures of yourself to unlock new moves.

    Overall, if you are new to DBZ you will enjoy the epic story. I really thought they would get the fighting right since they've release a million versions of fighting games since the 90s.

    Calling this game an RPG is a joke. It's an action adventure game with very little RPG elements.    … Expand

    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

    RPG: Mas como um gamer, posso dizer que o jogo está longe de ser perfeito, ruim não é. Fazer um RPG de Dragon Ball e fazê-lo funcional não é uma ideia ruim, porém, o jogo se torna maçante em certo tempo de gameplay, andar pra lá e pra cá, enfrentando inimigos genéricos foi meio chato pra mim, o mapa é grande e retrata bem a Terra do anime, porém, não tem tanta variedade de coisas pra se fazer, o que torna a exploração frustrante, as missões secundárias são bem parecidas e não existe uma vontade de "quero mais".

    Lutas: Pra mim, de longe, um dos melhores Dragon Ball nesse quesito, as lutas são incríveis, divertidas e os efeitos são muito bons, apesar de ter seus problemas, o que chega a irritar em certas horas, como a falta de poise nos inimigos quando estão carregando um ataque (eles podem te cancelar, mas você não pode cancelar o ataque deles, estranho, não? Além de frustrante, pois não ocorre vez ou outra, e sim em todos os combates).

    Técnico: Em requisitos técnicos o jogo não deixa a desejar, não vi muitos bugs e parece ser bem polido, apesar da câmera ser esquisita e entrar na terra as vezes, não é algo recorrente mas incomoda quando acontece. Os loadings estão por toda parte e isso é realmente irritante, vi que no lançamento estava pior e eles estão consertando, porém, como estão em todo lugar, chega a ser chato, sempre que uma cutscene acaba, é loading, algumas vezes sair de um mapa pequeno ou entrar precisa de loading, isso irrita e frustra (perdi a vontade de jogar algumas vezes por isso).

    É um jogo bom, nada demais, tem seus problemas e erros, reconta a história que já vimos centenas de vezes e nunca cansamos. Recomendo esperar o preço baixar pra comprar, e só compre se você for realmente fã de Dragon Ball, pois apesar dos problemas, ainda tem o carisma e a nostalgia que as vezes só Dragon Ball proporciona.    … Expand

    This is a great game and it’s apparent that the critic score is inaccurate with much more favorable user feedback. It is worth the money if you have spend a good amount of time playing any other dragon ball game. It’s not perfect but the fact that you can feel immersed in the actual anime is what makes this game special

    The game is ostensibly expansive, giving one both a sense of scale and claustrophobia.

The world is divided into sections that are open to exploration but the fact that one has to open the world map option to move between sections gets annoying quite fast. Secondly, the side quests are limited with regards to their availability. Each open at a particular “episode” in the story and closes by the ending of either that or a few subsequent ones (usually within 1-3 eps). This makes it nigh impossible to return to and obtain the the rewards therein (some of them truly help in powering up and exploration too!). However, this adds to the replay value of the story and each side quest time window is accessible through the story menu. The side quests are also quite repetitive and usually involve a Kamehameha to the face but are nevertheless a treat for fans of the series. The fighting mechanic is also limited in the number and types of combos allowed yet explosive enough to include various types of attacks (KI, vanishing, physical, homing, etc). The story is definitely one to cherish and relive with multiple playable characters, part formations and exploration that gives a taste of being a Z warrior. Here’s to hoping that cyber connect improves some features with an update and releases an improved sequel/DLC involving the “super” saga.… Expand

    Amazing game, made for fans. Great experience reviving the complete dbz, with all histories included, the sayans, Freeza, Cell and Majin Boo. The battles are fun and the cinematics exciting. There are a few bugs and the sidequests are there just to fill, but doesn't spoil the game.

    I'm not the biggest dragon ball fan, I've only seen dragon ball z and some of the original, but even I can say this is a great game. The combat is the most fun I've played in a game in a long time, flying around the world of dragon ball is breath takeing. Even if you dont care for dragon ball or anime this is a good game for everyone just if you like videogames.

    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.
