    This game hurts. A lot. This has so much potential and when I saw the combat, I was extremely disappointed. The only reason this game gets a 2 and not a 1 is because of the potential of the open combat world, taking aspects from games like Budokai Tenkaichi and Raging Blast but making them more open and free. The big boss characters, again, have potential but when the combat is not funThis game hurts. A lot. This has so much potential and when I saw the combat, I was extremely disappointed. The only reason this game gets a 2 and not a 1 is because of the potential of the open combat world, taking aspects from games like Budokai Tenkaichi and Raging Blast but making them more open and free. The big boss characters, again, have potential but when the combat is not fun (coming from someone who played previous DBZ games) the experience doesn't stick. Sometimes, the A.I. is just braindead, and when I knock an enemy away to start a chase combo they don't react. The voice acting is good, but the writing isn't my taste, not like the show. And no LOCAL MULTIPLAYER? Why? What's the point of having big boss battles if I can't play with 4 other friends locally? I know there's a new developer working on this game (and as mentioned before, the promise of this game is undeniable), and unlike others, i'm hoping for a sequel. I'm hoping that the studio can take the potential and all the mistakes from this debut game and make a really really epic game, that will stand true to what we see in the anime. This is Dragon Ball Z, damnit. We deserve better games.… Expand

    I was so hyped for this game but then when it came out oh lord why?. The graphics and the characters look weird. the Soundtrack is awful and the controls feel wrong. Also they have way less Characters then in other Dbz Games.

    This game is utter crap. You can't transform into SSJ. Worst combat controls in any game I've ever played. Special moves are bare bones and the character roster is a joke. Give us a good DBZ game Bandai!!!

    É um jogo + -, a história é a mesma do anime, gráficos ok , jogabilidade ruim. Eu gostei do sistema de cartas, mas é muito limitado e mal utilizado. Parece que o jogo foi feito de mal jeito e que aproveitaram o sucesso de Batalha dos Deuses.

    A forgettable title in Dragon Ball series, with some good ideas poorly executed. Here's hoping that the next chapters in the series will bring a needed revamp in quality.

    It's probably the most bland and repetitive DBZ game of this generation, with its only saving grace being the immense roster of characters.

    Still feels as shallow and monotonous as ever. [Apr 2014, p.89]
