    Repetition does set in before too long, and holding a button and contorting your arm with Move controls to rotate an object is a bit annoying, but Create is kid safe and kid fun. [Jan 2011, p.83]

    We can't stop wondering how we'd feel about the game is EA had ungraded Jam with modern gameplay fineries. Or better yet, priced it more appropriately. [Jan 2011, p.85]

    With repetitive gameplay, annoying music, and an overall "fans only" attitude, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 proves creatively spent force is never quite spent, as long as the fans keep spending. [Jan 2011, p.85]
