I’m pretty sure the reason is so that they can boast about having a larger roster by having six different Goku forms, but it’s really a bummer, because everyone knows that transforming in front of the enemy is cool. In this game, each character form appears as a separate character, and there is no way to transform in the middle of a fight. In the DBZ games of old, transforming was a gimmick, where you had to fulfill certain conditions during battle in order to perform, and every time you powered up your character would be noticeably stronger and, even more noticeably, cooler looking. One of the big ones is the ability to transform. There are, however, a few core parts of Dragon Ball Z that are sadly missing in this game. You know, if being immersed into a game that isn’t very enjoyable is your kinda thing. The sound effects and music are also spot on, and everything combined really helps to create an immersive experience. The character models and backgrounds look pretty darn accurate in comparison to the anime and manga, and while the graphics are not cutting edge or next gen-level, the game looks, and – more importantly – feels like how a Dragon Ball Z (DBZ) game should. The good: It’s bad, but not uglyįor real, this game looks great. that will have you raging so hard you might just go Super Saiyan.
Sadly, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (DBZ: BoZ) is no different from its predecessors, and that really is a letdown because the game has a lot of potential to be something great, but is chained down by repetitive and wonky combat mechanics, artificial difficulty and an A.I. Just off the top of my head, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, One Piece Pirate Warriors, and Naruto Shipuuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm were some of their latest offerings, and all of those games have one thing in common: while they accurately captured the feel of the works they were based on, they were pretty terrible games by traditional standards, having little to no appeal to anyone not already familiar with their respective series.
