The worst part of the game is that it’s too easy. However, this feature isn’t perfect and you’ll most likely reserve it for boss battles, otherwise it feels more like a gimmick, but it’s still exciting to do. One unique feature the gameplay offers is the collection of Ki for a special meeter that, once filled, allows you and your party (Goku, Gohan, Tien, Krillin, Piccolo or Yamcha) to preform all their special attacks at once. You could go the entire game without touching half your inventory. Some have use in battles, others don’t seem to have any purpose in the game. A lot of the items you pick up tend to be useless.

Its got everything you would expect from your run-of-the-mill RPG - random battles, leveling up, capsule collecting, strategic use of items, ect. Veteran RPG players won’t be wowed by the simple gameplay, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t pleasing. It’s all the same plot we know, but it’s a unique approach to the DBZ lore.

Instead of the same old long journey through Snake Way, the scuffle with Vegta, and the tedious build to the battle with Frieza like we’re use to, Attack of the Saiyans starts you off in the middle of the Dragon Ball series with Emperor Pillaf, and the Red Ribbon Army, and takes you into Dragon Ball Z and the coming of the saiyans. The most welcome change of pace to this DBZ game is the liberties taken with the story. DBZ has never had the best luck with RPG style games, but Attack of the Saiyans completely changes that. The other, Monolith Soft’s Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans for the Nintendo DS, returns the Z warriors to the RPG genre. Raging Blast wasn’t the only Dragon Ball game to come out recently, but it was the only DBZ fighter. It’s easy to get lost in the arena-like environment you’re fighting in.ĭragon Ball Z: Raging Blast really feels like a step backward from previous DBZ fighters, but if you’re a hardcore fan, you’ll find something to enjoy. The style focus seems set more for performing big power moves and special attacks, than using fighting fundamentals. That feeling of unresponsiveness can be extremely problematic, especially since this is a fighting game. If you’re standing right in front of your opponent, and not doing anything else at the time, it works fine. The initial attack button doesn’t always attack. You’re definitely getting a lot for your zeni in Raging Blast with good online features and a strong 70 character roster, but Raging Blast‘s biggest issue, unfortunately, is everything gameplay related. It’s not too fancy stuff for a video game, but for a DBZ game, it’s a step up.

You can play against DBZ warriors from all over the world or just in your country, play in ranked or unranked matches, compete in a World Tournament, set default players, and upgrade and customize characters. Online has plenty of customizable options for players. It’s pretty basic, but if you can fill a living room with friends to play with, you’ll definitely have some fun with it. 16 players can compete in a single elimination tournament with the computer filling in for any non-human players. Of course it wouldn’t be a DBZ game without a World Tournament mode.

In addition to Dragon Battle Collection, you have Super Battle Trial mode which is different challenges with specific goals: like deafening an opponent within a time limit or surviving a gauntlet.

Each chapter is skipable, allowing you to pass over fights you’re having trouble with. The chapters cover DBZ’s long drug out conflicts from Radditz, Frieza, Cell and beyond, but there are a few ‘What If’ chapters that are a nice mix up from the over played story. The text boxes are a big step down, and will likely bore players familiar and unfamiliar with DBZ’s story. Previous games have had more cinematic vignettes building up the fight that were just as intense as the fights themselves. The problem with this in Raging Blast is that the story’s presentation is completely dull and uninteresting, using simple text boxes to quickly explain why you’re fighting who you’re fighting. Just like every other DBZ game, you relive some of the more epic battles and moments in the DBZ storyline in Dragon Battle Collection mode. If you’ve never played a DBZ fighter before, you’ll have no reason to start now. Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast is the second of Namco Bandi’s new Dragon Ball video game initiative, following closely behind Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo, as well as the annual updated DBZ fighting game installment.
