Dragonball Z
People seem to compare this game with Budokai 3 a lot for some reason, even after playing it, this is wrong as it shouldn't be compared with 3 but with Budokai 1. I'm probably right in guessing that if your reading ( or have read ) this review then you are interested in some form in either Dragonball z itself or fighting games. First off Dragonball z Burst Limit for the Xbox 360/PS3 is a Primary fighting game, and a good one at that.
Now unlike the past few DBZ games, Burst Limit return to the Budokai formula of fighting as the camera is places further out and not behind your character like the Tenkaichi series, and just like the Budokai series
the game focuses more on strict fighting instead of collecting capsules and Dragon Balls for your character. After completing story sequences, you unlock certain items such as characters, abilities and battle stages. Combat has been simplified dramatically from the previous games or other full version pc games out there. Using special moves is as easy as pressing a button and moving the left analog stick or d-pad simultaneously. If certain actions are made during the battle, "Drama Pieces" are activated, causing many different effects such as having your health restored with a Senzu Bean and a helper character attacking your opponent.
Now these '' Drama Pieces '' are what i would call a '' double edged sword '' for the sheer fact that when you first play the game and activate one of these Drama pieces, it looks cool thanks to the great Animation ( except the mouths that keep moving after the dialogue has been said ) and core graphics, but after completing the game you would of most probably unlocked 80% of these Drama pieces which means you can use them if equipped to your character in fights online or against friends, that's good and everything, until you have seen and activated the same Drama piece OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, which again would be fine......
IF YOU COULD SKIP THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!
Although implemented fairly well these Drama Pieces turn from being a great addition to being a hindrance during gameplay and although what a lot of reviews said is true in the way that '' They don't really determine who wins '' it still fells rather disjointed enough to make the game a bit of a chore.
