Ah Dragon Ball Z. Arguably the most famous anime of all time (it’s only real competition being Pokémon), and still insanely popular. There’s something cathartic about watching two grown, muscular, shirtless men beat each other…that came out wrong, didn’t it? Anyways, there’s only one problem with this series- there’s never been any great DBZ games! At best, we have
Budokai 3, which is still pretty good. This is something that needs to be fixed! Let’s take look at what the past games did right.
ART DIRECTION
This is the thing you see first. Good graphics do not make a game, but they certainly add to the experience. Now, I’ve seen reviewers and fans alike like the most recent games’ visuals the best. The games I’m referring to are
Raging Blast 2 and
Ultimate Tenkaichi. However…I have to disagree. They certainly both look good, but my favorite game of the series, in terms of art direction, is the first
Raging Blast.
What if Namco Bandai made a great Dragon Ball game for once?
