![]() ![]() The fun soon wears off though, as you find yourself repeatedly doing the same moves again and again, partly due to a limited moves list, but also because you’ll work out certain combos will win you a fight with ease. For some gamers, the challenge of learning all new combos will be exciting, for people like myself who just smash buttons, we will forever be wondering what we just hit to perform a Kamehameha wave. ![]() The game itself as I have mentioned is your typical button bashing fighter game where you put together awesome combo attacks to pulverise your enemies into oblivion. This for me really let the story telling in the game down somewhat, which added to the woe of some very pixelated images and gameplay, although the 3D screen does that sometimes if held at an iffy angle. ![]() But, when you have some iconic moments like Goku and Piccolo battling Raditz, instead of seeing the special beam cannon fire through his chest, you just hear an argh and a flash and it’s over, I mean I’d have settled for a still image but no, nothing. Being limited to storage, the game keeps the storytelling to a comic book style where a character will pop up with his text and it will go back and forth between the two until the fight starts, or the fights over. This is good as a refresher but I was a little let down because you don’t really follow the story as well as the game could. There are various modes, but the main thing is following the story of the entire Dragon Ball Z saga from start to finish, although quite a streamlined version. If this isn’t the case, then I do apologies to the creators, but compared to other DBZ games, this just doesn’t bring anything new or exciting to the table in my honest opinion. I can’t think of many of these types of games on the 3DS at all so really this game should do well, but it seems as though the developers have noticed this too and therefore in areas seemed to have done a half arsed job. Now this isn’t usually that bad at all, I mean these types of games can often be quite fun especially with friends to beat up, but in all honestly the game falls a little flat. Well, unlike some of the latest DBZ games which see you in open worlds/arenas that allow you the freedom to fly around, Extreme Butoden sticks to the old style 2D button bashing fighting games like Tekken and Street Fighter. A new title is out now though for the 3DS in Dragon Ball Z Butoden, but can it deliver a game worthy of the series? That is, until they released the video games, of which today my favourite has been Xenoverse. That is because this was just a simple anime, and I would never have a chance to fly or shoot balls of energy from my hands and take on the mightiest warriors in the universe. I can’t count the times I’ve binge watched the likes of Dragon Ball, DBZ, all the Dragon Ball films, but unfortunately there was still a void, a void that could not be filled. I can still remember the first time I saw it the first time I saw Goku battle, when the Saiyan’s came to Earth, the time they took on Frieza, when Garlic Junior tried to take over the world…so many fond memories. I can remember I would rush home after a hard day studying (yeah right) and quickly jump in front of the TV, switching to Cartoon Network and settling down to the latest exciting instalment of Dragon Ball Z. ![]() My love for Dragon Ball Z started way, way back I’m talking over 13 years ago when I was in my early High School days. ![]()
