AAAAND WE’RE FIGHTING,WE’RE FIGHTING, WE’RE FIGHTING…
The Dragon Ball Z franchise has been pumping out games at a rate we have not seen in years. This is like my third game this year alone. Now we have Raging Blast to chew on. A release that sticks with the traditional combat style and adds a few new things to the mix. Is it worth a purchase? Will it bring the casual gamer into the fold? Is there as much yelling and carrying-on as in previous game?! Click below to see.
Release Date: June 10th, 2008 Publisher: (US, Canada) Atari, (Japan, Europe) Namco Bandai Developer: Dimps
As I sit down to review the newest installment of the DBZ fighting series, it occurs to me just how big of an impact the casual market has had on the video game world. I bring this up having played the previous installments and have found that in comparison, Burst Limit’s controls and gameplay have been…not dumbed-down…not streamlined…simplified. That’s the one. This is one of those make-or-break moments in a series where some of the old faithful might feel slighted as the game becomes more approachable to the average gamer. I suppose for the hardcore it’s like your mother forcing you to let your kid sister into you and your buddy’s tree fort.
Oooh, nice analogy. I am currently patting myself on the back for that one. Go me.
Anyways. Hit the jump for more
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Dragon Ball Z series. For some reason, it never clicked with me as much as some other anime I watch regularly. Not to say it’s not good, it’s just not in my regular rotation. I also haven’t played much of the previous games, since they haven’t been very good. Atari has upped the ante with Burst Limit and made a game that everyone should play, even if you don’t like anime.
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is a fighting game, but it provides a story. I know, that’s not something you’re used to see in a fighting game. Each stage pits you against another foe that stands in your way. What exactly is that story? We’re not sure from the demo, but it already seems cool. What really pulled me in, though, is the great graphics (it seriously looks like you’re playing the show) and the very solid gameplay.
Do you take video games with you to the office too much? I can tell you one thing, this is what Steve does on a daily basis at the office. And it’s damn scary, people. I know there’s one person where you work that does something like this every day. Check out this guy going all Dragon Ball Z on the water cooler. Yeah, that’s right, the water cooler.
