Dragon Ball makes its way onto the next gen
My relationship with Dragonball games has been a very mixed one. Some I loved and some i hated. This is kind of in the middle. For the msot part its still keeps DBZ feel which I guess you could say is really all it needs to do. On the other hand you wonder if they been a little lazy as well.
Burst Limit takes dragonball back to Budokai routes, This is pretty much that kind of game. If you played dragonball game before then you may already know what to expect. Its simple controls with some powerful beam attacks and that has always and may always be the case. Its also has a few more harder mode of diffculty which is also a nice change so you may not always be running rings around the dude your smacking. There also the modes you expect story, vs, practice , ect. The finally big thing you see is the Drama pieces.
These add the talking parts and such of dbz and also give bonus like increase in somthing or even health increase. Some are kind of long and most get boring after a few times of seeing them but the bets thing is when they chat with each other. You might get two people you u never expect like if your Goku and you have Raditzas a drama Piece, he will shout at you saying somthing like you suck goku, or need a hand and goku will say somthing like shut up. This does'nt work for all char thought.
The graphics are pretty nice but a lot of is just all flash, at the end of the day thought thats what dbz has always been about. pretty attack ect. I mean there not ground breaking but they do look nice. One thing I really like is some of the in game moments, Take the fight in story made betweebngoku and Nappa. They put the famous Its over 9000!!! part in they and its pretty much just as funny watching it on there as in the anime.
The sound is kinda of ok. The intro song is one of the best yet but its the voice acting that really let it down. A lot of it just sounds really poor and hollow but some of it sounds really good to.
I think what let the game down most more then anything is its lack of content compared to the other games. I'm not talking about adding 400 char or so but it would of been nice to a see a few more people in the game like cooler ect. But they even miss out the Cell Jr which paly a pretty big role in the Cell Games. I would of loved to of see them add just a bit more but i guess they saving that stuff for the 2rd game which kind of sucks but hey. But they is a good number of char and such in the end. They was really 1 what if story in brust limit Involing Bardock but it has been by the bar the best What If I've seen yet which was nice.
Brust Limit won't be for everyone but thats ok cause its not made for everyone. Its there for Dbz fans and for people wanting to know more about the show. I still recommend even if you are'nt a fan to at least try it. It may not be best game they put out but its by far not the worst either.
