This
Dragonball is the second installment for the PlayStation and is different from
it's previous version. The first one was a 2D-fightergame and this classed under
3D - combat, strategy combat or others (depends on the magazine reviewing it).
For me this one was going to be fantastic...

The
opening sequence is a bit disappointing but it's nice. The characters are ugly
because not rendered in 3D and the few places where the action takes place are
looking like the first pictures I got (finished at 60%). The animation is pretty
fast but there are some nasty glitches here and there. Globally taken : Just
acceptable.

There's
something that I really don't understand. Why do DB games on Next Generation
consoles not support the original music of the series? The combat sounds are
very good and make you think that you're one the hero's. When changing
characters several not participating fighters give comments. O.K.

The
PSX Joypad isn't perfect at all for this game. On Saturn it's easier to control.
The big problem of the game is it's lastability. In the beginning I thought that
there were going to be a lot of combats in story mode but it turned out that
there were only seven of them. When you've finished these you get a new
game-mode : the SP-mode with 30 combats.
As a 2 player game you can
forget about this one. Although you can each choose three fighters it's almost
impossible to see what they are doing. It's boring.
As for the game
system : there is a power balance, if you're kicking your enemy more than he is
kicking you, you gain a place on the power balance. When you reach the end of
the power balance with one of your fighters, he will throw a "laser"
at it's opponent making him lose a life.

The
sounds and music are O.K, The graphics are ugly, although the animation is good
unfortunately there are some nasty glitches. This game can be finished in a
couple of hours and is boring. If you don't know Dragonball well, forget about
this one. If you do know it and love real combat games like Tekken 2, move on.
Only diehard Dragonball fans will get any enjoyment out of this game.

I
would rent this one before buying it - there may be a few people who will love
this game, but not many. |
