Dragon Ball Z Super Gokuden: Kakusei-Hen

"Hrrrm, Sequel to the Super Gokuuden..."

This is the second Gokuuden released, It continues where Super Gokuuden left off, The control is similar to the first Gokuuden, And once again you watch a story through the entire game, You play through battles when the time comes, And it covers the start of the 23rd tournament to the end of the Freeza Saga.

Music/Sound - 9/10
Music in the game is very well done, It fits the situation your in, And it always fits the battle scenes, The sound is very crisp. You can hear the punches and Kamehameha/Masenko very perfectly, You will always want to turn up the volume when playing this game.

Graphics - 10/10
The graphics in this game are AMAZING, Characters look very well made, And the battle backgrounds are just plain amazing. When you get the chance to see most of the area your in, You'll see that everything looks the way it should. The graphics in this game deserve every point they get.

Gameplay - 10/10
This game is very fun to play, You might not really like the idea of having to read dialogues and go into a battle at the right time. But assure me, When you play through this game. You wont even care, You can make decisions during the story, Meaning the game always turns out a different way depending on what you choose, Now onto the battles, The battles are kind of like rock paper and scissors, Some attacks always beat other attacks, Like PowerKicking moves beating KI blasts, There are many attacks you can use, So you can be sure that you'll have fun with every battle.

Control - 9/10
Not too much problems here, All the controls are responsive and such. You will get new moves when you play the game through, So stay tuned.

Replay - 8/10
This game has a load of endings, Depending on how you play and answer the questions in the game, You will get a different ending. There's only one true ending, And you should already know what that is.

Overall - 8/10
If your a Dragon Ball Z fan, You will want this game. It is a great improvement over the first Gokuuden, The game features the starting of the 23rd Tournament all the way to the end of the Freeza Saga. And you have the ability to play in every battle, Which is fun. You get to use two characters throughout the entire game. I would suggest buying this game if you can find it.
