"Worst out of the 4 Dragon Ball fighting games"

Let me just say this, out of the three DBZ fighting games I've played, this is my least favorite. This game starts off with a battle between Gokou and Piccolo (I'm assuming from the 23rd Tenka Itchi Budokai tournament) and ends after the Cell Saga. The graphics are nice, but the control leaves something to be desired. They are basically the same as the other games, but it seems a lot of the moves are harder to pull off in this one. The only plus in the control dept. is the characters have different attacks and different ways to pull them off. The characters are different, including even some of the androids. You can't gather ki in this one, the only way to get any energy is to attack your opponent or block attacks. This is a big turnoff, since the computer always blocks, thus you have like no ki and the enemy has a full meter. Another annoying thing is after jumping, it takes like 3 seconds to touch back on the ground. It's like the guys are flying. After beating this one I didn't turn back.

Graphics: 7.5/10 (one of the only pluses)

Sound: 6/10 (the sound really did nothing for me)

Control: 5.5/10 (the worst part of the game)

Fun Factor: 7/10

Replay Value: 7/10 (I think the only cheat allows you to play as Mr Satan, but getting it is hell)

Overall: 6.5/10
