However, here's a quick rundown: the adventures revolve around the heroics of Goku, a member of the ridiculously powerful Saiyan race.
I won't explain the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z mythos in too much detail, because those who have absolutely no experience with the franchise are likely not going to be interested in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast. It won't kill you to listen to any of it, but you'll at least wince at most of it. The music is exactly what you'd expect for a game based on an action cartoon. This is made worse by the fact that many of your character's in-combat lines are repeated ad nauseum. Some of the voicework sounds reasonably authentic, but the lines and delivery are atrocious. Raging Blast scores par for the course when it comes to sound. Behind the back may be the perspective that allows you to get the best possible grip on your environment, but there's a problem: you're moving through three fully-realized dimensions, and when your opponent is right above you, you will often lose track of him (or her in the rare occasion). However, the camera is a greater threat than the likes of Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu combined. The visuals are a clear and proud representation of Akira Toriyama's work the characters look great, the destructible environments are easy on the eyes, and the comic book vibe brings it all together. There's not too much to complain about when it comes to Raging Blast's graphics. This disc is loaded with content, but the inconsistencies of the fighting system manage to bring the whole package down. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is the latest of these efforts, and it's not a very good one.
DRAGON BALL RAGING BLAST 2 OFFICIAL SITE SERIES
From the Budokai titles to the more recent Burst Limit, the game series attempted to condense the most exciting elements of the classic action manga/anime into a product all Dragon Ball fans could enjoy. Then, the games were localized and released in North America. I began to wonder if they could at least try to trim the fat. It was 10% action, 30% exposition and 60% still shots and/or incoherent leather-lunged screaming. I realized that it followed a very rigid template.
After a while, though, I became irrevocably jaded with the television series. Every day after school, I'd come home, turn on the television, and lose myself in the exploits of Goku, Piccolo, and the rest of the crew. Dragon Ball Z was the guiltiest of pleasures for me during high school.
