I typically jump into a gameРІР‚в„ўs included tutorial mode after firing it up and switching the language over to Japanese, but having just plowed through Tenkaichi Tag Team and prepping for this game, I decided to jump right into the action. In a nutshell, it is a vastly improved version of the original story, features adequate animation, a very serviceable musical score from newcomer Hiroshi Takaki, and simply watching the feature to the end unlocks Hatchihyack as a playable character in all modes. An entirely separate review could be dedicated to the feature, and in fact has been done right here on this site as a part of Episode #0238 of our podcast (listen below). It is a condensed version of what was previously animated and released as a so-called РІР‚СљOfficial Visual GuideРІР‚Сњ for a Famicom game of a similar title, Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans (sans the РІР‚СљSuperРІР‚Сњ variety, though they did indeed turn into Super Saiyans in the original story, as well). As with the first game, the character profile areas actually switch the names of the voice actors depending on which language you are playing in, which is a fantastic touch.Р”В«efore jumping into any standard part of the game, as with most people who were even aware of it to begin with, I jumped straight into Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, a half-hour feature presentation included right on the game disc. While not branded as Kai in any territory, the voice casts do feature the respective Kai updates from both the original Japanese cast, as well as FUNimationРІР‚в„ўs English dub cast - notable inclusions on the Japanese side are Hikaru Midorikawa as Tenshinhan and Katsuyuki Konishi as Ginyu, while on the English side we have Colleen Clinkenbeard as Gohan (all the way up through the Cell Game era) as well as Chris Ayres as Freeza. Much like its predecessors on the consoles, Raging Blast 2 features an option to choose between the default English voices (all from FUNimationРІР‚в„ўs dub cast) and the original Japanese voice cast.

Review of this game was made possible through a PlayStation 3 copy provided by Namco-Bandai. Is this enough, though? Has Spike (and in turn, Namco-Bandai) burned out their fanbase with what could be considered the fifth iteration of the same game in as many years? Or is the attention to detail enough to not only keep around the old fans, but drag in some new ones? Quick Details: ASIN:

Beyond some camera work and yet another completely overhauled graphical system, the game includes a half-hour feature entitled Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans, itself a re-made version of the storyline from a series of products including a Nintendo Famicom game, a visual strategy guide, and two games for the Bandai Playdia.

Despite an overhaul in graphics to the current generation of systems (running at 60 frames per second at 720p), a redesigned control scheme from the prior Sparking! series and an abysmally poor camera made the game more of a curiosity than a product with any longevity.Р”Вeveloper Spike clearly took some of the criticism to heart and went back to the drawing board for this yearРІР‚в„ўs Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2, also available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The annualization of the Dragon Ball franchise seems like it took its toll on last yearРІР‚в„ўs flagship product: the first Raging Blast for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
