“Battle of Z” is not friendly to newcomers of the franchise as the story mode is bare of any real cut scenes or dialogue. The game also features character customization in the form of changing character colors. The music sounds good with new covers of old songs as well as good voice acting. Mechanics aside, “Battle of Z” looks fantastic with its use of cel-shaded graphics. This change means that if you want Goku to be a Super Saiyan, then you better be ready to pull extra weight with one less companion. Another problem is that transformations no longer come stock with each character, but instead take up one team slot. “Battle of Z” also does away with local multi-player, as developers wanted better visual experience – a trade-off, but not a good one in my opinion. The eight man fights can be confusing, and hitting anything can be tough without locking on, making the free movement aspect feel almost moot. Fighting is kept mostly to two buttons and uses the shoulder buttons to add variables, such as stronger versions of previous attacks. Movement is simple and makes flight an ease. Online battles have people teaming up live from all over the world engaging in 4 vs. companions to assist in defending the earth. The fighting game no longer pits the player in one-on-one fights, but rather gives the player 3 A.I. “Battle of Z” separates itself from the last 20 years of games by adding team battles to the formula. This year starts off with a new game and shows that there is still life in this old franchise with “Battle of Z.” The show hasn’t had a new episode in over a decade and the latest anime movie has yet to see a North American release, but we still see a new DBZ game every year.
