DragonBall Z review for Sony PSP
The big selling point here is a unique story, following events after the TV show’s ‘Trunk’s Another Story’ episodes. You may laugh, but it’s a big deal. Most DBZ games just rehash the same old histories and plots from the T V shows so having something new-ish, no matter how clichéd and predictable, is a nice touch.
This flimsy-but-new plot dumps you in an insane alternate DBZ universe where Goku died and alien robots have... anyway, it’s ludicrous. But it forms the background of the insane tournament. Broken down into little chapters and boss fights, it’s very similar to PS2 and Wii’s Budokai Tenkaichi 2, with you picking a character to fly about defending cities and engaging in gigantic, 3D scraps that span land, sea and air.
