NYA~! UR 4ll Wr0nGz!/11!
S4G4z is the most liek DeeBZ!1!11!
But seriously, I think the Sparking games felt more like the show due to you being able to run about and all that(Well, besides Meteor, where you were forced to have lock-on

...and I wanted to explore Mt.Paozu..) But B3 looks a lot more like the show graphics wise.

A lot of the animations, facial expression, & effects tend to be a bit more "dynamic". That's not to say the Sparking! isn't very animated, the character designs/models just look a bit lifeless to me. They don't tend to have that Toriyama style to it. It's like they took some of those really badly animated DBZ episodes from Toei & smacked it right in the middle of a video game.
That's a perfect description actually. the models in sparking were like some of those badly drawn episodes of dbz.Lol (some of them were really bad.) But on top of that, they were also lifeless, with no expression.

One way to explore Mt.Paozu is to fight against a computer who's character knows Solar Flare in practice mode and wait for them to use it.
When they do quickly switch the computer off and run away and have fun exploring (Make sure you hold the guard down when still to prevent auto lock on).

Just keep backing away from the enemy and it should automatically lock-off. Anyway, I agree that the Sparking series feels more like the show. Budokai 3 was a good game but the lack of free flight is what made it feel less DBZ.

"less dragonballz" ?
I don´t know, B3 does have pretty good flight in dragon universe alright,
better than Sparking2 (sparking3 dont even have one). And in battles,
you can rise to the sky too. You can get away from the enemy to the
sky and to the earth.
It is everything that is about flying. Sparking have free flight and you
can´t do anything extra with it but to use it for the same reasons you
do in Budokai 3. And I hope no one says about exploration because
there isnt any in any sparking game.

I never understood the importance of emphasizing flight control so much.
You're trying to beat someone up, that's what matters.
It bothers me almost as much as the ongoing desire for a "create-a-character" feature. Don't even get me started on how much statements regarding that annoy me.

Yeah! Screw having a custom character to beat people up with! We need the farmer with the shotgun!
Seriously. He'd be an awesome gag character.

Wouldn't playing against a player in Duel mode do it too? One player with Solar Flare does the attack, you run away, and the other player just doesn't do anything? Then there's the problem with the split-screen...
Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!

When it gets to the point that people seriously want the Farmer with a shotgun(there actually are some who really do!

) it seems we've had way too many characters available.
Is he famous just because he was the first to have his power level read? So now people want him to be playable so he can have a big one and make
this a reality...

Yeah, if he uses the gun, the other character catches the bullet with it and kills him like Raditz did, and if he doesn't, he dies instantly as soon as he's hit!

I think the whole power level thing is the reason. Many people debated back in the day if the shotgun was part of his power level.
But, seriously, I don't care if he's in the game. However, it would be nice to see a different gag character than Mr. Satan or Yajirobe.

Yajirobe is real strong at least in sparking games.
Choose CPU vs CPU and you will see what I am talking about. He is a "bug".

Hey guys, i'm a usual reader (posted only handful of times). But I'm going to buy the 360 in anticipation for this game (seriously, I'm THAT big of a fan

).
Was wondering if there were any more DBZ games planned for the Wii. I for one was severly disapointed by the wii's online and the unresponsive controls......so I'm literally basing my decision on selling my wii if there will be no more DBZ games made on it.
