Ah I see, that was my biggest downfall with that game although I did buy it day one and played through it enough to beat it, I haven't really picked it up since.

I got the game as a gift, so honestly I don't feel a longing sense of buyer's remorse like many of you guys here do :/ Though, honestly? If I'm playing with my non-hardcore Tenkaichi/Raging Blast buds who are still hardcore DB fans, this is usually what I bust out. The casual aspects of the combat are pretty useful for that kind of gamer, and it's honestly a chore to get someone into the Tenkaichi/RB style to the point where they'll be a good challenge. I think as a spectacle and a fan-service pack, UT does it's job nicely in all areas except roster size. The fact that they cut the character count down from RB2, when they already had the models (They just needed to be retextured/re-rendered slightly) is no excuse. That's what's frustrating about the game the most and I think every can agree on: They had the option of implementing previous aspects of the games that had already been done for them and laid out nicely, yet they deliberately chose to ignore them in favor of dragging out the life-cycle of the series. We were expecting an "Ultimate" Tenkaichi, as in the HD culmination of Spike's tenure developing games for the DBZ license, not just yet -another- standalone series. It's crap like this that make me desperately crave for Burst Limit 2 or at least something else by Dimps.

It's pretty enjoyable... I don't play it as much as I do Raging Blast Of Sparking Meteor. Nevertheless I play it quite often.
