FUCK YEAH!
Isn't this basically what they said last time? And look how that turned out...

Well?

Dragon Ball Collection story mode. It's framed as a sequence of more than a hundred of the most famous fights from the series, all with the original script and voice acting worked in. But the outcomes aren't necessarily pre-determined – a huge selection of 'what-if' scenarios is also included, so you can see How Things Might Have Been had pivotal battles gone the other way or play through scenes that have never been imagined before.

That sounds like every dragonball z game since Budokai 1

"...more than a hundred of the most famous fights from the series..."

That never happened in any Dragonball that I know. Maybe only in the first Tenkaichi.

I don't know about that as Budokai 1 had :

Goku verse Raditz
Goku verse Nappa
Goku verse Vegeta
Gohan verse Vegeta
Goku Vs Goku (training) X3
Goku verse Recoome
Goku verse Ginyu
Ginyu verse Goku
Goku verse Frieza
Super Saiyan Goku verse Frieza
Goku verse Android #19
Piccolo verse Android #18
Piccolo verse Imperfect Cell
Goku verse Perfect Cell
Gohan verse Perfect Cell
Gohan verse 7 Cell Juniors
Gohan verse Perfect Cell
Piccolo verse Raditz
Piccolo verse 6 saibermen
Piccolo verse Nappa
Vegeta verse Goku
Vegeta verse Krillin
Vegeta verse Gohan
Vegeta verse Zarbon
Vegeta verse Recoome
Vegeta verse Frieza
Vegeta verse Frieza
Frieza verse Gohan
Frieza verse Piccolo
Frieza verse Vegeta
Frieza verse Goku
Vegeta verse Android #19
Vegeta verse #18
Vegeta verse Cell
Vegeta verse Cell
Cell verse #16
Cell verse Krillin
Cell verse Yamcha

That's like 40 with just Saiyan - Cell. Budokai 2 had up to Buu and adding up all the story rights you could do including different colour saibermen and Cell Jrs that appeared via the board game levels and its easily over 100 plus had what if's like Majin cell

It's spelled versus, just for future reference.

I like IGN because they have always had respect for Dragonball. Usually sites don't give a fuck and ignore Dragonball because its another anime based video game(Gamespot still hasn't reviewed BT3 for the PS2). So thanks IGN for being a fair and balanced site.

Wouldn't it be a possible that 2nd new character be a Makaioshin, would it?

Deep Thought · Post by **Deep Thought** » Wed Aug 26, 2009 7:06 pm

I actually counted all the story fights in the games, and here they are;

Budokai 3: 90 (20 for Goku, 6 for Kid Gohan, 2 for Teen Gohan, 9 for Gohan, 15 for Vegeta, 6 for Kurrin, 14 for Piccolo, 4 for Tien, 3 for Yamcha, 4 for Uub, 10 for Broly) all counting what-ifs.

Budokai 2: 42 different characters on the board.

Budokai Tenkaichi: 138 battles. What-ifs included.

Too lazy to do the rest, but yeah, Raging Blast definitely beat Budokai 2 and 3 in story battles if they weren't lying.

Would be cool but it is just wishful thinking.
It could be a number of things.

Wow, Broli's new design really fucking sucks.
I never thought Super Saiyan 3 would look so bad on any character.

I think what they mean by it is Raging Blast will have more What If Scenarios than any other DBZ Game. At least that's how I see it.

I wouldn't call it bad on him. It looks how it should. I think it's mostly due to the fact the game looks the same as Tenkaichi 3 on wii which shocking as a ps3/360 should look A LOT better (Not insulting Wii, it's my favourite console this gen. But the graphical difference is undeniable)

IGN, fair!?

They said this about Devil Kings:

About as repetitive as they come. The fighting is a simplistic combination of two buttons, and for the most part, the only skill you need is the ability to run headfirst into a pile of enemies and mash buttons.

Yet I've enjoyed the game thoroughly and most of the boss battles required more than mindlessly bashing buttons.
Although Devil Kings was a bastardized version of the original japanese game, it's a heck of a lot better than Samurai Warriors, which they had this to said about:

What it all boils down to is whether or not a button-mashing title is appealing. If so, this is still one of the best ones available. If not, the inherently repetitive nature of the gameplay will be an impossibly high hurdle.

Saying IGN are not fair because you disagree with a part of their review is pretty silly, if you ask me.

IGN is not really fair but it does give good reviews and good previews ect... But when they are reviewing or what e.g the Devil Kings example it's the opinion of the person who did the review. Same with any review really. But I do love the fact IGN have been doing dbz stuff for years

Still, IGN are probably the most fair, IMO, out of the big reviewing sites. If you want a REALLY biased, unfair site, then go to Gametrailers. Their reviews for the PS3 are constantly shit, anything PS3 related is constantly slated, etc...go on Google and type in "Gametrailers biased".

Such a "professional" site.
