Graphically, this is very nice to watch in motion. I couldn’t check what they were, because nobody near me had bought the game, opening weekend, but apparently it will unlock new items to use in Adventure Mode on a roulette wheel, should you meet with several other players. The other modes are Battle Mode, playing any combination of unlocked fighters against a team of AI-controlled ones, Versus Mode for local multiplayer, and Quest Mode which uses Streetpass to enable trading of Guild Cards. I didn’t even pull off a special move that wasn’t an accident until I had finished the first two story modes, and then I never needed to use them. Whether it’s punch and kick combos, or jump and kick combos, most of those fights can be easily won with some repetition. Find a combo that works, and use it to pin the enemy against the side of the screen for 80% of the match. Which is good, because the early stages of Adventure and the majority of Story are very easy. You can progress without them, but you’ve gotta catch ‘em all! I shall remind you (and myself), once again, that this is not Pokémon.įinishing the Adventure Mode unlocks the Extreme World Tournament, which is another series of fights to muddle through, but more challenging. The rest are unlocked as Z-Assist characters, which do various things when tapped during a fight, from restoring your health to attacking the enemy.Īdventure Mode takes longer to complete than the story sagas (which takes around three hours if you watch the visual novel-like cutscenes), and the length is increased further thanks to it unlocking things, only if you finish with an S or A ranking. It’s kinda lazy, in that Extreme Butoden boasted over 100 characters, yet only 25 of them are playable. Thankfully those aren’t the only modes unlocked, as there is Adventure Mode, a completely new storyline featuring the return of all of the enemies from the story mode, due to time and space, blah, collect Dragon Balls, yadda yadda. However, they do make you fight the exact same people in the exact same order over and over again, starting with Raditz and ending with Kid Buu. “Yeah, then, right, he said the only reason a human could beat him, yeah? Was because, right, because, listen to this… Listen, right… Because he was only just turned into his perfect form, right?”. They vary in quality, but each is ten fights with a little bit of alternate story such as you might make up whilst retelling a fight you had, to your drunken mates. Know what Battle of the Gods is? If not, you don't know this guyĪfter the summary “Dragon Team” story, told from various viewpoints but mostly series main character Goku, you then open up the Goku, Krillin, Gohan, Piccolo and Vegeta Sagas, which are What If story modes. Unless you’re very familiar with what Otherworld is. You have to complete the first story mode to unlock all of the other modes, so as you crash around the entire 291 episode saga in a completely unconnected way, you might be left wondering what on Otherworld is going on. It’s a good thing that I’ve seen every episode and most of the movies, because if I was completely unfamiliar with the series, the story mode in this 2D beat ‘em up would make me put down the handheld and wonder whether I should install Star Wars: Empire At War after all. Suffice to say, it hit the sweet spots of “It’s a Japanese cartoon”, “If I talk about anime, my friends will know I’m above them” and “Oh, sweet, that guy just got shot through the chest with a freaking laser”. I could bore you with why I love Dragon Ball Z for a few pages, but then I’d have nothing to write about the next time I review a DBZ title. Did you click on this link without looking? Come on, now… They’re pretty much limited to anything with Pokémon or Dragon Ball in the title - luckily one of those has come out! No, unfortunately it’s not a new Pokémon title. There are few 3DS games that I feel eager for, especially since I only have a 2DS. Reviews // 1st Nov 2015 - 6 years ago // By Andrew Duncan Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butoden Review
