This title goes for an adventure feel, with players controlling Goku through various stages as you fight against mostly nameless enemies and creatures while advancing the plot. If you're going into this thinking it will be another fighter like previous games in the series, you're going to be a bit disappointed. Any changes I noticed were pretty minor, and I definitely applaud the developers for selecting territory that hasn't already worn out its welcome (how many times do we need to see the Raditz saga in a video game?).
#DRAGON BALL ORIGINS GAMEPLAY SERIES#
The game manages to retain a lot of the juvenile humor aspects that made the series so charming, and for the most part, the story is retold exactly as I remember from the original series. We meet Goku in child form as he joins up with Bulma to hunt down the mysterious Dragon Balls that are supposed to grant one wish to whoever manages to hunt down all of them.

Dragon Ball: Origins is definitely an odd pick for a new DB title, but in the end, it's one of the better entries for the entire franchise, and something that the fans won't want to pass up.ĭragon Ball: Origins features the first two major story arcs from the original Dragon Ball series, so you'll get the first introductions to characters like Bulma and the Red Ribbon army here. However, the series that actually kicked off the franchise, Toriyama's original Dragon Ball, hasn't seen nearly as much of the limelight as the second chapter, which is why I found it kind of odd that we're just now getting a DS game based on it. I realize that the series has seen game iterations going as far back as the Super Nintendo days, but those fighters were my first introduction to the anime in video game form. Robotech marked my first introduction to Japanese animation, but I definitely fall into the same boat of people who didn't have a great deal of interest in the style until after watching Dragon Ball Z.īy the time the video games started to get released in the U.S., my adoration for the series was more or less over, but I still appreciated certain titles, like Dragon Ball Z Budokai, for being fun and showy fighters that played surprisingly well. However, voice acting feels a bitweake.For a lot of people, Dragon Ball Z was probably one of the first anime shows they ever saw, and it's managed to retain its popularity for quite some time.

Thereis never a moment, while using the button pad, where you feel out of control.The music is amazing, and fits the tone of the series perfectly. Still, itisn’t a major gripe, because it still moves and responds more accurately than it’s predecessor. Needless to say, Goku’s adventure conflicts with the Red Ribbon’s conquest, andsoon our intrepid warrior finds himself up against the strongest military establishment in the world.Gameplay is almost identical to the last game, although the touch screen controls feel noticeablyfaultier this time around, and forced me to play with the button pad, which was a disappointment forsomebody who enjoyed the fluidity of the touch screen interface the last time around. Littledoes he know that the sinister Red Ribbon army also happens to be searching for the Dragon Balls, inorder to get one of their darkest wishes granted (which I’m not going to spoil for newbies, but restassured, it’s a kicker). While I was sure that “Revenge of King Piccolo” would forever serve as the sequel to the initialentry in the “Origins” series, Game Republic obviously took the success of the originalgame to heart, and produced what could be the finest and most well-polished sequel in the historyof the Dragon Ball game franchise.Taking place after the events of “Dragon Ball Origins”, in which Goku defeats Master Roshi… er, I mean,”Jackie Chun”, our young hero sets off on a quest to reclaim his late grandfather’s Dragon Ball.
