DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT Reviews

☑ Quest tasks you to stop poachers. Also Yajirobe wants you to butcher a bunch of deers for him. ☑ Races and driving mechanics put Forza / NFS to shame. ☑ You can fish with a fake tail attached to you butt. Take notes, RDR2. ☑ Dodoria should be a boss on Dark Souls. Better chug those vitadrinks. Should have won GOTY.

love the game you actually feel like your in the world of dragon ball and can experince everything that goku has seen in his life and dlc are great if you are reading things you should add GT love the story behind GT

This game is amazing tbh theirs nothing left to do after the story and dlcs end i reccomend getting modes the limtless pack is the best

I really enjoyed playing this game. Its definitely worth the buy. only nag that i have out of all the good things of the game is the lack of different forms for each character.

I honestly wasn't expecting much, but this game is genuinely enjoyable, and it eats up the hours. It isn't often I just sit and play a newly-acquired game for 3 straight hours, let alone marathon it on my days off. It's like experiencing the anime I watched as a kid all over again, with (almost) full voice acting, and expansive open world maps to explore as all the main characters, complete with side quests and collectables. The combat is great fun, even as someone who isn't into fighting games, I think largely because it feels far more fast-paced Kingdom Hearts/real-time Final Fantasy than it does a typical fighting game, and it feels damn refined and polished, as you'd hope it'd be given the IP. The cutscenes really sell it for me, though - they feel extremely faithful to the anime, with an artstyle that compliments the action without feeling removed from the source material. Give this a go, especially since it's on sale. I haven't purchased any of the DLC's, but at this rate it's looking like a certainty I will if the game retains this level of enjoyment. The only real downside for me is that there are entirely too many random encounters whilst out exploring, and it seriously kills the flow of gameplay. I'm half a second away from installing a trainer just to remove them, because they're a hindrance and annoyance, and don't even give enough EXP to be worth the constant interruptions. Strategy also isn't even required, button mashing B to win is a great way to develop bad habits that'll be to the detriment of story fights, ie when timing and focus are needed. (I know random encounters can be skipped or beaten in one hit once you're a high enough level, but that a) doesn't change the fact that they're a constant interruption to exploration, and b) force the player character to utter the exact same line every time they get close, which in and of itself is an annoyance.)

Best Dragon Ball Z game ever in terms of telling the entire story of Z. Highly recommend for those who love Dragon Ball Z and those who never really got into the series but still would love to learn about it in video game format. they really went all out with the cut-scenes. The achievements are also fairly easy to grind. Any DBZ fan should definitely own this.

Turns out it was worth waiting 20 years for the PS2 game of my dreams

(Reviewed after I just beat cell games. Used hard difficulty post frieza saga.) It is overall a good and fun game, I enjoyed the flashiness of some attacks (without being an epileptic hazard), the transformations are cool (Although I wish you could use Kaioken while using Super Saiyan) and overall it is a simple but enjoyable experience. I do recommend buying it even as I am about to list some gripes. First off: The combat, as mentioned, is very simple which usually wouldn't be an issue if the enemies couldn't just decide to ignore things like hitstun and retaliate with extremely powerful combos and attacks that mow your hp down, which then greatly hinders your own combo capabilities and damage. Your ability to charge ki and fight back ar also hampered by this issue. The wild encounters are interesting at first but there are only so many fucking times you can hear "Might cause trouble later, better deal with it now" and "I think I can handle it" as you fly around. The fights themselves quickly become a chore as the drones they bring can heal and buff the foes- taking them out isn't easy either as they can be healed by their own effects or by other drones and their hp pool isn't nothing either. I might go back to normal difficulty and hope to alleviate this issue. The voice acting was sort of stiff and awkward at a *few* points but that was mainly the beginning of the cell saga with android 17 and 18, otherwise it has been great. The game has a problem that a majority of games like it does- having to *win* every fight. This complaint might not make much sense but I mean that... If you are fighting a "super strong" foe that is so much stronger than your character (Ie raditz vs goku at the beginning of the saiyan saga) you can't "win" by any other means than defeat. It would be more ideal to have the score system be based on time "survived" before you got your ass handed to you. Some awesome scenes were unfortunantly cut such as Goku beaming off the top of Cell during their fight, or Cell being heavily injured after the first beam struggle with Gohan. Overall, as I first stated, I still recommend the game but the complexity might be a turn off for more than a handful of people. Edit: Post-Buu and finished the base game. After lowering the difficulty back to normal it seems like enemies got less absurdly tanky but their hp drains super quick now once again. However winning beam clashes feels less rewarding than if you just side stepped out of the way and then used your own beam while they are stuck in the animation. Part 1 of the god DLC is... weird? Its like it is intended to be played when you first start the game but that might screw up balance since rewards include XP giving items, and getting transformations such as super saiyan- however if you start it super late into your playthrough you end up being too strong for certain challenges

if you want a DBZ game for story and roaming around the world, then get this and play on easy if you want a DBZ game for the combat, play tenkaichi 3 or sparking zero or just get a GBA and play legacy of goku 2 and buus fury
