good, but lacking for the hardcore fan

The game plays pretty well and the graphics are good. But, there are some very key areas that make this game boring. The cut sequences don't explain enough of what's going to first time players, which would make you think its geared towards people who know the story, but it's not good enough for even that. After skipping out on key sequences (like when Vegeta was beaten Oozaru Gohan), to completely jumping over when trunks arrives and the actual realization that Vegeta is his father. The story feels just as incomplete as a Soul Caliber or Tekken story.

There are many characters that should have been in the game as well. If they had the time to render characters, like cyborg Freeza and all of the characters from the Janemba arc, for the FMV cut scenes, they could have at least put them in. I realize that some of it may have been awaiting DLC, but that would bring up issues like, why pay for content that appears to be in the game already and, also, why is it not out 6 months after the release of the game?

Good, worth a rent, not a buy though.

Well I rented this game because the demo was a pretty fun thing to play, unfortunately I was extremely unimpressed by how just bland this game is. it has VERY odd learning curve. overall it was just another Fighting game and I kinda hoped it went further into the series. Some times it was very easy to win because of the simplicity for the controls. and it was difficult to get any kind of combination because of its simplicty. overall a mediocre game

So after spending some time with DBZBL I would have to say that i am disappointed. This is a game that should have been brought to PS3 and 360 years ago. Graphically speaking there are some really amazing things they have done, especially in the animation. Even though the graphics are good I still want the game to look like the opening to DBZBT2The fights can get furious with power, and speed. The menu screens and hud are nice touches. When a character transforms or hits a AURA spark it looks very good. There is great joy in launching a character into the sky and smashing the buttons to see who will win it out. Now the bad, I cannot figure out for the life of me why they came out with six games and now that we are on the big boy systems we are starting over and only including 2 sagas. If PS2 and the WII can handle over 100 characters and all the sagas why is the 360 and PS3 getting shafted? I understand we have to make money in the video game industry but come on. Is Bandai really going to make us buy each one of these games again slowly adding one saga at a time as they did with Bodakai. honestly i think its kind of insulting to do that to us the fans. The characters are overly recycled with the moves and the animations. Now yeah we all know a lot of the moves are being recycled but it is more noticeable in this game than ever. Its almost as if they got super lazy, let's throw this animation here give these 2 characters this move. they do a horrible job of telling the story.The stages, are you kidding me 5 stages? With color variations and sky. That is not good when on the PS2 you have stages that number in the double digits and were DESTRUCTIBLE! Where is the battle damaged models at? The fight system has gone all the way back to the stone age. I am very happy there is no more split screens but the fight engine in DBZBT2-3 felt fast, intense and you felt like a power house.
This is not the game I expected and its a disappointment to fans.
