Am I the only one that’s surprised it took this long for somebody to make a Dbz game in this style? An open world rpg dbz game feels like something that should have been made years ago.
this would of been even better if it started from Dragonball instead of Z, Kid Goku, Training with Roshi, Fighitng in the Tournament, Beating Piccolo, Destroying the Red Ribbon Army, Clinbing Korin Tower, Training in the Kami Lookout, etc
@@fizz6700 That's not true whatsoever. Z is much longer than the original series, Dragon Ball has 16 volumes while Z has 26. Dragon Ball would've been much shorter than Z. Most fans would've been thrilled, we've never seen the original Dragon Ball in a 3D game before, it would've been a better option than Z to start off the game series.
@@lordzenkai2004 Yea, it would be an open world version of Dragon Ball Origins game for the ds. Plus it makes more sense for an open world DB game rather than open world DBZ game because allowing players to fly so fast in DBZ kakorat takes out the significance of it being open world.
I like his Fighterz line more: *When Android 21 escapes* Piccolo: _OhnoyouDON'T!!!_ *holds his hand in air doing absolutely nothing* or his 180° spins instead of actually turning around to look at the camera, in Ultimate Tenkaichi. Then he would smile in a creepy way at you, lol.
I love this game. Its a basic, end of the work day, turn off your brain and play. The game has beautiful visuals and ive never felt more like a dbz character in their world.
Why don’t they make a DBZ game that starts off with Goku as a kid and goes all the way until the end of Super(NOT AS DLC). That would probably take forever to make but it’s better than releasing the exact same game every year.
Andrew Garfield actually they haven’t release the same saiyan through buu saga game for the last past couple of years and this is no doubt the best experience of that
What I love is that you can tell there was serious passion put into this game. From the voice actors and cast to the people behind the scenes to the ost. There was love and care put into this game and I’m addicted to it. If you’re a DBZ fan or Dragon Ball fan in general then this is a must-buy in my opinion. Definitely a very fun journey!
I haven’t had this much fun in a DBZ game in a long time. I’m definitely that little kid again re-experiencing my favorite anime. Props to the developers they hit the nostalgia level over 9000.
Did they not? Weird if they didn't have it when they had other lines done right. "YOU FOOL" to Frieza after he gave him energy was always a great line.
@@itsnottimetostop4462 Not really. The 8,000 quote is no where near as memed or quoted as the over 9,000. A matter of fact, in the US, people complained when they found out it was really 8,000.
I’d love to see a game that takes you from the beginning of Dragon ball to the end of Super, with a local multiplayer that has a MASSIVE roster. We almost had that with Tenkaichi 3, but it’s really dated now...
I appreciate the fact that they made Goku revert to his base form when gathering the Spirit Bomb. Beam clashes are fun as hell too! I freaking love this game!!
If you are a hardcore dragon ball fan you don't give 9/10, this game is unnecessary stretched out and boring in many situations, hardcore fans should give it a 7 much just because it's the whole anime in one game
The thing I liked the most in the game is you actually the character is getting stronger. Because you actually spend time to get specific character to level up and learning skills.
Huge DB fan here. I got the Platinum yesterday. I gotta say, I’m impressed with this game. It respects the source material but offers some new stuff too. Yes, most of the side missions are boring gameplay-wise, but the dialogue between the characters in these sub-quests more often than not provide insightful interactions and lore-building. The main campaign Cinematic seems could’ve used a budget increase at frequent intervals, but I felt it was adequate enough considering the sheer length of the story. Gameplay is super fun. Easy to get into, but still offers a moderate challenge to master. Some aspects of this game could’ve been dropped entirely, like the cooking and hovercar/mech segments, but they’re there if you want them. Overall, this game should tug on the heartstrings of any DB and be a great way for newcomers to enjoy the franchise! I’m curious to see if they give DB Super the same treatment. Bias aside, this game gets an 8/10 from me.
@@Montrell1225 for me it's a strong 9.Open world is lively,there are Og charatchers,noone was forgot from DB and DBZ saga.I went on to do a story mission but I've spent an hour actually going there cuz there is so much and it's so nice.If you are a fan I would definetly reccomend to buy it
@@Montrell1225 I've just finished the frieza saga and for a dbz game it's the most immersive yet, theres a proper sense of improving your abilities and stats to be a better fighter. Combat is satisfying. And the levels are surprisingly large at times
Y’know, I actually have to say that there were at least 30 side quests that dove more into the lore of Dragon Ball Z. Not to mention the inclusion of characters from other games. I feel like you didn’t dive into too many side quests if you thought they were tedious. Just a thought. This was a love letter to the series and it was beautiful for me, but to each their own
Coming from the guys that did Asura's Wrath, I would've liked them to push the envelope just a bit more with those boss fights. They played on the safe side here.
Honestly I don’t mind it’s flaws because no game is perfect. With that being said I think this game is perfect to me. It’s something I’ve been wanting since I was 12, I remember playing the legacy of Goku games and falling in love with an open world rpg dbz game. I always hoped they were going to make a remaster of those games and now there is a game that exist that is basically the legacy of Goku rpg + DBZ Sagas 3rd person view + upgraded burst limit graphics+ Xenoverse fighting style? This game blew me away.
@@AionShanks technicly yes but the english version still says 9000 ( what i mean is i would´ve loved to see the english version to keep the 9000 in as a joke)
It finally has the series bgm!!! A little softer tuned, but still, it Finally makes a cameo and truly gives it the Z sound and feel.. (no I haven't played it yet)
You cannot trash art bro. This game is a 9 period. No such thing as a perfect Gáme. But I’ve played every dragon ball game since Super Nintendo Dragon Ball Z. EVERY GAME. This by far has filled my eye and I love how my kid sits right next to me and waits for me to get home and play together so WE can continue the story. To me that’s priceless. Deserves a 9.
As a dbz fan, this game is a 9 for sure but to a more mainstream gaming audience, this game is competing with the lkes of FF7R and Persona 5... No way in hell DBZK deserves a 9 in that scenario.
It’s basic, lol. I actually seen someone say this games flight mechanics should be in a Superman game 🤣. There’s some enjoyment.. but the game is so basic man.
The game’s not perfect by any means but man I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve played of it so far. This is the type of DBZ game I’ve been waiting for, and I’m hoping that this game works as a foundation for a bigger, better more intricate sequel with more varied and fleshed out side quests that changes up the main story so we’re not just getting the same thing we got here. Maybe thinking too far ahead as the game has only just come out but Kakarot has been that much fun so far for me I can’t help but see it as the game that new titles in the future should be looking to build and improve upon. Also, what this review said about cooking, it’s worth it, stat boosts from are permanent and they stack, so it has a massive benefit should you choose to focus on it.
@@adriantroickic8477 They were also reviewed by different people and hence different likes/dislikes. I have friends who pretty much do not care for single player unless reconmended while I hate multiplayer only games, for someone really into the multiplayer scene they may find things more entertaining to them than an rpg. Stop treating a company like a single hivemind entity and you will get upset over the different views less.
Right up until 3:10, I was thinking, "if they took all the hours of screaming out of the anime when making this game, then that means the story would be about 45 minutes long."
I am so happy this game isn’t “play the main fight of a saga”. No this game is in my opinion the most faithful to the series because of all the minor fights you can play like Vegeta vs Cui, Dodoria and Zarbon, Gohan vs Goten, Gotenks vs Buu and many more! Edit: how can I forget the Goku and Piccolo driving mini game?
this is one of them games i wasn’t expecting much from because it’s really new for dbz to come at you like this. i’m having fun with the game but you just know the 2nd one and the DLC/ Game updates are gonna be amazing
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 what if a male had typed that? Would you have asked them to start making videos? Come on man, you're being defensive about this, I could care less though
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 you're just sitting here trying to justify hitting on a female on TH-cam, stop trying to hide it dude it's annoying... all I said is that you're thirsty, if you're not then why try to prove a point?
Pat Ftw Would love if they could adapt what came before DBZ into a game like this. As a fan of the manga as a kid I loved reading every single book all the way through, not just starting at the DBZ part. We need a game exactly like this with kid Goku meeting Bulma for the first time and going on adventures all the way to demon king Picollo and everything. I can dream I guess....
@@Ren33469 co-op in sagas was the only reason I played that game more then I should have. My cousin and I made that game fun somehow. Especially playing the future trunks secret mission arc
I think one of the things that the majority of people miss (I know I did) was a side mission after the fight with Kid Buu. (Spoilers? Idk) The start of the game shows you Goku sitting next to Grandpa Gohan’s house saying “Piccolo, you came” followed by the two powering up. At the end of the game there’s a side mission you can activate as Piccolo at Kami’s Lookout by talking to Dende. The mission has you as Piccolo do something Piccolo has “never had the time for.” You go to Goku who is sitting next to Gohan’s house and it plays out exactly as the intro; full-circle and I completely missed it the first time through.
Just listening to the background music from this review took me back into my days from the school when I used to wait for the next episode of the dragonball z eagerly. It reminds me my teenage and so many great memories. I’m sold 😁
I was really debating about getting this game even though I'm a huge DBZ fan...I didn't wanna spend all that time searching & fishing and eating...But now I love this game, even though we've seen this story a million times, the way they played it out, had me feeling like I was 11 years old again
This game deserves at least an 8. One of the best DBZ games you can play on major consoles. This game, Legacy Of Goku 2, and Buu’s Fury are my top 3 picks.
Anyone else find the SINGLE VOICE LINE that will play for flying, firing ki blasts, jumping, encountering enemies incredibly annoying. Every time you perform one of these actions the EXACT same voice line or grunt will play for that specific action.
it hasn't bothered me up until the point where i was trying to get a new ability for vegeta by fighting vegeta, raditz, and nappa. nappa kept using the same two moves and all i heard the entire fight was this dense cabbage of a saiyan saying the same two phrases for 3min
Probably could of got a 9 or 10 if they actually took more time with this game. Dbz games are notorious for rushing out a game. Just take a little bit more time, and get things as close to perfect as possible. But at this point it's just a cash grab and it's obvious. Dbz fans will continue to buy whatever these companies sell.
Auriel Ayala fighterz has a shitty story mode and it gets boring fast just like every other fighting game. Some people just want to beat a game and then move on
@@rkoowned3606 fighterz is at least trying to be original with it's story. And it's fighting mechanics are not for casual gamers as it is a fighter as you can see from the name. I give props to it and xenoverse for introducing new stories because I have been playing the same Dragonball storyline since 2002. I believe the future of dbz games needs to stick with expanding the z universe instead of the original story.
Awesome game makes you feel so immersed the combat is addictive and enjoyable. My only negative the dialogue is out of sequence as the characters are talking without moving their mouths
Allow me to present better titles: Dragon Ball: Son Goku Dragon Ball Super: Saiyan Gods Dragon Ball G- NOPE. Don't. Stop. Never. Not canon. Just leave it.
This game is great. It'll be better if it were a little more open world (Transform at anytime, not only in battle, do more random things, etc), and a little better with the fighting: (Where you fly in the air when you want).
A great game even tho I played the same story so many times It never gets tired! Childhood reborn again! Love the gameplay and great graphics. If u love DBZ u will love this game!
Food and meals are actually effective in the game. In this video, Gohan's level was 51 while facing Cell. In my play through, Gohan was level 58 while Cell was 52.
This is my favorite Dragon Ball game and it really gives the feeling of being in the dbz world, great graphics. The gameplay is less complex than xenoverse 2 but it looks stunning and a lot fun.
Man, I'd love to see Hunter x Hunter receive this kind of treatment. It's absolutely my favorite manga/anime (the 2011 version; love the original though) :(
Man i give this game a solid 9.8 out of 10. The intro is the best intro in any game ever, classic. I dont normally complete story mode games since i prefer online multiplayer but this kakarot game right here im playing for hours.
Dbz budokai 1 was in my opinion one of the best retelling of the dragon ball storyline it had solid animation for its time , solid fighting, a great soundtrack to go with the fight you were in, and it also had the blood and gore fans love so much I miss that in dragon ball games these days
The instant kamehameha scene was the last time we seen crazed looking Goku in the canon. How could they not include THAT tho? They don’t include the Final Flash either? Those are why cutscenes are really made. Beautiful epic moments
I really love this game, obsessed with the thought of the game including the Dragon Ball arc, then Dragon Ball Z, followed by GT and/or Dragon Ball Super. I AM EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THIS GAME.
I’ll have to give this game a 9. Gotta say, I’m having way more fun playing through this game than I ever thought I would. Hope they do a Naruto RPG next!
My thoughts are it's much like all the other DBZ games. If you're a fan you'll love it, but if you're not then not so much. I've played through a majority of the game and so far i love it. My verdict is an 8.5 given some performance issues, however if there is any patches for these issues I will gladly bump my score up.
My biggest concern is that it's uneven in it's faithfulness towards the anime and manga. Some of the parts that are missing such as Gohan 's rage after Piccolo sacrificed himself to save him should definately be there.
Principal Skinner exactly i pass on this with basic combat and goes no further than the buu arch they should have pushed it to the tournament of power maybe i would have been interested then
the side quests should've been used for the DBZ movies
Your first
Dlc
DLC...
If they did that, there wouldn’t be any dlc, and the games popularity would die quickly

It was. It was Dragon Ball Online.

Loy Tolbird So the Legacy of Goku games/series(for the GBA) doesn't qualify?

@@DEREKFISGER Just have both
Who’s everybody?
@@lusterlessnova3199 yeah but 2 have cutscenes

I have been always dreaming with a Dragon ball game with story mode just like this one.. Omg, i don't even know if that day will become in reality :'(
Piccolo: look a windmill
Piccolo not even a second later: is that a windmill?
My favorite one is when he sees a Giant Tree. He gives like 6 different lines about how amazing it is.
Thought i was the only one who thought this about the tree and windmill 😂😂😂
Look the windmill is spinning
I like his Fighterz line more:
*When Android 21 escapes*
Piccolo: _OhnoyouDON'T!!!_ *holds his hand in air doing absolutely nothing*
or his 180° spins instead of actually turning around to look at the camera, in Ultimate Tenkaichi. Then he would smile in a creepy way at you, lol.
😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
This game is missing "It's Over 9000!" nothing else needs to be said
Noooo I haven’t gotten that far yet and have been waiting to see if it’s there😭

Its also missing the final flash scene with Cell

One bad thing bad about the game, when Goku turns into SSJ3 he doesn’t scream as long
And when Kibito aks' Gohan to turn SSJ2 in the world tournament stage
Another problem you can't refill your health bar after you defeat your opponent
True, but it’s pretty accurate to the manga SSJ3 transformation.

You cannot trash art bro. This game is a 9 period. No such thing as a perfect Gáme. But I’ve played every dragon ball game since Super Nintendo Dragon Ball Z. EVERY GAME. This by far has filled my eye and I love how my kid sits right next to me and waits for me to get home and play together so WE can continue the story. To me that’s priceless. Deserves a 9.
They didn't even animate the grass haha this game is no 9, it's just an interesting concept
@@Cbrunning849 🧢
As a dbz fan, this game is a 9 for sure but to a more mainstream gaming audience, this game is competing with the lkes of FF7R and Persona 5... No way in hell DBZK deserves a 9 in that scenario.
@@chrisgangsta lol no way in hell final fantasy 7 remake deserves a 9 lol its not even a full game
@@fastasgaupthebargaining7174 Yeah its a game that takes around 90 to 100%.
Just flying around in this game is so fun, that's probably my favorite thing this game does compared to the others.
BIGTOAST75 th-cam.com/video/60Ogtp_2mV8/w-d-xo.html
Looks really fun.
Budokai 3 did that lol
BIGTOAST75 flying around feels like I’m playing a generic ps3 title they made it feel like I’m playing a cheap game
It’s basic, lol. I actually seen someone say this games flight mechanics should be in a Superman game 🤣. There’s some enjoyment.. but the game is so basic man.
I've been waiting for something like this since the Legacy of Goku games on gba
The game’s not perfect by any means but man I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve played of it so far. This is the type of DBZ game I’ve been waiting for, and I’m hoping that this game works as a foundation for a bigger, better more intricate sequel with more varied and fleshed out side quests that changes up the main story so we’re not just getting the same thing we got here. Maybe thinking too far ahead as the game has only just come out but Kakarot has been that much fun so far for me I can’t help but see it as the game that new titles in the future should be looking to build and improve upon.
Also, what this review said about cooking, it’s worth it, stat boosts from are permanent and they stack, so it has a massive benefit should you choose to focus on it.
"I'm soooo hungry" .....for more of this incredible DBZ RPG BABY.🥰😅
I think most agree it's a solid 8. Not that we really care what your # score is because you guys said fortnite was 9/10.
@@adriantroickic8477 They ranked fortnite above Uncharted 4???????? OK....
RedLogicGaming okay dude a 7 and an 8 aren’t that far apart so now you just being petty. Like come on bro
I agree, Fortnite bad.
@@adriantroickic8477 They were also reviewed by different people and hence different likes/dislikes. I have friends who pretty much do not care for single player unless reconmended while I hate multiplayer only games, for someone really into the multiplayer scene they may find things more entertaining to them than an rpg. Stop treating a company like a single hivemind entity and you will get upset over the different views less.
PRL 412 sounds a lot better, a 7 is barely worth $60+
Right up until 3:10, I was thinking, "if they took all the hours of screaming out of the anime when making this game, then that means the story would be about 45 minutes long."
I am so happy this game isn’t “play the main fight of a saga”. No this game is in my opinion the most faithful to the series because of all the minor fights you can play like Vegeta vs Cui, Dodoria and Zarbon, Gohan vs Goten, Gotenks vs Buu and many more!
Edit: how can I forget the Goku and Piccolo driving mini game?
this is one of them games i wasn’t expecting much from because it’s really new for dbz to come at you like this. i’m having fun with the game but you just know the 2nd one and the DLC/ Game updates are gonna be amazing
I like how you see the verdict number count up to the final score number. Gives it a nice climactic touch
Hi
Man you guys are so thirsty...
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 how am I white knighting???
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 what if a male had typed that? Would you have asked them to start making videos? Come on man, you're being defensive about this, I could care less though
@LivingOnLifeDyingfromLife187 you're just sitting here trying to justify hitting on a female on TH-cam, stop trying to hide it dude it's annoying... all I said is that you're thirsty, if you're not then why try to prove a point?
Now no more dbz saga games. This is the definitive story in game format
Pat Ftw Would love if they could adapt what came before DBZ into a game like this. As a fan of the manga as a kid I loved reading every single book all the way through, not just starting at the DBZ part. We need a game exactly like this with kid Goku meeting Bulma for the first time and going on adventures all the way to demon king Picollo and everything. I can dream I guess....
DBZ sagas at least had co-op though
@@Ren33469 co-op in sagas was the only reason I played that game more then I should have. My cousin and I made that game fun somehow. Especially playing the future trunks secret mission arc
Yep the next game will be the a mixture of super and GT... it gotta be we can’t go back and retell this story again
I think one of the things that the majority of people miss (I know I did) was a side mission after the fight with Kid Buu. (Spoilers? Idk) The start of the game shows you Goku sitting next to Grandpa Gohan’s house saying “Piccolo, you came” followed by the two powering up. At the end of the game there’s a side mission you can activate as Piccolo at Kami’s Lookout by talking to Dende. The mission has you as Piccolo do something Piccolo has “never had the time for.” You go to Goku who is sitting next to Gohan’s house and it plays out exactly as the intro; full-circle and I completely missed it the first time through.
Just listening to the background music from this review took me back into my days from the school when I used to wait for the next episode of the dragonball z eagerly.
It reminds me my teenage and so many great memories. I’m sold 😁
You mid 30s?
@@Apex7x just entered my 30s this 9th Aug 2021.
I was really debating about getting this game even though I'm a huge DBZ fan...I didn't wanna spend all that time searching & fishing and eating...But now I love this game, even though we've seen this story a million times, the way they played it out, had me feeling like I was 11 years old again
it might be a 7 star game overall but a 10 on 10 game for all hardcore DBZ fans
This game deserves at least an 8. One of the best DBZ games you can play on major consoles. This game, Legacy Of Goku 2, and Buu’s Fury are my top 3 picks.
Naa, it's boring as hell
I honestly hope they make a Dragon Ball Super: Kakarot, because doing the tournament of power would be freakin' intense!
Anyone else find the SINGLE VOICE LINE that will play for flying, firing ki blasts, jumping, encountering enemies incredibly annoying.
Every time you perform one of these actions the EXACT same voice line or grunt will play for that specific action.
lewis4642011 .. the game seems very lazy man.
Dude exactly! I was expecting the special cancel to have a different voice effect for every cancel you do or something...
The Notorious Samkaveli xenoverse is trash
it hasn't bothered me up until the point where i was trying to get a new ability for vegeta by fighting vegeta, raditz, and nappa. nappa kept using the same two moves and all i heard the entire fight was this dense cabbage of a saiyan saying the same two phrases for 3min
@@lilpp4791 I don't remember asking
The Kaioken×4 scene was disappointing compared to the anime!
Dude, it's like he just read that line instead of putting effort into it
Kazuma Satou agreed
This is true, however Cell Saga and especially Majin Buy Saga have their best representation ever. The ending is very touching.
Kazuma Satou looked better though
@@stathiskal no final flash and the ssj 3 scene is lazy
The side quest would of been amazing if it included all the unique characters of the whole DBZ series and their side stories
*Flies around as Goku in orb rings
*Has Super man 64 flashbacks
This game is definitely a 8.5
Reasons? I'm interested 😊😃
@@shadowclonemaster It covers nearly everything and the leveling in the game makes you feel powerful, and transformations are done right.
lalo38th two different games, you’re comparing a fighting game to an action RPG
@lalo38th FighterZ is a great game to pick up and play now and then.
I wished the game was bit original.
I already knew this game is gonna get a 7/10 before I even watch this video
Probably could of got a 9 or 10 if they actually took more time with this game. Dbz games are notorious for rushing out a game. Just take a little bit more time, and get things as close to perfect as possible. But at this point it's just a cash grab and it's obvious. Dbz fans will continue to buy whatever these companies sell.
I'm honestly surprised they never rate dbz games that high
@@blakemccolough9636 Very true. What do you think of Fighterz then?
Auriel Ayala fighterz has a shitty story mode and it gets boring fast just like every other fighting game. Some people just want to beat a game and then move on
@@rkoowned3606 fighterz is at least trying to be original with it's story. And it's fighting mechanics are not for casual gamers as it is a fighter as you can see from the name. I give props to it and xenoverse for introducing new stories because I have been playing the same Dragonball storyline since 2002. I believe the future of dbz games needs to stick with expanding the z universe instead of the original story.
Awesome game makes you feel so immersed the combat is addictive and enjoyable. My only negative the dialogue is out of sequence as the characters are talking without moving their mouths
This game has a lot of potential.
I'm excited to watch it unfold.
I will be buying it
I they ever have DLC I would love a mission where goku meets Bardock and they battle.
Hy
next game be followed in 2020:
Dragon Ball: Kid kakarot
Dragon Ball Super: Kakarot
Dragon Ball GT: Kakarot!
I hope 3 games released in 3 months!
@T 995 yeah, DbGT Kakarot was the last game after DB Super kakarot.
Allow me to present better titles:
Dragon Ball: Son Goku
Dragon Ball Super: Saiyan Gods
Dragon Ball G- NOPE. Don't. Stop. Never. Not canon. Just leave it.
@@theDABTAB with the perfect titles.
They releasing dbs kakarot as dlc
Dragon ball GT is best forgotten
This game is great. It'll be better if it were a little more open world (Transform at anytime, not only in battle, do more random things, etc), and a little better with the fighting: (Where you fly in the air when you want).
I wish a modern dragon ball game would focus, or at least include, the classic series.
In 15 years or so we will get dragonball Kakarot trilogy or legacy
There was db origin on wii that did that
A great game even tho I played the same story so many times It never gets tired! Childhood reborn again! Love the gameplay and great graphics. If u love DBZ u will love this game!
Still confused why this game has Kakarot in the title.
There are so many dbz games they're running out of titles
Maybe cause the games about a character named kakarot?
@@byronbarrientos8471 You don't even play as Goku half of the time...
@@STFUppercut69 True, but I feel like this game is more of a tribute/about the Dragon Ball story rather than a focus on the main character.
Should be called kid gohan hahaha
Food and meals are actually effective in the game. In this video, Gohan's level was 51 while facing Cell. In my play through, Gohan was level 58 while Cell was 52.
This is my favorite Dragon Ball game and it really gives the feeling of being in the dbz world, great graphics. The gameplay is less complex than xenoverse 2 but it looks stunning and a lot fun.
This game is so much fun. I’m loving it!
Protect him at all costs ign. This guy's a GREAT reviewer
Man, I'd love to see Hunter x Hunter receive this kind of treatment. It's absolutely my favorite manga/anime (the 2011 version; love the original though) :(
Yu Yu Hakusho too 😊
Heitor Gomes oh hell yes. That would be amazing
Only if One Piece or HxH could have this. I would love a FMA game
Hxh actually deserves it to the dbz stuff is getting old
@@harleybaker472 facts a game like that would be amazing
Man i give this game a solid 9.8 out of 10. The intro is the best intro in any game ever, classic. I dont normally complete story mode games since i prefer online multiplayer but this kakarot game right here im playing for hours.
Damn its about time....been waiting on an IGN review.......not bad I personally gave it an 8/10 so I guess the community has a clear consensus!
8.5-9/10. I’d love to see them improve it even further.
Do you only get to use time specific characters. Such as only use kid gohan during saiyan/namek saga. Trunks during cell saga. Etc.
Dbz budokai 1 was in my opinion one of the best retelling of the dragon ball storyline it had solid animation for its time , solid fighting, a great soundtrack to go with the fight you were in, and it also had the blood and gore fans love so much I miss that in dragon ball games these days
A 7 are you kidding me it's clearly a 9 and the best DBZ Game ever unless they remaster Tenkiachi 3
They should have left its over 9000 part in, and the super saiyan 3 sound track with bruce faulconer and gokus power up
The instant kamehameha scene was the last time we seen crazed looking Goku in the canon. How could they not include THAT tho? They don’t include the Final Flash either? Those are why cutscenes are really made. Beautiful epic moments
2 years later still playing it! Only missing attack combo's
A lot of important anime scenes are actually missing....
Like?
@@shinya_2543 vegeta, cell, final flash. Ultra trunks.
Yup, Cell just knocks Vegeta out and they totally skip Trunks going Ultra.
Im not even up to that part yet but Damn they skipped the Final Flash?! AND ultra Trunks?!?
@@shinya_2543 piccolo throwing Gohan at the mountain,vegeta's final flash Vs perfect cell,ssj3 Goku transformation etc etc
*when your so early that every 9 year old is spamming fIrSt*
First
You really wont find a lot of 9 year olds on a video about dragon ball lmao
When you say you’re so early which is akin to saying first
Also you would’ve called them 12 year olds if you weren’t around that age yourself
When the game BGM switches from Head Cha La to We gotta Power because you entered the Buu saga I almost cried.
I really love this game, obsessed with the thought of the game including the Dragon Ball arc, then Dragon Ball Z, followed by GT and/or Dragon Ball Super. I AM EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THIS GAME.
@Merciless Freak or rather, sad for you, your taste in games is bland? Yep
@@celphalonred1999merciless freak?
Thinking about getting but seems like cut scenes are like the TV show
This game is amazing, and I love to play it on my ps4 pro, im waiting for the dlc and game plus mode :)

@@vegeta5282 yes, season pass bro :D
Gikal when will it come out
@@vegeta5282 well im not sure yet, but I bet that we dont have to wait much longer, maybe 2 to 4 months :D
Mitch killing it with the reviews as always. Hope to see you reviewing One's Justice 2 when it releases!
Seriously though damn near all the early cutscenes look AMAZING but after Frieza it's like they stopped putting as much effort in them
I’ll have to give this game a 9.
Gotta say, I’m having way more fun playing through this game than I ever thought I would.
Hope they do a Naruto RPG next!
A 9 ? Man that why not everybody is a game review
I would like to see naruto, Done in dbz fighterz, style first.
My thoughts are it's much like all the other DBZ games. If you're a fan you'll love it, but if you're not then not so much. I've played through a majority of the game and so far i love it. My verdict is an 8.5 given some performance issues, however if there is any patches for these issues I will gladly bump my score up.
Yeah but completely open world and deep rpg
Just Another Guy it’s not perfect, but, you really think NBA 2k20 is closer to being a perfect game?
This review was 100% truthful and fair
My biggest concern is that it's uneven in it's faithfulness towards the anime and manga. Some of the parts that are missing such as Gohan 's rage after Piccolo sacrificed himself to save him should definately be there.
Not for me, I've been through this a million times in other DBZ games. I need gamplay or a unique story.
Principal Skinner exactly i pass on this with basic combat and goes no further than the buu arch they should have pushed it to the tournament of power maybe i would have been interested then
jon lopez they are adding super dlc. Not sure how far they are going into super. But it is coming
It doesn’t help that it’s the most repetitive game yet.
