  6.0

  The huge assortment of characters, stories, costumes, and other aspects of Dragon Ball lore cannot hide how shallow and uninspired the fighting mechanics are. There is no depth to your actions, making it a slow-paced race to be the first person to build up your ki power, which quickly becomes monotonous. With the wide assortment of deep and varied fighting games already on the market, it’s impossible to ignore the many faults present in this often-dull anime-inspired brawler.

  Raging Blast had all the makings of an amazing Dragon Ball game but comes up short in all the places that count. Sure, all the great characters are present and there are enough extras to keep fans wanting to jump into a tournament but the gameplay just falls flat to make the battles too awkward. There have been great Dragon Ball games before but, sadly, this one does not qualify.

  There have actually been some good Dragon Ball games in the past few years, and that's true whether or not you're even a fan of the series. However, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is not one of those games. Sure, there's lots of content, but the stories are poorly told (which alienates people who don't already know them) and the gameplay mechanics have numerous, numerous problems. Big DBZ fans may find something to like here, but you'd need to really like Dragon Ball in that case.

  Dragon Ball: Raging Blast has a lot of things going for it including an interesting story mode, great graphics, and a huge character roster. However, the foundation of the game - the battle system - isn't very fun, and that sinks the whole experience. I would have really loved to get the full Dragon Ball Z experience with this game, as it is the most inclusive entry in the series to date.

  El resultado, como ya decíamos: un juego previsible y satisfactorio, pero que no aporta nada nuevo. No es un intento fallido, porque no decepcionará a los que busquen un Tenkaichi en alta definición, pero sí una oportunidad perdida para hacer evolucionar la fórmula aprovechando la mayor potencia de estas consolas.

  Nada resulta particularmente memorable o molesto de Raging Blast, y ese es precisamente su mayor problema, quedarse en una peligrosa tierra de nadie. Con una licencia de esta calidad es más que obvio que debemos exigir una mayor calidad para los productos, y es que con dos entregas Next-Gen ya va siendo hora de que la saga levante el vuelo con un golpe de autoridad.
