  1. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast manages to recreate with great fidelity Dragon Ball's anime series. The great richness of characters, modes and other contents makes it the best game in the series, absolutely suggested to all Toriyama fans, but not only: it's a good fighting game suited also for every lover of this genre.
  2. While the game’s got plenty of flaws that will bruise the experience for the average gamer, fans will likely look past the technical issues and enjoy reliving the series again…at least long enough for the next inevitable Dragon Ball game to come along.

    Simply put Dragon Ball Raging Blast is a game for fans of the long running anime series. Its does its job not perfectly, but well. The game does make you feel like super saiyan at times, and then turns around and makes you feel like a green blooded Namek instead.
  4. It’s a sluggish, unintuitive, stumbling mess of a fighter, with only a handful of redeeming features, none of which raise it much further from the gutter of ineptitude it resides in.

    This game was just plain fun, and I have owned Street Fighter 4, Teken 6, and Soul Caliber 4. It really feels like the show, with lots of replayibility and more characters than the average fighting game. The online is lag free, the story mode is long (But doesn't tell the story well), and you can pick it up and play it, while leaving lots of room for improvment. This game is a lot better than Burst Limit, and I enjoy playing this with my friends more than Street Fighter 4. Why? Because the World Tournament mode is awsome, the 3-D arenas with destrtibale objects is awesome, and this game is awesome! Gameplay: 9 / 10 Music : 10 / 10 (I didn't expect this much guitar) Multiplayer: 9/10 Replayability: 8.5/10 Fun : 9 / 10 Expand

    This game has some things that are nice some are not. First, good things: story mode pretty nice, graphics excellent, battle is pretty challenging and sooo hard to beat up (nice) ; Bad things: Can´t unlock camera (its always pointing to the enemy, hate that), when you lose a battle and battle is over sometimes if the character is charging you still have to wait until he finishes and then is game over, can´t put on a started game restart level or fight, it takes to long to transfome and to change character. I think thats all. Expand

    Seriously this game is not the best ever but giving it a 57 is totally stupid... Of course the camera is a little bit hard at beginning but with time you know how it works... But there's a lot of characters, customisation, story. Seriously A good game which is a good 8 Expand
