As such it’s a nice idea with the potential for fanservice, even before they start bringing in the movie villains and revisiting New Namek and the Other World. Oh I guess I didn’t explain that this game is a scenario outside the bounds of the series it explores how Future Trunks would have dealt with Buu in his timeline. And that’s even after finding a cheap strategy with Mr. I struggled to understand these missions early on, came to really enjoy myself in the middle as the plot went in different directions and I got to grips with it, but by the end had too much frustration and resentment from the growing difficulty curve and my inability to keep up. A neat idea in principle, but every map essentially plays out the same and an unlucky matchup late in the mission can really set you back, all the while each clash has multiple lengthy loading screens transitioning to and from the battle mode and rewards screens. You fly around an overworld map, protecting cities from bad guys. My problem with the missions is how much of an endurance challenge they are. Having Cooler, Broly, and Janemba show up in the story is silly and fun.

I did have fun when I felt evenly matched with the AI. By all accounts this is a good example of the genre. I don’t want to be unfair to the game, considering my blind spot for “traditional” fighters. Not to mention the incredibly sloppy proofreading on the script, but that’s just a nitpick. But part of improving at the game is not just practicing with different characters, but grinding for booster cards, getting lucky with or exploiting the opponent AI, and slogging through the map portions all while drowning in a sea of loading screens. Part of it was that I couldn’t git gud enough to beat the final mission, losing a half hour on each failed attempt. This game was ultimately frustrating for me. Unfortunately fighting games don’t always agree with me too well. Fighting games are a natural fit for the series able to have a wide selection of characters from the series’ cast, while trying to replicate the action that it’s famous for. Like many kids in my generation, I grew up with the English dub of Dragon Ball Z and GT on morning television before school. Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai: Another Road (PSP)
