It all seems straight forward at first, with basic and charged attacks mixed together into combos, but it never quite pans out that way. Plus, a lot of fighters can transform into alternate forms which alters their move set once again. The real problem is laid bare as soon as you go into the ‘Tutorial’ mode, as there are a massive array of moves that can alter depending on whether you are on the ground, moving or in the air. Other modes let you set up tournaments, fight your way through battle zones of specific fighters or even head online to beat up your mates – all of which are just variations on the same theme.
There are also annoyingly tough ‘Ultimate’ battles that only the strongest will survive. Winning battles will unlock new challenges, often in other fighter’s Galaxies too, so you always have a new goal to aim towards. Taking on two fighters – one after the other – is a tricky proposition at the best of times, so how about five in a row, all while your health is decreasing? Frustration is the name of the game here. Each fight has its own difficulty, combatants and set of stipulations too, some of which can seem a touch unfair. This mode does recreate famous battles from the series, but as they are without any form of explanation, the meaning behind them is totally lost on newcomers. There is no story mode as such in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2, instead you can fight through ‘Galaxy’ mode with most of the fighters. It’s the kind of series that demanded attention from the start in order to properly understand what was going on and that is part of the problem with the game. To further confuse matters, some enemies then became allies and vice versa, not to mention the fact that even death didn’t seem to stop fighters from popping up with alarming regularity. Along the way he found out he was a member of the Saiyan race and could draw upon their incredible powers he also managed to get hitched, have children and fight a number of powerful foes along the way. The manga version of Dragon Ball followed martial artist Goku on his quest to find the mystical dragon balls. The art style for Dragon Ball will be instantly familiar to anyone that has played a Dragon Quest game or the more recent Blue Dragon, as Akira Toriyama is the man responsible for all of the above.
