Goku Dragon Z: Saiyan Warrior

Goku e la sua banda di Z-Fighters per addestrare e proteggere il pianeta

There are seven mystical balls that grant any wish when they’re all collected. Obviously, this attracts the most evil of characters and aliens, and it’s up to Goku and his band of Z-Fighters to train and protect the planet and its inhabitants.

After the 50th time playing through the same thing over and over again, it almost makes sitting through the story sequences pointless. I understand the games have no other storylines to follow, since the series has long been finished, but at this point, I can re-tell the entire story from memory, down to every detail.

The main mode, Goku Walker, lets you re-live all the major battles from the Saiyan Saga all the way to the Buu Saga. You take control of various main characters, shrunk down to tiny size with enlarged heads, and fly across a world map searching for enemies to bump fists with.

Although the game boasts over 70 characters, like past SSJ3 titles, they are largely made up of multiple forms for one character. For example: Cell has an Imperfect Form, Semi-Perfect Form, Perfect Form, Super Perfect. Other main characters are guilty of this too.

The biggest draw to Tenkaichi is that up to four combatants, two to a team, can fight each other on the same battlefield. This mechanic makes the fights more enjoyable and hectic, but definitely in a good way. Although the subtitle “Tag Team” can be a little misleading since you can’t actually switch characters during a battle.
