This is the latest installment ,but definitly not the last in the Dragon Ball Z series that has the people talking.This time around the game has more charachthers then ever before.In fact, it has just about 150 playable characthers including the namek Nail and King Cold, the father of the evil and dastardly Freeza.Also.Including the new characthers in the game.this game also has alot of improvements in the way you go and destroy your oppenent.There are all new moves with the correct names this time around.There is also a new kind of move that you can use to more effeciently destroy your enemy.The creators of this one have still kept some elements from the old ones though.If they didn't then they would propably just destroy the whole Dragon Ball Z franchise.Now we wouldn't want that now would we?They also have more music this time that is sure to keep you hyped for the battles to come in the Dragon ball Z world.There are tracks for people who like hardcore music,while there are tracks for the more casual listener to enjoy in the game.There is also a big improvement in the graphics of the game entirely.Now,I am not a graphic maniac that plays a game just so that he can get his fix on the graphics of a game.On the contrary I am really a guy that likes the story of a game and as long as the game has a greaat story then I am hooked to it till I beat it.Now getting back to the topic athand.this game has some new costumes instore for the characthers of the Dragon Ball Z universe,including the saiyain armor for Goku that was previously not avaliable in the games of tenkaichi.Now this game may have its many ups to it and im not saying there are tons of downs but evry grreat game has to have some downs.Am I wrong?This game has a really bad story mode to me.It cuts out some of the best fights in Dragon Ball Z history.One example of it leaving out a great and amazing fight is vegeta fighting great ape gohan.it stil has some of those great fights we love,but it really coul have improved the story mode and not have gotten lazy,otherwise I woulve gave the game a 10. All in All,the game deserves a 9/10
