Finally a new game about DBZ and the expectations were high on the next gen consoles and I was...... disappointed.
Burst Limit is a disappointment and not even close to the Budokai games. I played all 3 of them and loved the whole time. One of the main reason was the story mode. I played the story mod on the third game at least 5 times over to find all the secrets and skills. In this I have played the story mode once and I see no reason to do it again. You can finish all of the story and "bonus" stories in one go. The only reason would be to get drama pieces, special scenes that unlocks when you do certain things true to the series and I can't se that as something I want to waste my time on.
The story is also very short, well it includes alot of fights, a lot of weird fights just too prolong the game and it nearly becomes tedious. The game ends with the cell saga, and have the bonus stories. The story mode is fixed, you can't choose different characters taht have different stories, at most you can choose to skip or not to skip some scenes but that happens like 2-3 times in the story.
The short story means that you don't have many transformations, also the one existing just seems to change your skills, not like in Budokai were you became stronger and all. This is of course to open up for one or two sequels but I hate it
Also everyone remembers the tournament mode from Budokai and I loved it, it was fun and challenging but this have none of that, just a versus mode.
Other than that there is no kind of skillshop like in Budokai, every character that is static for the most of the time, the only thing that you can choose is the ultimate move, there is 2 or 3 for every character. Now you may think, "Oh that must be something you must unlock in some hard way" but no, just play the story mode and you will soon have them all.
The one good thing with this game is how it looks. Nothing else, my tip is to wait for the third game that will surely arrive at some time. This you will play the storymode and then put it away after playing som versus because the story has no replay value at all.
Yes I am making a lot of references to the Budokai games but I think most people can agree with me that they are the best DB games out yet. Actully I can't see a future with this game if they don't change many part of the games.
