During the close-quarters fights, player input is limited to pushing the right button at the right time for a counter-attack, reducing the gameplay to the level of "Simon Says". While these epic battles of energy-shooting, crazy-haired musclemen progress on screen, the actual gameplay found in DBZ: Ultimate Tenkaichi is limited. Unfortunately, in the midst of this flash is a lack of substance.
This adds a nice tactical element, requiring players to know when to charge up a special move of extreme destructive force, and when to stay on their toes and stick to lighter, briefer attacks. In traditional Dragon Ball fashion, characters have extremely over-the-top special moves that shoot enough mystical energy to power the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, though building up this level of power takes time that an opponent can exploit. The moves are fairly easy to pull off, but the stage is larger than most fighting games, with characters able to fly in three dimensions and use ranged attacks as well as fisticuffs. Like the Budokai Tenkaichi games from the last generation of gaming, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi is a fighting game based on flash over technique. In the case of Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, this take is the same derivative fighting game we've seen from many years ago. But this timelessness does not extend to its adaptations, which need to offer a unique take in order to succeed on their own merits. And in the East, there's Dragon Ball, the most memorable creation of Akira Toriyama and a continuing influence on manga artists everywhere. In the West, Star Wars continues to be a staple of department stores everywhere, despite the main trilogy having ended nearly three decades ago. There are parts of the fights that are pretty much a game of chance and even when you do fight a boss, it is a very simple pattern that you have to figure out.Sometimes stories become so popular and so memorable that they endure in merchandising long after their end. All of the characters despite their moves looking different play pretty much the same. Look, I enjoy this game, but I will admit right now that this is a very, very shallow fighting game. They even have voice acting from the actual show which helps add to the authenticity of it all. The characters look great, the animation is amazing and the flash and style of the fighting captures the look of the show pretty much perfectly. It does make people say that Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi is more style over substance (and they are right to be fair) however, fans of the show will love how faithful this game is to the show. Back in 2011 no other Dragon Ball Z game that came before it looked as good as this. I feel like I am saying “at the time of release” or something else like that a lot in this review! However, I feel that is the best way to describe it. It is pretty basic, but at the time I thought this was awesome and it was something new to the series. In this mode, you get to create your own character and you play through a brand-new original story that sees you needing to find all of the Dragon Balls in order to save the world. If that is not enough, Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Tenkaichi has a second mode for you to play through as well.
