Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 Game Review

I loved Dragon Ball Z/GT as a child and still do today, so when a new game is announced i am always extremely interested to find out if they have finally managed to give the fans what we have been waiting for. Namco Bandi have released a string of games dedicated to the franchise but none have ever felt like the perfect Dragon Ball game, i always come away expecting more and wondering why certain characters, story missions, or items have been left out. This year we have the second in the Raging Blast series, Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2, and sadly it is just another disappointment.

Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 is fairly similar to most other fighting games with a few twists that fit in with the Dragon Ball universe. You manoeuvre some of you're favourite characters from the TV show and battle on huge environments pulling off signature moves from the series. Characters scream and groan when powering up creating the authentic Dragon Ball feel, sound, and look in each battle. The transformations make this feel like every battle has been just ripped out of the the Anime and it will please fans.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 Game Review

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 will impress on first glance with it's fluid character animations and beautiful graphics, topped off with fabulous backdrops that help bring the Star Wars universe to life. This however is sadly as good as it gets, a short campaign with an average storyline fail to capture the imagination of what a Star Wars story should be, as well as a lack of depth and re-play value make this a game really just for the fans.

The Force Unleashed 2 is the same as it's predecessor for the most part, it's the Force like you've never seen it before. The result is extreme supercharged versions of what we are used to seeing in the films. The experience goes from a typical hack 'n slash to a Force-embued beat 'em up where you can create some of the most devastating and destructive action sequences in a video game. Through your playthrough you will take on many situations that seem Force-exaggerated, move vast objects with the power of the Force, as well as dismembering whoever is in your path. Dismemberment is one of the welcomed new touches that makes the game feel and look much more like a game from the Star Wars universe, it is also sickly satisfying and fans of the movies will be very pleased with this new addition.
