The Dragon Ball Z computer game series is based on the hugely popular Japanese animated television series. The original series fitted into the genres of science fiction and action adventure and was created by Akira Toriyama.
The game follows the adventures of Goku, Faily and friends. They fight evil forces that are planning to destroy Earth. The game’s story line revolves around seven magic Dragonballs that are hidden across the planet. The Earth’s guardian, Kami, created the Dragonballs. When all seven Dragonballs are found and collected in one place a dragon is released and will grant a wish to the person who has achieved the feat. In this quest, the game involves a lot of fighting. Dragon Ball Z freely borrows places and scenarios from the animated series on which it is based.
The games were first released on arcade machines and all major home consoles of the time like those of Nintendo, Sega, Jakks, Apple Pippin and the Mega Drive. The latest versions are available on the PlayStation, the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation Portable, the Xbox, the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Game Boy, the GameCube and theWii.
The current versions of the game involve heavy fighting. Players can choose one of the several modes available. In the story mode, the players follow a story line and try to complete a goal that will lead to the end the story. In the arcade mode, players fight different opponents in a limited period. There is also a time attack mode in which the best time for completing a course has to be set by the players.
The game has been well designed and contains all the characters in the original animated features. The martial arts moves have also been well done. The player has to select a character, defeat opponents and collect points. These points, in turn, unlock other features of the game. The story mode is well written and unfolds very smoothly. The players use the console’s controllers to defend, attack, move or fly.
Every character has a different style and a unique combination of powers, which adds to the enjoyment, as a player has to master each character separately. This also adds to the challenge of the game. The game has various difficulty levels depending on the player’s preferences.
Dragon Ball Z is perhaps one of the best fighting games on the market today and its titles are equally successful among children and adults.
