Jeff will never admit this, due to it being anime, but DBZ is like professional wrestling. And yes, it's dumb, but that's part of the fun.

Yeah, it's telling you the same story, lazily, but you've seen the story a billion times, you know how it goes! Unless they wanted to do full on cut-scenes like the way the first Budokai handled it, great! Otherwise, it's not that necessary. That being said, this game is fun if you just let it be. I searched 'Goku wrestling promo', and this is what I got. Even in co-op, while they let you play as whoever, you still have to select missions out of the story, which can limit what this game could possibly be, and undermines what they seemed to be trying to prevent in single player mode when the first confrontation with Raditz is with a team of Trunks, Majin Buu, Android 17, and Captain Ginyu. I love playing as Trunks w/ Sword, but I can't play as him in most missions before his arrival at the beginning of the Android Saga. I'm also appalled that they didn't have any sort of offline mode beyond story mode, where they force you into situations with certain characters. Hell no, it is not worth the $60 bucks, and it kind of astounds me that they thought that was okay. I am the hope of the universe! I am the yadda yadda yadda gon' get lit up, check out my hair, whoooosh. Okay, apparently no one else wants to defend this, so I will.

If there are any other questions, for those who are thinking about picking it up but aren't quite sure, you can comment and I'll reply back when I can, I frequent the site every day.) I'd also like to say that I have not finished the game, though I've gone past the credits in the story mode, and played quite a bit of co-op and such. It's not fantastic, and the context is that I'm replying to overwhelming negativity towards the game, whereas had I written this with solely a review in mind, it would better fit the score. (I saw that no one else had reviewed this game, so I thought I'd repost my comment on the Bombers' Quick Look for Battle of Z.
