Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero takes the legendary gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series and raises it to whole new levels. Make yours the destructive power of the strongest fighters ever to appear in Dragon Ball!

Runs well on modern hardware.

Finally a DBZ game that doesn't suck Dragonbaaaaaalls. This game will really make you FEEL like Frieza, but twice as racist. You can be Goku, the guy from Fortnite!! Yes playing this game reduces the amount of girls that are interested in you but it's a fun game and you can make Vegeta blow himself up in this game, so it's a good trade off. This was the game I always dreamed of as a kid when I only had DB Final Bout on PS1. It has its faults, and probably should've had a bigger budget to maintain the same level of quality throughout the entire game. The game is a pure love letter to DBZ. Still just as amazed as an adult that Krillin got to bang Android 18 as when I was a kid though. It’s a great game, probably the best Tenkaichi. But it’s a game from another era. They didn’t know how to adapt it to the present day. The magic of Tenkaichi was exactly the way you’re playing it: you’d get together with your friends, run tournaments, bring the PS2—it was the best. Nowadays everything is online, loot boxes, battle passes, skins, things like that, and the game doesn’t offer a good online progression experience. Ranked matches, even though the fun of Tenkaichi is that the characters are unbalanced, aren’t up to the standard of a fair system. It’s almost impossible to balance fights in that sense. But yeah, I went through all of it, we played at the start and it’s really fun—I’d even say much better than Tenkaichi 3. But the game feels like it belongs 10 years ago. The game itself though is amazing, it's the perfect Dragon Ball game to me, just like I expected. But people online are not fun at all. So it's great as long as I play mostly offline. I wanted a fun DB game to relax and play competitively with a fun huge cast and fun gameplay. I feel I've gotten exactly that and enjoyed it very much. There’s little solo content but the combat is addictively fun. The game is amazing the community not so much (which you would know if you looked in the sparking zero discussion board). But if you can get friends or your wife’s boyfriend to buy it and y’all play it or have buddy’s come over and play in on the couch it’s great and then you rarely have to play online with randoms. There are several things I wish were included that would improve it in my opinion, not the least of which being a variety of customization options. In this day and age there's no reason every character doesn't have multiple variants of their outfits in terms of color pallete swaps at the bare minimum. But also the simple things such as accessories. Vegito Blue with a scouter, Saiyan armor, and a Saiyan tail should be easy to run without the need for mods, for instance. Expand customization, add onto the episodes and include obvious missing character arcs like Cell and Buu and the rest of Vegeta's, and keep working on the balance of gameplay and I'll be playing a long while. It's difficult to be optimistic about the future and longevity of this game when you're rational though. Personally I wouldn’t listen to the people saying it’s a bad game. I need more people to beat after all. Plus it never gets old watching the blonde pointy haired guy yell really loud and punch the other blonde pointy haired guy! Finally, always remember a true saiyan always sprinkles when he tinkles! 8/10 Goku's Dragon Ballsack
A good chunk of the roster is gutted to be resold as DLC. I don't give good reviews for fighting games that follow this trend. The last 3 games didn't do this, but hey, what other standard do you expect from a neo-20's release?
Un juego muy bueno con un platino que se goza de principio a fin recomendado para jugador completista como casual...
