Chapter 4 Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai walkthrough PSP
0For the first two games, Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai and Shin Budokai 2 Another Road, I am going to talk in general about the first, as they have similarities in gameplay, and then get to what makes each one unique. Okay so the two are fighting games. The camera makes the fighting go in a 2D fashion, but even if you fight like this, you will still rotate around the map in 3D. Also the fights are epic. Characters, except for Android 18 and Janemba, all have transformation forms, and super sayans like Goku or Vegeta a lot of forms. For example Goku can go from base form to Kaioken to super sayan 1 to 2 up to super sayan 3.
The game formula in both games in what the story mode is concerned involves a story element at the beginning and end of a stage, and in rest there are only fights. The game is a long succession of fights with story in between. And I have to say that the game formula works. It gets you hooked, because the story is good, and the fighting is even greater. Aside from just punching and kicking you can also use ki attacks, and if you charge your ki enough you can transform into a greater form.
And aside of the story mode, called Dragon Road, you get other modes like time trial or survival, which all involve the same thing, fighting.
In the first game you get 18 playable characters and 7 locations, and in the second one you get 24 playable characters and 10 locations to fight in, and the fighting system feels a little better, even if it’s almost the same.
In the second one you have some crappy free roam element, but fortunately It isn’t proeminent in the game. And also after you’ve finished the awesome stories in both of them you can play ad-hoc matches with you friends, as the games have this feature too.
