 super saiyan fun! June 6, 2008

burst limit is the latest in a long line of Dragonball games and it is the first for the new consoles (360 & PS3) and is replete with a brand new graphics engine to take advantage of the new hardware.
The new graphics are "shiny" looking great, the basic control system is simple, with a few touches to make that will make the difference for button bashers and players. Drama peices take effect during the match and have varying effects to limited healing, to deflecting attacks, these can be chosen in the trials and versus matches. There are (apparently, havnt actually counted) 20 players and taken from the 3 "sagas" the game plays through, the saiyan saga, the freiza saga and the android/cell saga.
Unfortuanately it ends where most DBZ games to, at the end of the Cell saga, but there are to bonus "sagas" that appear when you complete the original three, they arnt official sagas but pretty much, but im not spoiling the suprise.
The campaign features quite alot of games, but as with many fighting cames there is only so long it can be, and i played through it in about a day on normal. Meaning single player may become boring.
BUT, the main strength of fighting games is multiplayer, and Burst limit's is fun. You choose your player, his ultimate move (most characters have a couple to choose from, and they will effect your playing style) and then your "partner" and support, he sits on the side lines and may offer help depending on your support choices. Suppport includes the drama peices earlier and things like partner support and senzu beans.
Combat is fast and furious, ki (energy) no longer needs to be charged but replenishes itself. Versus games are fun, especially with friends, but when online beware of people with low bandwidth/connection speed, and when joining battles your oppenents speed is shown next to your speed. Its no fun when your jerking around the screen and moves are coming out of nowhere.
DBZ; Burst limit, is a fun game and an improvement on previous ones. It may get old, but if you liked the previous ones you should like this.
p.s. if your not sure there is a demo on xbox live for download that features 2 of the battles from the singleplayer campaign.
