As a long-time fan of Dragon Ball Z and a big gamer, I was super excited to play the new Dragon Ball Z fighting game, “Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle.” After watching lots of trailers and hearing promises from the developers, I couldn’t wait to jump into the world of Saiyans, Namekians, and epic space battles.

After playing for several hours, I’m ready to share my thoughts on this much-awaited game.
First impressions are important, and “Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle” really impressed me. The graphics are amazing, making the characters look just like they do in the anime.
The details are fantastic—each fighter’s special moves, facial expressions, and even their battle-worn outfits are perfectly recreated. The bright colors and smooth animations make every fight feel like it’s straight from the show.
The game has a huge lineup of characters from the entire Dragon Ball Z series. From the famous Goku and Vegeta to the evil Frieza and Cell, there’s a wide range of characters for fans to pick from.
Each character has their own moves and transformations, making the fights varied and exciting. I enjoyed trying out different characters and learning their unique abilities and techniques.
The fighting system is where “Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle” really stands out. It’s easy for beginners to start playing but has enough depth for experienced players to master. The controls are simple, with basic attacks, energy blasts, and special moves easy to remember. But there’s a lot to learn, like chaining combos, managing your energy, and using each character’s special abilities effectively. I spent hours in training mode, improving my skills and finding new strategies.
One of the best parts is the Story Mode, which takes players through the main events of the Dragon Ball Z series. The story is engaging, with beautiful cutscenes that blend smoothly with the gameplay. Reliving big moments, like Goku’s first Super Saiyan transformation and the Cell Games, was a nostalgic experience. The story mode also offers alternate scenarios, giving a new twist to familiar events.
Multiplayer is another great feature. The game offers both local and online modes, catering to both serious and casual players. Online matches run smoothly, with little lag and a good ranking system that ensures fair matchups. I enjoyed challenging players from around the world, with each battle pushing me to improve my techniques and strategies.
However, the game does have some flaws. New players might find it hard to get the hang of things, especially when facing experienced opponents online. Also, while the character lineup is large, some fan-favorite characters are missing, which might disappoint long-time fans. Lastly, the in-game currency system, used to unlock new characters and skins, feels a bit slow, requiring a lot of playtime to get enough for the items you want.
Overall, “Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle” is a great addition to the Dragon Ball game series. Its amazing visuals, strong fighting system, and faithful adaptation of the anime make it a must-play for fans. Despite a few minor issues, the game offers an exciting and immersive experience that captures the spirit of Dragon Ball Z. Whether you’re an experienced fighter or new to the series, “Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle” has something for everyone. I’m excited to keep playing, unlock new characters, and perfect my skills in this ultimate battle of warriors.
