Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO has just been released for people all over the world! Should you purchase the long awaited continuation of the “Budokai Tenkaichi” series of Dragon Ball games?
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO has been one of the most anticipated games for almost 17 years. The last game, titled “Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi,” was released in 2007. Since then, fans of the series have been craving a new installment in the series, and finally it's here!
Sparking! ZERO is a 3D arena fighting game, and it boasts more than 182 different playable characters, all with their own unique and stylized move sets. It doesn't just have the most recognizable characters in it, it also features some lesser known individuals from the series such as Yajirobe, Chioatzu, and even Hirudegarn from the Dragon Ball movie, “Wrath of the Dragon!”
Sparking! ZERO gameplay is some of the most refreshing we’ve seen in years from a Dragon Ball videogame. If you’re in any way familiar with a 3D fighting game, you will still be discovering new ways to surprise yourself and your opponents with high speed combos and counters. Not only can you respond accordingly to essentially every attack someone hits you with, your opponent can counter your counter! This leads to insane scenes in which it becomes a battle of skill to see who can catch the other off-guard.
Some of my favorite features include the beam clashes, in which you and an opponent fire off an energy beam at the same time, making you release buttons accordingly to see whose beam gets to push past the other. The Z counter is where you time a button just as your opponent hits you, teleporting you behind them to follow up with a smash attack! But be careful, as the person you're fighting can do the same, so stay on guard.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is one of the best games to release this year in my opinion, and I 100% believe that if you are in any way interested in the series or some of the features I mentioned in this article, you should purchase this game. I don't doubt you will think it is one of the best purchases you’ve made.
