Best DBZ game on PSP (Highly recommended for tenkaichi fans who travel)
The game is technically proficient, the same interesting story with a few Whatifs, and tag team features make this title stand out of portable DBZ games, especially tenkaichi fans.
Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team tells the story of Goku, who went on to become Earth's favorite Saiyan hero and met friends. It begins with the Saiyan Arc and moves quickly into the meatier story arcs. The game's progression system features a giant Goku who moves around a giant world map "bumping" into friends and enemies who share dialogue, like in SB:AR. But it is the Kai voices of some characters now. And there is no introduction movie which is fun to watch. The progression system is unfortunately dull, but at least it gets the same old story elements out of the way with some amazing speed, which is a good thing.
However, after a few non-so-random encounters with classic Z foes, it's hard not to wonder what the point is. Still, there are some elements here that are new, although they feel a bit finite to the experienced DBZ fan. The selling point, of course, is the tag-team battle system, which allows you to team up with a CPU partner during story fights. The tag team system works well enough, and the AI is surprisingly good at adapting to your fighting strategy in team battles. But One on One battles are so easy from now on.
Of course, the tag team element would be best put to use in a multiplayer setting, and to some degree, it is. And by that I mean there is an ad-hoc multiplayer mode where you and a friend can take on two other teamed-up friends. However, the ad-hoc multiplayer component is not the most convenient multiplayer option, and I was sad to see that there were no online multiplayer options, as that would have given Tenkaichi Tag Team some serious replay value.
But do not think it does not have intersting battles, the Battle 100 mode is full of fun with weirdest teams. It gets harder and harder as you progress, unlocking items for you to customize characters and there are team items this time too. The team items like Reliable Ally and others provide you an experience you will not get in any DBZ games released yet.
Yet another mode for hard battles is Survival which is now filled with harder , harder and even harder teams. Try and beat all of them. The game is easy for those who just want fun for some time. But it is harder for those who want to achieve 100% ratio on this game.
This game is good enough to spend money on for DBZ fans. I can give it 9.0 or 8.5.
