After a long dry spell a real success!

Since the Budokai series, I am now addicted to the Dragon Ball games and was visibly disappointed as a fan of the series of all that has been published by Raging Blast 2!
But what have made the developers a homage for the Dragon Ball fan. It was everywhere taken and built a little out of the last parts.

Graphics:
On the PS3, the cel-shaded look is very well done, the best graphics for a long time.

Story:
I do not want spoilers, but who knows the series, which it is fed up to play the same again and again. The "plot twists" are well chosen and provide the odd surprise. The new enemy is stereotypical and could actually the series have sprung.
Our own self-created character however is what makes this game. My fan's heart jumped through the area, as I have read a list of skills that you can unlock for his character. In addition, the idea has been well accepted by the mentor system from "Ultimate Tenkaichi" been well reduced and improved.

Gameplay:
The combat system is running under the slogan "Less is more". Such a simple combat system, there were probably with "Ultimate Tenkaichi" (which in my opinion, the lowest of all combat systems had been) a long time. But this feels not bad. The control is a completely new and throws the familiar "Tenkaichi 1-3" - and "Raging Blast" players at the deep end. But who accustoms himself to the controller, which will state that no other game in the series was previously dynamic and easy to equal. And then even multi-battles ... terrific.

From predecessors together tinkered Gameplay:
"Battle of Z": Multi-battles
Tenkaichi / Raging Blast: Dynamic combat system
Ultimate Tenkaichi: revised character editor with five races. Mentors bring a case their attacks.
Budokai / Raging Blast: Selectable attacks Sets + Items

But what bothers me about the PS3 version is that it feels as if the PS3 be expected too much. It comes to Ruckelleien in the upper world, and in a 3: 3-martial comes the PS3 with the processing of events simply can not cope and unfortunately it hooks (because you have to get used to then - hopefully going to be patched?)

Online Play
However, the biggest drawback is since Friday the server overload. I'll sometimes not even the game because you have to be connected to the Internet to come into play. It's just frustrating when you needed a game that was actually playable offline up to 20 minutes to play it!

I'd give this game five stars would be the server more resilient and without a hook, but I vacillate very strong 3-4 stars. My Fan Heart gives the game but 4 stars because I still hope to have patches and stronger server!
The basic principle of the gameplay convinced wholeheartedly!
