All the kicking, punching and ki-blasting you remember from last year's game... except now it's this year

Everything else is just like you remember it or better. It looks fine without being fantastic. The controls feel about the same – arguably a tad more responsive. The upgrade system has gone from capsules to cards laid out on a grid, but is still quite familiar. Multiplayer is exactly the same - two-player ad-hoc only. There's also a goal-based Challenge mode, time attack, survival, and an arcade mode. And the one-on-one fighting is again decent and packed with explosive special moves, though most characters feel quite similar and it lacks the polish of serious fighters like Tekken: Dark Resurrection. If you don’t have either DBZ PSP game, buy this. If you have the first one already, you may want to rent this, plow through the story mode, and give it back.

You'll love
  • Story mode tries new things
  • Quite a few fighters
  • Bombastic fighting
You'll hate
  • Too-similar characters
  • Eternal loading screens
  • 90% the same as last year
