It looks like a cartoon in motion, which is sort of the point, but it can make you stop in your tracks. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is a gorgeous looking game. Let’s start with the good stuff first, though. "Unfortunately, as it turns out, the shiny graphics and the approach of throwing as many characters and numbers into the mix as possible can only distract you for so long- the game is extremely shallow, and it's impossible to not get bored of it eventually, when every single match functionally boils down to you doing the same thing over and over again." It was an experiment, possibly a well intended one, but it didn’t turn out as well as it could have. It seems like with Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Z, Namco was trying to appeal to Dragon Ball Z fans first and foremost, even those that might not be interested in video games, and in the process, they made a game so simplistic so as to be almost dumb. And if you are playing it as a genre fan, then you will definitely be repulsed by its almost offensive simplicity within the hour. However, even given that, I struggle to think of someone who would truly enjoy this game- even if you were a fan of the franchise, there is only so long its shallow gameplay could keep you engaged, and its pretty graphics would only go so far in keeping the ‘new, shiny’ factor alive.

The target audience is either one that enjoys Namco’s admittedly fun and technical series of anime tie in fighting games, or one who enjoys Dragon Ball Z, or even both. Therefore, I am definitely not the target audience for Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Z.
At most I’m a casual fighting game player, and the most invested I’ll ever be in fighting games is at a party playing Super Smash Bros. I know I have reviewed a fair few fighting games in my time at GamingBolt, and sure, I enjoy playing them, especially with friends, I’m not the guy who manages to perfect frame perfect counters and string combos that run into double digits.
The second disclaimer- I am not a fighting game person. And while I got well acquainted with the franchise’s various pop culture trappings over the years, and even managed to consume its story in its entirety thanks to a series of excellent role playing games on the Gameboy Advance (The Legacy of Goku games- highly recommended if you can track them down), on the whole, I am not the person you are targeting with Dragon Ball Z branded, well, anything.
As the world was swept over by the anime, I found myself generally apathetic to the adventures of Goku, Vegeta, their pals, and their clan, with never even the slightest interest in the franchise. Right off the bat, here are a couple of disclaimers: I was never a fan of Dragon Ball Z.
