NYCC: Hands-on with Dragon Ball Z
New York Comic Con had a great deal of games based on anime franchises. But, they were all on the DS. The one game that I had to play was the upcoming PSP Dragon Ball Z game. I got a chance to talk to some representatives from Atari and I had a blast. As you can see in the embedded video above, the graphics are quite smooth, and the presentation is quite sleek. The "Another Road" mode offers an original story for DBZ fans to appreciate. Load times? Minimal. The controls were incredibly accessible, creating for fast, fun battles.
The game looks to be quite ideal for on-the-go play. I wonder if it'll feature enough depth to satisfy hardcore gamers. Also, with my relative lack of inexperience with DBZ games, I have to admit, I'm not exactly sure how much Another Road expands upon the franchise. Can it feel fresh, considering how it's Atari's 26th DBZ game? We'll find more closer to its March 20th release.

Okay, I just saw a bit of the video and it looks EXACTLY the same as the first Shin Budokai, are you sure you didn't upload the wrong video? I can't tell the difference between this and the first, I've loved the Budokai games on the PS2 and Shin on PSP but this looks the exact same as the first, WTF?

And? Devils May Cry 3 looks like Devils May Cry and We love Katamari looks like Katamari Damacy. These things are called sequels. They tend to look a lot like their predecessors.
Anyways, While it looks like a good solid game, To be frank, I have Zero interest in this game. Once again it all comes down to reviews and word of mouth...and if my friend gets it (He bought the first one) if atari wants my money.

Sadly it does look almost exactly like Shin Budokai.
Good thing is I really liked that game (I did get all of the stamps).

This game may look like the first game but the gameplay is much much different than the first Shin Budokai.

Another Road my look like the first Shin Budiokai, but the gameplay is much different than the original. It think that this will be a great addition to the series, but nothing that will revolutionize it.
