Was hoping for more
Ok to begin i am a massive dragonball fan, i have played all the games from the first budokai onward and this is disapointing. The story is the same as always covering the sagas and a few what ifs. The online is good with a high level of character customisation and a good variety of match types. The museum is good for anybody who is unfamiliar with the story or the finer details of the story. Content wise its good value for money there is a lot to do in it, on and offline which is good. Graphically its good the environments are nice and large and the characters look essentailly the same as they do in the anime. You are also able to listen to your own music which is good because after a while the guitar tracks get a little annoying.On the bad side the game controls aren't great, the controls in the older tenkaichi games were great and the developers should of used them as the template for this game. The camera also gives a lot of bother very often not keeping up with the battle or your character going into a corner and you can't see whats going on. Overall its quite good but not as good as it should of been. In my opinion this should of been at least as good as the older tenkaichi games, but it isn't. I would only really recommend it to a dragonball fan, otherwise i think people would be very disapointed with it.

KA-ME-HA-ME-HAAAAAAAAA
If you are a true fan of the anime/manga then you will love this game and appreciate it much more than anyone eles.
The story mode of Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is called Dragon Battle Collection. Players can play through the original events of the Dragon Ball Z story, but their actions in battle can change the story in many different ways. Over 100 "Battle Frames" can be selected at any time, regardless of chronological order to which they appear in the series. The story spans from the Saiyan Saga up until the Kid Buu Saga. Battle Frames also include "what-if" scenarios that never occurred in the series, and completing all of them will unlock a special ending. Players can practice and hone their skills in the "Dojo". Players can also partake in the "Super Battle Trial" single-player modes. The online mode will feature a 16-player "Budokai Tournament", single or team battle VS, and a spectator mode where players can rate the fighters.

There are some problems with this game, the main one is the camera, when you are fighting the camera will move around trying to find your fighter but this can be helped with the click of the button witch allows you to move the camera view. Another is that the new additions to the game Super Saiyan 3 Broly and Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta are separate characters and cannot be transformed into. If you have played Budokai Tenkaichi 3 then you know that there are a lot of characters in it including ones from Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball GT, in Raging Blast many have been taken out but will probably return in the next one.

Playable characters are:
Goku (Base, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3)
Vegito (Base, Super Vegito)
Gogeta (Super Gogeta)
Kid Gohan (Base)
Teen Gohan (Base, Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2)

Raging Broly.
I personally Love multiplayers. And I love Dragonball Z. So this game was a purchase I have been waiting for, for months. I was only a little bit disappointed. the gameplay is amazing! I love the way it uses cutscenes, although some may find it annoying. Typically people look for the bad things in a game, so I'll say them.

The camera gets very annoying when your character goes into a corner (it won't let you see them, which gets infuriating when Vegeta is pummelling you into the corner more). The online capabilities, which sound and look interesting, are near impossible to get into, not to mention taking near an age to even get into the loading screen. (I haven't managed to play a game yet, someone disconnects and everybody is forced to exit). Also, the game has frozen once. Which was worrying. So, some bugs to fix, but I also have to mention the good parts.

The cutscenes (see above), were one of the best. The way they've brought a lot of people into the game is also something I enjoyed. The Cell games and the World Tournament are also more fun. If you get hit down towards the floor in the World Tournament, you don't automatically lose. Thankfully. Also, it leaves a LOT of spaces for online downloads, so I'm presuming there is going to be downloadable content in the future. OH, and theres also trophies! (you know, for the PS3 itself?) I liked that too.

I'd say buy it nonetheless. Maybe not for the price I paid, but wait a month or two. Or you could get it for christmas. Vegeta shouting "Final flash!" was enough for me to see it was 4 stars. ^_^
