About

Fighting game that follows the anime's Saiyan and Cell Games story arcs. You pick from series characters and fight through campaign battles—Raditz kidnaps Gohan, Goku trains with King Kai, two Saiyans invade Earth, then the Cell tournament unfolds. Combat uses punches, ki blasts, and signature moves you unlock by winning World Tournament bouts. Practice mode lets you drill combos before story fights. Collecting all seven Dragon Balls between matches summons Shenron for wishes that boost your roster or abilities. The fighting system is 3D arena-based with guard breaks, rush attacks, and transformations tied to specific characters. Story mode is the main draw, but versus and tournament options add replay value once you've finished the campaign.
