Warning: Uses original Japanese names.
Webfoot Studios proved that they could make a good Dragon Ball game after the disaster that was Legacy of Goku with its sequels, Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury. Unfortunately Taiketsu is not a good game.
Graphics: The graphics look like they were rejects from Donkey Kong Country and not in a good way. The characters are too blurry and un shaded. They should have used the graphic style that made the LOG trilogy successful.
Sound: The sound is the only good part of the game. Each track sounds like a 32 bit version of Bruce Falconer's score for the Toonami broadcast, and are really catchy. The only reason I gave it a six was because the tracks were ripped straight from the LOG trilogy.
Controls: The game feels kind of clunky. The low and high punches and kicks are L and A and B and R which feels kind of off if you played the Super Butouden series and Street Fighter 2 a lot. You can't throw ki blasts and charge with just the GBA's buttons. Overall, I think they should of played the Super Butouden games and Street Fighter more.
Story: It's a tournament fighter, what do you expect! Plus I don't like the fact that they called Buu a villain yet he's in his Mr. Buu form. And why are #18 and Kuririn fighting on Namek when it was clearly destroyed by Freeza?
Depth: You can unlock characters, but seeing that they play almost the same, they could of been in the game when you first play!!! And the fact that the bonuses are just a jukebox to play the music, images from the anime, (Were the developers lazy? Couldn't you put some FMVs in?) and cheats, where in a fighting game, make you look like the kid who picked Oddjob in GoldenEye, seem kind of pointless.
Roster: You can play as Son Goku, Son Gohan, Piccolo, Kuririn, #18, Trunks, and Vegeta at the start. Raditz, Nappa, Freeza, #16, Buu, Cell, Gotenks and Broli are unlockable. The game and its hype said that this was the first Dragon Ball game with Broli. Guess that means they never played Super Butoden 2 which has Broli as playable fighter. Personally, they should have added in Ginyu, Recoom, #17, Coola, #20 and Dabra.?
Difficulty: You can win every fighter by using a uppercut on them. Nuff' said.
Overall, DBZ Taiketsu is one of the worst Dragon Ball video games out there. I wound't say it's THE worst. But this just plain shovel ware.
