Now attacks like this have more of an impact with blasts being shown launching off the planet, and large craters being left in their wake. With previous games, a beam attack like the popular Kamehameha could be fired onto an enemy with so much as a few rocks flying up from the ground. Improved environment damageĪnother improvement is the arena destruction.

Fast pace teleporting clashes and up close punch smashes are styled like rock-paper-scissor quick time event guessing games similar to previous DBZ fighting franchise Budokai. The camera also can briefly set into a more classic 2D style.Īlso added are different types of classing moves. If melee combos are being dealt, the camera gets up close to the action. In this new iteration, the over-the-shoulder camera thats been the norm for Spike's DBZ franchises has been improved to be more dynamic. As such fighters can be knocked around and attacks can be dodged in more grandiose fashions. The environments themselves are very open due to the game's 3D fighting style that strays from mainstream fighters. The fights take place in large destructible environments that are recognizable from the fiction. The matches are one vs one and use a selection of characters from the Dragon Ball Z franchise we all know well.

Spike is creating somewhat the same style of fighting games they're known for. While it is not the last Dragon Ball game from Spike, it is the last to use their unique over-the-shoulder style (which would be replicated in some later games, such as Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z and Dragon Ball Xenoverse). Along with a revised roster and gameplay mechanics, the game features a bonus story mode where players can customize their own Saiyan protagonist. It is the spiritual sequel to both the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast series of fighting games based on the Dragon Ball manga and anime series. Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi (known in Japan as Dragon Ball: Ultimate Blast) is a 3D sci-fi fantasy fighting game developed by Spike and published by Namco Bandai for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in North America (on October 25, 2011), Europe (on October 28, 2011), and Japan (on December 8, 2011).
