This game is the latest in a long, longseriesof games that try to take the superpowered fighting action ofthepopular anime series and adapt it into a compelling fightinggame.The results here prove to be mixed. The visuals ably reproducethelightning-quick speed and tremendous power that make the battlesinSaiyan Fighting exciting. However, the fighting system lacksthedepth and nuance to actually capture that excitement, makingRagingBlast a game that Budokai Another Road fans may enjoy foritsbreadth of content but one that has little to offertheuninitiated.The fights in Raging Blast take place in hugeenvironmentsthroughout which characters can dash and soar in anydirection.Movement is handled simply, with the left stick hoveringyouforward, backward, and to the sides, while the shoulder buttonsareused to fly up or down. The camera is situated behindyourcharacter and generally manages to keep both you and youropponenton screen, except in situations when you are on differentverticalplanesIn moments like this, you're given a great view of yourfighter'shead or feet while your opponent is nowhere to be found.It's easyenough to locate your opponent again--the tap of a buttonwill makeyou immediately rocket toward your rival--but it happensfrequentlyenough to be a nuisance. And while at first glance theenvironmentslook as if they go on forever, this illusion isshattered the firsttime you find yourself impeded by one of theinvisible walls thatsurround them.The actual fighting offers a fair amount of complexity butverylittle depth. There's a comprehensive training mode in whichGokufamiliarizes Gohan with all of the techniques, and it takessometime to progress through it all. You'll practice dashattacks,charge attacks, smash attacks, and numerous other attacks,as wellas defense maneuvers. It's quite a bit to take in, thoughunlikemany fighting games, there are no tricky inputs to memorizefor anyattacks here. Some actions require a precisely timed buttonpressto pull off, but at most, you'll need to push a thumbstick inonedirection and tap a button to perform even the most powerfulofattacks.This focus on easily performed, extremely powerful attackshelpsmake the battles feel tremendous, with characters constantlybeingsent flying backward through the air with such force thatanymountains or buildings in their way get obliterated. But italsoprevents the core action from being very involving.Performingthese devastating attacks that are the staple of everywarrior'sarsenal requires "ki," which you build up by landingrelativelyweak punches and kicks. There's no nuance to thesestandardattacks; they're all performed with just one button, whichyou cantap to unleash combos or hold down to charge up a morepowerfulattack that will send your opponent soaring. But theseattacks doso little damage to your opponent that they're not veryuseful. Theonly reason to use these weak attacks is to build upyour ki, whichmakes the majority of fights feel overly simplisticand downrightpredictable. Ki can also be accumulated by holdingdown on the Dpad, leaving you temporarily vulnerable to attack, butthis comeswith its own set of problems. For a game whose focusshould beintense fighting, Raging Blast requires you to spend toomuch timeslowly building your ki power, drawing attention away fromthe moreinteresting aspects of combat.
