Let's take a second to talk about the "to much story" there is to much sit and listen to (video) dialogue and not enough action I understand this is the dragon ball z story but I've seen the anime I don't need to sit through it again.
Now on to the combat system. To put it Frankly it sucks I'm always fight up hill battles (I guess I could grind before continuing the story but no one likes grinding). As an example when playing as Vegeta he goes into combo attack and the enemy seems unfazed by the massive damage and simply sits through my attack then clobbers the he** out of me, I can't dodge or move since I have to finish the combo. I own and beat every Dark Souls game so I like a challenging game this however is just annoying.
If you are just such a huge fan of DBZ that you have to at least try the game for yourself I would suggest waiting until it drops in price (it shouldn't be long).
STORY
As noted above, this is the DBZ story. Raditz arrives on Earth, tells Goku that he’s a Saiyan, and things proceed from there until you kill Kid Buu. Fans familiar with the story will know all the beats. I will say that it is a bit more fleshed out, but the way that’s accomplished is with what is ultimately new filler content. It’s different from the series. For instance, Goku doesn’t encounter Princess Snake on Snake Way, but Piccolo will spar with Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu prior to Vegeta and Nappa’s arrival, which doesn’t happen in the manga or the anime. It’s harmless padding, but it feels a bit unneeded.
GAMEPLAY
DBZ: Kakarot plays in a manner similar to the Xenoverse games, with the key distinction being that you play as in-universe leads like Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta. You get into battles by nearing enemies on the world map, or through story sequences. Otherwise, you can explore, hunt animals, fish, and complete side quests for people (most of which are of the “gather 5 of X item” variety). The worlds are broken up into big zones, so it isn’t technically “open world,” but it feels big, which fits the scope of what the dev team was going for here.
The battles are real time and are kind of complex, even when you get the hang of it. The four face buttons let you charge up ki, do a basic energy attack, do a physical attack, and dodge/fly. You can block with L2, toggle specials with L1, and change the height of your flying with R1 and R2. In the heat of battle, it takes a bit of getting used to, but when you learn the system, it can generate combat that really looks like the anime series. You can also freely fly around during combat and pull off quick warp attacks and dodges, which look great. Sadly, the depth of combat dies a bit when you figure out that the whole affair boils down to dodging an attack, pummeling your opponent from behind, finishing with a super move, and repeating.
The rest of the game is just flying around, talking to people, doing some relatively meaningless quests, and leveling up. Without the DBZ theming, this would be really bland (and even with it, it kind of is). However, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I had a smile on my face while doing even the mundane things in the game. It’s just fun to exist in the Dragon Ball world, and the game does an admittedly good job of letting you explore it, far better than any prior game in the franchise.
This is an action RPG, not a fighting game. If you want deep fighting mechanics, check out Dragon Ball FighterZ.
GRAPHICS
The visuals in this game are gorgeous. I love the bright, cel-shaded look. It mirrors the series well. I think FighterZ looked a little better, but I’m happy with the visuals here given the broader scope of the game.
SOUND
While I personally prefer the Faulconer Productions score, the use of the Kikuchi score is great too. If you’ve watched DBZ with that score, it feels just right. As with most DBZ games, the Funimation dub and Japanese cast are all here, and both versions are excellent. The sound effects are all great, and the whole experience really puts you in the Dragon Ball world.
SUMMARY
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a well-made, fun action RPG. I really believe it’s a 3/5 without the Dragon Ball elements though. There’s something to be said for living in the world of Dragon Ball, and that ups the quality of the game. The combat is fun, if repetitive, and the exploration is neat, if also repetitive. The game clocks in around 30-40 hours for a relatively complete play through, and it felt right to me.

El juego solo cuenta con voces en japonés e inglés , sin embargo, si que cuenta con subtítulos en español latino y muchos idiomas más.
El juego es divertido y te sumerge bien en la historia, ya que puedes explorar las áreas por las que vas avanzando y enfrentarte a los enemigos que te van apareciendo.
Los gráficos son muy parecidos al anime y cuenta con las canciones de este, lo cual me pareció un muy buen detalle y algo que le gustará a todo fan.
La historia abarca desde la llegada de Raditz hasta el final de la saga de Buu, algo normal en los juegos de dragón ball, aunque en caso de querer jugar más se puede comprar un DLC el cual incluye la historia de la batalla de los dioses y la resurrección de freezer.
En conclusión, recomiendo el juego, ya que es muy bueno y a cualquiera le gustará la manera en la que se revive la historia, más si eres un fan.

The combat is easy to learn and the fights aren't too difficult. If you have trouble with some fights, just notice the attack patterns and strike when they are open at the end of their attacks.
You can fly around in the game, but enemies can chase you down and stop to fight. If you don't feel like fighting, press R3 to unlock from the opponent and fly away to escape the fight.
Overall, I feel this game was amazing. After finishing the game, I wanted more dragon ball so I started to watch Dragon Ball Super. Now I can't wait until the next game!
The game
It's pretty disappointing. Doesn't follow the anime all the way, missing iconic lines such as ITS OVER 9000 and so many scripted events and voice lines are missing. Missing some of the best moments of the anime as well and makes some of the great moments look and sound terrible. They are catering towards kids with all this. No blood, swearing, etc. Very poor rpg mechanics too. And sometimes downright terrible sidequests and fetch quests.
However what game does great is the gameplay. It's amazing, addictive and looks dang good. That's honestly what makes u keep playing it. Graphics are so damn good too every cutscene every animation in the game looks so good and really shows the greatness of the anime. Roaming around the dragon ball world is so great and never gets boring collecting orbs around the world. When the game gets stuff right from the anime it's soo good. In those moments it feels like a 10 and the boss fights are actually crazy.
Overall this game is a 7/10. The dragon ball fan in me wants to give it higher but the game does so much wrong than good. Wait for sale then grab it.
