Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure
This week we chose a great beat 'em up game you may want to check out. The game is arguably a hit-or-miss for some people, but hopefully you'll get some enjoyment out of it.
Dragon Ball: Advance Adventure is lightweight platformer beat 'em up that might have slipped under your radar.
The game is a must for DragonBall fans and generally those who enjoy good ol' beat 'em up games alike.
The story mode in Dragon Ball: Advance Adventure stays true to the television series story. You'll find yourself in non-stop action as you fight your way through a good number of levels, stopping along to engage in combat with challenging bosses. The combat mode on the game is great; there's a lot of replay value there.
You're able to play through the story with a large selection of different characters and your character gains new battle skills as you progress.
The story mode will keep you entertained for a few hours, no doubt.
Dragon Ball: Advance Adventure's graphics are quote nice, there's a lot of color and animations. The games audio is nothing special; it gets the job done, however.
Make sure to pick this title up and give it a go, you'll enjoy it!
Game Synopsis from GameSpot said:Like any side-scroller, Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure isn't going to occupy weeks of your time. In fact, you'll probably beat it the first time through in two hours or so. That's not so different from the majority of license-based games. What is different, however, is how many incentives the game provides for playing through the story mode multiple times. When you finish the game the first time, you'll unlock a variation of the story mode that introduces collectible items, and you'll gain the ability to play through the game with Goku's buddy, Krillin. Items picked up in the story mode will add additional playable characters to the story mode and to the stand-alone one-on-one mode. There are more than 20 characters to unlock, each with unique moves and animations. These incentives are great and will probably triple or quadruple the play time that most people get out of the game. It's just too bad that there isn't a linked cooperative mode. You can play the one-on-one mode against a friend, but that's nowhere near as fun as it would be to tag-team the main quest.
Dragon Ball fans should definitely pick this game up, and non-fans should at least consider doing so. Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure is a fun, diverse action game that does the license proud.
