Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Reviews
It's great to feel that Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO has managed to rescue this very clear, yet abstract concept of what makes Dragon Ball what it is, something that the Budokai Tenkaichi of the past managed to achieve without even thinking too much. Even with its flaws, saying that this is a game "more for the fans" is to diminish the very concise product that it is. Thank goodness, in this case, that Dragon Ball has a ton of fans around the world, right?

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is simply more Budokai Tenkaichi: blazingly fast fights, a massive roster and powerhouse visuals all make for an entertaining, must-play Dragon Ball game.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a dream come true for fans of the series, bringing back the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series in all its glory to modern platforms. Fights are flashy and fun, while its immense roster of characters is enough to satisfy players looking for a fighting game fix. It's not without its faults, and the game's story mode could have used a bit more love. While the story arcs of Dragon Ball have been replayed and retold to death, the rushed retelling of important events misses an opportunity to onboard newcomers. That said, this is the best Dragon Ball title we've had in a long time and is a definite pickup for those looking for an arena fighter that's not your typical anime offering. Akira Toriyama would have been proud.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero revitalizes the Tenkaichi series with nostalgic charm and complex mechanics. The game offers a dynamic experience with a vast character roster and an engaging combat system. While it has some issues with camera angles and balance, it's still a highly enjoyable entry in the franchise.
DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO is a comprehensive and engaging game that offers a wealth of content and customization options. Its stunning graphics, extensive character roster, and satisfying gameplay mechanics make it a must-play for fans of the series.
The Tenakichi Budokai saga returns with a bang with frenetic, spectacular and hilarious combats

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is exactly what fans have been clamoring for over many years—a new installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, with all its strengths and weaknesses. Despite the developers' efforts to rebalance many elements from the previous entries and provide a proper sense of satisfaction for those looking to improve, it remains a fighting game that leans more towards the “party game filled with brawls” genre than that of competitive, strategic fighting games. With over 180 fighters, each with three unique special moves of varying effects, balance has never been a priority for Spike Chunsoft... and that’s perfectly fine

Sparking Zero is all about giving fans what they want, and the game achieves this despite some of its flaws. It’s a fighter at its core, but it also offers fans the tools to make it the Dragon Ball game they have always dreamed of.
It's clear that Spike Chunsoft poured their hearts out while making Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, which feels like a love letter to countless Budukai Tenkaichi fans out there. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is the ultimate form of arena-based combat title with an excellent narrative-based plot from canon media.
While the game is not the most in-depth title from a competitive standpoint, Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is this generation's best Dragon Ball-themed 3D fighter complete with thrills, spills, and fanservice up the wazoo.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero" is far from a perfect game. The fights in particular suffer from many small and large weaknesses, and the lack of a "real" story mode is also a pain. The episodes are more of a compromise than a full replacement. It is therefore not enough to generally recommend buying it. Because if you have nothing to do with the "Dragon Ball" universe, "Sparking! Zero" will not convince you either. available

I was pleasantly surprised with Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. It looks spectacular in motion and really captures the scope of the franchise’s wild fights. With its many counters, fast movements, explosive field effects, and incredible blast moves, it makes you feel like you’re fighting for your life against relentless enemies.
A true hymn to the work of Akira Toriyama, with spectacular graphics and explosive gameplay, but with surprising depth to encourage you to learn more. Modes such as Episode Battle and Custom Battle allow you to fulfill your greatest fantasies and feel like you're playing the anime.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is not only the best fighting game of the series but also the best Dragon Ball game we've had in years. With a huge roster, top-notch visuals, and impactful combat, it will be hard for new and old players to put the controller down.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is more than just a fighting game adaption, it’s a love letter to the iconic shōnen.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is a dream come true for anyone who has a thing for saiyans and the seven balls. It looks incredibly good, offers a huge playground in its modes, has plenty of characters and Easter eggs and skillfully revives the Budokai Tenkaichi series. Kamehame-oh yah!
