First off, there's more to Dragon Ball than just 'DBZ'.  Look to Dragon Ball Advance Adventure (GBA), Dragon Ball Origins (DS) or Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Wii) for that.  Second of all, there isn't over 100 Dragon Ball games like with Mario.

Anyway, my view with Raging Blast is that it looks good, like most Dragon Ball fighters, but from the amount of gameplay footage we've seen, it doesn't seem to be improving much from the already set Dragon Ball fighting formula. 

Dragon Ball Budokai 3 on the PS2 was probably one of the biggest and most content filled games on the system, as well as being one of the best Anime based games ever made.  So this game has a lot to live up to.  But as it stands right now, that's its problem.  The gameplay looks to be practically identical to Budokai 3, with few upgrades such as cleaner graphics and new character animations.  The games most attractive 'new' features look to be the online multiplayer and new story modes, but these things might not be as big of a seller as they would be for a more mainstream fighter such as Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive.  On the flip side, since Budokai 3 already used nearly every character (and story mode) from DBZ and GT, this game might have a hard time adding new content.

Of course, the game could have a lot more content we're not seeing.  We'll just have to see.

It really doesn't play at all like budokai 3. Did you mean Budokai Tenkaichi 3? If so then yeah, I agree with you.

I'll grab this when it's available for Silver members on Live (the 29th).

WTFFFFFFF

There's no Ultimate Gohan in this game. Now I'm not sure I want it anymore.

He may just be unlockable.

Full character list has already been revealed. He's not there.

I Hate the new controls

New controls? I don't really notice a difference between these and BT3's at least in basic functions. Granted, I played BT3 on Wii, so I don't know how the buttons were mapped on the dualshock before.

^ They changed almost everything

for example

Charging ki was with the "L2" now its with the directional buttons

Blocking was with the "O" and now its the "R1"

Flying up was with the "R1" now its for Blocking

Its really confusing

@Nazatips

The new controls just feel wierd, why the hell is a kamehame Right joystick up and Y.

Thats very uncomfrtable.

I hope you can change the controls.

But everything else is awesome.
