Dragonball Z: Burst Limit demo on XBLM

by Richard Mitchell { May 15th 2008 at 10:30AM }

Dragon Ball Z fans rejoice! Everyone else ... um ... be indifferent! There is now a Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit demo on Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo features two different battles and absolutely no tutorial. We've plowed through it a few times now, and we feel confident in saying that it will you will get much more pleasure out of the demo if you: A) enjoy the show and, B) have any idea what you're doing. Those in column A might not care too much about column B though. We'll put together a video later today (because we're masochists ... and we kinda maybe sorta used to watch the show ... in high school ... religiously).

Hey! No.

Magic Whiskey @ May 15th 2008 11:15AM

In High School and junior high, I was all about (and ONLY about) Mystery Science Theater 3000...

and yes, I have all of my tapes still too! :) About 45 tapes with three episodes on each of them...

Yea I watched the Cell series (and most Majin Boo) religiously in Junior High...then I got interested in girls lol

Amen dude...I watched the fuck outta that show. Yeah and then I became to interested in pussy to care anymore. That was during the Buu saga way before GT was aired. So I've never actually seen anything from GT other then some fights on YouTube lol.

You got interested in cats? Aww how sweet!!

Dragonball and Dragonball Z were basically what kept me sprinting home from the bus stop, ever day, for my entire childhood (I think the show went to DBGT when I entered highschool...or thereabouts), so I can enjoy a good DBZ game when they come around (not to mention the boxed sets with 30 episodes each, for 30 bucks....freaking steal compared to the 30 bucks for 3 episodes you had to pay back in the day). GT was a terrible cash-in, and watching it was excruciating, but that doesn't take away from the nostalgia factor.

Nothing beats good ol' nostalgia.

Blah...I hate anime.

Jez @ May 15th 2008 12:37PM

So where is this demo I cant find it? Is this only USA?

OptimumEDGE @ May 15th 2008 3:20PM

Don't care what anyone thinks, but this is definitely one of the best shows ever.

On a gameplay note, the graphics are really impressive. You can notice the improvement over last gen releases, it's really a pretty badass (but short) demo. Especially if you like DBZ.

Ripcord83 @ May 15th 2008 5:04PM

For it being short, they still made a game I will gladly buy.
Loved how it seems way more fast pased than the previous games.

Anticrawl @ May 15th 2008 6:00PM

How many saiyans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one, but it takes 5 episodes.

*Be's Indifferent*

Aticus @ May 15th 2008 9:09PM

It's probably going to be one of the better 2v2 fighting games this year (along with SF4 and SC4). The graphics look amazing! This series is a lot like Pokemon and Power Rangers: Even after 10+ years, there's still that one part of your soul which is still in awe of it.

I think I'll be getting this.

You guys are right, the anime was like that. It took so many episodes for things to happen, the Freeza saga is one bad for it. Where Freeza throws his Death Ball, and claims that the Namek will explode in 5 minutes. And it takes something like another 4 episodes (so 88 minutes) before it really does.

IIRC the reason for this was that the original anime was being made at the same time as the manga. So when Akira Toriyama would release the 14 page manga every couple weeks, they would have to stretch those 14 pages into 22 minutes for every episode.
