Dragon Ball: Origins 2 picks up after the first game and continues the Goku and the Red Ribbon Army story arch. The gameplay remains largely the same as in the first game, which isn't a bad thing. During the pre-E3 event in Santa Monica, we got some hands-on time with the sequel and found that it still holds the same charm as the first".
411mania: Ahh yes, Dragon Ball. The anime series that all of my friends seemed to love and adore and I could never get behind. There was just too much stalling and long close ups of faces for me, but clearly the story told had to be somewhat interesting, right? Based off what I’ve read, yeah, it seems the stories are pretty interesting, but I just can’t get into the shows.
NWR: The story of the Dragon Ball franchise exists as a blurry childhood memory in my mind. Images of children with giant hair, glowing people screaming in the sky, and an evil pink blob fighting a green man are about the only scenes I can clearly recall. My experiences with Dragon Ball and gaming are slightly more robust, as for quite some time I enjoyed the Budokai series of fighting games...
