Dragon Ball: Raging Blast will be available nationwide on Nov. 10, 2009.
Developed by acclaimed game studio SPIKE, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast culls more than 70 characters, including transformations, from the Dragon Ball Z tome to battle against each other throughout pivotal moments in the Dragon Ball Z series. Dragon Ball Z aficionados will be able to relive epic battles as their favorite heroes and villains from the series and also experience alternate “what if” moments that have not been seen in the original anime and manga series.
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast includes multiple modes of play with both offline and online options. Single-players can hone their techniques in the Dojo, fight through various Dragon Ball Z series sagas in the Dragon Battle Collection or test their skills in Super Battle Trial challenges. Once they’ve perfected their moves, players can face-off in versus or tournament modes against others either on or offline. Characters can also be customized with various configurations of Super Attacks based on the player’s preference. A full set of familiar series-based combat tools are at the player’s disposal from dashes, Ki Blasts, charge attacks, Ultimate Attacks, transformations, fusions and more.
New interactive and massively destructible environments lend an enhanced layer of intensity to the battle as characters can now take immense damage from being smashed into mountains, buildings and debris during heated battles. On top of classic signature moves, characters also benefit from a new “Super Rising” move which allows players to quickly fly upwards throughout large-scale battle stages, adding a new layer of strategy and tactics to the melee. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is set to deliver more explosive fighting action than ever seen before!
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is rated “T” for teen audiences by the ESRB and will carry an MSRP of $59.99. For more information about the game, please visit http://dragonball.namco.com.
