Reception
Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Utama accepts mixed criticism. IGN gave the game 7.5 out of 10, praising the graphics and battles, but criticizing the storytellers and the recurring nature of the battle. GameSpot delivers 4.0 games out of 10, praises the graphics, but hates the game battle system because there is no sense of originality; bosses are fighting because of the frustrating phase of Rapid Time Events; and character building systems due to the limited number of items supplied. Destructoid gives the 7.5 game the proverb "Although the battle can be a bit on the recurring side, there is still a bit of satisfaction when you wipe out the enemy with the power of canyon-creating moves.There's plenty here for the fans to enjoy, and while the story may be simplified for new franchise enthusiasts, I really can not recommend it to anyone but hardcore.
