Dragon Ball Z games have been declining in quality over the years, that's no secret. But I believe that this new title has hit rock bottom. Is there even any saving the franchise at this point? Like maybe bringing DBZ Online to America? Who Knows. Here is the trailer, for DBZ Kinect.

Now if you watched that without cringing, I would never want to meet you in real life. Alot of poor choices were obviously made here.

First off, putting it on Kinect in the first place. The Playstation move works better, but I cant say I would have liked it on the PS3 either. Id'e prefer this game to have never been made.

Secondly, from the looks of it, you need to do the required movement a certain amount of times to fill up the meter for the action to work successfully. Anyone who's used motion controls knows that not only will that be stressfully difficult, but it wont register all the movements because its Kinect. And Kinect just doesn't work, at least in my experience.

A DBZ Kinect game seemed like a good concept, but you're right. The game itself is just not good. The only thing I do like about that game is Bardock becoming super sayian. He was crazy powerful before but damn. I'm still waiting for the Budokai 3 HD remake.

Budokai 3 HD is coming out this year, sold with Budokai 1 in HD as well (oddly no 2 ).

From the little I've played of Raging Blast 1 and 2, and reviews of Burst Limit, I'd say Tenkaichi 3 was the last great game. I'd like to see the same controls and gameplay of tenkaichi 3, with PS3 graphics, and a few improvements like adding GT Vegeta (all forms), correcting Nova Shenron's move set to the moves he actually used in the show, adding Tarble and SSJ Bardock, etc.

No new concepts or modes or anything, just add characters, stages, music, etc.
