Dragon Ball Revenge Of King Piccolo PAL PROPER WII-GESPIELT | 4395 MB

Revengeof King Piccolo has the young Goku, clad in his traditional orange andarmed with his fists and fighting staff, hunting down the dragon ballsthat have been scattered across the world. The Story mode plays out likea traditional brawler. You spend most of your time in side-scrollinglevels that allow you a small amount of three-dimensional movement.Goku's quest takes him to the village where he fights Colonel Silver,the evil Red Ribbon army's Muscle Tower fortress, General Blue'sunderwater HQ, and a number of other classic Dragon Ball locales.

Unfortunately,Revenge of King Piccolo never sets challenges worthy of Goku's epicquest in front of you. Your core abilities are a regular attack, ablock, a jump, and use of your kamehameha, which you'll use to plowthrough endless hordes of foes without any real effort. Some enemies andenemy projectiles (such as missiles) will be surrounded by a bluelock-on halo, allowing you to tap the Z button to zip to the target. Youcan also execute some simple combos, such as pressing down whilebeating enemies to bits to launch them into the air and then pressingthe Z button to fly after the poor target. Though these combos add somemild variety to the combat, you don't actually need to use them toprogress. Smashing through levels requires very little other thancontinuously hitting the attack button. You'll bash the same few robots,thugs, and humanoid animals over and over again throughout the courseof Revenge. The simplicity of the combat and lack of enemy variety causethe action to turn dull quickly.

The limited platforming doesn'twork particularly well either. You might have to jump over and duckunder moving electrically charged balls while on a moving platform, butthe jumping and hit detection are so imprecise that this is an exercisein frustration. If you need to explore up or down, it's a simple matterof looking for the floating objects with blue lock-on halos around them.If you press Z, you'll fly up to the object, and from there, you'lleither have reached the height you need or just have to press Z again toreach the next object. Just as combat ultimately comes down to mashingthe attack, the platforming and exploration elements ultimately comedown to mashing the lock-on button. While kids might enjoy smashingthrough the game, there's no joy here for someone who wants to earn avictory.

Boss fights and special encounters punctuate thedrudgery of the Story mode but don't bring any real thrills to the game.Although these encounters help to draw attention to key elements of thegame's storyline, they're simplistic in the extreme. These boss enemiesusually have a shield around them, unlike most enemies. If you canremember to hit them until their shield goes from blue to red and thencontinue to hit them until their shield bursts, you've mastered thesubtle strategy of Revenge of King Piccolo. Although the game looks trueenough to the anime--with both English and Japanese voice tracksavailable--the single-player simply doesn't capture the epic battles ofthe source material.

Versusmode makes no effort to raise the bar. You can play against thecomputer or another player in a reasonable selection of Dragon Balllocations and with a reasonable collection of Dragon Ball characters.Sadly, what's a simple combat system in the Story mode is simply brokenand dull in the Versus mode. Against the computer, victory is a simplematter of hiding behind your shield until the enemy completes a combo.Then, you smash the enemies to pieces while they're exposed. Whenfighting against another human being, the combat engine simply doesn'thave the depth to support fun matches. Characters have some variation,but the system still basically comes down to just three buttons: attack,block, and jump. Even on the Wii, with its dearth of fighting games,you have plenty of better choices if you want to fight against a friend.

DragonBall: Revenge of King Piccolo is too simple for anyone but very younggamers. If you're a Dragon Ball fan and want to introduce a kid to themythos, this would be an easy place to start. If you're a fan of classicbeat-'em-ups who wants to introduce a kid to the idea of walking rightand hitting things, this'll do. But if you're looking for a rewardingDragon Ball or action game for your Wii, look elsewhere.
