Every Dragon Ball fan who plays video games remembers Budokai Tenkaichi 3, one of the greatest arena fighters of all time. I have fond memories of playing that on my PlayStation 2, competing against my friends in split-screen, mashing all buttons to start unlockable combos, and then finishing them off with a charged Ki attack that illuminates the entire arena.
Sparking Zero expertly takes what we knew and loved from Tenkaichi 3 and enhances it for modern platforms, and dare I say, it’s perfect.

This game is essentially Budokai Tenkaichi 4, retaining some of the franchise’s much-loved features while adding new elements to keep things fresh. For starters, the roster has been updated to include a whopping 182 fighters. Granted, most of them are populated by variants of legacy characters like Goku and Vegeta, but it’s still an impressive collection.

The campaign mode once again retells the entire Z saga and goes beyond it, ending it on the entry, The Tournament of Power. To add to the table of the campaign, it now has a couple of unique twists with the Sparking Episode, "What if...'' scenearios. I do wish they add ''Moro Arc'' later down the road, with the main guys transformations such as Black Freeza, Ultra Ego Vegeta, Perfected UI from Goku and so on.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is, for me, the best Dragon Ball game we've had since the PlayStation 2, and a generous love letter to Toriyama's classic series.

Toem is a charming photography game that’s full of great moments, a lot of heart, and clever puzzles. You’ll travel around the black-and-white world, encountering interesting characters, all set in diorama-style levels that are begging you to explore them.

Puzzles in Toem often involve a character asking you to show them a photograph of something they’re missing or someone they’re looking for. As a reward, you’ll earn a stamp, collecting enough stamps will let you move on to the next level. You’ll also earn new clothes and occasional upgrades to your camera. By the end of the game, I was walking around with a foam finger and a monster mask and a space helmet, the peak of high fashion.

It’s a short, relaxing game that I finished in 3 or 4 hours. Although it's short, it's an amazing experience from the beginning to the end!

It's not a groundbreaking game, but it's somehow nostalgic and modern at the same time—a silly world that you can just enjoy, guilt-free. There is no overwrought commentary on modern society. There is no hidden meaning. Occasionally, some hidden socks or ghosts you can only see when you're wearing magic sunglasses, yes. Mostly having fun and taking pictures.
