Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (ドラゴンボールZ バーストリミット, Doragonbōru Zetto Bāsuto Rimitto) is a video game based off the popular anime/manga series Dragon Ball Z and is being released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. It was announced in Shonen Jump magazine on December 12, 2007. The developer for the game is Namco Bandai[4].


Gameplay

On December 24th, 2007, a PV trailer was released. The gameplay shown in the video showcases moves much like those of the Dragon Ball Z Budokai game series, and those of Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai , demonstrating that the gameplay will be 2D, unlike the Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi game series which used an over the shoulder camera perspective.

At the Taipei Game Show 2008, the game was shown to utilize in-fight cutscenes in an effort to make the game as true to the anime as possible. One such example is a character being attacked with an energy beam, only for the game to switch to a 3D rendered cutscene depicting the character knocking away this attack in defense, then quickly switching back to the continuing 2D gameplay. [5]. The method for using such abilities is currently unknown. Support characters are also usable, with Krillin being the first known example. In-game transformations have also been displayed, with Goku being able to power up to Kaiô-ken while fighting. [6]. This game is expected to reach out only to the Kid Buu saga.
