I honestly don't understand why developers keep trying with this thing. Even if the game "worked" flawlessly, I fail to see how it would be fun in the least.
Leave Kinect to the dance genre and as a supplemental to games that can use voice/hand commands and let the rest die already. (Oh, and Myst. Do that, too.)

God damn it. I'm one of those anti-Kinect douchebags but even I was slightly excited for this, being able to "be" Goku et al sounds fun as fuck but those illusions have just been shattered.
If I'd been able to do the OVER 9000 scene that would have just sealed the deal.

Fuck this. I'm going to watch the new DBZ Abridged from two days ago. Again. Also, if DBZ Budokai 3 made its way to PS2 Classics, I would be pleased, but I'm going to assume its in licensing hell.
"You're just furiously punching away in front of yourself, much to the same degree as a person clawing their way out of a coffin would after being buried alive."
I think this is why these 1:1 combat games can't work very well. With no physical feedback, there's nothing to stop players from just flailing wildly to win, just like how people do in wii games where you have a sword. Of course Nintendo kind of found a solution in Skyward Sword after seeing Jimmy Fallon win by flailing wildly, and that was to have every enemy in the game become kung fu zen masters of blocking until they telegraph an obvious opening and leave it open long enough for you to hit.
Anyways, yeah, I don't really care about Dragon Ball Z, but I'm sad this exists.

Really? No voice recognition?
At least 50% of what makes a Dragon Ball move is the screaming. Probably more like 75%.
Developers are just lazy with Kinect, it has potential seen in games like Rise of Nightmares and Steel Battalion, but most of what we get is this half assed kind of thing where they basically take an existing game and add limited gesture support that never works.
I don't care for Dragon Ball whatsoever, but I think it could work incredibly well with Kinect if the developers actually seemed like they gave a crap about the idea.

The only good thing that could come from this would be some kind of 'Let's Play' from Team Four Star. If they could make Dragonball: Evolution funny as hell (EVERYONE get their iRiff Rifftrax! It's great! Google It!), maybe they could do the same for whatever Namco is doing with this.
For that kind of fighting game I still prefer Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on the Wii (yes, one of the launch titles) as it has lots of button + stick + waggle moves well applied.
Damn Darren, you remember that? I can't believe how terrible that thing was. Here we are about 20 years later, with developers not learning from past mistakes.
The only crying that should be involved with DragonBall Z (for the audience)are either battle cries (as in a proper voice-recognizing Kinect game) or laughter-induced tears due to some absurdity or other,possibly one pointed out by Team Four Star in one of their parody videos.
Still waiting for them to realize that the whole Dragonball series would make for a kick ass action-JRPG series of games starting from Goku as a kid all the way through.
Wait so this is a DBZ themed dance central only with 90% more flailing?
Well in my case it sounds about the same

Dance mode, set to Karma Chameleon by Culture Club needs to happen.

@Onered - I remember that. I thought it was great in the arcades. But then the beauty of the arcades is I can play a game and spend only a couple of quid. But £40 into a game that doesn't have any kind of physical feedback and is just a massive ballache after 10 minutes? Fuck that noise.
I thought this would be a load of shit, and I am not surprised at all to see it looks like I'll be right.
But then, IMO DBZ games stopped being something worth pursuing after Budokai 2.

No voice recognition? GAH!! That is a major disappointment. I already *knew* this would be lame, but if it had voice recognition, then it could have saved itself to be something hilarious to play. Well shooty shooty shooot.
I tell myself I'm not going to buy it, buuuuut... *points at embarrassing amount of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z swag*... Yeahhhh.
Damn, Hamza! I think this is the first time I've read you mad about something.
That said, this does look retarded in the worst sense of the word. As much as I love DBZ and Kinect, this thing does not impress. Still, if they happen to put out a demo, I'll still give it a try.

Like a lowly hunter who stumbles across a bathing goddess in the forest, anyone who sees me playing this will be murdered before they can tell another soul about it.

STOP! Goku time!
At least they got Krillin's health score right: "E". Haha.

Kinect would sort of work if it were a complement instead of a 'full-controller'.
Wasn't MS planning on making some 'hybrid-games'? Would like to see how it would work.

I 100% miss DBZ Tenkaichi. All I want is a DBZ Tenkaichi 4 with every single solitary DBZ character in the DB/DBZ/DBGT universe. is that so much to ask?
