PREVIEW -- Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - A New Power Awakens Part 2

Frieza returns with his army to attack Earth. It is up to Goku, Vegeta and the rest of the warriors to stop them. But are they strong enough to take on Golden Frieza? 

DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT A New Power Awakens Part 2 releases on November 17th.

As much as I miss Linda Young's Frieza voice from when I grew up with some of the original English dubs of Dragon Ball Z in the States, I have to admit that Daman Mills has been killing it as of late with his performance in Dragon Ball Super and these various video games. He's definitely becoming my favorite Frieza voice to date. 

That being said, but did I miss something but when did the Ginyu Force and Frieza's forces from Namek (Zarbon, Cui, Dodoria, etc.) get revived for this story arc? That must be something exclusive just for this game as an extra as I don't remember seeing them in the Resurrection F' movie. 

PREVIEW -- Dragon Ball Z Kakarot - DLC Trailer | PS4

Are you ready to begin yet? Prepare yourself to face the God of Destruction, Beerus, in DRAGON BALL Z Kakarot's First DLC Episode. Unlock the power of the Super Saiyan God!

I honestly never jump onto the hype train for all of these new Dragon Ball Z games as it seems like we get a new more than the annual sports franchises. I've heard more good about DBZ: Kakarot than good though, but to each his own. I'm surprised this wasn't apart of the game from scratch to say that it chronicles Goku's life journey.

I wouldn't be surprised that this Season Pass ends before the Tournament of Power arc is even thought up. They could EASILY make the entire next game about that from the various characters' perspectives and training leading up to that, along with the Dragon Ball Super debut of Broly as well.

PREVIEW -- Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Cell Saga Trailer

Relive the emotional roller-coaster of the Cell Saga in DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT! Starting with the ominous arrival of the Androids all the way up to the crushing intensity of the Cell Games, play through high-octane battles as Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and more! #gamescom2019

Truth be told, I don't play nor buy too many Dragon Ball Z-inspired games. I may have dabbled in the Budokai series or some of the other various DBZ-based outings throughout the years, but I haven't bought/owned a DBZ title since the PSX era of gaming. I might cave for Dragon Ball FighterZ at some point (once they finally do a deal with all of the character DLC to date), but this game is peaking my interest from the more news I keep hearing about it.

They already confirmed that a DLC side mission where Goku gets his drivers' license (based on the very same filler episode that was hilarious to watch Goku and Piccolo be forced by Chi-Chi to do this) will be part of the game as additional content and seeing this emotional journey played out of Goku's fatherhood to his would-be successor in Gohan in the Cell Saga looks like it would be a joy to play through. Too bad Gohan didn't live up to that role as Toriyama brought Goku and Vegeta back to the frontlines to deal with the next major baddie that threatened the Earth (Majin Buu) and continue to do so in Dragon Ball Super. To Gohan's credit though, he was a superb team captain for the 7th Universe during the Tournament of Power story arc.

Bandai Namco tends to deliver (most of the time anyway) on these anime-based properties, so I think this will be in good hands since it's supposed to be a story-driven single player campaign and not another arena brawler like their last few games with anime-based properties. *Cough* Jump Force *Cough*
