The DragonBall series bounces back with the announcement that
ATARI is bringing NAMCO-BANDAI Games’ DragonBall: Origins for
NintendoDS to European shores in December 2008. Developed by
NAMCO-BANDAI Games Inc., DragonBall: Origins takes players
back to the original DragonBall series and around the world
for a thrilling Action-Adventure game with Touch Screen controls.
The Single-Player game follows Goku and his clever sidekick Bulma as
they travel the world overcoming enemies and obstacles to collect
the seven DragonBalls. In the shoes of Goku, the player must protect
Bulma from incoming enemy attacks using special skills, such as
fighting with his power pole, or unleashing a kamehameha. Combined
with Bulma’s ability to invent machines and weapons, the intrepid
pair make a formidable team able to defeat even the strongest
enemies or trickiest of obstacles.
The innovative controls mean the player uses only the Touch Screen
to control Goku. Players must draw lines or shapes to direct the
character and control the action by tapping on the screen, for
example a double tap on Goku followed by tapping on the
Ka-me-ha-me-ha letters unleashes his devastating signature move.
Goku can perfect his skills by gaining experience through defeating
strong enemies. Goku’s power pole helps him and Bulma not only in
the battle but also in solving puzzles throughout the game. For
extra DragonBall fun, hunt down and collect the many virtual
figurines hidden in the game world which can then be swapped and
traded with friends via the wireless connection to get the full
collection.
DragonBall: Origins pulls no punches in terms of graphics
with both screens displaying vibrant 3D visuals, and with the
lively, fun humour of DragonBall present throughout the game,
fans will be able to immerse themselves completely in the
spectacular universe. |
