Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

The headline on the Giant Bomb review of SingStar might lead you to think something’s wrong with the game, but that’s quickly rectified by the clear, four-star rating. The review is very well written in a style I admire — listing the nuts and bolts of features and exactly how they work at the same time as rating the overall experience and how it comes together. It shows that the team that made SingStar knew what they were doing. They used the online connectivity of the system, PlayStation Eye camera, and an ability to record predetermined sections of your performance together to build a compelling and fun experience. The online, gamer-driven rating system and absolutely packed 200-song store to buy new songs from isn’t just a step into the current generation, it’s a leap.

And while I myself have next to no interest in Karaoke singing games, it’s really nice to see a developer pull it together like this and produce something that seems to use the console to its fullest. Yes it’s a Sony product that’s apparently not falling short of its potential. Someone take a picture before this moment passes.
