Origins is one of the best Nintendo DS-games of the year, and both appealing to fans of and newcomers to the Dragon Ball-universe. It’s got a good story, great humour, plenty of action, and some nice visuals to keep you coming back for more. My only gripe with it is the at times not so precise control system, and lack of co-op mode, which could’ve turned this game into an instant Kamehameha.

It's not only one of the best Dragon Ball titles, it's also a great action adventure game.

Dynamic gameplay, fantastic characters and good cut-scenes, furthermore appealing brainteasers and challenging boss-monsters make Dragon Ball Origins a very entertaining game, not only for fans of the anime-series.
