Dragon Ball Z games have certainly come a long way. For years, DBZ games just couldn't measure up to the source material, but the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot looks to match, and some ways even surpass, the original anime series in terms of visual panache. Case in point, check out the newly-released Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot opening cinematic, which provides a glimpse of many favorite characters, locales, and more than a handful of classic showdowns. And it’s all set to the original Japanese Dragon Ball Z theme song, Cha-La Head-Cha-La (sorry, no cheesy American DRAGON-DRAGON BALL…DRAGON BALL ZEEEE! theme song for us Westerners). Check out the opening cinematic, below.
Haven’t been keeping up with Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot? It’s basically the ultimate video game celebration of the original 90s DBZ anime, as players can play through Goku’s classic battles, while exploring a fully-realized semi-open world. Here’s the official key features list:
