Classic Hyperkinetic Dragon Ball
Action Blasts onto the PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360

Leading video games developer and
publisher NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., announced today the highly
anticipated fighting title, Dragon Ball®: Raging Blast for the Xbox 360® video
game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer
entertainment system. Featuring the series’ trademark combat battle style,
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast will deliver a host of enhanced gameplay features,
including completely destructible environments and stunning HD graphics that
lend a deeper layer of immersion to the Dragon Ball universe.

Developed by acclaimed game studio
SPIKE, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast culls over 70 characters, including
transformations, from the Dragon Ball Z tome to battle against each other
throughout pivotal moments in the Dragon Ball series. Dragon Ball Z aficionados
will be able to relive epic battles as their favorite heroes and villains from
the series and also experience alternate universe moments that were left out of
the original anime and manga series.

New interactive and destructible
environments lend an enhanced layer of intensity to the battle as characters can
now take massive damage from being smashed into mountains, buildings and debris
during intense battles ensuring epic Dragon Ball Z signature moves are delivered
faithfully with devastating results. On top of classic signature moves,
characters also benefit from a new “Super Rising” special attack system which
allows players to quickly fly upwards throughout massive battle stages, adding a
new layer of strategy and tactics to the melee.

“We’re ecstatic to work with such an
accomplished studio as SPIKE on a high caliber action packed Dragon Ball game
for the next-gen systems,” said Todd Thorston, director of marketing and public
relations at NAMCO BANDAI Games America, Inc. “This next evolution in the Dragon
Ball video game franchise will deliver more explosive action and a sense of
immersive intensity that hasn’t been seen before in the series.”
