Anime MMOs, Dragon Ball Online.

Gamer Limit writes "So it's finally happened. The MMO genre has gotten so godforsakenly large that every game developer/publisher and their mothers think they can produce a smash hit and rake the mounds of cash in. And its hard to argue with them. With World of Warcraft breaching the 11 million players mark just a couple weeks back and competitors such as Warhammer Online, Lord of the Rings Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic on the horizon, its no surprise a lot of companies are trying their hand at competing with the best.

However, as time has shown, the beast that is WoW will not go down easily, if it ever does. Yet, Namco Bandai (huh?) is taking their turn with hopes that a predominant anime series cultivates enough of a following to give them an edge over Blizzard. The series? Dragonball.

An anime, mind you, that had poor animation and ridiculous, asinine, repeating storylines that only a ten year old could find entertaining.

That's what they said.

In honesty though, the animation wasn't great and the storylines did repeat.

Powerful new enemy
Train
Defeat Enemy.
Rinse and repeat.

7 - i dont care what anyone says
im a huge DBZ fan and im hyped for this game

the article writer complains about the lack of classes, well, guess what? almost all MMO's start like that but eventually bolster them with updates but i do agree with his storyline complaints

if done right this game could be successful just from the DBZ fanbase alone
