A full-fledged continuation of a third-person action RPG by Peter Molyneux, originally released in 2004 on Microsoft consoles. The story of Fable II is once again set in the fantasy land of Albion, but the action takes place roughly 500 years after the events of the original game, we assume the role of an ordinary inhabitant of Albion who, accompanied by his faithful dog, undertakes subsequent quests climbing up the social ladder and growing up to be one of the biggest heroes in the land.

The players are taken to a fantasy world created by Akira Toriyama where they have to face fighters from the Dragon Ball Z animated series. There are over 50 famous heroes at our disposal as well as an advanced creator that lets us design our own warrior. Dragon Ball Z for Kinect offers two game modes: Story Mode is a classical story campaign in which we experience the plot in cinematic cut-scenes that are played between subsequent duels, while Score Attack allows us to fight a battle with the aim of scoring as many points as possible. The distinguishing feature of the title are its original controls — we control our avatar with our own body’s motion, and this is how we perform over a hundred of attacks and combos. The most notable of them is obviously the iconic Kamehameha. The production is characterized by high-quality graphics inspired by the manga original.
