Overview
Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai – Another Road is a fighting game developed by Dimps and published by Namco Bandai Games for the PlayStation Portable. Released in 2007, it serves as a direct follow-up to Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai and brings a fully original story to the handheld platform. The game centers on the villainous Janemba invading multiple dimensions across different timelines, pulling iconic fighters from various Dragon Ball Z story arcs into one massive conflict. Players battle through this adventure using beloved characters from the franchise, including Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and many more. What sets this entry apart from other fighting games on the PSP is its strong focus on a detailed single-player narrative that covers alternate dimensions and fan-favorite saga moments. The fast-paced, one-on-one combat captures the energy of the anime, delivering flashy ki blasts, transformations, and special moves that feel rewarding and exciting to execute. The game stands out as one of the most complete Dragon Ball experiences available on a handheld console.
Another Road offers several modes to keep players engaged beyond the main campaign. The story mode places players on a branching path through missions tied to the alternate dimension plot, with Janemba’s invasion driving the action across multiple stages. Arcade mode gives players a quick series of battles to test their skills, while the training mode lets them practice combos and special attacks at their own pace. The game supports local wireless multiplayer on PSP, so two players can face off in head-to-head matches using their favorite characters. With a roster of over 30 fighters, each character brings their own move set, energy attacks, and transformation states, adding genuine variety to the combat. Players can also collect Z-items to customize their fighter stats before each match, giving a light progression layer to the overall experience. The battle arenas span a range of settings drawn from different Dragon Ball Z sagas, from the surface of Namek to the Cell Games arena. Overall, Another Road delivers a satisfying and content-rich fighting game that stands as one of the best Dragon Ball titles released on portable hardware.
