Dragonball Raging Blast




What would it be like if you had that one of the best fighting game on your Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3. Well if you have the new Dragonball Raging Blast then you is all set. Dragonball Raging blast is the latest in a long , very long series that try to take the super powered fighting action of the popular anime series and adapt it to one of the best anime fighting games. Some people in the US have mix results of how the game came out to be. The visual of the game is outstanding, it is like the character and setting just came right out of the anime and up on to the game. The lightning quick speed and tremendous power that make up the battles in dragon ball make it feel like you are in the game yourself. However, the fighting system lacks the depth and nuance to actually capture that excitement, making Dragonball Raging Blast a game that Dragonball fans may enjoy for its breadth of the content but one that has little to offer the uninitiated. In Raging Blast the environment is very huge as the characters can dash and soar in any direction. The movement is handled simply, with the left stick which will hover you back and forward and side to side, while the shoulder buttons are used to fly up and down. Instead of three story arcs/sagas, Raging Blast encompasses the most pivotal and well known moments from the entire DB series, by boasting over 100 battles! On top of that, the game also features alternate outcomes that were, obviously, never included in the series. Now, you as you might expect, with over 100 battles, which must mean the game features a vast roster of fighters to cover all of these epic bouts that span the entire series. Over 70 playable characters will be made available to you, many of which are capable of transforming into their enhanced forms, making this the largest DB game to date. Multiplayer will include offline and online modes, one of which is an online World Tournament mode. Some single-player modes will include Dragon Battle Collection and Super Battle Trial, in addition to a Dojo mode for training purposes. As of all I would have to say that this one of the best Dragonballz game that I played my whole life and I’m wishing that more and better ones will come out in the near future.

Act V Scene V


In Act V scene V Cyrano enters as he is prepared to talk to Roxane. He is pale and seems to be suffering. But he talks happily to Roxane, becoming solemn only when he tells her that he must go before nightfall. Roxane protests, and then reminds Cyrano to tease the nuns, and he stuns Sister Marthe by cheerfully declaring that he will let her pray for him that night at vespers. Cyrano gives Roxane a comical summary of the news of the court, but his face becomes more and more tortured, and he finally loses consciousness.
Roxane runs to his side, and he comes to, telling her his injury meant nothing and is merely an old wound. Roxane touches her heart and says they all have their old wounds. Cyrano asks about Christian’s letter and reminds Roxane that he would like to read it someday. She says it is stained with blood and tears and is therefore hard to read. But she gives it to him, and he begins to read the words he wrote for her so many years ago.
Twilight begins to fall, and Roxane sits amazed by the voice with which Cyrano reads the letter. She gradually realizes that she remembers hearing that voice under her balcony. Meanwhile, as darkness falls, she realizes that Cyrano is still able to read the letter. Suddenly, it all becomes clear to her, and she exclaims that she has realized that it was Cyrano all along. He denies it, but she now knows the truth. She asks why he kept silent for so long, since the tears on the letter belonged to him. Cyrano replies that the blood belonged to Christian.

Act IV scene I


In Act IV scene I at the siege of Arras, the Cadets of Carbon de Castel-Jaloux languish, surrounded by the Spaniards and lacking food and water. Le Bret keeps watch with Carbon early one morning, and they discuss the conditions of the soldiers. They hear gunfire in the distance, and Cyrano runs in. Every morning he has been crossing enemy lines to post a daily letter to Roxane. Cyrano tells the startled guards that he promised Roxane that Christian would write her every single day. Cyrano looks at the sleeping Christian and says that Christian is dying of hunger but is still handsome. Dawn breaks, drums sound, and Cyrano goes off to write another letter. The cadets awaken and complain about their hunger. There is talk, and Carbon asks Cyrano for his help. The thing about this scenes that get me is how was Cyrano was getting though enemy lines to just deliver a letter. I mean come on that in possible, he must really be that good at fighting because he was doing it every single day without getting hurt. Cyrano is truly a man of his word as he will never back down out of a promise. When he needs something to get done he will do it no matter what and that is one of the reasons why I love Cyrano. I also wonder how much food the solder had during the war because it seems to me that they ran out really fast. It also seem like they was out number because they was keep retreating.
