When you charge money for something, you should deliver what it is that you're selling. Namco seems to have forgotten this by releasing a bare bones DLC pack that skimps on content and can be mostly be completed in a few minutes. The only thing that gives me hope is that this says GT Pack 1, which makes me think that they're going for small batches of content to be released frequently. Still, there's no guarantee of that, so I'm going to review this as if this is one of the three DLC packs we're going to get, because it very well may be.

So, let me put this into context. In the main game, there are over fifty side quests that essentially consist of one fight. How many of those did they add in the DLC? Two. Only one of them is related to the actual story of GT. I know that people gave GT lackluster reviews, but if you're going to add content based on a theme, you shouldn't shy away from doing just that.

Related to that is the two Masters, Tien and Yamcha. They exist, and that's all I can say about them. They're not related to GT and people weren't exactly clamoring for them. However, they are the meatiest bit of content that we get, so I can't complain THAT much about them.

What is related to GT, then? Well, we have three new characters and a few special moves. They're genuinely fun to play as and feel like they had a bit of work put into them. The special moves are a combination of outstanding and lackluster, but that's always been the case and I'm not sore about it at all. But here's the thing: they're GT Trunks, GT Goku, and GT Pan. That's the bare minimum, isn't it? If we paid a few for this DLC pack alone, the characters would have justified it.

As it stands, this is 25 bucks for three DLC packs, packs that I assume are this similar a size. If that's true, you could combine all three of them into one and it would be worth maybe ten bucks. So instead of being excited about this, I can't recommend it. There's next to nothing in the pack that I could even argue tries to be worth the price.

If that changes, I'll be back to edit this. As it stands, don't grab it.
