LYON, FRANCE - 30 June 2006 - Atari today announced that development is complete on Super Dragon Ball Z for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Published by NAMCO BANDAI Games, distributed in Europe by Atari and developed by former Street Fighter II producer Noritaka Funamizu's new studio, Crafts & Meister, Super Dragon Ball Z takes the DBZ franchise into high-octane 3D arcade territory with intense, dramatic combos and unprecedented damage.

With its authentic arcade-style handling and gameplay, Super Dragon Ball Z takes fans of the DBZ series into the eye of the storm, concentrating on intense gameplay and rewarding players who seek to master the game's devastating all-new combo system.
