Aura Burst Guard allows your character to throw up a wall of energy to more effectively block incoming attacks. Aura Burst Charges allow your character to enter a unique extra-powerful state for example, the Super Saiyan heroes gain a substantial increase to their attack power in exchange for a rapid drain of their ki energy, and the immortal Majin Buu regenerates his health. The only significant additions to the basic gameplay are the Aura Bursts.
Occasionally some of the characters' moves involve hitting the Circle button during the attack for added damage, but those are few and far between. Although there is a wide cast of characters, each one controls almost identically to the last.
Players take control of one of a score of characters from the Dragonball Z television show and movies and pit them in one-on-one combat against one another.
The gameplay is almost identical to the last version, with all of its virtues and vices.
If you played the previous PSP offering Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai, don't expect many changes in Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai: Another Road.
