Let's call this one "After you buy" (You will be forever remembered in our hearts Akira Toriyama. You made many of our childhoods amazing. Thank you Legend sir!)
Fun fact Splitscreen wasn't supposed to be in the base game But after the developers heard we wanted it, they put it in, it was however rushed. Which is why you can only play on one map.
@@OverlyCriticalAnimeHow can something be rushed if it wasn't supposed to be in the game in the first place? It's like someone joining a running race late and getting last place, and you get mad they didn't do better lmao
THANK YOU. Too many people don't care about the split screen but that was the best thing about the old game. Grabbing some friends and running tournaments forever.
@isidorodaviddoro1920 while that is true and shouldn't be justified, the ttimes has changed and it's just a matter of owning what you need to play with others. That wasn't a thing back then which is a true statement
@@Omegax_x1 the only games that had him one armed in that time period were legacy of Goku 2, and sagas. They never had him one armed in the tenkaichi games, so the fact they finally put him in sparking zero with his correct look was huge. That’s what made the character so damn badass in the first place
@@yomomma8791have you ever played? What a silly comment, this game is a dedicated arena fighter...not a hybrid MMO, RPG, arena fighter thing like xv1/2.
I personally believe, IN MY OWN OPINION, the split screen is massive for this game. It was one of the biggest parts of the original games. Anything that brings people into a room together has something special going on. That's what I loved the most about the other ones. Just my opinion, though. Really happy to see this one finally come out and be so good.
Update: He was super excited when he seen his copy, he’s been playing for about 4 hours now and I’m pretty sure he’s going to stay up all night 😂 Thanks everyone for the comments and likes!
Man. You gotta be the best sibling ever dude! Giving that boy the same kinda fond memories folks of our generation got to have at that age. Good work! 👍
finished the whole episode battle mode without knowing how to vanish for great ape just ultimate move the heck out of it ultra instinct goku was the hardest for me using jiren because i literally didn't know how to vanish
Dragon ball z kakarot is more like a love letter, this game isn't for db fans, it's for hardcore fighting fans or budokai tenkaichi fans. The game is over complicated with too much mechanics and has literally no moment where you can just mash buttons and have fun. The only way to beat the story mode if you're normal person and not some bt3 veteran is spamming super and ultimate attacks. And I'm saying this after playing with default settings, meaning some auto assist is on. Without auto assist the game would just be as unplayable as is bt3
A lot of words for im struggling with the game. This game seems to go back to old school methods. Games back in the day were only 3-4 hours of content if that. For the price they were the difficulty was jacked so you got your play time worth. Would you be happy paying 60$ for a 3 hour game? No one would. @TheAndreyCraft
I love the speed of this game. Too many Dragonball 3D fighterz feel slow even BT3 at times. This break neck fast reaction time pace feels so satisfying and fun to look at.
THIS! All my favorite DBZ games have had a sense of speed to them AS WELL as the ki blasts and slow but powerful blows, but the speed is often forgotten about.
This game takes me back 😢😢 Got together with my highschool friends to play this game just like the good old days with Budokai Tenkaochi 3. We are in our 30s now
This game has a "DP system" where if you WERE to compete, you couldn't use a team of characters like MUI Goku, Broly, and Gogeta in one team without exceeding a numbered limit to gauge a character's overall power... you'd have to do something like MUI Goku, Kid Gohan and Jeice as a team instead.
@@sargetyu I do remember that there is a numbered meter that needs a certain level to transform, otherwise it is used for utility, reaction, or unique moves.
You have up to 15 DP. On average, most characters have around 4-6 DP. Higher powered characters like MUI Goku, take up all 15 DP. Ginyu Force tho, is exactly 15 DP when you pick all 5 characters. So it's a balance between picking 2 above average strong characters and then picking Mr. Satan because he's 1 DP to fill up any leftover DP or Going for a full team, like Ginyu Force so you have more bodies to go through or just going balls to the wall with MUI Goku or a similar powered character that take up all the DP.
I feel you, my brother used to always beat my ass in fighting games including Budokai despite being the younger brother, used to hate that, but now that he’s not here anymore I miss it
The fact that the devs abandoned the split screen mode reveals such a sad reality of modern times. Playing with friends and family next to each other used to be the most important part of gaming for most players. People are getting so lonely these days...
Yah but nobody plays it for story, for story you have kakarot , episode mode is actually for you to learn how to play, get a hang of it and get items. Sure some images seems low quality ,but majority of people probably just skipped everything except the parts where you can change the outcome and fight in what if battles.
I feel that was more for the ppl that have seen and played this story hundreds of times. Keeps it short and simple. I know what happens in dragonball don't need full cutscenes for the 20th time.
What i really loved about BT3 was the amount of playable characters. The destruction and the full arcade fighting style. It was simple, and fueled the itch of mindless fun. I immediately bought this game on release with no remorse. I enjoyed the modern games for what they were, but nothing compared to the BT series.
@@drankFoD everyone is treating it like it’s an esports game lol so far the community is what’s boring me already. The way they tell the story (even tho we all know it already) is boring, their lips don’t sync well to what they are saying and that’s all I ages issues with really. Aside from that I’d say it’s a tough game like he said in the video and if you have time to sit there and practice and all that then yeah. It’s a fun time
Trust me, it's fun. I dont wamma be competitive at all. I'm looking at it through the lens of an adult who played the series as a kid and teenager. Just have fun once it's fully out.
The Dragon Ball fanboy in me wanted to buy the deluxe and up addition to play it on the 7th but the adult in me said no, we got bills to pay. Edit: To the people that don't understand what I'm saying, I made my own business decision in wanting to challenge myself as an adult and not buy the game super early to prove to myself that I can be responsible with my money and wait until the game drops. Being patient enough to wait until crunch time is a big improvement for me and nothing needs to be bought day 1.
I was 20 when Sparking Meteor (Tenkaichi 3) came out, and it has been my favorite Dragon Ball game so far. Sparking Zero is a great succesor and although I miss a few Characters (King Vegeta, Evil Piccolo, Fasha, Pikkon, Super 17) the game brought back everything I missed in a Dragon Ball game. Love it!
For anyone struggling to beat Great Ape vegeta: Try to use kamehameha beam struggle. Use solar flare to get distance when you can, ki charge when he’s down or is a good distance. Spam Kamahameha, charge it and then release when vegeta uses his mouth beam.
What worked for me is go into sparking mode and just punch the crap outta him, when is about to run out ill use the ultimate, Rinse and repeat and got him quickly after he beat me like 10 times
Engagement bait. At first I thought it was just him being him, but so many people have mentioned it and its been acknowledged in comments over so much time now its for the engagement.
I'm kinda surprised to see a paid early access release that isn't more bugs than actual game, man I'm so thankful that this game came out in the ps5 generation, I don't want to imagine what ps6 gen monetization will look like.
@mikemarks6136 what an ignorant thing to say. The first 3 tenkaichi games were all ps2 exclusives and the last one came out in 2007. This game came out in 2024 and is on every platform so obviously people would expect better
You can play online with item power ups or without them. You can play online with DP which limits the power of the characters they can use on their team. You can't have 5 broken characters. You can either have 1 broken one and 1 mid one or 5 mid to low power ones.
I’d say they need to add the option to “favorite” fighters that you mainly want to use. Because 45 seconds to scroll through 180 characters for a team is just not enough time. Easy access to your favorite characters is a must need.
transformations mid-game aren't just there to be cool. You get rewarded for transformations in game, you do more damage and get a speed boost. Its been that way in previous entries as i remember it.
the classic trilogy really kept me busy as a kid . As my mother would leave for work and leave me at home with the PS2 and these games . Such fond memories all coming back anew!
One of my favorite aspects of the game is how well the old controls mesh in with the new ones. I played through the entire story of BT3 the day before early access came out, I chose the classic control scheme, and there was almost no learning curve into getting into the swing of things. Couple new mechanics but the new mechanics blend seamlessly with the old controls imo.
I love that gameranx builds a mini drinking game into every video. Take a drink anytime a narrator mispronounces something in the craziest way possible.
AND ITS ONLY 25gb on PS5 !!!! This game is a statement to all other game companies, this is how you make games, old school games sell! I’m happy this surpassed COD in pre-orders this year so worth buying guys it’s an amazing game and online is fun and even playing the game unlocking stuff fairly and quickly is fun too, feels like I’m a kid again playing this 17 years later, love it, big up Toriyama RIP 💛🙏🏽
@@pedromontes2498 exactly I knew it you're just a xenoverse crybaby that's sad we got sparking zero instead of xenoverse 3 sparking zero's story mode is expensive and innovative making creative liberties with the what ifs it actually tries and unlike xenoverse drip feeding u stuff like that with dlc they gave us for free it has custom battles which have unlimited story possibilities does xenoverse have that just constantly the same boring fighting system people want this game and if that hurts u sorry
@@pedromontes2498 don't just start spewing lies of delusion bcs you don't like it saying it doesn't have content cus that's just lies the amount of characters should show u 182 at laugh unlike xenoverse constantly milking it's fans for characters they should already have
Blame the series s for that. Raging blast already struggled in split screen and now there´s too much of a performance difference between the series s and more powerful X and PS5
@astrobollo the split screen function was something they added last minute initially they didn't think people would want it because online gaming is so popular now, they only added it last minute because fans said they wanted it and as falcon said it's hard to render fully destructible environments from two different angles on the same screen
You mean after you buy right this game is so fun bro could barely sleep last night everytime I tried I just got back on the game it has everything a dragon ball game should it's great 1,000 outta 10 the story mode is awesome the customs battles are interesting the tournament modes are awesome the combat is so fun it deadass makes you feel like you're watching through show the artwork is fantastic the moves are great it's so much to do on here it's crazy they really cooked with this game
Fr tho the game is literally so good when I first played it I was shocked this was a real game and I wasn't dreaming.the what ifs are insane if you know you know all I'm gonna say and once you learn control scheme the combat is very dragon ball esque and engaging and addictive,I prefer standard, classic will be mos5 preference to me the classic just requires to many inputs and is difficult to learn.
@@JacobGlynn-yw8kb I chose standard cause I'm not tryna break my stick all the clashes on standard using square instead of the joystick I feel like that's 10 times better and the controls are easy once you get the hang of them
Holy cow, I had no idea this was connected to the budikai games, man, I put hundreds of hours into that game back in the day. Seeing that they've still stayed true to that old ethos of those games is amazing, that's honestly all you have to say, I'm 100% by this now. What a treat to discover something I've always wanted already exists, and I can get it now. Good day.
Split screen mode was not originally part of the game but was made because of the demand of the player base after first review and the dev were kind enough to give it to us in just a few months. Also I think this game is a staple of how devs should take every criticism as positive and work through them cause the improvement in the game is very notifiable from it's first trailer to now.
Point cost and the stock mechanic actually helps to balance the canonically stronger characters. You lose when all characters die and having lower cost characters lets you pick more and thus have more total health. You also don’t need to use stocks on transformations meaning more usage of the utility skills, many characters have one that instantly max powers them allowing you to use a super then instantly refill to keep the aggression on. Ironically the casual modes are the truly toxic ones as the restrictions aren’t present so fusion stacking and max power gokus are everything.
The whole split screen, and it being to hard to have two different pictures is such a poor excuse. Those old games were just as cutting edge visually and they had no problem implementing all stages in split screen.
@@symbiotex1751 A xenoverse 3 would be fire im ngl but I dont think there gonna make one for a good while since this game dropped. Bandai might try milking off one piece after this game
fighterz and kakarot also look amazing.. fitghterz animelike style is unbeatable as it looks like watching dbz anime.. and i saw some comparison of kakarot and sparking zero . many people liked more kakarot special moves/atacks.. to me kakarot and sparking zero looks same-ish right now.. i dislike how terrain is made in both.. that unreal engine grass looks so ugly..
Awesome video review. Watched it all the way through. Keypoints: 1. Local co-op ( offline vs 2 ) has split screen but limited to one boring stage.. 2. Background characters chatter can be annoying to some, ( that feature was in BATTLEBORN , can turn it off,) 3. Custom dialogue matches , seems interesting
Yeah, right? Was going to pick up it up then saw the price. Nope! Will have to wait for a sale 😢 As great as this looks, can't justify $100. Industry is out of control these days.
Idk, ask your people over there and stop spewing this shit all over the internet like it's going to help with anything. We know how money is right now, shut up.
If it was maybe 10 years ago, I would have definitely picked this game up. Now, having played so many DB games, I have outgrown the need to play the same saga over again. I was never going to play online, I never did that in the previous budokai games either, but just from a single player perspective this is definitely not a full price purchase for me. I'll wait for a complete edition with discounts if ever want to get it but otherwise it feels like I will be playing the same game which i did all those years ago which is not a bad thing, just not for me
Same here, I loved the old games, I loved the xenoverse games and even liked kakarot. I love the idea of this game and will probably get it when it goes on sale, but this gameplay feels like xenoverse 2 but with more characters
@@ModernMarvel83 It's not about which dragon ball game, it's just my quota for DB games in general is full. I'm going to be playing Metaphor: Refantazio when it launches because it's a new IP from ATLUS and, I've honestly outgrown the DB hype now. Nothing against the franchise, it's not for me anymore.
So split screen only has one stage? If that's the case then I'll have to hold off unfortunately. I played all the old ones growing up and now I have a 12 year old son. I wanted to play exclusively with him in split screen across destructible environments. I'll wait for a sell.
The budokai games were the first games that I got extremely good at. The first game that made my competitive side kick in and turn me into a “sweaty.” Life has been a little rocky but I’m going to relive my childhood with this
I got a refund on it. It's like nobody appreciates the Toriyama aspects of the IP anymore. That's not to say the gameplay is bad - I'll buy it again when it's at a reasonable $20-25 - but the game has no soul at all. 😭
Duuude this is so nostalgic!!! I've been telling my son about the Tenkaichi games for several years now... Kids these days just don't understand, but now they have a masterpiece to show them the way... Tenkaichi 2 and 3 are still legendary to me, they may be old but they are gems and probably will be for a very long time. They have survived the test of time too, I played 3 recently
Game is a 10/10 don't get me wrong, the only actual issues I have are that they only give you 45 seconds max to choose up to 5 characters (gets extra tough with the Point system) so you might just get hoed and have less characters. The other one is that you're not able to choose the order of fights/fighters in custom tournaments so if you wanna have a mix of real players and CPU's you can't have ur friends all fight bots till later rounds unless you get lucky with the computer deciding the matchups. Besides those, the game is damn near perfect can't wait for it to fully drop for everyone who's waiting on it🙏
I mean, growing up my brothers and I mispronounced names because we read from an unofficial sub. That was a number of years before the dub made its way to TV. Old habits can die hard. Could be the case with him
played all the dbz games of the past. Love love love the art and animation. but the game is shallow and has like no content. just a ton of characters who all play the sameish.
@@kingoflegends712 in my opinion no. And I've played every budokai game. Animation and art are peak tho. But i blew through pretty much all content in 1 day. Online matches are decent tho but get boring super fast. I'd wait for a sale unless ur a die hard dbz fan.
This game symbolizes everything that went wrong with the franchise after Z ended. Between GT and Super there was a long period of nothing. Sales were going down and the story was being rehashed ad-nauseum. Then Super came out with it's silly hair colors (Red/Blue/Pink) now purple and silver. It's a money grab that plays on nostalgia and popularity, the fighting mechanics suck compared to real fighting games.
2:30-2:48 Might not have been intentional, but I love how you talk about the diverse roster of characters... but all you see in the footage is variations of Goku lol
I’m more mad about the lack of an in depth story mode, I need it like the old games where every single story is available and you can literally play damn near every battle
PLEASE let us ALL give this game its flowers!!! They truly out did themselves with this action packed, adrenaline sparking, exact replica of the anime!

Aside from that I’d say it’s a tough game like he said in the video and if you have time to sit there and practice and all that then yeah. It’s a fun time
Trust me, it's fun. I dont wamma be competitive at all. I'm looking at it through the lens of an adult who played the series as a kid and teenager. Just have fun once it's fully out.
This game is a love letter to all of us "old" ones, I'm crying of happiness. I haven't cried like that since saying goodbye to Going Merry
14:30 how the clouds move in the back is beautiful
The Dragon Ball fanboy in me wanted to buy the deluxe and up addition to play it on the 7th but the adult in me said no, we got bills to pay.
Edit: To the people that don't understand what I'm saying, I made my own business decision in wanting to challenge myself as an adult and not buy the game super early to prove to myself that I can be responsible with my money and wait until the game drops. Being patient enough to wait until crunch time is a big improvement for me and nothing needs to be bought day 1.

Yeah if I had cash to spare I would probably get it, but atm I have to pass as well.

I was 20 when Sparking Meteor (Tenkaichi 3) came out, and it has been my favorite Dragon Ball game so far. Sparking Zero is a great succesor and although I miss a few Characters (King Vegeta, Evil Piccolo, Fasha, Pikkon, Super 17) the game brought back everything I missed in a Dragon Ball game. Love it!
For anyone struggling to beat Great Ape vegeta: Try to use kamehameha beam struggle. Use solar flare to get distance when you can, ki charge when he’s down or is a good distance. Spam Kamahameha, charge it and then release when vegeta uses his mouth beam.
What worked for me is go into sparking mode and just punch the crap outta him, when is about to run out ill use the ultimate, Rinse and repeat and got him quickly after he beat me like 10 times

I'm kinda surprised to see a paid early access release that isn't more bugs than actual game, man I'm so thankful that this game came out in the ps5 generation, I don't want to imagine what ps6 gen monetization will look like.
I mean just the fact that this game has such a huge roster off launch and it isnt all DLC speaks a lot about the devs behind this! Huge props
The pc port is terribly optomised
@freezasama5802 considering the original games never made it to pc (atleast by my knowledge they didn't) that's not too surprising
@mikemarks6136 what an ignorant thing to say. The first 3 tenkaichi games were all ps2 exclusives and the last one came out in 2007. This game came out in 2024 and is on every platform so obviously people would expect better
@@forwardmoving8252 Ironic on the ignorant part when you just spewed out nonsense, shut up.
You can play online with item power ups or without them. You can play online with DP which limits the power of the characters they can use on their team. You can't have 5 broken characters. You can either have 1 broken one and 1 mid one or 5 mid to low power ones.
I’d say they need to add the option to “favorite” fighters that you mainly want to use. Because 45 seconds to scroll through 180 characters for a team is just not enough time. Easy access to your favorite characters is a must need.
Just a quick correction, you do have more episode battles that will get unlocked when you finish other ones.
did you buy it
@@panamike6178 Yeah ofc. I played like 50 hours but then you get bored.

the classic trilogy really kept me busy as a kid . As my mother would leave for work and leave me at home with the PS2 and these games . Such fond memories all coming back anew!
One of my favorite aspects of the game is how well the old controls mesh in with the new ones. I played through the entire story of BT3 the day before early access came out, I chose the classic control scheme, and there was almost no learning curve into getting into the swing of things. Couple new mechanics but the new mechanics blend seamlessly with the old controls imo.
I love that gameranx builds a mini drinking game into every video. Take a drink anytime a narrator mispronounces something in the craziest way possible.
This is THE GAME, so dang hyped to get the platinum trophy, all the outfits, just everything this peak game has to offer.

Okay the coop mode being just one stage is a deal breaker. I grew up playing couch coop fights on Budokai. Ffs.
Same for me. What kind of crap fighting game doesn't have 2 players smh.
You have Xbox limitations to thank for that
At least, the modders will most likely fix that for the PC version.
Blame the series s for that. Raging blast already struggled in split screen and now there´s too much of a performance difference between the series s and more powerful X and PS5

@astrobollo optimization, There are Pc mods for that but even there the Pc is running on low resolution and low settings to get decent fps.
@astrobollo the split screen function was something they added last minute initially they didn't think people would want it because online gaming is so popular now, they only added it last minute because fans said they wanted it and as falcon said it's hard to render fully destructible environments from two different angles on the same screen
I got here after the vid has been posted for a minute. I litterally typed in gameranx dragon ball
You mean after you buy right this game is so fun bro could barely sleep last night everytime I tried I just got back on the game it has everything a dragon ball game should it's great 1,000 outta 10 the story mode is awesome the customs battles are interesting the tournament modes are awesome the combat is so fun it deadass makes you feel like you're watching through show the artwork is fantastic the moves are great it's so much to do on here it's crazy they really cooked with this game
Fr tho the game is literally so good when I first played it I was shocked this was a real game and I wasn't dreaming.the what ifs are insane if you know you know all I'm gonna say and once you learn control scheme the combat is very dragon ball esque and engaging and addictive,I prefer standard, classic will be mos5 preference to me the classic just requires to many inputs and is difficult to learn.
@@JacobGlynn-yw8kb I chose standard cause I'm not tryna break my stick all the clashes on standard using square instead of the joystick I feel like that's 10 times better and the controls are easy once you get the hang of them
They will patch the timer and make it longer
Holy cow, I had no idea this was connected to the budikai games, man, I put hundreds of hours into that game back in the day. Seeing that they've still stayed true to that old ethos of those games is amazing, that's honestly all you have to say, I'm 100% by this now. What a treat to discover something I've always wanted already exists, and I can get it now. Good day.
Split screen mode was not originally part of the game but was made because of the demand of the player base after first review and the dev were kind enough to give it to us in just a few months. Also I think this game is a staple of how devs should take every criticism as positive and work through them cause the improvement in the game is very notifiable from it's first trailer to now.
“I’m not doing this on purpose I’m just gonna move past it” 😂 had me dying
I was a master at Budokai Tenkaichi 2 😁 best game ever. So yeah, just too excited for this one 🎉🎉
Point cost and the stock mechanic actually helps to balance the canonically stronger characters. You lose when all characters die and having lower cost characters lets you pick more and thus have more total health. You also don’t need to use stocks on transformations meaning more usage of the utility skills, many characters have one that instantly max powers them allowing you to use a super then instantly refill to keep the aggression on. Ironically the casual modes are the truly toxic ones as the restrictions aren’t present so fusion stacking and max power gokus are everything.
The whole split screen, and it being to hard to have two different pictures is such a poor excuse. Those old games were just as cutting edge visually and they had no problem implementing all stages in split screen.

Idk, ask your people over there and stop spewing this shit all over the internet like it's going to help with anything. We know how money is right now, shut up.
If it was maybe 10 years ago, I would have definitely picked this game up. Now, having played so many DB games, I have outgrown the need to play the same saga over again. I was never going to play online, I never did that in the previous budokai games either, but just from a single player perspective this is definitely not a full price purchase for me. I'll wait for a complete edition with discounts if ever want to get it but otherwise it feels like I will be playing the same game which i did all those years ago which is not a bad thing, just not for me
Read everything you mentioned and completely understandable. Having said that still buy it lol and give it another shot.

The budokai games were the first games that I got extremely good at. The first game that made my competitive side kick in and turn me into a “sweaty.” Life has been a little rocky but I’m going to relive my childhood with this
I'm always trying to figure out who's doing the “before you buy". I'm actually surprised it's Falcon.
What's disappointing is your pronunciation of the characters... 💀
I got a refund on it. It's like nobody appreciates the Toriyama aspects of the IP anymore. That's not to say the gameplay is bad - I'll buy it again when it's at a reasonable $20-25 - but the game has no soul at all. 😭
"nobody appreciates the Toriyama aspects of the IP anymore" what do you mean by this?
Duuude this is so nostalgic!!! I've been telling my son about the Tenkaichi games for several years now... Kids these days just don't understand, but now they have a masterpiece to show them the way... Tenkaichi 2 and 3 are still legendary to me, they may be old but they are gems and probably will be for a very long time. They have survived the test of time too, I played 3 recently
Game is a 10/10 don't get me wrong, the only actual issues I have are that they only give you 45 seconds max to choose up to 5 characters (gets extra tough with the Point system) so you might just get hoed and have less characters. The other one is that you're not able to choose the order of fights/fighters in custom tournaments so if you wanna have a mix of real players and CPU's you can't have ur friends all fight bots till later rounds unless you get lucky with the computer deciding the matchups. Besides those, the game is damn near perfect can't wait for it to fully drop for everyone who's waiting on it🙏
This was painful to listen to with how many of the names he mispronounced
I mean, growing up my brothers and I mispronounced names because we read from an unofficial sub. That was a number of years before the dub made its way to TV. Old habits can die hard. Could be the case with him

This game symbolizes everything that went wrong with the franchise after Z ended. Between GT and Super there was a long period of nothing.
Sales were going down and the story was being rehashed ad-nauseum. Then Super came out with it's silly hair colors (Red/Blue/Pink) now purple and silver.
It's a money grab that plays on nostalgia and popularity, the fighting mechanics suck compared to real fighting games.
You are delusional
yep. whole thing was supposed to stop after cell saga, but producers forced toriyama to keep going
honestly i refunded it because it didnt feel as fun to play as the other DBZ games.

There's a mod for PC where instead of playing on the chamber it randomly picks through maps. I'm using it and it really takes me back
