I thought the idea for this game to kinda make it like the show was quite interesting but this didn't quite cut it. I mean seriously the game said wow they had so many characters i think it was 90+ but thats bs cause almost half of em are all transformation. that turorial is also the worse tutorial i have ever played. it should at lease be interactive. they need a lot more characters also like 100+ not including transformations. but i guess spike was to lazy to finally nail ir and make all the characters. and what is up with the movie story mode sagas only one battle im sorry but there was a lot more than one battle in the dbz movies. oh yeah where are the alternate costumes... wow you get different costumes for different forms who cares. now the gameplay although you might think u get these gigantic levels they are all way to small for a free flight type of game like this. and also u can only fly one way straight. they really shouldnt of made it only one button where you hit and thats it. the z battle gate mode was pretty cool, that was one of the things that saved the game kinda but then again the costumes make no sense like goku when he beats frieza finally he walks away with his normal clothes and hes not battle damage as much as he was in the tv show. also the ozzaru arent as big as they are in the show. now next time like dimps make the next budokai and spike should step down. atari were u on crack when u let spike the creator of a wrestling game make a dragonball z game. they probably dont even like dragonball z. well heres a character list of people i think that atari should add to the list in budokai 4 or w/e next 1 gonna b called: all the evil shenrons, pikkon, king piccolo, all of king piccolos henchmen(tambourine etc.), nail, supreme kai, super kid buu(the super muscular one), uub(all his forms), general rildo, mighty mask, adult trunks(GT), adult goten, hildegarn, lord slug, turles, king vegeta, all of bardocks men, kui, android 13, android 14, android 15, android 8, kid krillin, the red ribbon army, babidi, all the supreme kais, grand kai, king kai, bulma, chi chi, general tao(cyborg), farmer(who fought raditz), gohan(GT), baby(all his forms), dr. myuu, artificial 17, dende, metal cooler, king cold, and almost every dbz character you can think of they should have in the next game. thats some characters they need to add. over all i thought this game was ok but budokai 3 was a little better but i got board of both so i played budokai 1 which i havent played in a while.
Well those are my suggestions, here are my ratings for the game:
7.5 Presentation
it was interesting try at reinacting the show but it wasnt as good as budokai 3 or the show
8.0 Graphics
these were better than budokai 3 but they were a little clunkey but the intro was great
4.0 Sound
it sucked badly they really need the music from the show to make it complete
6.9 Gameplay
hmm this is the determining factor of the game although it was like the show it was just too bad
Lasting Appeal NONE
7.0 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average) Preet Good but poor.
Thi is actually a review but i put sugesstions to stay on-topic. So discuss if you agree or not.
