My Opinion |
| A gamer from Portland, Maine says (18/Feb/2003): |
This is my opinion of DBZ-B. I feel it was a great game, and everyone by now knows what characters are in it and what capsules do what by now. So I am going to state a few things that could have made it better: Some characters could have had better moves. Tien's Tri-Form technique. Tien's Solar Flare. Chaotzu. Cell uses his tail to drain life. Fusion with characters. Bulma. Master Roshi (if you can have that dimwit Mr. Satan in it why not have Roshi?) Use actual animation from game. Krillin's Destructo Disc could have been stronger. Dragonballs should be quest items instead of bought from Mr. Popo. Why does Popo sell Capsules and not Bulma?
I felt this was a very entertaining game at best and many things could have been added to this game to make it better, since it is on Playstation 2 and not Playstation 1. But all in all it was a good game and is worthy of 8 stars.

Are you Ready.... |
| Makeba Hinds from Tokyo, Japan (transfer student) says (19/Feb/2003): |
3 words. Dragonball Z. I personally think it is a good game but Ive seen better. You can definately tell its american made. While i'm currently Japan i noticed that the DBGT deals a lil differently then DBZ. Other then thaqt i really like the game. Trunks is Gorgeous, Gohan is a sweet lil kid and everry one from the saiyen saga till the cell saga is here. Its really amazing how the characters look so much like the ones on the actual anime. And how they followed the storyline so perfectly in story mode. The only thing is. I CAN'T SEEM TO NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY TO BEAT IT I CANT BEAT ADVANCED MODE IN TOURNAMENT MODE!!!!!!!!! IVe tried everything but i cant beat it. Im sure i will beat it some day buty I stil like the game. The graphics are not the best yet stil atainable. All in all u DBZ fans out there get ur butts up and prepare for battel!!!

THE BEST PS2 GAME EVER! |
| Ed Fischetti from London,England says (19/Feb/2003): |
I think this game is great i think the graphics are good for ps2,the action is great.there were a few that could have been made better like putting characters from boo saga and actually having the boo saga in story mode. and advance level is way too hard i cant beat it how far i try and also the mission where have to kill goku krillin and gohan with just 3 bars of life.
also i think the special moves like kamehameha and destructo disk and piccolos special beam,etc. were very well made. this is why i give 10/10.

Fun game! |
| Sean from USA says (19/Feb/2003): |
This game, I have found to be very fun, but also frusterating at times. The game can be too hard for me at least, and I think the easy setting should be a little easier. The game, however, was made by Funimation, which is a bad thing. Funimation has ruined DBZ in america to the point of people thinking its a show designed for kids, which really pisses me off. Anyway, the game is fun, with lots to do, so even the best fighting game player will have a long time till doing everything that is in the game.

THIS GAME IS GREAT!! |
| Bobby from New York , USA says (20/Feb/2003): |
If you are a dbz fan, you better go buy this game now! This game covers all the things that happen in the real cartoon. There is a story mode, world torniments, customizing, and much more! people are sayig the story is to short but it really isnt. Its just not challanging enough. But in that case you can go to opions and change the story mode to hard or very hard. That will be much longer and more challanging. The world torniment is also very fun, customize your favorite character to make the best fighter in the torniment. Well i dont want to give away to much of the game so get up and play!!
|
Great Game |
| John from Kentucky, USA says (20/Feb/2003): |
I just think this is an amazing game. It covers just about everything we've seen so far. From a story mode to buying skills this game is excellent. If you start out with the story mode you'll go straight from the saiyan to the cell games. The tournaments are alot harder and if you can beat the advanced mode of the tournaments you just have to be lucky. Over all I give this game a 8 out of a 10 rating

Budokai Rocks |
| Frank from Oneonta, USA says (23/Feb/2003): |
This game is awesome. As for all of you that are disappointed that majin buu isnt in it.... well i couldnt be happier because i think hes the worst excuse for a villain ever. The game would be so rediculous if that pink blob were in it. I enjoyed the story mode and the duel, fighting and finishing moves, transformations, etc. Funimation really did turn down the violence too much. It babyish sort of like yoshi's island from super nintendo. If there were more blood violence in the actual fighting like when a character is hit with a blow, then it would get a full 10 stars from me. Well thats all for me.

Greater than final bout eh? |
| James Speers from England says (23/Feb/2003): |
Finally... a Dragonball game with sagas and characters that where never in other Dragonball games. The graphics are bright, colourful and jaw dropping, the music and sound is superb and gameplay is fantatic but what happened to the build-up mode? It's still missing a few characters (Majin Buu, Dabura etc.) and you have to buy the character's attacks (God, I hate that so much!), the graphics are flashier and the battle system is different but the great thing is that depending how powerful your attacks are you can send your opponent. This is a brilliant game but I still think final bout is the greatest Dragonball game.

Dragonball Z Budokai Rocks!!! |
| Rebecca from Houston, TX says (24/Feb/2003): |
First of all i'd like to say that the graphics of this game were awesome. The characters voices, such as Vegeta's were superb. It was kinda short but i was playing it nonstop. That just goes to show how much i like it. The story went along with the series, what more could i want! It was especially fun to fight your favorite villain and play your favorite character with the graphics so well. All in all i'd have to say that the game was worth the money. I know some people wouldn't give the game a perfect score, and maybe they have a pretty good reason for it, but i was kinda glad it wasn't as violent as the series. That makes for a wider amount of kids or adults having more wholesome fun with a game without laughing at the fact that someones bleeding to death because of a punch. I thought the backgrounds were awesome too. I have never been able to see a dragonball z game use their background well. I think this game does the trick on that. The sound and music also adds to the suspense in the story too. These are my reasons why this is the best dbz game out their so far and why i give this game a 10.

My favorite game!!!!! |
| A gamer from Philadelphia, USA says (28/Feb/2003): |
I love the DB and DBZ series and what i have seen of DB GT. The game is a great replica of the series. I only wished that they had spent a little more time on the game so that they could have included through the Buu Saga making the Dragonball Z series complete. If they put in characters such as Android 19 and Great Sayiaman why not Buu, Dudora, and gotenks. I mean what DBZ fan wouldn't love to see their SSJ3 characters. I have unlocked everything in the game excpet all the breakthroughs because finding all the dragon balls in Mr Popo's shop takes for ever. I was also a little disapointted that they didn't put in all of Tien's moves, tri-form, solar flare, and his ultimate attack, the tri beam cannon that he used against Cell's second form. Even with these things lacking of love this game and would trade it for anything. Hopefully they will come out with a new one in a few years with all the things they missed and include things from Dragonball GT.

good i guess |
| A gamer from waterford michigan usa says (28/Feb/2003): |
i mean that this game has good graphics but i think that dragonball gt final bout was a better game because in budokia there was no build up mode like in dragonball gt final bout and i thought that buying skills instead of learning them was stupid.
Also i think that the game was way to short for somthing like dragonball z if you were to start the episodes of dragonball z from the beginning it would take you months to watch all of them.
and in dragonball gt final bout if you did two of special moves with the characters at the same time the blasts would collide and wich blast was stronger would power through the other blast and hit the enemy the next game should be alot longer and instead of buying skills you should have a build up mode to levele up and learn moves as you level up and it is missing some characters to the game and it should have more sagas that is why i dont like the game to much

Great Game, But I have some thoughs |
| Justin Wann from Pennsylvainia, USA says (1/Mar/2003): |
DBZ-B was an awsome game, but I do have some thoughts. First of all, more and better characters, like Majjin Buu, Goten, Cooler, King Cold, Master Roshi, Chautsu, And some Secerit characters not in DBZ you can get by using codes, Characters like... Mickey Mouse, Lara Croft, Blade, Pacman, Kiby, and Yugi From Yu-Gi-Oh. Better Attacks, like Tien's Tri-Beam, Cell's Absorb and Perfect Sting, Goku's Super Sayin 3, And more. Mini Games would be nice, and There's got to be a way to get the DragonBalls a little easyer. Oh And let fusion be avalible, so Goten and Trunks, Goku and Vegeta, and possibly, 2 of the secerit characters, Can fuse together. I hope Someone Uses some of my Ideas.

A little from a lot |
| Max Rowland, Saiyan Outcast from Selmer, Tennessee says (2/Mar/2003): |
My fellow readers, if you have not experienced the thrill of watching a saiyan's first transformation, the spirit bomb, My two favorite characters(Goahn as a kid going S.S.2 and Trunks)actually having a bit of a fighting chance instead of always being a loser, now's the chance. DBZ has come far, has brought great things to the word 'Fighting.' I mean, now adays, when you get pissed, don't you just want to burst into flames and sore the skies? i am Max, the youngest 13 year old Saiayn outcast. And if you are tired of waiting for the show on T.V. why not watch it in 3d with yoi deciding if Yamcha can beat Vegeta, or Tien beating Cell!! This game is rated above ten.

ITS TO SHORT, BUT ITS FUN!!! |
| Timmy from Nevada,U.S.A says (5/Mar/2003): |
It is so short, i mean you can fight in a tournament and do story mode and ya, thats fun but after that it is boring. All it is used for once you do everything is just fight on it. You can't do like missions or anything else. You just go against an oppenant and fight or have a friend come over and fight with them. It is sooooooo boring. The only cool thing about it is that you can play as the DBZ characters on it and it is so cool at first but then it is VERY boring afterwards.

This is my opinion |
| James Pocock from Brentford, London,England,United Kingdom says (8/Mar/2003): |
DBZ Budokai is a great game and the graphics, fighting style and attacks are wicked. I agree with James Cherry, they should have put Majin Buu and Dabura in it, but i'm afraid they haven't. But the thing is, If they put Hercule and Gohan saiyaman in it, why didn't they put somone like Supreme kai or Videl in it? I mean, it's just bad that you just got Zenie for the Novice and get characters for the harder stages like Adept and Advanced. Super Saiya-jin 3 kakaroto (Goku) would be wicked but they only but Super Saiya-jin and Sauper saiya-jin 2 levels in it. But apart from all that, it's the best fighting game i've ever played. Beats the heck out of Tekken 4 or Mortal Kombat.

a good game but too many flaws |
| robbie from london uk says (13/Mar/2003): |
it is a brilliant game but ther are a lot of flaws, its too slow to load,moves are strange, in tournament mode that guys japanese jabering can REALY tick you off, in 2 player mode only 1 person can use custom charecters unless you have another memory card,i really dont like mr popo's skill shop because its randon skill (i spent 6 1/2 hours looking for trunk's buster cannon) and the story mode is too short.
But i have to admit even with all these problems it is still a good game once you get used to it, a must buy for all DBZ fans but personaly i'd wait untill the price goes down a bit before buying it.
(1 more thing thats a problem.... GETTING BEATEN BY HERCULE/MR SATAN IN THE FINAL OF A TOURNAMENT IS SO ANNOYING NOT TO MENTION EMBARRASING)

DBZ Budokai Rocks! |
| A gamer from New Jersey says (13/Mar/2003): |
DBZ Budokai is one of, if not the best DBZ game i've ever played. Previous one's have been ok, but this one kicks rear end! I have 4 favorite characters, Vegeta, Trunks, Goku, and Gohan. i love the Super Kamehameha, and the Spirit Bomb, but one of my favorite moves is the Warp Kamehameha, and the Final Flash too. This game totally beats all other fighting games. i only have one problem with the game, the frigin' Tournaments are too darn hard! If anyone's got ne suggestions, please help! LoL, Anyway, i like the amount of life the game gives you too. Itz real fun and i enjoy playing the game, i'll give it a 9. And also, this game follows the storyline almost exactly. Which i find awesome! All i can say is, the graphics kick butt, it has all the right characters, and the gameplay is unbelelivable! Great Game!

rock the dragon ball z yeah |
| chad malyan [dbz/gt hardcore fan] from uk says (23/Mar/2003): |
dbz is a great game i liked it because it covers everything in dbz up to the end of the cell games saga the only bad thing that i was unhappy about is that it hasn't got garlic junior or majiin buu in it it has got great modes like story and world match. if you complete story mode you unlock extra episode like in the saiyan saga you get to control vegeta and see what would happen if he did beat the z fighters and if frieza actually got his wish and if cell acidentley absorbed krillin also once you get all seven dragon balls you can have a wish. fighting cell as super saiyan2 gohan will be a memorable moment well that's all im' going to mention see ya
|
It is THE BEST game i ever played!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| River from Minneapolis,MN,USA says (28/Mar/2003): |
Lets talk about the graphics first. The graphics are good and all but the thing that sucks is that when you transform your voice doesnt change except when you do a special move. The sound is awsome the only bummer about it is that only the starting movie (and when you start a chapter)has real dbz music. I think the pictures are kind of cartoonish(like when you pick your charecter etc.). I think the world tournament ring could have been bigger. Now I think the are enough charecters to make it a good game but there could have been more(like videl and majin buu etc.). It could have had more sagas like the buu saga. But other than all that I thnk it was great. A must buy game.

| Brett Garrity from Clinton Connecticut USA says (29/Mar/2003): |
out of all the dbz games I played this is the best. the characters are awesome.in story mode you go from saiyn to cell games saga. there is no buu saga or the characters in it that is what I hate about it.you get basicaly every move from the game including burning attack death ball super kamehameha and spirit bomb.there is a tournament mode. I think the best people are teen gohan goku cell frieza vegita and trunks.that is my review
