Trunks: "Darn those androids" |
| Luis C from United Kingdom Essex says (10/Jul/2003): |
Dragonball Z budokai is a brilliant game, being the biggest DBZ fan ever i could not wait for this game to arrive, The story mode was great and they kept the original Japanese voices YES! My favourite saga was the radditz and freiza ones. Ive seen the sagas on TV and were great and in the game did pretty OK renactments. But i spotted a few downers in the game e.g. I dont remember Vegeta saying "Aunt sallies" during the android saga and whats with Majin Buu on the cover of the game? He's not in it God damn it!
Anyway The story mode is great although Ban Dai simply have no idea and have missed loads out (its been rushed) Tournament mode is brill no complaints really (win loads of money), Characters moves are awesome especailly the super saiyan transformations.
But because I hapen to be the biggest, ultimate Dragonball Z/GT fan of all time ever I rate the game a respectable 10/10 (it can't be helped). Remember if there is ever to be a next DBZ/GT game on the playstation 2 it better be by Funimation or else lol.

Vegeta SS2 |
| jesse frazier from Missouri USA says (21/Sep/2003): |
This game was so cool exept that it was way to short i mean i beat the story mode at least 6 times in like 2 weeks but the best part is forming super sayian with vegeta(of corse who dosnt's like vegeta i mean hes the coolest), goku, trunks and gohan those are my favorit but the graphics are cool to and why dont they include about at least 8 more characters in the first one i mean buu is on the cover why can you use him!!!! But overall i think its a pretty cool game.
|
Can't wait for the second one!!! |
| J.I.B. from Pinckneyville, IL, USA says (9/Oct/2003): |
The game was awesome, it was pretty close to the story. One of the differences was when Frieza was on the ground, he wasn't cut in half. I gave this game a 10 because I'm a major DBZ fan. The graphics were pretty good if you ask me. I only wish they would have went farther in the game, to atleast the end of majin buu, or when Goku flies off with Uub. I guess the next one will have that though, I liked the voices and sounds, they were very much like the series. I wish they wouldn't have made a teen rated game though, i wish they could be more like japan and not cut anything out. I think they should make a game for all the movies, such as Broli, and Cooler. This games fighting style was pretty good, I kinda wish it had a little more blood and gore, I'm a big fan of that too(ain't that right Vice City fans). I also thought some of this game was funny, like when Cell fused with Krillin, man that was funny heh heh, too bad i never got to see the wedding of Krillin and Android 18. One thing that would have been nice is if Trunks could use that sword of his, I mean if your gonna carry that thing around, you might as well use it. The World Tournament was pretty fun, I don't like how they can kick you outside the ring so, I like to fight to submission myself. The Breakthrough Capsules made it fun, I've got 2 more characters to earn that for, I wonder what happens if you get the Dragon Balls again after you've earned evrybody's breakthrough. I don't like spending hours trying to buy the things though, this almost made me make this game a 9 but I decided not too. I mean what's the point of making a person go though hours of buying to get dragon balls. I liked the alternate costumes, but I wish they had more than 2. Also Goku's alternate costume wasn't that good, he's my favorite character, too bad they gave Vegeta the cool costume. The way they designed Piccolo was pretty cool too. I didn't like Great Saiyaman, I hate him, Gohan's pretty stupid to do that. This game also really makes me wonder something, the way Zarbon acts and talks, I wonder if he's gay. I won't go through all the characters, I dont think you want to read too much. Anyways, this was an awesome game, they did a great job with the graphics,sound, and gameplay were terrific, they need to make the other one this good as well.

The game could have been a little better |
| matt from usa says (21/Aug/2003): |
DBZ Budokai for PS2 was a very good game even though it wasnt very challenging because I beat it in less than 5 hours. Lets start with the complants I have for the game It needed alot more fighters it should have had the whole ginyu force and all of friezas tranceformations it also should have went into the buu saga. What I really liked about the game was that when you did attacks like spirit bomb it blowes up every thing around you. thats about all I have to say about the game. I am a very big dbz fan and I hpr the next game is alot better
|
It's so tight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Jesse from Ozark, MO United States of America says (24/Dec/2003): |
The reason why I like this game, it has lots and lots of death moves. The graphics are very bloody. The sound goes very good with the game. The gameplay has alot of obsticals and is very entertaining. The lifespan of the character would be better if they had more ki-wave energies. I really enjoy the game. It is a one-of-a-kind game. The game has more value to me than my own T.V. I think this game has awesome death moves and senzubeans. I think the rating of this game should actually be rated everyone, because it just seems to not be very violent, and everone should already know that video games do not reflect real life. I enjoy this game because, I enjoy hours of fun. I can't wait until they come out with budakai 3. I know it will be better than the rest. Also, The game has really great characters. The reason why I kind-of don't like this game is because that you cant get monjinbuu or fatbuu, the game is hard for a nine year old to get through the game on very hard mode. My favorite characters are trunks, piccolo, goku, gohan, teengohan, cell, and freiza.

the best game for playstation 2 this YEAR!!!!!!! |
| mike from Conneticut,USA says (21/Dec/2002): |
i just got this game and the graphics are amazing this game is a kick a$$ game for anybody who dosent have it than ur missing a whole lot of $hit
|
It's A good game and all but.... |
| Mike Mathis from Usa says (29/Dec/2002): |
Okay i am a dbz fun and all and this game had awlsome graphics and all but it takes forever to get some things.
Example
1. It will take forever to get all 7 dragonballs (even if you go into Mr. Popo's shop)
2. Only 1 player can choose Custom with a memroy card (come on what's up with that, what if i friend doesnt have the game)
and 3. The game can be so frustrating because the eneimeis can be so cheap.
Other than that though the game is pretty fun. They have awlsome attacks and the voices are good too.
My favorite attack is the Wrap Kamamhaha, Super Kamahamaha, and Truks Burning Attack.
Hey if you want to beat a tournment easyily heres what you can do
Put the Timer on 30 seconds (found in options)
Choose Gohan(kid) and Costimize him to have these
Kamaehamaeha
Countious Ki Blast (x2) the reason is the more he does it the more powerfull it gets
Vacine
Heart Disease
the last one is your choice but i recomend either unlock potentioal or amour
Have fun

Decent, but no replay factor |
| Gogicollenks (fusion of Goku, Piccollo, Goten, and Trunks) from Venice Beach, California says (14/Mar/2003): |
This is a good game. It is however, way too short. I rented the game and beat the story mode in about a hour. There is no replay factor in this game at all. After u beat it and unlock all the tournament modes, it is about the most boring game i have ever played. Even in the story mode there is only about 8 fights (8 good, harder fights, some of the fights like the one against android 19 are just way too easy). I got this game for christmas, and i don't think i have played it since that morning. Dragonball Z Legends for PS1 has a better story mode, but if u are debating between the two, i would tell u to get Budokai.

Budokai was Ok |
| Cody Thomas from USA says (24/Mar/2003): |
I played Budokai and beat it in one day. It lacks a good storyline. The only other flaw is the sound. Otherwise this is a really fun game. The World Tourament is cool and the graphics are top notch, but the total lack of gamplay really brings this game down. Its made by Funnamation witch really ruined the game. They mess with a good show then call it there own. Vegetas Big bang Attack, not his Big Bash Attack funamation! This is a game that I would recomend to a DBZ fan that would just play it to womp up on some of there favorite characters or some of there worst hated villans. I expecally played it to show Goku who the real sayain prince was :D. Well theres some unlockables that are cool as well, expecaly Krillin-Cell (you'll have to see for yourself kiddies). You can play with a lot of different characters but without a Buu saga whats the point? This game, on the upside to its short story, puts in a Tourament mode witch lets you have hours of fun after you beat the game. You can win cash and buy skills and stuff from Mr. Popo (He kinnda sounds like a drug dealer! Hey kids let me sell you some capsules!). All in all its an ok game that lets you have some fun with the Dbz gang. Now go and put the hurtin' on some of your freinds.

Great Game For The PS2 |
| A gamer says (21/Apr/2003): |
First of all as a DBZ fan I was blown away at just how accurate they were with the levels, character apperince and how well they followed the show. I have to admit I was a little dissopointed that Choitzu wasn't playible. All of you who say that it is bad because the Bu Saga wasn't in it: you have to remember the Bu saga only started recintly and the game has been in production for years. Also it is MAJIN BU not MARGIN BOO. Get it right people! Also the Garlic Jr. Saga was the shortest saga not not that relevent so there was no point in putting it in the game. The game graphics were WONDERFUL as well as sound/speech (I loved that they got the actors to do the voices) and gameplay. Although it was great and will continue to be so for a long time like I said I was a little dissipointed about the lack of Choitzu and the fact that you can not fly on command as you shuld be able to in my opinion.

it wos a good game |
| Aiden from England says (21/Apr/2003): |
its a good game if you like button bashing games but it was very very short and easy to complete.You cant go to super saiyen 3 or 4 and you cant fuse with other carecters. I think there could be some improvements like the graphics and the languige, (its in flamin japinese.)
|
Make it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| GundumWing from Somewhere in the world says (21/Apr/2003): |
I agree with my cousin on page three of the reviews for two reasons.(My Cousin is Hero Yuy) One we like Gundum Wing. Two, DBZ games have to go from beginning to end. This review is short, sweet, and under word limit but I don't care. I have over two hundered in my school who say the the same thing. I don't speak for myself but I speak for the people that I know and that want better. I will be heard and will make sure of it. This is my review.

not very good |
| A gamer says (29/Apr/2003): |
I am a real big fan of DBZ/GT and when i first heard there was a game been released i was like WOW! but now that i have played it i dont know why i really got my hopes up..... 1/ the japines tlking dose my damn nut in (I speak english and i payed gd money for it too so the least you could of done is put it in ma own language) 2/ the graphics sucked 3/ why do you have majin buu the saiyaman etc on the cover of the game when ya cant even go into them sagas basilcy i think the makers of the game all need to sit dwn and think of a nother way 2 rip ppl off coz its not worth the money i paid for
|
Awesome Game! |
| Brian Muhl from Ontario,Canada says (2/May/2003): |
The game rocks! The sound and graphics rock! The storymode sucks, we left out so many more guys... Garlic Jr., Cooler, Brohly, Babadi, buu, dabura, pui-pui, king kold, the other ginyu people... They add Zarbon, but not a buu saga? They make a SS4 Goku, but not a SS3? They make a Hercule, but not Garlic Jr.?
Other than that, the game rocks!!!!!!!! I beat it in two days! The odd thing is thst Frieza is harder than Cell?
|
needs to be able to pick anybody in story mode |
| alex from newkensington , pennsylvania says (19/May/2003): |
the game is sick. like you should be able to pick any person in story mode.like if you pick trunks you should have to start in the future and fight the andriods when you start.and when you pick goku you should start at the end of the dragon ball
saga to the kid buu saga. if you were able to pick any body
in story mode i would always pick trunks and if their was a buu i would
pick him.also they should have girls in it like bulma or chi chi
|
ahhhhhhhhhhh Advaced |
| Drew Antrim from New Mexico U.S.A says (20/Jul/2003): |
This game rules. I only have one more character! But the Advaced Tournament is hard as crap! And the wish with the dragonballs is a heart breaker. The story mode is fun and so is the legend of hercule. Zarbon sounds like a women and 19 is a feaken buu wannabe. But its one of the reasons I bought a playstation 2.
|
It was really awsome |
| Craig from anderson,Indiana says (22/Jul/2003): |
It was very good!!!!!!!!!! graphics were really awsome. And the sagas were really cool they looked just like the real show. And the moves for the characters were really great. And it was a good idea to have dragonballs on the game. And the capsule buying moves idea was awsome.

THE GREATEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE!!! |
| The Great Saiyan Prince SS2 Majin Vegeta from N.Y., N.Y. U.S.A. says (24/Jul/2003): |
Dragon Ball Z Budokai is by far THE GREATEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE!!! The graphics are as good as they get, the gameplay is wonderful, the speed is great and the Burst Zone is the greatest feature a Dragon Ball Z game could have. I guess it's to make up for no energy battle (kamehameha and final flash). But all and all the game is the greatest ever. Budokai 2 also promises to be better too. It will feature the Buu saga and all the fusions and new transformations. It will also add a new mode called Dragon World which will allow you to search for the Dragon Balls. You must check out these games if you haven't already or else your puny planet will be destroyed. You have been warned by The Great Saiyan Prince SS2 Majin Vegeta.

pretty good |
| roberto from wantagh new york usa says (31/Jul/2003): |
This game is a great game iif ur a dbz maniac. Some people are saying its short which is true but there are a lot of othere things u can do and complete in this game. im still trying to beat the herculse saga. hope budokai 2 is even better.
|
its ok |
| bob from ak, usa says (18/Nov/2003): |
this game is pretty cool for character amount and transformations, its not as great as all y'all are saying but its alright the first review i read was pretty good, where is the triform technique? best game ever!? no way. Halo is the best game ever no doubt. and this game does not cover the majin buu saga, get over it.
