Its one of the best fighting games! |
| Enoc Landero from Germany, Mannheim says (11/Feb/2003): |
DBZ Budokai was really surprising. At first I thought the game wouldn't be that great. The game was awesome when i first played it. It has many secrets, and it takes a long time to beat. (when i say beat, i mean get every single move for all costume characters and everything else, including super saiyan 4 goku) The game was really great. Awesome voice acting. Really good sound. They could have allowed you to fly, the only thing i didnt like was not being able to fly unless you were thrown up into the air. But other than that, the game rocked!

ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTING GAMES OUT THERE!!! |
| Jason from Indianapolis, Indiana says (10/Feb/2003): |
At first when I bought the game and I turned it on, I didn't think it was going to be good. I was really surprised though when I started playing and seen the game play. It's one of the best fighting games I've ever played. The characters look and sound like the real thing. The only problems I had with the game is they could've improved Cell's voice. Also I'd like it more if the players could jump and had more control during flying. I think it would also be even better if while the characters were powering up, rocks came from the ground and their feet powered into the ground. The game is awesome though and I'm glad I bought it.

Where's Kid Buu? Apart from that, excellent! |
| Kid Buu from Planet Buu! says (8/Feb/2003): |
The game is even better if you are into the cartoon itself! It never get's boring with it's magnificent gameplay, and outstanding graphics.
The goods
The graphics, the graphics are great and very good 3D effects! I love the way the saiyans can advance up levels of power and get a super saiyan flame around them! There is proper effect backgrounds and full attack motions!
Gameplay. The gameplay is excellent and very impressive. There is 3 sagas, unlockable characters and season mode!

A very strong title. Best in the series by a mile. |
| Shin Suzuma from England, London says (7/Feb/2003): |
If you have played the previous DBZ games, you won't be expecting much of the latest one, budokai, but suprisingly it is one of the best games of its genre.
You start off with four fighting modes: vs, practice, world tournament and story.
In the story mode, you take on the role of the characters in the real manga. They all look exactly like in the manga except they are in 3d. In the story mode you there is one playable saga and two locked sagas. After you complete the first you move on to the next.In each saga there are on average 10 episodes. After you complete each one you recieve a capsule. Each capsule that you gain in the story mode can be character, an ability that aids you in battle automaticly, a transformation into a supieror form or an offensive fighting move. Another way to earn caps is to fight in the tournament. There are three levels of difficulty but only the easiest is available to you at the start. The is tournament is a simple knockout tournament. To come out first you must win every battle. If you achieve first place, you win money that can be spent on caps in Mr popo's shop.(Don't worry if you don't know who that is). Another fantasic element in DBZ budokai is that you can swap caps with another player. Therefore the game is much more fun if a friend buys it too. Graphics are appropratly cartoon-like but good all the same. Some of the music in the game is taken from the cartoon. The gameplay can get a bit monotenous, expecially in vs mode. You end up just playing safe and using the same moves over and over. In spite of that, you won't get bored with Budokai for a long time, and a lot longer if a friend has it.

|
The best Game ever! |
| Samuel Powers from Annapolis,Maryland,USA says (29/Jan/2003): |
This game is Absoulutely Perfect. You get a chance to battle against all of the opponents up to the Cell Games Saga. With many Characters to choose from and the new skills. Its Graphics are Marvelous compared to its brothers from the Snes. You actually feel like your in the game and that you can beat the game if you try your best. I only see pros about this game. Its graphics are Perfect, Sound is Superb, Gameplay is Awesome, And I would say you get more than you pay for. If you are looking for a game that gives you the freedom to edit characters skills and lets you actually have a challenge, you can find everything in this simple little( Or should I saw Fun and big) game. This is truly, the best game EVER!

MUCH better then I thought it would be!!! |
| Evan from Pickering, Ontario says (29/Jan/2003): |
I got this game for Christmas, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I expected just another fighting game only with characters from my favourite series. There are only 2 things I would have liked. 1 - I wish there was a little more freedom in flight, and 2 - I wish the "Great" Saiyaman was a little Greater you know? He has no KI waves, ok maybe gohan wanted to pretend he was someone else but still, it was a crappy unlockable, Hercule is better...I never thought I'd be saying that! But thats just a minor problem, the rest of the game is GREAT. I liked the unlockable characters, fighting environments and capsules, and storylines. My favourite character is my custom Trunks with Super Trunks2 ability. But my custom teen Gohan isn't too bad either. Actually all the saiyans are good. In short this is one of the best games I have ever played, and I don't usually even LIKE fighting games very much. So what are you doing reading this review? Go play the darn game!!!

A Great Game beter than the other dbz games |
| Brian Christopher from Hawaii USA says (18/Jan/2003): |
I think this game is the best so far of all the Dbz games. Graphics are good voices nice except cell perfect and friezas voice could use some work. Don't get me wrong this game has great improvemants. I only have a few problems with the game.
1 in the cutscenes kid gohan is way too tall. 2. why can't u jump. 3 the break outs are murder on the fingers 4 you can't fly unless u get knocked in the air or u knock ur oppenent in the air. Aside from tese few problems the game is great if u want to email me go ahead...
|
I think this game is brilliant! |
| Alison from United Kingdom says (18/Jan/2003): |
This may be the first Dragonball Z game that I have played because you cannot get most of the games in the UK.
The characters are bright and colourful and most of the backrounds are very like in the DBZ series. Its fun because most controls are mostly easy and their talking japanise and say things which you cannot understand except it show english text at the bottom of the screen. The tourtamentis great becauseit can show the true strength of your character if there is no one to fight you in battle. Most of the game is based on the story but there is a bit were Cell absorbs Krillin, I don't remember that happening in the Cell saga.
It is a great game with great music to go along with great electric guitars played and great voice actors ( even though in japanise) and would recommend the game to anybody who is a DBZ fanatic and is into fighting games.

THE BEST DBZ GAME SO FAR!!!!! |
| ALIX FARRELL from birmingham,england says (18/Jan/2003): |
budokia is the best dbz game so far,but they should of inclued the buu saga right to the end where goku kills kid buu.my faverite character is trunks and when trunks turns into super/super 2 his hair should go longer and it should of had build up mode just like finel about.I think it should involed a tag team so you can use fusion with any character,it's cool when you can by moves instead of figuing the moves out.but what i cant understand is why that goku is the strogest character and when gohan defeats cell and his ssj2.im clad they put the dragonballs on but sometimes its takes the mick coz its takes alot of time to get them.budokia is the best game i think but the next game please insert the buu saga!!!!!!!!!!
|
SAIYA-JIN PRIDE!!!!! |
| torankusu(trunks) from TORONTO, CANADA says (14/Jan/2003): |
this is by far the best dragonball z game...so far they have to come out with a sequel. adding new things( such as the buu saga and as well as characters from movies like BROLI)However their are a few things missing(but i guess thats what the sequel is for) like training it was one thing that made the dragonball games different from other games now they have capsules/cards that are like pokemon. they should have you train when you wanna play against your friends.another is you weren't able to fly on your own someone had to hit you in order to fly. some of the ginyu force members were missing,or tien's tri beam attack, or his multiplying himself attack.I like the way they brought the dragonballs in the game aswell. FINAL THOUGHT ON THE GAME. although it is an amazing DBZ game compared to the others they still need to improve on it.

This Is the best DBZ game ever!!!!! |
| Immanuel Chavoya from Cupertino, California says (12/Jan/2003): |
I am an all around anime fan. It just so happens Dragonball got me started on anime 8 years ago and ever since I have seen every movie, played every Dragonball game and watched every avalible episode.When I bought this game i thought it would be okay, maybe a little better than FINAl BOUT, which sucked,Boy was I suprised that two weeks had passed me by And I Still Loved IT. I cant say this is the best fighting game ever, but it isnt bad. I follows very close to the series and the intro is from the movies(worlds strongest, tree of mightand dead zone).I would covet this game if I were you, and if your really good invite friends over to play,because theres nothing worse than losing to a friend whos never played the game.If you have looked into it, you'll know you can go to Mr. popos shop and buy cool stuff to customize your best charecter.If your lucky youll come across all the dragonballs and you can call upon shenron to grant you a wish(this is my favorite).If you a hardcore gamer like me you will see that it is a fun game but the gameplay gets a little repeditive and most of the moves(combinations) are the same buttons for every charecter.In other words, if you are a good player withone charecter, youll do well with many charecters.all of the charecters voices from the anime on cartoon network are the same in this game,no cheap voice sound alikes.which is why this is like owning a piece of the animes history to me its like a cel but those things are hundreds this is a good priced item,$50 buck somplaces $40 other it just depends wher and when you shop.

Kame Hame Ha!! |
| Famey from Malaysia says (11/Jan/2003): |
Another DBZ game. The only difference this time is.... This one's GREAT!!The graphics are great, the sound and voice acting... WOW!! A DBZ fan couldn't ask for more. A new feature added is you can customize the character to be full on defence by giving 'em Senzu Beans, armour, OR you can make them a one move killer by giving 'em Kame Hame Ha two or three times (for Goku) OR you can make them a combo attacker. This is a game no DBZ fan should miss. Even if you're not a fan, this game will get you addicted for the next couple of months.

true fan "dbz" |
| julius from houston, tx says (5/Jan/2003): |
dagonballz budokai is a great game, but lacking(instert your own word here).well let's cover the basic. the sound is great no lie,but some voices are cheesey like cell's perfect form that voice is is wrong.and freeza voice could be better.graphics are good but where the graphics.(ffx)or(even ff8)music is great, the television version is cool.gameplay-wow were to start?controls-o.k.,fighting-very great,powers-great,story-good and the only reason the story is good not great is doing the the story yuo are going to(no but about it)THAT DID NOT HAPPEN or you might even say THEY DID NOT SAY THAT. i guess you think i'm being hard on funimation? don't get me wrong i'am fan of dragoball. one last thing before i shut up. what is up with the RING OUT. it make's me want to throw my ps2 out the window.btu with all that wrong with the it's still number one with a bullet. if you want to email me cool. to gave me your "rant or raves" it's cool,but no hateing on dbz..because i'm not i jus expect more.........

Sweet Game |
| Alan Yoder from Pennsylvania, USA says (5/Jan/2003): |
Budokai definitly beats all other DBZ games ever made. Although the actual fighting is not very hard this game will keep you busy for a long time. It didnt take long at all to get all the characters or all of the skills. The thing that is what takes long to get are the breakthroughs because you have to collect the dragon balls like 23 times and they are really hard to find. This game is sweet because they added a story mode to a fighting game and that is very rare. It would be even better if they had tag battles so you could use the multi-tap and have 4 player battles. I really like the gameplay and the game can be for beginners or advanced players. I think they should have put in some more outfits and have more characters and make them harder to unlock. The super sayian levels are ok because the game only follows through the cell games and no one in the series have above a SS level 2 by then. They did a good job making all of the characters equal in strength although some of the characters are a bit faster then others and that is the best advantage in this game because you can attack more and block faster. I don't doubt that there will be another DBZ game for PS2 and other consoles and I'm really looking forward to that. Overall this is the best DBZ game ever!
P.S. Isn't it funny how the graphics are better than those in the series?

One of the best games ever. It could have been better. |
| Hasani Burns from San Leandro, CA, U.S.A says (4/Jan/2003): |
This game is the bomb! The good thing is the story mode. They have the story with Raditz' attack, the saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, Freiza, the Androids, and Cell. The thing they could have done better is that you should be able to turn them into a ssj3 or a ssj4. You can only do a ssj2 with Gohan(He became a ssj2 when killing Cell). You should be able to have fusions to! The graphics and gameplay is really good though. Especially the Martial Arts Tournament. The playable characters are kid Gohan,Teen aged Gohan, Great Saiyaman, Goku, Hercule, Recoome, Captain Ginyu, Piccolo, Cell, Trunks, Freiza, Andrd. 19, 18, 17, and 16, Tien, Yamcha, Nappa, Vegeta, Zarbon, Krillin, Raditz, and Dodoria.

Awesome, but still missing something |
| Hus from north olmsted, oh USA says (1/Jan/2003): |
After 5 years in anticipation for another dragonball game to come out for the playstation and ps2, it has finally been done and i must say i am most impressed by everything the game has to offer. Graphics were great, gameplay is great, characters are awesome. The thing i hoped for is a training mode where you can build up your character from a low level to a high one like in final bout, like do some training in the hyperbolic time chamber with the high gravity to reach a new level of power or training in the mountains with piccolo, or training in a gravity room like vegeta, that would have made the game even better. All in All, the Game is a definite buy for any dragonball fan, believe me they will not be dissapointed

this game is the |
| the master gamer from gorgia, USA says (31/Dec/2002): |
Yeah at frist it rocks but after a little it get's boring i can not beat turniment mode on adpet it is hard as $hit i but i ownt to get all the charector but i think it needs more lvl to fight on beacuse that is like only 7 and they are not very good stages.the ring out rule is really cheap too. it would be cool if insted of hercule u got gotanks that would rock and if u could go to ss lvl 3 with goku. too make it short the game could be better but it is the best on i have palyed so u should chek this game out
|
Budokai is 10x better then Legends, battle 22, final bout, and that stupid legacy of Goku GBA game |
| A gamer says (30/Dec/2002): |
Budokai is over all awsome. besides for the fact you cant jump duck or fly, or dodge spec attacks this game is good. also story mode is kind of short, if they would have at least put in Dragonball and made it more then fighting maybe add an RPG mode or something it would have been better.
