Best Z Game yet

When my brother came home with this title, my first thought was "Eh, i don't fee like another Z game is in the cards for me", but i still gave it a shot. And boy, that shot must of had some oomph to it, cause what i found is one of the greatest fighting games, never mind Dragonball Z,i've ever played Gameplay With all the freedom this game gives you, you'll never want to go back to a Budokai title again. Tenkaichi has opened up the battlefield. I know this is the third Tenkaichi game, but it's the first i've played.With simple button combos, high class freedom, and slick, smooth controls,you'll be treated to the most fluid experiece you've had in a while.Except maybe you in bed experience, but that's beside this point. Graphics They get the job done. Very attractive, with some bugs like fallen characters limbs piercing the ground or cliff. The water looks great, the sky is very well rendered, and the character models are closer to the TV characters look than they've ever been Control Despite who fluid they are, they may be to easy.After an hour of gameplay, it gets same old,same old and you just want to shut it down. i mean, they are great controls, the set up is fine, but it gets stale in an hour. Plus, the ki charging is a little unresponsinve Pros:biggest DBZ yet, slick gameplay,excellent graphics Cons:too simplified for some tastes, sound track can get annoying

Budokai Went Out With A Bang

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, is said to be the best of the series and possibly of all the DBZ games. The game has countless characters, different levels, more fighting abilities, and more capsules to help you out during battles. Not to mention the graphics are amazing for the PS2 and the voices were nearly perfect when it came to acting! Guess what? NOW you can fly but its more like your on the ground but your just in the air...the only time you fly is when you get knocked in the air or when you knock a character in the air. No doubt, this is the best game of the series. - Jake The Snake

is dragon ball z budokai 3 better than dragon ball Z tenkaichi

in a way DBZ budokia 3 is better than DBZ tenkaichi but in some ways no. in DBZ budokai 3 is because you can fly around getting money training your character up and of cause you can do many different story stuff but you cant use item fusion to make lots of other charcters like you can make characters like mecha frieza baby vegeta bojack etc and the ultimate challengewhich is a bit better than dragon arena so what game do you think is better? DBZ budokai 3.5 DBZtenkaichi 4

Non-stop fun

This is a fantastic game,it not only improves every time, but it keeps it's originality, which some sequels lose. Giving the player more freedom in story mode, is just one of the pleasures you will enjoy while playing this game. It retains it's original format of battle, but it gives you more characters and skills, having you differ from a defensive fighter, blaster, or phyical all out fighter. Teleportation is now available and it let's you dodge attacks from your enemy.As well as some good ol' fashioned skills that the die-hard fans will enjoy. The story goes from the sayain saga all the way to the GT saga....get a buddy and emerse yourself in the fun that is DBZ.

SS4Bodukai Fusion

I dont care what none of yall say this is da best bodukai game that atari's ever made. Not even Tenkaichi!!! Blowing up half of the world,DESTRUCTIVE ENVIROMENTS!!! Say even my favorite character Broly is in here. Flying around dragon world without a care. You still have to buy their skills and items. Pinballin' your opponent in the air. (some of these things Tenkaichi didnt put in or took out.) It has the level up your favorite character in dragon arena which I didnt like so much, but I got over it. DIS GETS A 5!!!

I'm a DBZ fan, and this game definitely did not disappoint.

This game is cool. They've added some stuff to the fighting system, such as dodging and teleportation, as well as some new characters, such as Kid Goku. The only complaint I have is it could've used some more unlockables. If you're a DBZ fan, get this.

Best DBZ game yet

Not much to say about this. The hyper mode is definately the best part about this. The only flaw in this otherwise unblemished game is its weak story mode. It's all in stills, but you get to fly around. It's awesome, even if you're not a fan of the series.
