This game totally rocks. When I got it I was a bit skeptical, thinking it was going to be as slow of gameplay as DBGT: Final Bout... I was wrong. The controls are crisp, the moves are amazing, and the graphics look as if it were the show itself! I do wish it went past the Cell saga and into the Buu saga, but they will probably save the buu saga and the DBGT sagas for Budokai 2 :)

SUPER SAIYAN FUN

This game is summed up in one word: Amazing. I've been a huge fan of DBZ ever since 5th grade, and have been waiting for a DBZ game of this caliber for the longest time. Sure, Hyper Dimension for SNES and DBGT Final Bout for PSX were great, but they were pretty much just pure fighting. Budokai introduces some new elements to the old generation of fighting games. For example, there is now an actual true-to-the-show storyline, which even a DBZ veteran can enjoy, even if he or she already knows the entire thing. Also, you can buy skills to customize your favorite characters.
Speaking of characters, there are 23 of them. Among these are Krillin, Vegeta, Androids 16, 17, 18, and 19, Cell, Trunks, Goku, and many, many more. The skills are cool, and when performed they look even cooler. My favorite skill is Trunks' Final Buster. When executed, it fires a big sphere of energy at your foe, creating a giant explosion, and actually changing the scenery around you by demolishing everything is the explosion's path! It looks AMAZING. The background looks something like Namek after Frieza used his trump card to make it explode.
Now, on to the combat. The combos are simply executed, and you don't have to rush pressing the buttons to execute an Energy Dan like you do in Ultimate Battle 22 for PSX. There are 60 plus combo moves for each character, including throws, energy waves, and strong physical attacks. The bosses are, for the most part, tough and challenging, and provide good training to improve on your skills.
The graphics could be a lot better, but I think it goes better rather than some flashy, smooth graphics when compared to the TV show. Some characters are a little too polygonal, and the way their mouths move don't exactly match the text, but the awesome energy attacks greatly make up for those faults!
There are 5 fighting modes to choose from. Story, Duel, World Tournament, Practice, and another cool one. I'm too tired, I forget what it is. All of them provide good challenges.
Dragonball Z Budokai is by no means a perfect game, but it's extremely fun, even if you're not a DBZ fan! Every game has its faults. This one is the graphics. If you like DBZ and have been waiting for a good one to come out, this is the game for you!

the best dbz game ever

When I heard that their was going to be a dbz game coming out I pre-ordered the game and bought a PS2. It's definetly a must-have for any DBZ fan. The game has Story mode, World Tournament, Duel, Practice, and the Legend of Hercule. The game has cool cut scenes from the series and some great alternate ending once you beat the game the 1st time around. I think the coolest part are the skill capsules where you can customize your own fighter. For, example, my favorite Custom character is Super Sayian 2 Gohan with Viral Heart disease and Vaccine, Kamehameha, and Super Kamehameha. The are also some rare capsules like Frieza's spaceship where once your beaten a Spaceship comes down beams him up and he comes back as Metal Frieza. You can also collect all seven dragonballs and make a wish, which gives you the option to give a breakthrough capsule to a random character ( 3 choices). This game will be an instant classic.

THE BEST DRAGONBALL Z GAME EVER!!!

Dragonball z Budokai is one of the best Dragonball z games ever released. You can choose up to 23 great warriors like Goku, Vegeta, and many others. There are a great deal of unlockable characters. The best part about this game is that you can edit skills in the Edit Skills section. If you are a Dragonball Z fan, then you will love this game. The story follows the anime series very accurately.

The hardest thing abouut the game, though, is the Tournament Mode. Basically, the only way to win is to knock the person out of the ring. As you progress through the tournament, it will get very difficult. for me it took me five long days just to beat the tournament mode, and when you get to the end, you get a bonus character,(I am not telling who the character is.)

I wished they could have put more detail on the game, for example, adding the Majin Buu Saga, but I guess I can see why they Infogrames did not put that part in because the saga is not done on Cartoon Network.

Overall, I think the game is a great game. If you are a Hardcore DBZ fan like me, then you should go out and get it. Maybe the developers will make a part two of this game, at least I hope so.

the coolest game ever made

THIS GAME IS THE COOLEST EVER. IM A VERY HUGE DRAGON BALL Z FAN AND THIS GAME MAKES IT ALL EVEN BETTER. TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE GAME IT HAS A STORY MODE, PRACTICE MODE, AND A TOURNAMENT MODE. IT HAS 23 CHARACTERS BUT YOU CAN GET TEEN GOHAN IT GIVES YOU THE CHOICE TO PIC KID OR TEEN GOHAN. EVEN IF YOU DONT LIKE DBZ YOU CANT NOT LIKE THIS GAME. YOU CAN FLY AND YOUS ATTAKES LIKE THE KAMEHAMEHA LIKE OFF OF THE TV SHOW AND THE SPIRIT BOMB. THERS NOTHING REALY BAD ABOUT THIS GAME. THE STORY GOES UP THROUGH THE CELL SAGA. AND YOU CAN ALSO GO SUPER SAYAIN DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT. I BEAT THE GAME THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT. BUT DONT GET THE IDEA THAT ITS EASY ITS PRETY TUFF. IT TAKES A LOT MORE THAN BEATING THE GAME TO GET ALL THE CHARACTERS. THE GRAPHICS ON IT ARE VERY GOOD ALSO. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A GOOD GAME AND YOUR NOT SURE ABOUT THIS GAME YOU SHOULD TRUST ME AND BUY IT YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED. WELL I HOPE THIS REVIEW HELPED. NOW I GOTTA GO PLAY SOME MORE!!!!!!

FINALLY WE HAVE A GREAT DRAGON BALL Z GAME !!!

We have been waiting for a great DBZ game and we finally got it. You can either choose story mode, world tournament, duel, or practice. In the story mode you start in the Saiyan Saga and go all the way to the Cell Games. Along the way to defeating Cell you'll getnew characters and new skills. There are 23 characters you can be they are Gohan (as a child and teenager), Nappa, Android 18, Hercule, Goku, Android 16, Android 17, Zarbon, Yamcha, Frieza, Android 19, Piccolo, Cell, Trunks, Dodoria, Captian Ginyu, The Great Saiyaman, Tien, Recoome, Vegita, Krillin, and Raditz. You get to use well known moves such as the Spirit Bomb, Kamehameha, The Special Beam Cannon, and The Destructo Disc. Choose from easy, normal, hard, or very hard modes of play.ITS THE BEST GAME EVER. They are making a secong game with the Buu Saga.This game has good graphics, sound and outstanding gameplay. I also reccommend The Legacy Of Goku 1 and 2. Don't think of buying the ultimate battle 22 because it costs less, this game is simply better than it. Iws'nt going to get this game because it wasnt an adventure game and those are the kind I like but, even though its a total fighting game I gave it a shot and now im hooked on it. Take my word for it get this game its awesome if Icould have I would have given it a hundred stars.
