Budokai, not as great as expected.
It is extremly tough to pick up the nuances of the new fighting system. But it is clear from the beginning that there are some flaws. Like the first 2 Budokais, there is so much here to like, and so much here to be improved upon.
Budokai 3 will go down as the best in the series because of the lessons learned in the first two. I hope that if a Budokai 5 were to come along, it will fix all the little annoying problems with the fighting system and make the new system live up to it's true potential.
One final note, although they were sacrificed to add to the game play, I do miss the cut scene style of the finish moves. Since most of the finish moves are pretty spectacular it would be nice to see them in their full glory again.
