A REAL REVIEW

User Rating: 9.6 | Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi PS2
Ight, I first and foremost want to state that I am givin this game a REAL review. This game was, overall, unique to all the other budokais in many ways (To state the obvious). First the Pros... The flight System is truly amazing; allowing for free flight unlike any game ever made before. The game is definitely not easy, it took me at least an hour to really get the feel of the controls. The game has an extensive amount of unlockables and things to receive, and there is an incredible amount of characters as well. Also the new fusion section really adds a fresh sense of "power levels" that have never been in any of the budokais before. Now for the huge amount of Cons...First I would like to say, i'm gettin sick of all the gay DBZ music, I want to hear good hardcore fightin music when they go to brawl! The game is not nearly as flashy and pretty as it was in it's predecessor, Budokai 3. The counter system is difficult to use, to say the least (U have to time it perfect... it's do or die). The transportation system has been fiercely reduced when in reality it should've been fiercely increased. No more in-game transformations, which really kills the fantasy of DBZ. Each character, though unique in some ways, all have the basically same attacks. Now for my opinion on what would've made it better... Firstly, IN-GAME TRANSFORMATIONS FOR CHRIST SAKE! I think that the transformations should've been there along with ALL their attacks (capsule system) and you get to choose what they get, while at the same time keeping the new Z evolution system. I also wish the story mode would've been more like that of number 1 (story mode) instead they just stand there saying things that don't really match to the storyline. Lastly, the game should've been a LOT more flashy in the super techniques and counter system, this is DBZ, it is ALL ABOUT THE FLASHINESS!!!

Agree or disagree, w/e. This was a decent game for a new company, but I would definitely like to see some major improvements made if they ever plan to make another one... I swear, not being able to make Goku go Super Saiyan during a fight killed it for me...
