definatly the begining of the best dbz games.
The graphics are very nice. The energy was made more realistic compared to budikai 3. When you charge your energy in the game its not a bunch of shiny triangles. it really looks like auras you would see from the show. It dosent look too realistic and at the same time it dosent look to anima. This balance made the whole experiance alot more intresting and fun.
The new views they had came up with make the game more challenging and fun. unlike previous games were once you learned a pattern to defeat the enemy the game became too easy. The split screens for multiplayer were not all that bad considering "how els would they do it?"This overall was the best aspect of the game.
The bigger viraity of character made the game have a bigger viraity of styles. such as using burter for his speed or janimba for his accuracy. Sometimes the game would be quite funny when you would use master roshi vers ssj4 gogeta and have master roshi win.
The sounds for the game made it very intens during battles. The music on the menues was not anoying in anyway and you could listen to it without wanting to strap a grenade to your tv.
The effects of how powerfull your character was made the game more realistc and to see how skill and thought made a huge difference in how you played.so people could see why , in the show, the most powerfull usally won unless the person fighting got really clever.
bad:
The main part I hated about the game was that you dint have a big veriaty of moves.each character had spacifics moves that were effective but there was no viarity wich made the game get boring fast after you had unlocked all the characters. The capsuls they did give you only maded you stronger and did not give you any combo of moves wich made it lose viraity and destroyed any "self styles" there were.
The sound was a little bit to quiet during battles.I ended up listening to my own music instead while the game was running it got so bad.
even though the new views were nice they had alot of problems that needed fixing. When you dashed at a character and they dint move,alot of the time you would fly right past them.you couldnt use any fun, cool moves when they were not locked on,so you couldnt go around blowing things up for fun unless it was at your oponante.
overall:
All together this is a great game to rent and beat. it is very challenging and shows that developers are going on the right path.it can get broing if you have the game a long period of time but for the short time of it, its a awsome experiance.
