Wonderful! So much has been done...however...
I'll begin my review on characters.
Characters: 9/10
Althought many characters from the previous games are in Tenkaichi, we have additional new ones. But we also have many missing, such as Kiobito, Uub and Omega Shenron.
Some characters have lost their origional forms and go straight to transformation, such as Broly, Cooler and Bojak.
Fusions are seperate characters, so we can now have one of our favourite fusion fights without worrying about a time limit, so how about a 'Gogeta versus Vegetto' battle? It's pure gold, you can have so much variaty and fun with the characters, although we could have had more.

Music: 8/10
The game has music from previous ones, the music if OK in moderation, however it can get repetative and annoying.
it's still clear and can really set the mood to a battle, it's all part of the dragonball experience!

Voice: 8/10
It's great to have acess to the Japanese voices in Tenkaichi, but in the English voice version, many attacks are still said in Japanese, and some characters speak in Japanese after a battle. (like ssj4 Goku beating ssj4 vegeta)
Some voices can be extreamly quiet and hard to hear, such as Broly doing his final attack, Perfect Cell and his spirit Bomb and Gotenks with his Super Ghost Kamikaze attack.

Gameplay: 9/10
Solid gameplay, I found it fairly easy to learn after 30 minutes...took my sister a little longer.
The ability to fly freely and have open environments to freely destroy adds masses of Dragonball validity, making the game that more authentic to the series.

Graphics: 9.9/10
OK, I couldn't give it a perfect because I'm picky on giving them...but anyway.
The characters look remarkably like those from the show, each detail has been added...Buu now blows steam when he powers up, characters spark when fully powered and the ki attacks run smoothly and look wonderful. Especially in power struggles.

Overall: 9/10
Fantastic game for DB/Z/GT fans, if you are a loyal fan to the series this game is perfect for you.
This is also a fantastic (and sometimes funny) multiplayer!
Rent it, or buy it. That's what i suggest, it's worth a play.
