This is a Dragonball Z fighting game... THAT IS IT. But, it was pretty well done
User Rating: 7 | Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi PS2
Dragonball Z Budokai: Tenkaichi is another Budokai game, but this time, the fighting controls are different and you have bigger and destructible battle arenas, and there are new characters, but some characters in Budokai 3, didnt show up in Tenkaichi. The World Martial Arts Tournament is actually very easy. You can easily knock the characters out of the arena. The Z Battle gate is pretty well done, but all the characters do in the cutscenes is talk and then take one step back and jump high. One good thing that i DID like in this game is that Spike gives you the option to change the english-dubbed voices to original Japanese, and that's always a good feature to see in anime-based games. I just hope that Naruto: Clash of Ninja can have that feature too. Sometimes, Dragonball Z is better off in dub because the charactes sound pretty horrible in Japanese. An example is Goku, and anybody whose name starts with "Go," and then there's Krillin (Kuririn) who is voiced by a woman. Don't think all the voices are horrible. There are some characters who, believe it or not, sound better in Japanese than in English. One example is Frieza. Another is Vegeta, #16, and almost all of the other characters. (not Bardock, because he is voiced by the same actor who voices Goku) Anyway, Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi isnt the BEST dbz game. In my opinion, i think Tenkaichi should have been either the first DBZ fighting game or Dragonball Z: Budokai 2. The character animation looks good, and the Super Saiyan hair shines, so graphically, it's cool. If you want a real challenge, and listen to the characters in Japanese, go ahead and pick it up.
