almost worth your money

i bought this game for 50 bucks thinking it would be as fun as budokai 3. sadly i was mistaken. This game has alot of potential, with a dishing of 57 characters to enjoy, destructible levels, and a bunch of cool modes. but when it comes down to it, the actual gameplay can really stink. i found myself having to use the punch button all the time, and the only thing that brought some interest back was using a special attack, which really didnt entertain me either. The graphics are pretty good though. all the character models are well detailed and the saiyens have a neat glowing hair effect that i really liked. although i did find the character animations to be a bit "off" in comparisson to budokai 3. Another thing i found very irritating about this game is the music. Almost every battle you play is accomodated by a really boring song that adds no spice to the battle, and actually takes away from any fun you could be having. The controls are kind of a brightspot. Being able to fly up and down just by pressing a button works well, and all the other buttons seemed easily accessible. so if it werent for the boring gameplay, this game would have worked out for me.
