[Gods Dark Angel]

This was already posted in the DBZ forum but yeah its pretty sweet its said to have 40 some characters not counting fusions!

[INUYASHA743]

no offense but this is gonna get locked dude it says no DBZ.

[Dark Malik]

Either it'll be locked or it'll be moved where it belongs(DBZ video game board or something like that)

[idontknow]

this game is gonna be the best budokai yet
so many fighters
hmm... wonder if they have the same glitch form 2 where u could get every item without buying them....

[INUYASHA743]

well they already have a bunch of topics forit at DBZ. so it mght get locked.

[Bakura]

The first and second Budokais were sub-par and over-hyped by DBZ fans. I have no faith in the series. 3 will most likely be a remake of 2, which a remake of 1 with more characters. Unless they change the battle system, the game will usck for actual fighter game fans. Atari is re-releasing Final Bout, and I believe that was better than Budokai. The Budokai is only worth a rental at best. Sp save your money for something important.

Budokai 2 isn't an exact re-make. It had new features plus the infamous horrible Dragon Mode over the Story Mode. I wonder if Budokai 3 is getting as much hype as Budokai 2. I haven't done much research on Budokai 3, ut I seriously hope it doesn't have the Dragon Mode again

You believe WRONG. Every review I read of Final Bout has been that it is a terrible game, some saying worse than Ultimate Battle 22. Here's a website that has some detail on Final Bout. It's old but should help you out.

[Jmanunknown]

dude that aint budokai 3,


Its not uppose to be Budokai 3 that game was DBGT Final Bout the worst dragonball game ever made. Next Budokai 3 is suppose to have a new fighting engine i believe. no dragon world mode and i believe story mode is back also. I believe if this appeals to the hardcore fans again like the original budokai, Budokai 3 may be another best seller.

Well I haven't played Final Bout yet, but surely it couldn't be worse than UB:22. People who've played that.. you know how horrid it is.. horrid graphics.. horrid controls.. horrid sound... overall the game was bad. And it'll be very good for Budokai 3 to have the story mode back. If it had Dragon Mode again, I probably would've just rented it instead of buying it

This coming from a guy who takes reviews seriously. Reality check dude, reviews are nothing more than opinions, just like mine....only I'm not getting paid for it. You haven't played Final Bout, only Budokai...I've played Final Bout and the Budokai series. I think I have more authority on which game is better...you don't, a person who hasn't even played both games. Piss off dude. Waste fifty bucks on the next half-assed Budokai game. No sweat off my back....I'll just have more money. Don't treat opinions like fact, and definitly don't yours as fact.

DBGT Final bout is a far worse game then any of the budokai games its a proven fact not opinion. Thats your opinion that Final Bout is better then budokai. i bet if you aske 9/10 people they'd say that The Budokai games are better then DBGT Final Bout.

[YuGiOhwns]

id def agree with you on that one jmanunknown! for sure....budokai def has my vote over those.

[superman]

I never played dragonball gt final bout! HEY is that only japanese language?

Proving that this forum is filled with $*$*$*$*$*$*$*es. What are they teaching you in school dude? First off...I'll give you a lesson on facts and opinions. Opinions are personal preferences...more accepted when backed up by facts, but all in all, cannot be proven false. Facts....are basically, theories and the like that have been proven to be truth. Liking and disliking anything is opinion...I thought anyone with the ability to type had that in mind, but see the first sentence of my post. Budokai is too repetitive. The first one had the mediocre story mode...wasn't impressed there. Then the second was just a remake with shadowing and outlines, and suddenly it's the best thing ever created. Listen here you jaded fanboys...Budokai 2 just had different characters and one or two additions that are barely wirth mentioning. The crappy Dragonworld was garbage. They didn't improve on the figthing system, which is a harsh disadvantage. In short...it was trash. Just a lame attempt that to get money out of idiot fans...and it obviously worked seeing as you're buying the crap even though they haven't made any commendable improvements to the game. In Final Bout, the attacks kicked way much more ass, and it was more fun than watching your character do the exact same combo as your opponent. The creators did a half-assed job when they made Budokai. It can't be ranked up on the skill levels of its competition ( i.e. Soul Calibur etc etc). To have a good fighting game, you need such awesomeness. I'm sorry to this, because I'll get flamed by the losers who worship the garbage series, but none of the DBZ games rank anywhere near spectacular. I happened to enjoy Final Bout more because the characters were more diverse. Prsentation kicks ass, but if you can't back it up with actual gameplay, it's not even worth mentioning. Though simplistic, Final Bout was still fun. Plus, with the new release, it'll only cost around 13 dollars, unlike the 50 dollar Budokai that's not worth the price. The only time Budokai could be remotely fun is when you have a friend, and even then it sucks ass. Yet, when I played Final Bout, not only could I level up characters ( which substituted the story mode), but it added to the fun of multiplayer mode. In Budokai, it's pretty much a one-sided match. Who ever can mash the most buttons wins, or who ever had the better power-up wins...or even, who had the best energy attack first off wins. It's your opinion that Budokai is better than Final Bout. I bet if you asked 9/10 people, they'd say they don't really give a damn what you or a review says. Now I repeat...piss off. Go spend that 50 bucks on a crap game already. They're waiting to take your money.

Oh my look at this someone who can't control his emotions. First no one ever said that that the Budokai games were even remotely close to being the best fighting games you brought that up for no reason. Next, was DBGT Final bout the Best selling Dragonall game of all time? No... Was DBZ : budokai the best selling dbz game of all time? yes ...hmmm wheres your proof of how much better DBGT Final Bout was then the Budokai games. My proofs in how many people played and own DBZ budokai wheres your proof. I bet if you asked 9/10 people would they buy DBZ : budokai for $20 or DBGT Final Bout for $15 i bet they'd say Budokai. Now i repeat you piss off until you can comeback with some solid proof and not some teenie bopper emotion opinion based argument then and only then can you debate with me about which game is better.

[Mr. Announcer]

You people are really pissy, y'know that? Okay, yes, there are facts and opinions. Most of us know from experience that DBZ games are bad, real bad. The Budoukai games were considered a big improvement because of the improved graphics and the fact that you could actually control your characters properly in these games. If you think Final Bout is a good game then that's perfectly fine. Things like crappy handling and bad camera angles however, go beyond mere opinion. I would agree when you say that the combos were more fun but the stiffness was just irritating. If you like it despite these things then that is also fine, that's the general nature of truly liking a game. I think Budoukai had alot of character and the makers attempted to stay very true to the series in its original form maybe apart from the voices. As a fighting game, you're right, it is nowhere near the level of the greats, but for little kids who just watch the cartoon and wanted a chance to fight using their favorite characters, it was sufficient. I would say that Atari is going overboard by creating 3 Budoukai games. They could have just taken more time and made it all one game (how unsure could they possibly be about its marketability?). I think you should actually be glad that we're getting any DBZ games at all these days since most of the original games weren't even imported since Dragonball wasn't in the US in those days. Final Bout was practically the only game available in the states.

Control emotions? Oh please. Spare me your 'witty' retorts. First off, I'm not the one confusing opinions and facts....you are, so before you start spouting garbage concerning statistics and facts at me, take a look at yourself.

Now let's take this sentecne by sentence shall we?

Budokai being a good fighting game is a fact I brought up. Everything in my post didn't revolve around you. Am I restricted to just retorting your 'clever' posts, or can I bring up new topics as well? Listen, ass, stop being so full of yourself and realize everyone's not paying attnetion to you. There's your topic and then there are others....deal with it. I brought up a new 'fact'...agree with it or disagree. Next sentence....here's the scenario....The Scoby-Doo movie actually sucked by the popular vote, yet it made tons of money when it came out. Does that mean it was good or bad? Once again, your misconceptions lead to a $*$*$*$*ty arguement. Here's something else you can look at...pointing out flaws is indeed a defense. Budokai was repetitive. Characters did the same attacks and the same combinations, just with different names. Original, no....crappy...yes. Also, your arguement is like saying because so many people like DBZ, it's the best anime out there....which it clearly isn't. Before you shove statistics in my face, make sure they are bendable like the ones you just gave me....it makes you look stupid. The rest of your arguement speaks of popular decision....popular=opinion in this case. Little kids watch DBZ/Pokemon/Other children shows....I guess that means they must be better than any other show then right? Dude...there's no arguement there. It's too opinionated, and holds no ground here. Try taking facts from both games and comparing then.
Maybe then you'll get somewhere....but maybe you won't.

Now i repeat

Repeat what?....Me? I didn't find you saying, 'piss off' in any of your posts.

comeback with some solid proof and not some teenie bopper emotion opinion based argument then and only then can you debate with me about which game is better.

Your solid proof really held its ground...really. Maybe your the one that needs to check their sources. I assume you own DBZ Budokai right? That's why you're so hung up on it....to make it seem your precious money was worth it?
Listen...why don't YOU comeback with some solid proof? The info you just gave me as 'facts' falls under opinion genius, either that or it's so versatile that it falls under a persons perception. ( Hint: Popular=Opinion).
Teenie bopper? Come on...you can do better than that? Oh wait...I forgot I'm talkjing to a guy that thinks opinions and facts are the same...my bad. Furthermore...you call this a debate? I now know what you're standards are conversation.discussion are....I feel so sorry for you. Also, the way you're posting...it seems you haven't mentioned any knowledge of DBGT: Final Bout as if you've actually played the game. I'll assume you didn't right? Talk about biased opinions. I've played both...and I say Final Bout is better. What are you gonna do about that? The gameplay of Budokai was horrible...Final Bout had an edge over it because it was more fun...it had more diversity in the battle...a factor that overwhelms Budokai in all ways. If a game is repetitive...it gets boring fast. In short...Budokai isn't as great as you claim it to be. Graphics/Presentation vs. Gameplay...I choose gameplay. We all know what you choose now don't we?

I'm sorry I'm so emotional ( as you claim, but whatever) ...I just can't deal with idiots...It's not my fault.

Whatever you say buddy...afterall, in your world opinions are the same thing, so then you must be right....

The links you've posted haven't proven anything...because as I've stated in several of my previous posts, reviews are opinions. Sp far, you've proven nothing except that you like Budokai and think that popular opinion makes it fact. You should just leave it alone, because not are you ignorant of what opinions/facts are, but you obviously have no experience except with Budokai. The only way you're able to rebut me is with unsupported opinions, including yours and others. Next time you wanna debate, make sure you know what it entails. Until then, keep your mouth shut.

Jman quit acting so foolish, 9/10 or 99/100...however many people think its better (which I do) it will never become a fact just a strong opinion.

Yes you can reserve the collectors edition of budokai 3. I read some of the stuff about budokai 3 over at gamespot they have some intresting concepts for this game. I really hope this one is good i'm not gonna lay down $50 for a half decent game like last year.

Yah know I think Dragonmode would have been great if it could be played as a vs. mode. Chibi Broli sounds funny...[/font][font=bold]

bk3 ??????????


remember that brown huge dinosaur that chases gohan ( dont remember? well you could look at him ,inthe opening of bk1)

I think he one of the character ,because in ign showed a screenshot of gohan fighting him !

[Dark Malik]

A dinosaur as a playable character.. that's strange. And I just went to ign and I don't see that screenshots(yes, I checked all three pages) Do you have a link to this screenshot you speak of?

Really its not a playable character. Think of the dinos as random battles like in FF. Fights that dont matter at all.

Whatever !
gamespot has over 71 screenshots!

www.gamespot.com/ps2

find budokai 3 and you will see the screenshots!

[Crazysilver03]

The dinosaur is not a playable character. It is just a random battle.

[Perfect Cell]

It is MORE than likely a triggered attack on that certain level, like the avalanche and red ribbon robot.

has any body look at the 71 confirmed screenshots!!!!!!

Anyone that want to see all ! pic budokai 3 screenshots index (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/dragonballzbudokai3/screenindex.html)

[Air SSj Trunks]

The title screen looks rough with Gogeta on it. But they need to get Frieza and Cell's mugs off of there. Its not that their annoying, it's just that they are being a little over-exposed, and we all know what happens to characters like that.

The screen shots look pretty rough too. Are they really going to put the beam struggle-analog stick thing back? I used to do that crazy foolishness back in B2 with my friends.

I may or may not get B3 because I was dissapointed with B2 (as far as story mode is concerned. The capsule system only contributes to the game in multiplayer mode).

[Dark Malik]

I agree about Frieza+Cell. It was repetitve fighting them throughout Budokai 2. Hopefully, Budokai 3 won't be the same

Yep, it appears that the analog-battle feature will be in the game too

The Dragon Mode was definitely the major con of Budokai 2. I'm worried Budokai 3 will have something similar to the Dragon Mode, or even more worse than the Dragon Mode. I'll read the reviews first. If the scores are good, I'll consider buying the game

[superman]

the dragon mode of b2 was alright! to me ,reason why ,you could continue fighting the same dude !

[Dark Malik]

the dragon mode of b2 was alright! to me ,reason why ,you could continue fighting the same dude !

It may have been good to you, but after playing for awhile, it tends to get very repetitive. That is one of the reasons why people hated the Dragon Mode. Another reason is that it does a horrible job at following the original storyline. Budokai 1 did a good job at following the story mode. Frieza+Cell were around for much too long. It was repetitive fighting them through Dragon Mode. There probably are more reasons for why Dragon Mode was hated so much

[superman]

any news on character 40?

[Dark Malik]

There's no news yet. Unless the 40th character turns out to be chibi Broly(who will be featured in the Limited Edition Budokai 3)

Edit: I just found another page with screenshots (http://dranet.com/?dranet=information&info=gameshots_budokai3_new4&title=Budokai%203%20Gallery) . There are pics of ssj4 Vegeta on the page too.

[Hemostrat]

And my luck the link doesn't work... -.-

[Dark Malik]

I just tried... that link was working earlier. Maybe the site is temporarily down.

Edit: Okay, NOW it's working, but now it's showing other screenshots instead of the ones that had ssj4 Vegeta in them... lemme try and find it

Edit 2: Okay, click on next page in that link. Scroll down, you'll see the ssj4 Vegeta pics.

[superman]

Well you guys is just 2 weeks and 2 days before for the release !

Ill try getting the special edition set!

any latest news that occur?

[ssj12]

I just recieved my issue of Shonen Jump December Edition. It has a list of some of the characters, one of their attacks and how to perform it. Here is the list: (<- left -> right)

Broly; Gigantic Press; ->PPP->PE

Goku; Dragon Fist; ->PPPKE

SS4 Goku; 10X Kamahamaha; ->KPPPE

Gogeta; Soul Strike; KK->KKE

Vegeta; Big Bang Attack; P+K+G+E (only in hyper mode)

Future Trunks; Finish Buster; P->PPE

Kid Trunks; Final Cannon; KK->K->KE

Krillin; Destructo Disk; PP<-PPE

Piccolo; Light Gernade; ->KPP<-PE

Majin Buu; Innocence Express; PP->KKKE

Super Buu; Ill Ball Attack; KK->K->PPE

Kid Buu; Vanishing Ball; P->PPPPE

Kid Gohan; Masenko; ->PPPPE

Adult Gohan; Soaring Dragon Strike; ->PPPKE

Capt. Ginyu; Milky Cannon; ->KPPPE

Cooler; Sauzer Blade; P->PPE

Dabura; Evil Blast; KKK->KE

Goten; Charge; KK->K->KE

Gt. Saiyamam; Justice Kick; ->KKKE

Supreme Kai; Supernatural Abilities; ->P->PPPE

and finally

Videl; Hawk Arrow; KKKE

[Dark Malik]

I want to try out Goku's Dragon Fist, ssj4 Goku's 10x Kamehameha, and Gogeta's Soul Strike. Too bad there's no more majin Vegeta. I liked his Final Explosion technique(I think that was the name. It was the most powerful move of Budokai 2) Vegeta has a hyper mode? I guess I'll figure out what that is soon enough. Good none of the moves are difficult to perform

[KWilson25j]

Would it have Goku Jr.? Or is that to far ahead of the game still???

[Card Slinger J]

It'd be nice If Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. were in Budokai 3 but it's unlikely though, same with Pan as well.

Does anyone know If SSJ4 Gogeta will be in Budokai 3?

SSJ Gogeta IS there...red hair and all.

[Dark Malik]

Would it have Goku Jr.? Or is that to far ahead of the game still???

Nope, Goku jr. isn't in the game. Just think of kid Goku as a Goku jr. with the ability to tranform into ssj2, ssj3 and ssj4

[Air SSj Trunks]

Holy Krabby Patties!!! :eek: Chibi Goku can turn SSj3 and 4?! Dude, this is going to rock. I used Gotenks (who is around the same size as Goku and similar fighting style) to beat anyone repeatedly with victory cannon in b2. I hope Chibi-Goku has an' attack much like it :D

[Dark Malik]

Well, I know only kid Goku can go ssj4. I just assumed that since he could go ssj3 in GT, then he should be able to do it in Budokai 3(I really don't know if he can go ssj3 in Budokai 3, but it'd make sense if he could) Yep, Victory Cannon was very powerful. I used it to defeat Super Buu

[YuGiOhwns]

Im lookin forward to gettin this, tho im barely done having fun with B'sF...anyway...are there "what ifs" in this one?

[Dark Malik]

What ifs? Like "what if Gohan could go ssj4?"

[YuGiOhwns]

yeah....you dont remember them from the previous games? im just reading up and catching up on all the stuff in this and its a lot more impressive than i thought....i think ima have to go preorder that collectors edition....looks like some good stuff.

[Dark Malik]

No, I don't remember any of it. Unless for Budokai, it was something like, "what if Goku could go ssj3" and in Budokai 2, it was "what if Goku can go ssj4". The Collector's Edition will have chibi Broly, so yeah, it's a good pick. I'd go with the Collector's Edition too

[Jmanunknown]

I'll refresh your memory I can't remember the Budokai what if's but, I do remember the the Budokai 2 what if's. Theres what if super buu absorbed Vegeta and what if Tien and Yamcha fused and what if Goku and Hercule fused etc. Also Chibi Broly is an action figure thats coming with the Collector's Edition of the game he will not be a playable character in the game.

[Dark Malik]

Oh! Now I see. Well, maybe there might be a fusion between Vegeta+Trunks. Or there could be an adult Gotenks. Damn, I didn't read up on the Collector's Edition well enough(I read it from the site I posted on this thread. It was many pages ago) When it mentioned chibi Broly, I thought it meant chibi Broly would be playable(then again, it did seem strange that chibi Broly would be a playable character in the Collector's Edition, yet he wouldn't be playable in the normal version)

[NarutoKun128]

I was looking at my new Shonen Jump issue (#24) and it had some commands for characters in Budokai 3, so I thought you all would like to know some moves:

Broly - Gigantic Press: ->PPP->PE
Goku - Dragon Fist: ->PPPKE
SS4 Goku - 10x Kamehameha: ->KPPPE
Gogeta - Soul Strike: KK->KKE
Vegeta - Big Bang Attack: P+K+G+E (in hyper mode)

I already posted that last month.

[NarutoKun128]

I already posted that last month. >.> ack! Didn't see that. Man, I must be blind as hell. Sorry about that.

[YuGiOhwns]

No, I don't remember any of it. Unless for Budokai, it was something like, "what if Goku could go ssj3" and in Budokai 2, it was "what if Goku can go ssj4". The Collector's Edition will have chibi Broly, so yeah, it's a good pick. I'd go with the Collector's Edition too

word.....not to mention the dvd that comes with it too...thats pretty sweet as well. i like that they threw in Chibi Broly too. :D

[Dark Malik]

Well, I though chibi Broly would be a playable character, not an action figure. Btw, what DVD is coming with it? It wouldn't happen to be "Bojack's Unbound" would it? Since it has ssj2Gohan in it, it's definitely a movie I must see. I know it's highly unlikely that Bojack's Unbound is the DVD that's included with the game, but one can only hope

Edit: Well, just figured out the DVD. It's a bonus DVD features Behind The Scenes documentary+a super trailer video of Budokai 3. Wow, and I thought it was Bojack's Unbound... well still seems interesting

[BurningChaos]

I saw broly unbound and it's not that great and i don't think it'll be the bonus dvd. The bonus dvd is going to be loaded with behind the scenes, bios, and some previews.
As for the dinosaur being a fightable or playable character...he's none, all the dinosaur is in the game is a stage pitfall, like when you get knocked through mountains and stuff....I heard character wise they are using characters from dbz all the way up to dbgt but i'm not sure about goku jr...but if you look at the intro for the game it shows almost all the characters that are included.

[YuGiOhwns]

the dvd is a behind the scenes kinda thing from what ive read....background on developing, voice actors, etc....should be cool!

[Card Slinger J]

Budokai 3 looks very promising, and Atari put alot of hard work and details into this game to satisfy the DBZ enthusiast in any way imaginable.

It doesn't come on in stores until Nov. 16th but it'll be worth the wait, that's for sure. If I were Akira Toriyama right now I'd check into this game, I bet it would make him proud in some way.

I'm definitely gonna buy this game, and I can't wait to play it either. I think this game is gonna blow all the other DBZ video games out of the water, especially DBGT Final Bout and Buu's Fury to say the least.

I kinda thought it would be cool if Budokai 3 came with a never before seen DBGT TCG promo card. I know it isn't gonna happen, but I can dream can't I? :D

[KWilson25j]

I'm still playing 1 and 2 just to try to become better and quicker in pulling off moves. And my friend just likes the explosions. 3 will definatly top the list of best DGZ games, and top my Christmas List if I somehow dont have enough money saved up.

[Jmanunknown]

Budokai 3's Release date is now November 23rd not November 16th. I don't know why they moved it a week back.

[NarutoKun128]

Budokai 3's Release date is now November 23rd not November 16th. I don't know why they moved it a week back. Wasn't it always November 23? All the ads I've seen say so.

[Jmanunknown]

Wasn't it always November 23? All the ads I've seen say so.



No the original release date was November 16th but, for some reason the release date was moved to the 23rd. It can't be because the game isn't finished because, they said the game was done about 2 weeks ago.

[superman]

that not matter ,

I Already reserved the limited edition .I could wait!

[YuGiOhwns]

not sure about all that actually....the release date on gamespot still says the 16th and they're usually pretty up to date. you are talking about the US release, right?

anyway....good thing to preorder i think...apparently they are actually expecting to run short of limited edition games so i just didnt wanna deal with that and reserved it. boom bang.

[zarf]

hmm... last time i check Gamespot it was on the 23rd

[Dark Malik]

I haven't reserved the game. I'm going to miss out on the Collector's Edition of Budokai 3 since I'm picking it up late(like Christmas)

[YuGiOhwns]

heres the gamespot page...still says the 16th....is this wrong?

gamespot page (http://www.gamespot.com/finder/findgames.html)


sorry to hear that you wont be getting the collectors edition....thats lame....but i guess you could check to see if there are any more available when you do get it..eh?

[Dark Malik]

Yeah, hopefully there are still Collector's Edition copies left. I would get the game when it comes out, but I've already decided to get Snake Eater. Well, there was never anything said about the Collector's Edition being a limited edition game, right?

[zarf]

heres the gamespot page...still says the 16th....is this wrong?

oh i guess they changed it lol

[ssj12]

I just watched the commercial it said that the game will be released until Nov. 23

[Card Slinger J]

Yeah I saw it too.

I still think it'll be worth the wait.

[Xssj2GohanX]

AWESOME Budokai 3 review posted over at Gamespot. Simply awesome. They actually dignify B3 as the greatest dbz game ever AS WELL AS(perhaps more significant), they say that it is a good fighting game that non-dbz fans would also want to play. Here's the link....READ it. You'll be impressed with their review: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/dragonballzbudokai3/review.html

[Dark Malik]

That review is pretty convincing. The new Hyper Mode is definitely interesting. I can't wait to get the game+try it out. Good to see that B3 isn't just another B2

[Jmanunknown]

I'm surprised this may be the biggest surprise for me in awhile Budokai 3 actually got a good review. Looks like i'll be getting this game no doubt about it. I just cheked online and Budokai 3 the regular version is on backorder at both ebgames and gamestop. The collectors editon isn't.

[zarf]

I just watched the commercial it said that the game will be released until Nov. 23
hmm my sam goody said they'd release it today

[YuGiOhwns]

wow...i feel like all we've done is talked about release dates for the last week...hahah. did anyone who preordered get it yet? whats the scoop on the extras?

[Neo Enigma]

Hey, I don't know if anyone is still posting in this thread or not or have posted any of their thoughts so far on the game but I thought I would share some of mine. On Dragon Universe anyways. All right. This mode was leaving much to be desired while not entirely bad. You do get to fly but only land in certain spots. And when you land there, you can't explore or destroy anything you want (which would have been nice) but just fight regular VS battles or talk to people. A lot of you may have expected that but even after reading previews and such on it I still expected DU to be more interactive. I just got on so I have only gotten to Frieza so far. But it's just fly to the little red dot, fight, gain points/level up, then fly to the next red dot. And some dialogue in there. As an RPG fan (Not FF type though, more like the recent XMen Legends) I expected more out of DU but wasn't pleased. Now the fighting engine HAS improved. I do like the changes made on it. Hyper Mode and Dragon Rush are good sources of eye candy, the teleportation system gives it more of a DBZ feel and of course the characters and backgrounds are as beautiful as ever. So far I just have a beef with the DU mode which I expected a lot more out of. I haven't been to GT yet so I haven't unlocked any GT or movie characters and no I don't know anything you couldn't have found out by reading other posts or reviews. If you're not an RPGer and just like flying around (hyper speed IS an option) and fighting battles, then this is just the thing for you. But if you want more interactive enviroments, dialogue, places to roam and explore on and off ground, and spend hours upon hours unlocking things and destroying what you can then you will not be satisfied. I can't give it a rating until I finish the game though. Thanks.

[Ljmon03_666]

to be fair Neo Enigma it is a fighting game and not a rpg so i dont know why you were expecting anything else.

"AWESOME Budokai 3 review posted over at Gamespot. Simply awesome.

Here's the link....READ it. You'll be impressed with their review: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/...ai3/review.html"

No doubt man, imagine my shock and amazement when I read that....I mean it's almost to good to be true. A Budokai game that actually gets an 8.5 and is called "great" and "fun to play", I couldn't believe it. Gamespot for the first time ever, actually respects Budokai as a "real" fighter that can actually stand on it's own without just being strictly fan candy. I admit, I had my doubts about this game considering the last two ( especially the second one ), okay I had tremendous doubts. But after seeing how they rated the game, all that has just been wiped away profoundly. I am very excited to see a DBZ game taken to with tender loving care, it's finally made a true winner for the first time ever. If Gamespot gave it a rating like that, that means it'll just be oodles and oodles better to the fans. It's like something you've always wanted to see but never thought it would actually happen. Who would've thought Dimps and Atari would have come out of a bag on everyone like that, they actually took into account the fans complaints and strive to improve them. From what I've seen, they've actually managed to impress me quite a bit, I will be looking forward to this 3rd entry with a reassured confidence.

Unbelievable......'tis a grand day peeps, 'tis a grand day indeed. PEACE!!

[superman]

Has anyone bought it yet !

[Dark Malik]

superman: *points towards Neo Enigma's post on the previous page*

[Neo Enigma]

to be fair Neo Enigma it is a fighting game and not a rpg so i dont know why you were expecting anything else.

I'm aware of it being a fighting game but I was expecting a fighting/rpg game. That's how a lot of reviews made Dragon Universe out to be and it's not. Anyone would have to admit that they would much rather prefer an RPG element (Not like FF) in Dragon Universe. Any real DBZ fan, anyways. Actually taking the place of the proper DBZ fighters at the time, able to explore levels and other planets and unlock things along the way. Meet different people/fighters/etc and have training sessions that way instead of the "Practice" and "Training" modes they have in all the DBZBudokai games. Interactive enviroments that convince me I am in the Dragonball Universe. When I am playing and decide to power up, I want gravity to affect the ground around me, I want to create craters, I want to be able to blast any and everything in the universe and reduce it to rubble or maybe even destroy planets or cities. I want THAT type of interactive enviroment. That's what I keep asking out of these DBZ games but never get it. I buy it, nevertheless, because I am a DBZ fan and enjoy the new fghting system. The powering up effect is tweaked up, more true to the anime. Hyper Mode is cool but could have been better if the Dragon Rush had more various attacks. And is it just me or does the CPU always know what buttons to push to defend against the Dragon Rush? Maybe I'm just unlucky. I just beat Majin Vegeta so I am getting deeper into the game. Some of the dialogue on here is just ridiculous too. Look out for that if you even bother with it. Transformations make good eye candy but then again I havent seen anything past SSJ2. Oh yeah, Frieza powered up looked hilarious. Cool though, I suppose. I don't guess everyone shares my opinion of what a DBZ game should be like and that's okay, everyone is entitled to their own. All I know is almost every DBZ game (save for some on GBA and Super Famicom) are fighting games so I would like something more RPGish. Yes I am aware of the games coming up within the years but I dont want to wait. Well Later peeps, back to the game! And Hey, when anyone finds out when Codebreaker.com is going to post the cheats for this game, please let me know. Thanks.

[YuGiOhwns]

it all sounds pretty cool to me actually...i should have my copy by this weekend if i can make it out to the store. just busy, thats all. btw...the reviews ive read on this have been great so far. i dont see where i could go wrong.
