Exciting but with little staying power

User Rating: 6.5 | Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 PS2
This game is realy fun to play for about a week, then you get put off by the repetition of the special moves and the uniformity of the gameplay for all the characters. The strengths of the game are it's fast paced, flashy, over the top gameplay, the large amount of selectable characters, the story line tie-ins to the DBall animated series, and the cool anime style of the graphics. the main weakness lies in the shallow fighting system. It's very easy to learn but offers little beyond trying to get off your attack first and winning the rock/paper/scissors element to pull off you're special moves. Great rental for any anime fighting fan.
