The game still holds great quality still after so many years
The bad:
They did not add anything to the game, one could argue that is a good or a bad thing. But this game did not have online mode 8 years ago. They could have added it since this game is very competitive and could have been a great feature for the game. Also The first Budokai game shows clearly it has it struggles as a fighting game, but it is a nice addition to the HD version and it gives you a different feel then the third game.
It might be hard for new users of this game to unlock everything asnd might use guides to unlock all characters and modes
The Good:
Everything is good about the game, that was good 8 years ago. Everything about Budokai 3 has aged very well and is still one of the best fighters there are this millenium.
The game also aged very well, with graphics that looked sharp on the ps2, look even sharper now. But the graphics is something that has aged really well and has not required the most attention i believe.
The basic combat is also very solid, and can still compete with games that are made today. That is saying something about how good this game still is. The teleportation and ki managment makes the game more tactical. Button mashing won't help you at all when playing this game
Audio in this game is also really sharp, and is one of the best aspects of the games. There is something very satifying doing punches and getting the sound for that. Also the rest of the ultamate attacks are still very well done.
The game might be a little harder for newcomers to enjoy, but the story doesn't take a whole lot of time if you want to get to know the story of Dragonball Z.
If you want a solid fighter that still is great today, then get this game. It's such a great fighteing game
