IT'S OLD!

User Rating: 6.7 | Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi PS2
Bandai and Atari have consistently shown that they're dedicated to making their annual line of Dragon Ball Z games better than the titles that have come before them. Year after year, the team has carefully listened to fans and critics alike and addressed concerns and complaints to make a much more playable product. This year continues that trend with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, the fourth straight fighter to follow Goku and friends in their search for the mythical Dragon Balls.

Of course, one of the reasons that the game is better this year compared to last is because the production team has been switched out to keep things fresh. No longer developed by Dimps, the latest DBZ foray is handled by the action and grappling experts at Spike (Crimson Tears, King of Colosseum, and Fire Pro Wrestling). This means that while there are definite similarities in the mechanics and design, this Budokai is noticeably different than the ones we've had before.
