A match made for DBZ fans.

User Rating: 8 | Dragon Ball Z: Budokai PS2
Let me just get this out of the way.This game IS AWESOME.It'll be able to appeal to both die-hard fans of the anime AND fighting game fanatics like myself.It has awesome gameplay,a story quite accurate to the anime,and many fun characters to learn how to use.LET US REVIEW

Graphics:6.5-Graphics are not that bad,but nothing too special and some environments are kinda bland.

Gameplay:8.5-It's awesome the gameplay,You got the story mode where you go through the big moments of 3 sagas from the anime (Saiyan,Namek,Android).You got the classic duel mode with 23 characters from the series.And then there's World Tournament where you go through,well a tournament to earn money in 3 different difficulties.and there's also training and buying capsules,but that ain't anything too special.The one biggest flaw is how big the difficulty spike is for the CPU,it took me 5 tries to beat Frieza as Super Saiyan Goku!But if you can overcome that,this game is right for you.Overall,this game offers more than you think

Sound:7-Pretty cool music,and well the voice acting sucks as usual.hey?what'd you expect,it's american voice actors.OF COURSE IT'LL SUCK

Presentation:8-At first glance this may look like your traditional fighting game with DBZ characters,BUT it offers an epic story,classic duel mode,a tournament mode (did I mention it's 2-player?),and buying stuff!

Story:9.9-You already heard me say a bunch of times that the story is awesome.It follows the first 3 sagas of the anime.What I'm really impressed about is how accurate it is compared to *AHEM* the cool but alienating DB:Raging Blast (the games cool,but not quite accurate).

Lasting Appeal:8-The story won't take long,but you'll be having a blast in duel mode and World Tournament (and the special "Legend of Hercule" mode after beating Adept (normal) in tournament mode.)

SO BUY THIS!
