Hype, for this? o-O It's just the next fix for the DB kiddies, this time with content from the movies and a next DB game is already on it's way to Xbox and PS2.
I love DBZ to death, it was one of the first animes I seriously got into and I'm still a fan. Those games are just a dull insult to me in this day and age. I'm sick of these stupid little fighters that aren't even good. Give me a call when they really decide do something cool with the DB universe, like let you play as your own Saiyan in a more serious action adventure type of game more in the tone of the japanese version of the show.
Actually I've read a few things about this game that seems actually good (even though I hated the first two). It seems that you can teleport behind enemies to string up more combos, a new dodge feature, something called dragon lash where you hit buttons to proceed a cut scene of fights, beam struggles now, and the main mode is like Legacy of Goku where you fly around on earth to foward the story.

no DBZ fans here ?
what a shame...
Dude, I'm amped about Budokai 3! Watching that video you linked to, the pyrotechnics look outta control... Like when Goku goes from normal to Super Saiyan 2, it's like BOOM! I can't even imagine how Super Saiyan 3 and 4 look; Especially if the effects get more intense, the more powerful the transformation is.
The attack and defense cut-scenes are just plain awesome! They totally add that cinematic flair the series is known for. I just wish I knew how the system works... It's confusing trying to guess just based on watching clips. Guess I'll just have to see for myself when the game comes out.
Either way, this game is on my most wanted list. I can't wait!

Define "good," because no matter how badly you want to slag it, Budokai is not bad.MetatronM said:
I fail to see why Budokai catches all the hate. It succeeds in trying to be what it's trying to be. Honestly, what more could you expect of the game? Even as a huge DBZ fan - as if the avatar isn't a hint - there are really only three "flaws" I could find with the series:
a) There is no free flying
b) Weak characters can beat extremely powerful ones
c) You cannot duck or jump
Any my two cents:
a) I know it isn't perfect, but the collision detection is pretty darn accurate. If characters could be literally all over the place, I think it'd be pretty shoddy.
b) It's a fighter, and fighters need balance. That's just the way the universe works.
c) I don't see how this "hurts" the gameplay, seriously.
All that said, I suppose now I just wait for some troll to take a pot-shot.
As a fighting game on its own, Budokai would SUCK. Extremely basic game play where all the fighters are essentially the same. YAWN.
However, what Budokai has done right is to make good use of the license; the look and feel of the fights is very much like that of the manga/anime.
I do wish Budokai 3 was changed to play like Super Sonic Warriors though. It and Hyper Dimension are by far the best DBZ fighting games.
And while unrelated, yeah, the Naruto games really are much better both in terms of gameplay and use of the license.

I'm thinking of picking up that second naruto PS2 game, I've got a jap PS2 that I barely use aside from Super Galdelic hour once a month...
Budokai isn't honestly that terrible. The first one had a cool single player mode but fell apart in 2 player whereas the second one cleaned almost everything up EXCEPT the single player portion which was really bad. Supersonic warriors fighting worked pretty good but what the series needs is better balance. I realize even in the show/manga that almost all of the attacks used are the same from character to character until the buu saga but I'd like to have a real reason to use Goku over Vegeta or adult trunks.

I still find DBZ fairly enjoyable (though not even remotely as much as I used to in my younger days), and I own Budokai. And really, it's not that great. Pretty thoroughly mediocre at best, I would say. It's not quite as bad as its reputation, but it's not very good either.TheDiave said:
