I'am not a great DBZ fan I was a while ago though. I played boutoudon 1,2,3 for SNES. At that time they where really great, one of the best thing is that is not all bout beating only. It involves tactics, when how do I use the energy or not use em? I really loved those games, that is why I bought Budokai, at first I was a bit dissapointed to be honnest, not about graphics or the chars that I didt not have. It was just the interface it didt not match with boutoudon at all. But once I got a bit familiar with them the game turned out to be quite good. Ok ok there are a few things I would rather have seen different. But hey no game is perfect right?

I was lucky enough to actually play budokai recently, and I was genuinely suprised at how above average it is. I use 'above average' rather than good because, although this game is good, there is still a lot of work to be put in before they get it right. Anybody who has played the average/poor effort of bandai's Dragonball GT Final bout, will be pleased to hear this is a lot better. This is mainly because the game is faster. GT looked ok, but it lacked that essential Dragonball fighting speed that we so badly need. So, the speed then, as we have established, is there. The graphics are ok, but are not great, they certainly dont push the PS2 for power.Also in the budokai mode,

Okay, lets get this over with, i love this game more than all the other dbz games out there, as it just appeals to me and looks like that after this game it just went a bit off, even though the other games are great.Right, well, the story mode covers the story from the Saiyan Saga to the cell games saga (if you're a dbz fan you know what you're getting), and it is actually a really good story mode. I have a bit of a gripe that the audio is in japanese, but you can just import a american copy of this game. the thing i REALLY love about this game are the cut scenes. now, you may be thinking "Cutscenes aren't that impressive" but, if you look at all the other games'

Although this game is a beat'em up, it is nothing along the lines of tekken or MK. Coming from the point of view of a person who has never experienced the DBZ phenomenon, i would say this beatemup was a nice experience - there is a lot of skill and timing involved which may appeal to some and not others. The action is non stop, and there are some seriously juicy moves at your disposal, most of which have a nice little animation. Including the ability to kick people into mountains and blow them up is a nice touch too.Coming from the point of view of a DBZ fan, there are mixed feelings. I think they made the game perfectly, IF they were intending on making a sequel. Not including Buu was a big dissapointment,

This is without a doubt the best DBZ game ever made. When I had Dragonball GT: Final Bout on the PS1 I loved that game to bits because they captured the characters perfectly, but the thing lacking in the game was a solid story mode which is Dragonball Z: Budokai's strong point. The Story mode in Budokai is excellent. It is just like if you really are watching Dragonball Z on Television and you are taking part in it. The Saiyan, Namek and Android Saga's are very detailed in the game and follows the same storyline as the Television Series. The graphics are very detailed and the surroundings are like those in the TV Series Saga's.Other modes included in the game are the World Tournament Mode,

When i first bought the game i was not sure what to expect, because this was the first one for the PS2. The other dragon ball games were only okay, and I found were rather hard to handle (e.g. doing a kamehameha) with this game the controls are very simple and the levels are much greater. There is a selection of 22 different characters ranging from future trunks to captain ginyu.To turn into a super saiyan is very simple all you need is the l1 and l2 buttons.The shopping mode is fun allowing you to purchase moves and supportr techniques.All the characters have a wide range of moves and a choice of 2 different costumes.The only problem i find with this game is that it only takes you to the end of the cell saga,

...This game looks good to the dragon ball Z fan who wants a game to simulate the fighting in the series, but sadly the games graphics, although attractive and similar to the cartoon, look rather odd in 3d and look sort of old fashioned.This game has loads of different modes and you can even be Mr. satan (herkule) most characters can transform into a different state of fighting eg. goku - who initially begins as normal, then goes into kaioken x2 x5 then x10, then super saiying 1 + 2. To do these you need a certain amount of energy and if you go below this energy you revert back to the previous form.in conclusion - beat em up wise - it will be quite poor compared to the more famous titles (tekken,

this is by far the best DBZ game yet! the graphics are brill and the game play is amazing. i first thought you could only be teenage gohan but it turns out you can be the great saiyaman too! once story mode is done there isnt much left to do, but you can have loads of fun cracking the levels in world match (thats how you unlock the great saiyaman and the mr saten mode!) after that you can spend loads of time buying skills to make the perfect warrior which i think is great! the only bad thing is that story mode is easy and takes about 2 hours. this game is better than tekken and other street combat games. the moves are also really realistic which makes it so much like the actual cartoon.

I can't say that I have any problem with this game what so ever! Oh and by the way I happened to grab an english version of this game in the United States! The story line and fighting sequences went together hand in hand with the series. though I have already beaten this game time and time again I do still come back to it. I have no need for any other video games any more. If I did have to say something bad about this game I would have to say that the combo moves are a bit difficult to perform, let alone memorize. A true gamer wouldn't complain though, because this helps to exercise memory within the mind, and also gives the gamer better timing and cordination. As a fellow gamer I seriously do recommend buying this game,

I like everything about this game!The Duel is really fun to do,you can fight as 1P vs 2P and more.Duel takes a little bit of time to load,and it's the same with practice. I really like how they made it so the characters speak i Japanese with English subtitles because that's how I prefer anime.The story,is magnificent,it goes from the Saiyan saga to the Android Saga!You can play as 23 different characters!There is also the World Tournament,which you can compete in to get cash to spend on skills.I recommend this to any Dragon Ball Z fan who has a PS2.

I'd previously played all of the other Dragonball Z games before playing this original, from Budokai 2-3 to Budokai Tenkaichi 1-3 and Burst Limit and Raging Blast. Even still to complete my collection i thought i'd buy the original, despite being very dated, the game still proved entertaining enough for the franchise. adding what the others did not keep to such depth; the cinematics; the cinematics were dated yet very well done, making this game very short and sweet. Delivery on this product was superb, came within 2-3 days of dispatch.

I cant believe DBZ is finaly out on the PS2.I havent played this game yet. But have seen clips and pictures.All i can say is this game looks great and as a fan have already ordered it. So for all you fans out there who are thinking whether or not to buy it. I say go for it. You know you're only gonna regret it later if you dont.Oh and for those of you that dont know what Budokai means im pretty sure it means Tournament.

I think this game is the best game ever! I need only 10 captuls and it is still good. Vegeta is the best of them all, Multiplayer is the better bit. I have heard about dragonballz budokai 2. I am looking forward to it, it has better backgrounds, characters, grapics and better moves. The characters include KID BUU! and hopefully Super saiyan 3 Goku!

When i first played this game i felt a little costricted about the number of initial characters but once id been on the game for a short time this all change and i found the game a rather enjoyable experience. This game could keep you occupied for hours on end with things to unlock and buy. Id recomend his game to any manga or animie fan.

I was waiting for DragonBall Z to be on PS2 for a long time.Although I can not watch it anymore the game is amazing it's a very good game I think people who like fighting games should claim this game now!
