Video Game Reviews of Dragonball Z Shin Budokai

Customer Review: great fun
Summary: 5 Stars

this game is fun just like shin budokai another road but another road is better but this game is fun to i still play this even though i have dbz another road i can still play this one. The story mode in here was good but it was really a movie and a little short but it was great. Nice grapic to in both of the shin buodaki's.

Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars

It provided me countless hours/days of fun. I first went through dragon road mostly getting by the battles by sheer luck, but after the first few I actually had to know what I was doing. It was a bit harder with the switching of characters, but specials did it for me. After I finished it, I decided to get Zs on the battles which gave me more countless hours of fun.

I tried out survival and the time one as well. Survival is easy, but gets harder torward the 20/30s. I had to be cheap and use insane specials to get past most of them. Time attack is more fun and less worrying...in a way. Almost the same as survival, but I find it to be more fun.

There's training which is definitely useful for trying out those new moves you learned off the internet and friends.

The shop is cool, but not really that interesting. It has wallpapers and these icons. There's quite a few of them, but useless for me.

I think that's about it. Dragon road, survival, time attack, and this mission thing. This is a game you'll come back to for fun, but after you basically master the game, you won't be spending days in your room playing it. You'll pick it up every now and then when your bored and beat some guys up. It has amazing graphics and the combat system is interesting.

Overall, this is truly a great fighting game. Tons of hours will be spent into this game unless you have played some other DBZ games. Beating up people is just too addicting in this game.

Customer Review: More of the same
Summary: 4 Stars

If you have played a Dragonball Z Budokai game before, then you know what to expect- it's very similiar to the ones on PS2. Like all DBZ games, there is no tutorial mode, so get ready for a few frustrating battles with the computer trying to figure out combos and such. Unfortunately, playing for a while can induce some serious hand cramps, because of the size and layout of the PSP. On a positive note, it's very fast paced, and the graphics are gorgeous. There are plenty of characters to play as, with some unusual ones (like Janemba and Broly) in addition to the normal set (Vegeta, Goku etc...). I would not recommend this game for anyone who isn't a fan of DBZ already. If you love DBZ like I do, then you should enjoy this game.

Customer Review: From someone who knows nothing about DBZ
Summary: 3 Stars

Overall I like the concept of DBZ though I've never had the patience to watch an entire episode.

As far as the game is concerned:

Pros:
- Game is responsive and fight mechanics are well implemented.
- Visuals are as good as I've seen them on Budokai 3 on the PS2.

Cons:
- In the "quest" mode- which is essentially a string of fights punctuated by chatter between characters, unless you are a DBZ fan, it makes no sense whatsoever. So I ended up just clicking X until the lengthy dialog was over so I can resume fighting.

If you're a fan of the show then this game's great.
