DBZ B3 is great because it is a ton of fun and it is simple to pick up and enjoy. The characters controls are all the same (eventhough action animations are all different) so it is very simple to pick up new characters from the huge available list and just go to town. Its just fun- strategicly speaking, certain characters have certain strengths, some have more effective attacks and resource management than others, but if you want a fighter that you are just gonna have fun with---pick it up! Not being a DBZ fan isnt that important- but it is helpful to know at least a bit about the show.

The best DBZ game yet

This game is great, it's the best DBZ yet... I have played almost every DBZ game that has come out, including GT Final Bout, Budokai, Budokai 3, Tenkaichi, Tenkaichi 2, and Super Dragon Ball... and I came to the conclusion that Budokai 3 it's the best for several reazons: first of all the graphics are good, it may look a little squared sometimes but as it is in a "2D" format you won't notice it; second, the controls are easy, you learn them fast and allow you a large number of combos and combinations; the amount of characters avaliable is perfect, there are 40 characters and 50 transformations, which is mora than eough to give you from where to choose and not too large to overwhelm you.
The story mode does skip some potentially good fights but it allows you to play the fights exactly as they looked in the series, not as in the Tenkaichi 2 game, where you get to read the results of the fights.
The fact that you can customize your characters gives you a lot of freedom and a sense of pride with any character you play.
The introduction of Dragon Rush and the rock,scissors,paper game was perfect, not allowing too experiences players to completely decimate amateurs without a fighting chance (and they look great), even though they are repetitive they won't annoy you (unless you are a pure "I play wihtout emotional crap" kind of player.
And yes, it is possible to learn how the computer fights and acquire a strategy to win every time, but in which fighting game isn't it?, the great thing about this game is the 1p against 2p mode anyway.
The game is great, buy it, it's a must have for any DBZ fan and even others.

For the record, I'm not a kid, I'm simply posting under this status because I'm too busy to register at the moment. Anyway, the point of this post is a warning to all of you about Amazon and how it's selling Budokai 3. If this site ever happens to sport the cover of the "Greatest Hits" version, then Amazon is false advertising. They don't have the GH version to sell and they'll simply send a copy of the original November 2004 release instead. Read all about this business here: [...]

Here's a fantastic editorial detailing everything you need to know about the Greatest Hits version of the game: [...]

As you can tell, it's obviously an upgraded version, containing many different and new elements. In a sense, it's an entirely different game. Don't order Budokai 3 from Amazon if you're expecting the Greatest Hits release, you'll only get shafted with the original. You've all been warned.

Much Better than Number Two

Okay Dragon Ball Z has made a few good games over the past few years, this is another one of them, Budokia 3 naturally improves the 2-d fighting with, making everyones move diffrent in there own way, puts in new characters, and gives you a great mode call Dragon Universe. The graphic are comicy and cartoony just like theshow and the game engine not bad, I did wish that maybe there be a little more characters, and that they put real cut scenes instead of diolauge with the picture but overall I loved it and found it to be quite addicting.

Well Designed Fighting Game

Dragon Ball Z - Budokai 3 follows in the footsteps of games 1 and 2. Part fighting game, part story mode RPG, you get to fully involve yourself in the Dragon Ball Z universe.

There is a huge number of characters available here, both major and minor. There's a large world that you can fly around completely freely, as compared with the previous versions that stuck you on a set board.

The graphics are cel shaded very distinctly "cartoony" main characters against a more gentle painted background / landscape. The animations are smooth and in keeping with the series style.

The music is a bit tinny - I think they could have done better and still been true to the series - but since many fighting games have completely atrocious music, I can't criticize that too much.

Of course we can say that Dragon Ball Z fans will love this game, and play it for years and years without stopping. It's impressive that this game even holds up very well for people who have never seen Dragon Ball Z. You learn about the game world as you go, and have great fun fighting.

Once you unlock all the characters and battlefields, there's still more customization to do and skills to perfect. It really is a game that you can replay for months.

Well Recommended.

I got this game just about a week ago, and it was so awsome! I have a tip: to unlock #16, first beat Krillin's Dragon Universe Mode once. Then do it again, and at one point in the Namek saga there'll be 2 red dots on your map. Go to the one to the right and you'll have a conversation with Captain Ginyu/Frog. Proceed through Story Mode as usual. After the Namek saga, you'll discover that you can now play the Android saga! Go to Earth's southernmost chain of islands until you find the plains. Go there and you'll have a conversation with Trunks and #16. Fly to west city and you'll speak with Bulma. After the speech is over, you get #16! I don't see anything wrong with this game, except this: I CAN'T USE ANY SKILLS! I SET THEM IN MY TRAY BUT I CAN'T USE THEM! WHY!? WHY!? Overall, this is a very good game. I'm glad to be able to do something than fight all the time, flying around in Dragon Universe is fun!

Best of the Budokai series.

I think that Budokai 3 is by far the best game in the budokai series for PS2. The one-player story mode is excellent. After being subjected to B2's horrid board-game-style story mode, B3's was a refreshing improvement. I liked the fact that you're able to freely fly around the overworld map and search for dragonballs, capsules, and fights. The events are different depending on where you are and who you are playing, staying very true to the series. Furthermore, B3 has added a really great leveling-up system which allows you to customize your characters as you fight and gain experience. This keeps the game interesting and replayable.

The gameplay itself is quite enjoyable. The controls are similar to the previous game's, with the addition of some new moves and flexibility. While not complete, the character list is still good, even bringing in some characters from the movies and GT. The graphics are clean and bright, with cel-shaded characters and nice-looking animations. The camera angles are logical and appealing. My only complaints: a longer character list would have been nice, and I also would have liked the option of having the Japanese voices. Overall, B3's a really great fighting game, particularly if you're a fan of DBZ.

best dbz fighting game

The first 2 budokai games are failures once 3 came out. It has twice as many characters and a nice easy warping system, also dodging blows is made simple. You can also "customize" your characters stats. Simply a must have for dbz fans
