Possible defection with game?

When I first played DBZ, I went through the tutorial and learned how to fully play the game. Then I went to the Z Chronicles (story mode) and began the first saga. At about level 3 or 4, the game froze as it was loading. I reset my xbox and it froze again on the same level but after it was done loading. Seeing as though my game may have been broken some how, I returned it to amazon and got a new one a few days later with no charge to me, even for shipping. Just as I thought this new disk was problem free, it froze numorous times in the Cell saga. When I took a look back at the menu, the only levels it was having trouble were the ones with Teen Gohan. After about a week with the new game, I noticed the edges of the disk were melted or somthing, because smooth plastic bits were weaved all along the outside. I was so fed up with the game freezing, I took a knife to the ends and scraped off the excess plastic, then used a CD repair kit that I found at Office Max to fill in any big scrarches I might have made. Now the game is working perfectly and hasn't givin me a proplem scince.

BEST DBZ game yet...

This was the best DBZ game that has come out so far. It was a great story line and it is about time it came out on the 360. Very happy with the service from Amazon to get it to me and very happy with the game.

Im not mad..... just disapointed

For me this game was a huge let down from the DBZ series, Ive played all the Dragon Ball Z Tencaichi and love every one of them, so naturally I purchase this when it came out. But I think that the only improvement this game have comparing to Tencaichi 3 are the superior graphics but thats only normal since the Tencaichi 3 was release for the PS2, I dont know why but they toke away so many great things that the old versions have like flying around, fast moves, and ki charge, and the things they put in just make the game slow and stupid like those drama pieces. Overall this is not a terrible game but it seems like a step down in the saga.

Great Dragon Ball Z Game, regardless of what others might say

This game is a very fun fighting game. Some of the battles are way crazy difficult on normal, imagine on the highest setting. Some of the battles are very one sided. The AI controls are questionable as it seams to be very weak and retarded in its logic one second then super ultra mega perfect the next. No offense is meant towards any person. I.E. Your opponent will be one punch away from defeat and you will have two full health bars, then the AI will unleash a flurry of combos leading to your defeat. Other times it wont attack when you are weak or your guard is down and just stand next you you blocking. There are some unexpected pieces in this game that are very enjoyable, and the cut scenes are skipable, but are enjoyable to watch. When you play, you always play as the winning side in the show, so whomever won that fight in the show, you will play as, good or bad guy. Your first time play through will be annoying after each win because of the unlockables, but that happened in previous DBZ games. The controls are easy, easy to be both a button masher and a button master, either way could win the fight. The graphics are great to watch, yet they take nothing away from the experience in the game. I highly recommend this game to any DBZ fan or any body that likes fighting games.

are they kidding me????

The Dragonball Z game to wish for. Well definitly the one to get for the next generation systems. With awesome visuals and tight game control this is far probably the best DBZ game thus far. The graphics are real smooth and very colorful in this game. Making it very addictive to watch. Even if you own all the previous DBZ games on the PS2. Watching this one on the screen will make you cash up your money just for the visuals and the game control is actually pretty good in Burst Limit.
Same storylines as always but this time they only threw in the primary action lines just enough for you to know what's going on. Then next thing you know the action is rolling! My opinoin this DBZ is worth it for any DBZ fan and the graphics will probably draw in other fighting fans. DragonBall Z Burst Limit for the next generation systems is the one to get!

A Real Let Down For The DBZ series...

I played this game for XBox 360 and as a fan of other DBZ games and a MAJOR fan of the anime I can tell you this game lacks about 90% of the excitement of previous DBZ games. The only thing this game truly brings to the table that we havent seen before is improved graphics...THATS IT!!! There are too many cutscenes during the fights (this becomes annoying the more you play) that seem as if they are going to build up on what's already happening in the fight and once your excitement builds to see what happens it just goes back to the fight as if nothing happened.

Pros:
- Graphics
- Good voice-overs

Cons:
- The game ends at the end of the Cell saga - No characters who appear in the Buu Saga or after (including GT) appear in this game.
- Less transformations.
- Crappy power moves.
- Annoying cutscenes during the fight where the characters only talk and don't perform any power moves.
- The list goes on...

Basically nothing you loved about the older games like Budokai or Tenkaichi are featured in this game. As I mentioned this game lacks too much to even be a competitor with the other DBZ games. I would not recomment BUYING this game. But if you find yourself with absolutely nothing else in the world to do it would be good to rent.

The Coolest Looking Dragon Ball Z Game To Date!

So I just put down the controller after a good 4hr+ test drive. And I have to say I am impressed with this new edition to the dragonball franchise.
The learning curve for this one is extremely easy and simple to get the hang of. I have to say I do miss the over the shoulder look the "Dragon Ball Z:B.T.2 and 3 had, And you don't get near as many characters or story levels. But where you lose in areas you gain in others. None of the Characters feel the same, all the combos and moves feel different with each.
I say if you are a Fan of the DBZ series or just a fan of a good fighting sim this is the game for you!

This game is over 9000! great job chris sabat

I pre ordered this game from amazon 7days ago and the mail man came today with it, i was so exited to play this game so i played storymode and wow thats how DBZ should look like. 3D greatness, so for the storymode during each battle, find conditions to create new scense and watch unique story unfold at the end of each game. Higher quality gameing, experience visuals and movement reminicent of the anime due to Z3 shading technology and detailed effects. High intensity battles, increased speed of charge and release on the field, free movement around the field, and increased speed and power of attacks. Energy, use special skills will no longer drain energy. The lower your energy, the stronger you get, makeing for a possible turnaround of the battle. Fatal Blow, each character in the game has their own Fatal Blow. If the player successfully attacks his oppoiniet, this would be a finishing move, but if not, it will put the player in the disavantageous situation, and he must battle with no Fatal Blow for the rest of the battle. This is the best DBZ game iv evered played, its like shin bodukai mixed bodukai3 and other crazy stuff, so this is a great game.

Transport this game back 3 years and it'd be worth buying.

As a long standing owner of Xboxes (the original and now a 360) I was pretty excited to see a DBZ game on an Xbox finally. I've played Budokai on the psp and some Tenkaichi on the PS2.

This game plays like a ported copy of the PSP game with better cutscenes. As was mentioned in some of the other reviews, the game stops at the end of the Cell Saga. I can't even think of any other DBZ games that do that. The transformations are a bare minimum, with Goku being the only character I found with more than one (Kaioken and SSJ1).

Long story short, Tenkaichi 2 on the PS2 was twice as good as this game and that's been out for years. The only way you should even consider buying this game is if you're a DBZ fan that's never played a DBZ video game, and you don't have access to a PS2 or 3. The -only- thing this game has over any other DBZ game, even the PSP versions, is decent voiceovers and cutscenes.
