Video Game Reviews of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Customer Review: A true sequel or just a combination of previous games?
Summary: 4 Stars
There have been numerous DBZ games in the past and each and every games have been only very mediocre, but never going beyond mere mediocrity. However, this newest DBZ game in the Budokai series, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, was something that was extremely unique and different from its predecessors and included few of the most amazing features that makes it one of the best DBZ, let alone, one of the best fighting games to this day. Or so how I extremely wished that to be true.
Very disappointingly, it's not what you have seen in the past and it's actually becoming rather repetitive than anticipated.
First of all BT3 keeps many of it's wonderful(?) or bad(?) features (you decide as I think it depends on taste) mostly the same from its predecessors. One main "new" thing that I could think of was the addition of new characters which in all, add up to over 150 characters. Besides from this addition, I can't say that much else is new. But as a DBZ fan, I'm satisfied with the mere fact that it has over 150 characters. However, it still is missing some of characters that I wished were included in the series such as Frieza's dad, who even showed up in the fight against Devilman, Super Saiyan 2 Future Trunks (I remember it being included in one of the previous games), Krillin's older form, and much more. Maybe I'm asking too much but I'm sure some other hardcore DBZ fans like me feels the same way.
Gameplay, graphics, and sound are all similar and are neither great nor terrible.
Replay value is also only average as there are tons of things to do but many features get dull or repetitive.
Lastly, I have to say that this game is definitely the best game in the budokai series as it keeps the same features from the past but has more characters than any other DBZ games (even more than Burst Limit, the new DBZ game which was released for PS3 and Xbox 360) and I strongly recommend to the fans of the franchise, but to the casual gamers who are looking for a great fighting game, think about it twice before buying it or rather, borrow or rent it beforehand to decide whether this game is for you or not.
