Good but this game and the previous game are in a tie
I bought this game a day before it's actual release date and I must say it's a good game. The thing is, well, it's missing some important elements that made the previous game so good. I think in a way that this is Budokai 3 (not this game) over again. If you don't know to much of these games, I will give you a brief history. The 1st Budokai sold well, but the critics hated it (and some of the stuff in that game was kind of cheesy and bad.) so then a year later, the 2nd Budokai came out. The game was not only better than the first one but it had the memorable board game story mode (which was cool and kind of different since these games were mainly for fans of the series and didn't want to see the same crap over and over again) and the graphics were much better looking for the series. Then Budokai 3 came out. The graphics didn't change much and the battle system was kind of the same but went in a further direction to make it look more like the show. The board game story mode was taken out and replaced with the Dragon World (later seen in Budokai Tenkaichi 2) and when a cut scene came along, the characters more like talking heads before the battle started. Then the 1st Tenkaichi game came out and the battle system changed entirely. Unlike the other games before it, it was like Power Stone and a 3rd person shooter mixed. The game didn't have the skill capsules, so they were replaced with status upgraders and the characters had permenant moves. Sadly, this game had (for me anyways) some characters that had moves that totally suck A##! SS4 Goku's most powerful skill was the 10X Kamehameha Wave. So what was his regular move set? the 1st one was energy ball blasts and the other one was the explosive wave. SS3 Goku suffered the same fate as SS4 Goku. By the way your characters couldn't transform (you had to select a character and their form like if I picked Goku, I had to select his Base form or one of his Super Saiyan Forms). Story mode sucked too. It's like Budokai 1's story mode. Anyway to continue on, the 2nd Tenkaichi game was not only a massive improvement to the first one, it was Best of E3 runner-up of 2006 (Mortal Kombat Armageddon was fighting game of the year). Characters can transform, you can place status potoras (earrings) on your character and even level up the character. the Graphics were awesome, Story Mode was like Budokai 3's Dragon World mode. Character moves improved this time. A new Soundtrack was given into the game (instead of hearing the same crap from other previous games) the thing was their was so much to do in that game and not get bored with it for several Months. Then this game came out. I was so excited to play as GT little Goku and a bunch of other characters (Dr Wheelo is in this game by the way.). The move set changed slightly. the thing is that the story mode is more like Budokai 1 and BT1. That sucks. And it's to short, I am already at 65% of the story mode already.
Anyway here's the pros and cons of this game:
Pros:
- GT Little Goku is here and other characters that didn't appear in the other games
- the power struggle (energy blast struggles) system is much better. In the 1st game it only had to be lasers, the 2nd game had both lasers and balls but they couldn't mix. in this game you can use your Kamehameha against the Big Bang attack and have struggles with it.
- SS4 Vegeta has a laser attack for both a regular and a super (Final Flash and Final Shine)
- new soundtrack
- pressing a direction and Square at the same time while performing an energy attack will make your attack stronger
- If you have a Budokai Tenkaichi 1 or 2 game save (I think this is how it happened) you get the same amount of characters that you got from the other 2.....Look in the con section
Cons:
- Exp system gone and replaced by gaining levels to upgrade your potoras bar. so if I gained a level then that means i get an extra space. 7 is your maximum and some skills take up more than 1
- Story mode it awful (only good thing is that the battles for these chapters are looooonnnnnggggg! fewer chapters means longer fights Without a lot of loading)
- Dragon Points (which gain your levels for your characters) are tough to get
- cutscenes are lame (if you have 2 characters talking and then a 3rd will talk but doesn't come into the scene. You can hear voices in your head!)
- Big Characters can't be attacked by Speed rush attacks
- .....but some characters Like SS4 Vegeta or Goku from GT or even SS4 Goku aren't there as default characters. You still have to unlock them.
Both:
- 5 Gokus are a little too many but only because of A. base form gokus can have their own moves (There are Vegeta saga, Frieza/Cell Saga, Buu Saga, DB saga and of course, GT saga Gokus (GT is kid Goku)) and B. The Creators thought mabye this would be a wise idea so that they can have their customers (players) play a certain Goku that would be right for that saga. in other words, they don't want players to Transform into a SS3 while beating the crap out of Raditz (we've all done that before obviously).
Conclusion:
This game is awesome but the 2nd one is just about as good. If you have no.2 and have the idea that playing as GT Goku is fun (like me) so you can eventually get 3, keep them both not only for the disc fusion system but also if you get sick of playing this game and want to start a new file in BT2, that can be a good thing. If you have just this one don't get BT2 and If you have no.2 but want to get no.3 rent it first because everything I put on this review is true. It's not that much of an improvement over the previous game. Also If you see this game in the store and looking at the 2nd or 3rd game at the same price (which rarely happens but sometimes it does) get this one or if you see the previous game 10 bucks less than this one just wait a little longer to get some more cash to get it.
this is a fun game, but i thought bio broly was in this game
I got this game on my birthday november15 and This game is fun but the thing is that they put new characters that don't really belong in here, and most of them i really don't play as, and that should'nt been in this game, characters like arale, babdi, kid chi chi, devilman, saibamen, dr wheelo, hercule, grandpa, pilaf, frieza soildier, cui, yajirobe, nam, chaotzu, android 8, appule, tambourine, and general blue. Those characters really did'nt belong in this game, but the other new characters are great, characters like future gohan, GT kid goku, nail, zangya, nova shenron, spopovich, great saiyawomen, turles, salza, king cold, fasha, kabitoki, king vageta, kid goku, general tao, cyborg tao, and pikkon, those are great new characters. And the old charaters are still great to, like what they did new to goku they put the past goku, middle goku, and future goku, i like how they did that so they seperate different attacks and moves from goku, instead of leaveing him one like they did in the other DBZ games. But i thought that bio broly was going to be in this game that really would had been great if he was, but thats okay he will probly be in DBZ burst limit i can't wait untill that comes out on xbox360 iam going to be playing people online and haveing fun like i always do, but this is a great game. There was nothing wrong with the storymode it was fine and fun it was'nt long like tenkaichi2 storymode was, tenkaichi2's storymode was to long and there was parts of the storymode that really did'nt make any seanse, but this game is better. I unlocked all the stages and i have only two more characters to unlock, and the characters are king cold and fasha i will unlocke them but this is a fun game. The stages are better to and great but the penguin village stage i have to say is a joke but its still great, fighting outer space is unique to but they did'nt have to put frieza's space ship there oh well its still fun, planet namek was always a fun place to fight in even in the budokai series games, so this is a fun great game.
A Step Down...
If you have Tenkaichi 2, I suggest you rent this one before you buy it. This title might have more characters, and more stages, which I admit are some great perks, but it cut several features that made Tenkaichi 2 a great game.
This game does have some good updates in the AI, as the fighters are more adept at learning your fighting technique, but the graphics haven't gone up much since the last game, as well as a few other little things that add up to making the game somewhat... lacking.
The Good:
Many characters to choose from. Having over 150 characters does give you the chance to use any character if you liked them in the movies or in the series
Many good stages: good and destructable. That makes for a good fight.
Good Graphics: Haven't gone up much from the second, but still are pretty tight.
Transformations have improved: Tenkaichi 2 introduced transformations to the Tenkaichi name, but they weren't top notch. Tenkaichi 3 offers more realistic (as far as realism in anime/supernatural fighting games go).
The Bad:
The fight's are all bunched up into 1 little block. You can't win one fight, then lose the other and try and win the second fight again. You must re-start the entire fight sequence if you lose once.
No bonus fights: Tenkaichi 2 offered you the opportunity to fight someone else besides the target for the level, to give you the chance to fight with someone new or earn some extra money or experience: This game doesn't even offer you the ability to fly across a map, which is what made the last 3 games good.
Repeat Characters: This game has 5 Gokus. They have to kid Gokus (Dragon ball and Dragonball GT) as well as 3 adult Gokus (one for the beginning of the series, midway, and end of it), to make it seem like the story followed the way chronologically. I guess they didn't want you going super sayain 3 to kill Freiza or Raditz.
Babbling Text: What would normally be a cut scene or a prelude to the fight scene is now just somebody you can't see babbling and conversing with your character or someone else in the background. It's not so much bad, as somewhat annoying.
Confusing upgrade system: It doesn't say the max amount of upgrade you can give a person: The previous game gave people a limit of 20 points to an attribute (health, strenght, speed, etc.) This one is sort of hard to figure.
To conclude, I have to say this game is much better than the first Tenkaichi game, but not as good as the second. I suggest getting the second, but you might as well get the third just to say you have it and for the extra characters.
