Z animated series from Saiyan Saga to Cell Games, face off with
up to 23 mighty warriors and unlock, customise and trade
devastating skills with friends to create the most powerful
fighters in the universe. There are five epic play modes, each of
which lets you fine tune your skills against custom AI nents

.co.uk Review
-------------
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai faithfully recreates the popular Dragon
Ball animated series, giving you the power to fight up to 23
familiar friends and foes in a variety of scenarios. It's not for
the weak-of-thumb, so start out with a little practice, learning
the powerful kicks, punches, and elaborate combinations that will
lead you to victory. When you've mastered the skills and warmed
up your thumbs, jump into the tournament ring and defeat
nents--every victory wins you money to spend at Mr Popo's,
buying and trading skills to trounce future nents.
The Story segment of the game may be the most fun for fans,
though it diverges from standard gameplay. Where most games have
long, elaborate series of gameplay, intercut with story, Dragon
Ball Z intercuts very short interactive battles with long
animated sequences portraying everything from the Saiyan Saga
through to the Cell Games. The animation and voicing in these
sequences mirrors the television series and even uses the very
same voice actors as the show. Some fans may be disappointed when
gameplay ends with the Cell Games--or they may take it as a sure
sign that future games will be released to cover the remaining
sa.
Fun? Yes. Flawless? No. There's not a whole lot under the
surface of the sa--what you see is what you get. And you also
might get a little tunnel syndrome along the way--the
button-mashing combinations needed to pull off the most awesome
moves may not be friendly to fans' forearms. Still, Dragon Ball
Z: Budokai may be a slam dunk for fans of the series who now have
the rtunity not just to watch the sa, but to participate
in them. --Maile Bohlmann
