THE GOOD:
cool graphics,good transformations,great atacks,many modes and .............about EVERYTHING ELSE!GINYU HAS AN ATTACK BODYCHANGE,WHICH is daaaaaa bomb!

THE BAD:
not enough characters,like the rest of ginyu league,ss2goku,ss3,ss4 master roshi and a whole ot others.misses buu garlic jr.,gogeta,cooler,super buu,and the rest of the characters.the sagas too.

SUMMARY:
if you are into good fighting games,you gota get this game .the other dbz games have all characters but their graphics are not so good.sure,if you have a choice between this game and any other dragonballz game(dbz budokai 2,3),buy the latter but if the choice is between this and any other fighting game BUY THIS GAME,OR YOU MAY REPENT.(in 99% of the cases).just start unlocking the charaters and their skills,and you will not be able to put the gamepad down!!!!!!

THE GOOD:
Superb graphics and mind blowing special attacks.
The ability to transform with certain characters.
Lots of game modes and features.
Brilliant multiplayer mode.
Everything else.

THE BAD:
Some characters I would've liked to see are missing. Here they are: The entire Ginyu force (other than Captain Ginyu), Master Roshi, The Buus, Bebidi, Garlic Junior and the Spice Boys, Dabura.

SUMMARY:
Despite some of the characters that are sadly missing, this is an incredibly enjoyable fighting game. Any fans of Dragonball, GT or Z will love this. I can't believe to tell you how satisfying it is to use 100% power Frieza to pummel your opponent to a pulp, then blast him/her with a massive energy beam.
I haven't played Dragonball Z Budokai 2 or 3 yet, but after this I'm really looking forward to it. Buy this game, it's even cheaper now.

THE GOOD:
Lots of characters, it follows like exactly in the DBZ shows, the controls are easy and it's a great fighting game.

THE BAD:
Some of it gets extremely easy.. I mean, REALLY easy(depending on how often you play though), some of it gets boring, and of course, if it's a fighting game, then its too boring with only one player.

SUMMARY:
For a first time Dragonball Z game, Budokai I must say is great. There are lots of modes to play, and you have the option of playing through a lot of different game modes. There is a story mode where you can play as the desired character and actually go through the entire DBZ storyline, you have a tournament mode, and there are also lots of other various methods of gameplay. Its fun to play because there are nice combos for every different character. That brings me to my next point, which is the gameplay itself.

Another, or should I say the main fun part about this game is the combo's and other type...

THE GOOD:
Loads of your favourite characters and loads of fun.

THE BAD:
Getting all the Dragonballs from the shop just to get a breakthrough is so boring, Mr popo does my head in. The voices of the characters are all in Japanese with subtitles.

SUMMARY:
Great game the storyline is pretty long and there is secret bits with alternate endings and a big variety of characters to choose from, the game also features android 19, Zarbon and Dodoria which Budokai 2 and 3 left out. The graphics are ok but nothing special just your averege everyday ps2 graphics.The music is ok once again nothing special. The game goes up to the Cell saga where you defeat Cell but it's fun so you could do it over a few times. Altogether though i'd give it about 82% your better off just buying Budokai 2 or 3.

THE GOOD:
This is the game that started the entire budokai series and the first dbz game for the ps2 and game cube.

THE BAD:
nothing's bad with this game it was the first budokai.

SUMMARY:
This game is awesome it has all the DragonBallZ sagas from Saiyan all the way through Cell saga and it has ulternate endings for the story line and many good attacks that a character can use and has many good DragonBallZ characters from the series.This game started it all and now we are playing the last budokai game of the series DragonBallZ:Budokai 3.We are still hoping that there will ba another Budokai game in the series to continue after DragonBallZ:Budokai 3 and that it would finish the DragonBallZ Budokai series at the end of DragonBallGT,which we hope will have all the characters that we would have ever wanted in a DragonBallZ game.

This is a simple thing, DBZ is a fighting genre, so this is a fighting game...
It was the reason why I got into fighting games, before it was Tekken games that left me feeling like I wanted more, like the story was meant to go on futher...
This just left me in awe...


.:: Graphics ::.

The graphics are a 3D style much like other games, the shading on them is very detailed, I really like the SSJ hair and how in the edit caps menu you can change where the sahdow is to see the attiention to detail they made to it instead of just having some blocks darker than others...

4.2

.:: Gameplay ::.

The story mode is not as long as I wanted to be as it ends at the Cell Saga instead of going into Buu or GT...
It keeps it going with the alternate storymodes where you can be the villian of each Saga, also you can go in an replay your...

THE GOOD:
-Most of the characters from the DBZ Series
-The Storyline is pretty good

THE BAD:
-Graphics for 3D isn't good
-Most of the moves don't look good with the light effects
-Music isn't good
-Most of the missions in the Story are really hard and the Tournament matches are hard
-It pretty much isn't worth the time waste
-Character match ups aren't good

SUMMARY:
For the first PS2 DBZ Game, it isn't very good. This game is overall bad! I could spend all night talking about it, but I want to finish it quick.This game's probably only good things are they have alot of the characters and the storyline is almost exact to the TV Series.

One thing I didn't like was the Character Fights, like if you're a DBZ Fan, you should know, Krillin Couldn't beat Goku in 1, 2, 3! Also in every game, Audio matters alot, and this game has horrible music. The game used to cost alot, and now it doesn't, but it's so hard and will spend...

THE GOOD:
graphics,character,multiplayer,and customzation

THE BAD:
too short and too easy i beat this game in an hour and 1/2

SUMMARY:
This is an ok game if i were to buy it it would be for multipalyer cause its like a dbz tekkan. the characters were good cause it had a wide varitey and the graphics were good, i likwd the capsule idea becasue not every can have the same moves and becauseits fun and you could use you memory card to play against your freinds and bust out a secret move. the storyline was good but it was too easy.
The dragonball feature was cool the time i summoned the dragon was awsome. the th hercule sidequest was a ok you could play it when your wait for like food or somthing .so overall i would give this game a 6 out of 10. So if you are a dbz fan or just like fighting games i would buy this game.

THE GOOD:
Half made for die hards, half made for the new crowd

THE BAD:
Half made for the new crowd, half made for die hards

SUMMARY:
I love Dragonball. I really do. I love it so effin' much that I learned Akira Toriyama's DBZ art style and created my own 3 series manga following...well, enough o' dat. What I also loved is how DBZ hit Cartoon Network like a rockhammer fist during 1996-1999 gaining much appeal and creating an awesome fanbase, as if the name dragonball didn't already have an underground cult following en masse even before that, but after that I began to realize over the years how the series was only being milked for money, bastards using 10-20 episode stretches over and over to gain and gain and gain, publicly ridiculing other stations that played anime/americanime trying to cash in on the hype, with lines like, "...C'mon, who's the one that brought you Dragonball?" ROT IN HELL TOM! In any case, I still loves my DB/DBZ....

THE GOOD:
Playing as Dragon Ball Z chaicters, and being Gohan 2 ^^

THE BAD:
This game was too easy and you could beat it in one day.

SUMMARY:
This game was pritty fun actually. Playing as the bad guys where really fun. Story mode is about the only fun thing on there, the chapionships where anyoing becuse charicters would just knok you out of the ring, when you where about to beat them. The two player mode was fun. I was also impressed on how you could play as two difrent Gohans, I prefered the teen Gohan becuse he is the only one on the game that can go Super Sayin 2. Although the first few levels where a little boring, when it got to the cell games, it got to be quite fun. The game's fighting style got a bit tedious...
