I LOOKS good, have never played one of these games thought, I guess it'll just stay that way, I mean I used to love the tv show, but a game? It seems a little kiddy.

I would buy this game but it's basically a redone version of the first DBZ: Budokai with Budokai 3 controls and shinier graphics. I'll pass.

@Communist_Gamer: I don't get it... Fighting looks as good as the wii both versions of it, and all the other many ps2 versions. Graphics are crisp though, and I like that, OOOOOO Shiny.

This game actually looks very, very good at this point.

Having grown up with DB, it's a fucking shame that Funimation degraded it to a point where every supposed "anime aficionado" prods the series with a stick and laughs at it.

@Stormrider: In example:

"KAMEHAMEHA!!!"(really reallllllllly fast)
like they do in the new ones when you just tap uhhh forward and circle...

and it just goes *PEW*kamehameha*PEW* in about .5 seconds

Have you never played a DBZ game? pish posh... >,>

Graphics look very good. Though the controls could be problematic...Here's hoping the game adapts well to the PS controller.

@Ryumeka: one bit looked like the end of the cell fight. So i guess that far at least.

The best dbz fighting game imo is hyper dimension, I played the rom of that one for hours.

@KaliKOtt: I'm surprised it took so long for someone to point this out. Maybe the lines are better defined and the coloring looks nicer, but it still looks a lot like the Budokai games.

However, I liked those games, and I still like DBZ, so I'm willing to stay interested in this for now.

KaliKOtt — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:46:07 MDT

Meh, other than slightly improved shading it still looks like the PS2/Wii DBZs

Budokai 3 is still the best for me although it has that awful guesswork combo thing

Shalashaska — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:29:34 MDT

@kidko: A sped up/hyper Rumble Fish engine would do the trick. This game looks a little better, although capturing the wildly hyperbolic fights DBZ has (after managing to sit through the dialogue and screaming) seems difficult. Marvel VS Capcom 2 has the speed and the flashy system and would also make for an interesting DBZ adaptation.

Lackshmana — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 13:11:11 MDT

So is this still going to have the open area fights of the recent games?

That was really the only thing that sold me on them.

The actual battle mechanics have always been mediocre in all the 3D DBZ fighters, but at least with the Tenkaichi games you could move around the large areas and what not.

runner73 — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:58:42 MDT

I enjoyed playing the Wii version of DBZ, and think this one looks promising simply for nostalgia factor. My question is why do we have to keep playing the same saga's over and over and over. It's worse than Star Wars games the way they keep doing the same scenario over and over. Aren't there years of episodes to pull from post-Cell Saga that never aired here?

WolfGod — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:54:46 MDT

I liked all the budokai and tenkaihici series but Burst Limit might only be a rent for me since there is only going to be 21 characters and 5 stages.

Also they are stopping at the Cell sega, I really liked Mystic Gohan or Ultimate Gohan whatever name you prefer.

@Stormrider:
You want a new system? Try the Tenkaichi games. Trust me, you'll be yearning for the old system in no time.

Hell, I shouldn't have even replied to this... calling it a console port of Shin Budokai is just plain ignorance.

@huginn - No I will not give you a hug!:

Well you have to think this Anime has trancended normality. It is a pulp culture icon on both Japan, and the United States.

I would compare it to Comic Book type status. People love to play Batman, Superman, and other games of those characters. The only thing with Anime is that it is one long soap opera. There is a true end. Unlike American animation where it is just segments of events many of times.

So I am not surprised people still have high interest in DBZ. Heck I still do, and it has been years since I have seen an episode. I enjoyed the simplicity of it all. Good guys fight bad guys...bad guys lose at last minute push by good guys. Nothing fancy, but what it did was to be a nice simple escape. I think some people just take the show to seriously.

@ProfWho: Maybe in the next re-release of the show on DVD, they'll recreate everything using the game's engine.

Actually, that sounds pretty cool.

@Stormrider: It's either "whooooosh!!!" or a high-pitched "fwiiiiing!!!", I think.

pandafresh — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:36:02 MDT

Isnt there like 200 characters in this game? ridiculous haha. Rhythm-based DBZ game would be the best, why? because you could make your characters talk for 40 minutes about some shit or something before throwing one punch. Parappa The DBZ Fighter.

I'm assuming there's supposed to be a comma between "guys yelling" and "speed lines". Otherwise, I want to know what the hell a speed line sounds like.

myrlin — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:34:51 MDT

75% nonsensical dialog? You surely meant 90 minute fights with 89 minutes spent yelling at the camera.

It will sell like it was FF or Pokemon though, so it doesn't matter how good/bad it is.
