Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 box artHere comes another sequel for the old awesome anime ever from Japan, the Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Most gamers are focusing with the new ones like Naruto and Bleach and any other anime from Japan that is turned into games. This games are getting popular eh? After all, I find them very enjoyable to play especially with my friends.

To keep track with the tradition, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 offers plenty of crazy blasting of ki energy and enough Dragon Ball fan service to raise up your power lover for over 9000, but there's not a whole lot of innovation or terribly deep combat. One thing the game does have, however, is a good variety of different game modes. The main story mode is named Dragon History, and it takes you through a mess of battles made famous in all three Dragon Ball series and the movies. Dragon History mode loses the map that you have to navigate inbetween fights in the previous Budokai Tenkaichi 2, which helps streamline of the battles and keeps the action moving along.

You may consider many Dragon History bouts have been tackled in many previous games, some effort has been put into this mode to make one of a hell fresh fights. There are scripted moments within many of the battles. This triggers a new event of stor within the real fight, the results are usually in your current character flying out of the ring and an ally coming in to take over. Druing the match, you may hear multiple characters talking to advance in the storyline of the game. It's a little odd at first of course, you might get pissed with it, but it does a good job of replicating the feel of the anime.

The Dragon World Tour mode allows you to advance through a ranked tournament and the Ultimate Battle contains a few variants on the classic survival mode. One of the more interesting Ultimate Battle modes is being dubbed by Sim Dragon, which gives you ten turns to make your chosen fighter as strong as he or she can get. Each trun is completely menu-driven, and you can opt to train, explore, or rest your character. Making the proper decisions will boost or lower their stats and health. Once the ten days are up, you face off against an opponent with your current abilities. It's somewhat simple but it's an interesting twist on what is normally a fairly dry mode in fighting games.
