(More customer reviews)Let me tell you this straight:This is NOT a DBZ Budokai game.Yes, it has the Budokai name, but that's because it simply had the Budokai license slapped on it for its US release. Forget everything you knew about the Budokai series, because this game's entirely different... which may be a good thing or a bad thing.
Probably the best thing of this title is it features the Japanese voices for the game, so you get to pick whichever you prefer.Longtime fans will probably enjoy hearing many of the original voices, such as mainstay Masako Nozawa as lead hero Goku(and Gohan.. and Goten... and Bardock...), as well as regulars such as Inuyasha's Takeshi Kusao, One Piece's Mayumi Tanaka, Rurouni Kenshin's Hirotaka Suzoki, Cowboy Bebop's Norio Wakamoto, and Sailor Moon's Toru Furuya and Yuko Minaguchi.Not to mention many of the voices, including Daisuke Gori, Hikaru Midorikawa, Toshio Furukawa, and Bin Shimada have provided voices for some of todays top fighting franchises, such as Dead or Alive, Tekken, and Soul Calibur.It's one huge reunion.Characters also have different abilities.Goku, for example, can use Kaio Ken to power up or Solar Flare to blind an enemy so he can get a hit in(ironically though, Tien or even Krillin for that matter, DOESN'T have Solar Flare)In his SSJ mode, he could use Instantaneous Movement to teleport safely behind an enemy and avoid their attack, leaving them open to a crushing blow.Fighting is fast paced and occurs on land, in the air, or even underwater.(apparently everybody can hold their breaths really well).The main mode retells most of the stories, as well as a few movies and some of DB and DBGT.There's also some extra fighting modes, as well as an improved customization menu that even lets you help unlock more characters.There's also some pretty neat character pages for every person you've unlocked, which provides history and attack info and even lists who does who's voice for both the English and Japanese versions.In appearance it seems like the perfect DBZ game... all is not well, however, as there are also quite a few negatives.
First, the controls are very poor.Yes, you heard me.It doesn't matter whether you know what the buttons do or not.They are horribly jerky and unresponsive even after you finally understand how to perform each move.For an example, when I press left, my fighter should go left, NOT STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE ENEMY!The music is also annoying.It's the same stuff we've been hearing since Budokai 1 three years ago... shouldn't we at least get a few new tracks?Story mode's cutscenes are also pretty dull, they're similar to the ones in B1 where two characters would chat right before the battle... unlike B1 though, it doesn't have extra scenes that attempt to copy the anime series.
All in all, DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi is a very mixed bag.Some parts are great, but a few areas could be improved upon.I'd honestly suggest renting first in case you don't like it, because some may be disappointed, especially if they are expecting this to be "Budokai 4."Still, for me at least the positives outweigh the negatives.I'll be playing this for quite some timie, even with more big hits coming out soon.
