4 out of 5 stars Review Tenkaichi   July 25, 2006

Overall the game was good. It isn't as much fun as the other Dragaon Ball Z games; but I'm still glad I bought it.


5 out of 5 stars My new favorite DBZ game!   July 16, 2006
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I got this game a while ago when I was shopping for something else entirely and I just happened to see it on a shelf. It seemed like a good game and I bought it since I likes my Dragonball Z.

First off, this is how a DBZ game should be. You certainly feel like you are in the show. Budokai was cool but the charcters moved very stiffly and slow. The only problem is now you move much too quickly and it's hard to control your guy at times. Also, the amount of characters avaialable to play with(after you've done a quick sweep of story mode that is) is quite large. Super Vegeta is my favorite.

Also there is a rather beefy customization option available. You upgrade your characters with z items. Though it's a bad that you have to upgrade every form of goku, vegeta etc with different items. For example if you give super saiyan goku a +2 attack item then super saiyan goku 3 won't have it. Basically what I'm getting at is if you want to play as a variety of characters then you're gonna need a lot of z items or do a lot of item switching.

The downside which has been mentioned is the controls are somewhat stiff but I still like the attempt to make the game intense like the anime. The game also has it's chokepoints. The single most annoying thing I have done at least recently is surviving two minutes against Kid Buu as Vegeta. It's not Super Battletoads hard but its close. Also, there is not much emphasis or need to engage in fisticuffs. Most fights are won by charging up and letting rip with your special moves as soon as you can. And then not letting them get in close. The only time I fight hand to hand is when the enemy closes in and I have to knock them back. Still, for all it's flaws I love this game. Grab it and enjoy wailing on people as Goku/Vegeta Super Saiyan 4




5 out of 5 stars Better then they say!   July 10, 2006

You read that most people say that the game is insanely difficult or that the controls aren't that good, but I'm here to tell you that this isn't so.

This game is a challenge, and the bosses that you face really are as difficult as the characters in the show find them to be, that's why people have problems. Do you think that fighting Vegeta is going to be easy? If you do, you don't know the prince very well.

The controls are difficult at first, granted. But if you go through the tutorial fully and read, it's not so bad. The thing you have to remember is that your opponent is your focus when it comes to the controls. Left is left around your opponent, back is away, forward is towards. If you want to raise your energy just enough to do an attack, hold down the button for it while your charging.

Whenever I charge into a battle, I use my resources to the best. I've had fights where I fought for 60sec, hand-to-hand, trading blows like the show but never scoring a hit with some crazy close calls or even spent time hiding behind a rock sending ki towards the opponent after using solar flare. Sound like the show?

Once you learn to play like the computer on the hardest difficulty, the game looks EXACTLY like the show, and battles with friends can be just as epic. This game is not for the light at heart. It takes time, patients, and a lot of practise before you become good, unlike the rest of the games. It requires a video game master to be good. If you're up for the challenge, this is the game for you. If your not, don't even bother considering this game.

All-in-all, the controls aren't as bad as people say. Just play against a master of this game and you'll see.



4 out of 5 stars Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi.........a new kinda Budokai.........   July 8, 2006
If you come into Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi expecting it to be like the first three Budokais; well- you're going to be pleasantly surprised because it's a great deal different than those fighters. While the look and feel of the DBZ universe is there, you no longer play from a side by side approach of most 3-D fighters but from behind the character itself(like in Armored core if you've ever played that game). This new approach adds a more personal touch to the action by making you feel like you're actually in the battle itself taking place over full roaming 3-D environments that are completely destructible. Developer Spike(who created such games as Fire Pro Wrestling & Crimson Tears) will probably be criticized for this new gameplay mechanic because, at times, it gets repetitive and monotonous as it seems as though all the characters have pretty much the same moves and whatnot at first. Yet, if you play deeper into the game, you'll soon realize that all is not what it seems and it is a refreshing change to your normal fighters. Three or four hours into the game, it grew on me and, now, I look forward to Tenkaichi 2.

Certain changes were made in Tenkaichi to make it a totally new DBZ experience, assuredly, but the one biggest changes that had me wailing was the ramped up AI. Out of all the games I've ever played(including Jak II), this one literally had me cussing like a madman at times throwing down my controller in disbelief. The AI is absolutely brutal in this game. Course, once I learned the ins & outs of Tenkaichi, that began to ease down.

While it may not have as much depth to it as, say, games like Soul Calibur or Tekken or even Dead or Alive; it's got a certain quality about it that will appeal to fighting fans. One that I recommend as there is alot to like about this game. More than 60 playable characters, free-roaming Destructible 3-D Environments, profiles on the whole DBZ universe, different modes of gameplay and more.

Although, in my personal opinion, feelings will be mixed on this game. Players will either love it or hate it. I, for one, love it.



5 out of 5 stars It's a very great game   July 2, 2006
It may not be like the other games but it's fun. the only 2 problems with the game are controls and some of the fights (even on easy mode) are really frustrating. For instance, fighting Vegeta in his ape form is difficult (actually this might be the hardest fight in the game or at least in the story mode)and even fighting in his first form, with his scouter on, can be difficult too (not in story mode but in Ultimate battle)due to the fact that he keeps shooting energy balls at you and lets not forget Broly. if you hit him, of course he takes damage, but it looks like your not hitting him. aside from that, everything else is good. If you have to choose this or Budokai 3, I am going to tell you right now, they don't have the same gameplay. the best discription for the gameplay I can give to you is it's like playing a third person shooter, like a third person shooter meeting a fighting game, or simply Heavy Metal Geomatrix without the freakin' huge guns, heavy metal music, blood, jetpacks, and well, you get the idea.
