 Extremely Disappointed. July 11, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
It was my first game I bought for my PS3, and I gotta say I'm extremely disappointed. The game looks awesome alright, but it is way too short. All it has is the STORY MODE, which you can probably beat it in about 3-4 hours. Some crappy SURVIVAL MODE, which you have to fight the same characters over and over again 100 times, which is pretty boring, cosidering the dificulty between fights DOESN'T increase as you advance, so, there's really no challenge at all (I got to battle 50 and stopped, cause I got tired of it), and since theres NOTHING to unlock, well, there's really no purpose to play the game other than the STORY MODE.
Also, there's a lot of characters missing. You don't fight Zarbon or Dodoria in Frieza's Saga, also missing Androids 19 and 20 in the Androids Saga. There's no alternate costumes for the characters, only alternate colors, which sucks, cause it doesn't do a major change to the character looks. And it has about 5 stages to choose from too, not a big selection if you ask me.
The fighting is not that good either, just as the other Dragon Ball Z games, one "light" punch button, one "smash" punch button, the "ki blast" button and the "guard" button, and a few more extra features in battle, but nothing big or interesting. So there's really not a big variety of moves, it is mostly a "button-mashing" game. After about 10-15 fights, it gets repetitive and boring.
Overall, the game has pretty good graphics, but it is NOT that good, so if your look for a SINGLE PLAYER game, DEFINITELY this is NOT the game for you. It MAY be "funner" to play with friends, but when it comes to SINGLE player, it's really not worth it, specially at that price. So, only get this game if you're a hardcore fan of the series, or wait till the price drops, cause I really think $60 for this game it's too much for what the game has to offer.
 The Kamehameha fizzles... June 28, 2008

What did they do to my precious DBZ fighting game series?
Okay, it looks beautiful. I will admit that. I've heard people say "It's so nice looking that it looks like your are controlling the Anime itself". Well, the graphics actually blow the decade old animation out of the water. It would be nice to see the series re-done using this level of animation.
And the positive reviews stop here. I'm an avid fan of the DBZ series. Esepcially so when it comes to the Budakai Tenkaichi series. I own 1, 2 and 3. Burst Limit is to the DBZ fighting series or games as a one legged grey hound is to dog racing.
I am not sure if they dumbed it down for younger kids, if they just wanted to try something new, or just were too worried about the "pretty face" of the game.
The DBZ: BT series is known for being high-speed, fast-paced, all over the screen action. Burst Limit just shoved 6 metric tons of lead down everyones undergaments. I am used to "rushing" and "dragon homing". Now I get Goku floating across the screen at speeds that would have him paced by balloons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The controls have definitely been dumbed down. It's really just a matter of "wait till my Ulimate Attack powers up....and fire" system. There's crap for variety.
At most, I would reccomend this game as a rental. I'll be selling mine very shortly.
Not worth full price June 23, 2008

Yes, the game is fun. Yes, it looks very pretty. But unfortunately, the game is way too short, only covering up to the Cell Saga, and then it doesn't even cover all the events taking place up to that. I think only the Saiyan Saga is fully covered, but the rest are not. You don't fight Dodoria or Zarbon, and only two members of the Ginyu appear; only androids #16, 17, and 18 show up; no Cell Jr... I think you get the point. I am fine with actually having less playable characters, but not at the expense of playing through all battles in the series.
As far as gameplay goes, i like the controls. I actually use the analog stick to move the characters. Takes a little getting used to the fact that you can't charge up your Ki, game does it for you. Drama Pieces was a nice little touch, but they should give you the option of turning them off on story mode, cause they don't really add anything spectacular, and many times it throws off your whole momentum when the fight stops to show you a little 5 second scene.
Overall, its worth a rental, not a full price purchase.
 Best DBZ sim ever June 17, 2008
Pros: Graphics, story, online play, controls.
Cons: Need destructible environments.
"The graphics perfectly match the game with the series, fans will love the likeness of the in-game characters and their tv series counter parts. The story is as any DBZ fan knows is top notch. The addition of online play is a definite plus, letting fans deliver a Kamehameha from one part of the world to the next. What really puts this game ahead of the rest is the controls, the entire time you play you will really feel like you're a part of the DBZ universe. The only thing negative I can say about this game is the lack of destructible environments but with gameplay as good as this it doesn't bother me one bit. This is an absolute must buy for any DBZ fan/PS3 owner."
Great Game But!!! June 14, 2008

the games graphic is amazing of course i means it's a ps3 for crying out loud, but it don't give all the exitement you would want in DBZ for a ps3, for a fact there is'nt enough characters nothing new in the moves it's basically the same old thing over and over and if you've seen one of the character moves then you have seen all of the characters moves all are the same thing i played dbz tenkaichi 1,2 and 3 and my gosh nothing has changed maybe for the fact that they took out some good characters thats the only thing. as i said if you played one dbz you've played all i'm not a big DBZ fan but this game is still recommended i give it a 3 out of 5
