Description of Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3:

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 takes the lightning-fast fighting, flying and action featured in its predecessor and takes it to a whole new level with exciting new features, such as access to more than 150 playable characters, enhanced fighting techniques, and over 20 different battle stages. In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, different stages will occur in daytime or nighttime, with the presence of the moon allowing certain characters to transform and gain powerful new attacks! Additionally, a Disc Fusion System will be exclusively available to the PlayStation 2 console, allowing players to use Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and or Budokai Tenkaichi 2 to unlock exclusive game modes.

The world of Dragon Ball games has always been a hit and miss one. Many games based on the series have been dismal failures, dragging the already lackluster world of anime gaming down a notch. The only good games based on the series were the fighting games, and even these didn't truly capture the high-flying, butt-kicking excitement of the anime. This was remedied by the arrival of the Budokai Tenkaichi series, which gave DBZ gamers the action they had always dreamed of in a video game. The second installment improved greatly upon the first. And now we arrive at number three.

As a whole, Tenkaichi 3 is a great game, which makes some modest improvements over its predecessor. Sadly though, it isn't the leaps-and-bounds improvement I'm sure plenty of DBZ gamers were hoping for. Despite an improvement here and there, this feels more like what BT2 should have been, more like an expansion pack to BT2 than a full-blown sequel. Let's take a look at where the game succeeds and where it falters.

Overall, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a solid addition to the DBZ game library, which needs every good game it can get. It's not a full-blown, world-scale improvement over the previous game, but it's a nice addition to the series that does surpass its predecessor in most respects. If you liked the previous game, you'll definitely like the latest installment. It stays true to the previous games, but improves just enough elements to stay interesting.
