Dragon
Ball Z Budokai Review
By Gamerater
Budokai is really an awesome
game. How awesome?
Well...
The graphics are awesome, very clean. There is a lot
devoted just to the pleasing visuals of the attacks, you
can see that.
The concept of the game is simple. Its a
choose-your-man, get-him-ready, no-rules free for all.
The attack combos can be a little difficult to
memorize. Even more difficult are executing them. My
friend took about 10 minutes trying to get me to execute
a sucessful spirit bomb. Still, you just have to know
how to punch, kick, and do a simple attack combo and
you're ready. I beat my friend with Freiza when all I
could really do was Punch, kick, Death Beam, and Meteor
crash.
The practice mode is awesome. If you want to get a feel
for a character, just set the COMP ACTION to "Do
Nothing" and your opponent will just stand there. Oh
yeah, that only works on Practice mode... don't try it
in duel mode. A great appeal to all fans, not just in
the practice mode, but in the other modes too, is the
Taunt option, (All battle buttons) where your characte
talks a little trash.
Duel mode is great. It has several options: Player vs
Player, Player vs
Computer, and even... COMPUTER VS COMPUTER! Yes, that's
right, you can just
choose two characters and watch them fight it out.
In a nutshell, Budokai is a great game for all DBZ fans.
Rating:9 out of 10.
(HINT: Trunks and Cell can both power up immediately.
Take full advantage
of that.)
Signing off,
