For the hillbillies around there, official site of the 4th DBZ game on PS2, still edited by Bandai.

The interesting detail here is that the game will be developped by Spike, and not Dimps. Well, at least it's an interesting detail for thoses like me who were worrying about Dimps developing a new game every two month.

A family member got me the original Budokai as sort of a gag gift, but I was pretty surprised by how addicting it was. It was so good that I actually played it for six hours straight and then kept playing it in a similar fashion for the next two days until I was done with it. It had a fun, non-cheap, non-hardcore battle system, a fun story mode, and some pretty fantastic extras, like the series of "What If?" levels where the villain wins and such. In fact, the last boss is not only hilarious, but also difficult:



Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
It's a "What If?" scenario where Cell tries to absorb 18, but Kuririn pushes her out of the way and gets absorbed himself. Cell loses all of his powers and Yamcha and Tenshinhan, the pathetically weak has-been fighters, try to avenge Kuririn's "death". You play as Cell and Yamcha appears to fight like a God Of War because you're so weak! He's actually the hardest boss in the game!

End of Spoiler



If the reviews for Budokai 2 didn't say, "This is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the last game. Also, it sucks.", I probably would have bought the sequels.

I recently rented Budokai 3 because a friend of mine said it was worth checking out. I haven't tried the other Budokai's yet but from what I've heard 1+2 were vertually the same gameplay wise, but 3 was completely different.

And damn I've had A LOT of fun with B3. Dragon Rushes, mad teleporting skills and Mr Satan (*ahem* I mean Hercule), who can be deadly with the right capsules equipped. Not to mention the ability to customize your fighters stats.

I wish they added a few more characters, but as I undertsand it, this is supposed to be the last Budokai game.

Well Iggy-san, I sure am surprised that the only true DBZ game for this year is being made by a company whom I have heard of before but never did anything special,
let alone done something as big as DBZ.And who knows if this game will be even better than DBZ Budokai 3, since the game has the one character that Budokai didn't have even though it should have, Janenba.(Man, that was long).
To cut a long story short, leave it to Japan if you want a really good game based on a manga/anime hit franchise.

Does Fire Pro Wrestling ring any bells? Spike is a pretty good developer... although they did work on that yuck-fest called Crimson Tears. Anyway it couldn't possibly be any worse than DBZ Sagas... but probably not as good as Budokai 3. Budokai 3 is a fun fighting game... but it's pretty annoying that you actually have to buy special attacks and finishing moves.

I don't know why people hate on the budokai games so much (well, I never played 1 or 2... and I didn't play the hell out of 3 until my friend had unlocked everything). but in all seriousness, DBZB3, at least, is a VERY good game. as far as licensed anime games go (whereas most suck ball), DBZB3 is just chock full of so much stuff and actual decent gameplay, that its fun. my biggest complaint is that there's no japanese language w/sub option, since I never really watched the dub, but whatever. budokai 3 is probably the second best licensed anime fighting game, next to naruto GNT3.

I was looking at the shots of Sparking today... and then I realized why it seemed so familiar... it's Phantom Dust! or a Phantom Dust clone at least. It's not so surprising though... when I played Phantom Dust I was thinking how well the game would have worked with DBZ characters... smart move by Spike.

Well, I just assumed that since you were so into Budokai 3 and that (at least I thought) you were a big DBZ fan, then you'd more than likely be all over this game when it comes out.

The director of Phantom Dust said he was currently working on another project that used the PD engine, so this could be it. I can't tell myself from the few tiny shots I've seen so far though.

You are right Undead Fred, I used to be a big DBZ fan.But all that changed last year, when I found myself totally addicted to the greatest manga/anime franchise ever...NARUTO!!! Need I say more?

You need to watch more anime if your view of greatest anime/manga franchise is Naruto. Sure the manga's still going pretty well, but even the most hardcore fan must admit that the anime is steadily going downhill. There is no point in making 1 hour specials where the second half recaps the first, for that matter there is no reason for episodes to recap events from the same episode, period..!

You must not have seen much anime then... Naruto's just doing the same thing as any ongoing series based off of a manga... if the episodes go by too fast and they catch up with the manga, then they're screwed. Do you not remember the horrors of what happened to Rurouni Kenshin?

heh... don't forget the feng shui ninjas :smile:

About Phantom Dust, it's an X-box game that Microsoft designed specifically for the Japanese market... so it's the typical radioactive post apocalyptic future game where people can fly and shoot stuff out of their hands. It looks like Sparking is copying the basic engine having the game in 3d arenas with the view over your character's shoulder. I doubt it's actually the Phantom Dust director involved in Sparking since it is a Microsoft game... but hey there's plenty of anime games that rip off concepts from popular titles.

Well Syo and Fuchikoma, I am a true anime fan and I surely have seen my fair share of anime, but Naruto is the best, and there's no doubt about it, both the manga and the anime.And actually, the anime won't catch up anytime soon;in fact, they're going to make a temporary break off the air.Let's see if I survive that.

At least taking it off the air for a while will be better than making contiuation errors via fillers. I suppose this is why I'm more leaning to modern short anime that gets the story done in 16-26 episodes nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I was an avid DragonBall fan before the western version (Hong Kong broadcast way back in the 80's), I suppose when you reach that age when you just don't have the energy to wait a week for 2mins of story progression streched to 30mins anymore. Oh, and I'm a Naruto fan too, just the recent direction of the anime is extremely painful...

Yeah man, and go figure that they pulled off the perfect DBZ fighting game on their third and last strike.Third time's a charm, right?And MAYBE even with an exclusive European Collector's Edition(with the Japanese voices) on the way this summer.Wait and see.

To what extent, tho'?

I mean, a universal truth, it is not. The author/s of any original work has/have the rights over it and he/she/they can choose whether any external work based on his/her/their own may be canon or not.

Now, in this specific case, it might be true, of course, what do I know. But, could you just specify a little?

For example:
- Is it Sh. Jump's policy?
- In the case of Naruto/DB, was it Kishimoto/Toriyama himself who claimed so?
- Is there some law/rule/whatever I don't know about that says so?
- Another possibility?

Otherwise, I just won't believe your "reliable source", m'afraid.

You really shouldn't be, as it effectively became the new Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon, so you'll find people who think it is the greatest thing ever pretty much everywhere.


And while I haven't played Phantom Dust, at the time of release I thought the Psychic Force engine would have been great for a DBZ game. Though it instead got used for an X game, that from the look of it pretty much mostly just changed the character models...
