Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for Nintendo Wii
This game is a dragonball fan’s dream come true as it boasts a stunning roster of over 150 available fighters, competing in planet shattering battles over a variety of stages. Even for those who scoff at the idea of dragonball will be compelled by the games fun fighting style. The controls are relatively intuitive and the special moves are very true to the show. Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has a very simple control layout; A to punch, B for ki blasts, C and Z to fly up and down. Combos are relatively easy to pull off and the flashy special attacks are performed by replicating the show’s counterpart with the wiimote. For example, to do a kamehameha, you perform the motions of a kamehameha with the wiimote while holding left on the d-pad. While this may seem like a catastrophic decision, the results end up being much funner and less gimmicky than you might expect from a licensed Wii fighting game. The graphics are great especially considering that the game was co-developed for both the wii and ps2, and it has a very DBZ feel. Sound effects are a bit grainy but still set the tone nicely. The funimation cast appears to represent the english dub and do a good job at representing the characters. While it is nice to have an english voice cast, the original japanese cast is optional if you want that authentic DBZ feel. Overall this game’s a fun experience for fighting game enthusiasts, and a must buy for dragonball fans around the globe.
