Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi - Playstation 2 (Released October 6th 2005)
This is the first of the Tenkaichi series to come from the Dragon Ball Z games and contains enough gameplay to keep a gamer occupied for around 2 weeks or so, maybe more. With 56 fully playable characters and 16 stages of battle, each of these battle grounds are all made up of elements relevant to the animated series of Dragon Ball Z. Right from the beginning to the end of the show, with tutorials and practice matches it doesnt matter if you have seen or played previous Dragon Ball/ Dragon Ball Z games, controllers are very easy and adept to use.
Some battles seem impossible, some matches end in under a minute, whether your fighting in the sky, under water, ground or in a different dimension it always remains action packed. It doesnt get harder as you fight your way through the game, its a good "beat or be beat game" either way, watching your favourite characters coming through victorious is always a good thing.
You can replay each and every single battle which occurs in the show, which is a great feature for any Dragon Ball Z fan, as well as being able to collect the Dragon Balls to unlock hints, tips, cheats and a selection of others, this all adds on to the fairness adventure of the game.
I personally really enjoy this game's features such as the 3D destructable surroundings and the gradual "Look how you feel" as you're health decreases the appearance of the character becomes more rugged. Could be referred to as a "Faster Tekken". It's a real controller buster, before starting a game be sure to have an array of controllers and nerves of steel!
Negatives are as follows:- An extortionate amount of loading screens, frequent pauses and jams whilst selecting character, very annoying music! no auto saves, but the most unappealing about this is the lack of valuable cut scenes that are very important to non watchers of the series!
I strongly recommend that any Dragon Ball Z fan should try this game out.
Score : 9.5/10
