DESCRIPTION
It's time for round three, in Dragon Ball Z's ongoing battle of Good versus Evil on PlayStation 2. Like the first two editions of the title, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 is a 3D fighting game featuring the super-powered, dimension-hopping heroes and villains of the popular anime series. Unlike its immediate predecessor, Budokai 3 is presented in a more conventional fighting game format, without the extra board-game interface. The game features four main modes: a "Training" mode to practice moves, a one-on-one "Duel" mode, an arcade-style "World Tournament," and a "Dragon Universe" mode that follows a storyline and encourages character development.
Though based on the mechanics of the first two games, the fighting itself has been enhanced, with new interactive arenas, defensive maneuvers, ki attacks, and the opportunity to develop a favorite character into an extremely powerful brawler by playing through the RPG-style series of battles. As players customize a character, they'll receive passwords based on the fighter's current state. These passwords can be traded over the Internet, effectively allowing gamers to export their custom-developed characters and import characters developed by other Budokai 3 players. ~ T.J.

“Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 was the first fighting game I ever actually spent money on. That must say something about this game as I'm generally very picky about my fighters. I didn't know a game inspired by a show could have such good fighting mechanics and a very sleek sexy style in graphics. The roster was absolutely insane as well, however, you usually didn't use most of them because they couldn't be nearly as powerful as others.
All in all the secret to fighting games being largely successful to me is being addictive and easy to pick up. This game delivers entirely and I put it in the same class as Dissidia Final Fantasy for original addictive fighting games.”

“We've all fantasized about blowing away city blocks by shooting lasers from our hands, and this game is the best way to do it! :D The controls are tops and the combat is innovative and very well-handled. An absolute must for any DBZ fan.”

“Getting really sick of playing Budokai 3 with younger cousin, his entire strategy seems to revolve around SPAMing overpowered "Death Move"s and "Ultimate Attack"s.”

“Enjoyed the story mode (Dragon Universe) some. Younger cousin plays very cheaply and insists on playing Budokai 3 as much as possible.”

“Played Budokai 3 with cousins, younger cousin is crazy about it, so we wound up playing it over and over.”
