    El mejor juego de Dragon Ball Z. Su diseño y gameplay no se comparan con las nuevas entregas de Dragon Ball, hablando de su fidelidad al anime/manga. Con mas de 161 personajes en el roster (contando fusiones y transformaciones) y con una historia no muy bien implementada o llevada a cabo como en su antecesor DBZ BT2. Es uno de los mejores juegos de Dragon Ball en mi opinión

    Masterpiece game. The story is so enjoyable, scoring is really great, visual is decent, and the voice is stunning

    Honestly if awesome games were illegal, playing this game would be a crime. The reason why I like it is that the gameplay, storytelling and control is great (in my opinion). If I had the chance to play it again for the first time, I will.

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 teve um total de vendas globais em 0,94 e 3 milhões para as versões Wii e PlayStation 2, respectivamente. O jogo também recebeu boas avaliações por muitos sites. O IGN deu nota 8 para as duas versões, e disse que "Dragon Ball Z tem dado alguns dos melhores lutadores de anime na história dos jogos", e fez comparativos com Budokai Tenkaichi 2, dizendo queDragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 teve um total de vendas globais em 0,94 e 3 milhões para as versões Wii e PlayStation 2, respectivamente.

Você tinha todas as sagas, cada batalha possível de cada episódio da série, e uma lista interminável de lutas por causa disso. A apresentação foi simples, mas a recompensa foi enorme. O melhor jogo de luta estava prestes a surgir. Expand

    The game has so many characters, the animations, expression of the characters, little details, made the game unique and memorable, is a very good game.

    The definitive version of all the Tenkaichi games and the most complete. The story mode is not nearly as good as Budokai 3, but still pretty fun. The most notable thing is the inclusion of giant characters like Hiredugarn and Ape Baby.

    I played this game as a kid a lot and now I'm playing it is an adult and it is really Heart pumping to play it.

    Graphics still looks very good and the musics are excellent I enjoyed Character models in and environments and very good created. Combat on the higher difficulties is inten you have to be in the enemies face all the time and keep fighting it is really hard and satisfying

    This game has the most amazing.character roster in Dragon Ball history I have never seen so many playable characters in one game and even if they are really unbalanced. They are fun to play.

    this is the best game of the dragon ball games and Budokai Tenkaichi series is also the best series, compared to the other dragon ball series.
    beautiful techniques and movements and fighting giants which let you satisfy after any match, unlike the other dragon ball games.

    the good thing in this game is all characters are almost balanced. even the giants you can defeat him by any character and reverse, except a few characters they are too weak around 5,
    They trying to make it similar to that Raging blast series but it was not good and not like Budokai Tenkaichi series
    i hope from bandai namco making remaster or remaking the Budokai Tenkaichi series .

    My favorite DBZ game and in my opinion undoubtedly claims a spot in the top 3 DBZ games of all time. Also even presently presents a unique and often ignored approach to what a fighting game can be.

    Minha nota pra esse jogo fantástico só não é 10 porque ele é muito desbalanceado na questão da qualidade dos seus personagens. O jogo tem mais de 160 personagens e desses no máximo uns 50 são bons e o restante é péssimo, isso pra um jogo de luta é bem decepcionante e conta muito.

O jogo tem mais de 160 personagens e desses no máximo uns 50 são bons e o restante é péssimo, isso pra um jogo de luta é bem decepcionante e conta muito. Outro ponto negativo na minha opinião é que o modo história do jogo não encanta. Ele é curto, e não detalha toda a história da franquia cortando muitas lutas importantes como Gotenks contra Buu ou Gohan contra Buu por exemplo. Sem falar que a maioria dos personagens já vem desbloqueados, tirando a graça de jogar o modo história pra justamente desbloqueá-los. Tirando isso, o jogo acerta em tudo, e não preciso me alongar pra descrever, pois quem jogou sabe. Ele trabalha com uma fidelidade gigantesca à obra original e passa uma sensação digna de como é o universo de Dragon Ball. Tem modos de jogo muito interessantes e que divertem. E a liberdade nas lutas em voar, carregar o ki e soltar poderes trazem uma satisfação pros fãs que nenhum jogo de luta 2D conseguiu dar além de FighterZ. É o melhor jogo de luta 3D da história sem sobra de dúvidas, e o mais importante jogo de Dragon Ball já feito. As criticas sobra a "jogabilidade difícil" pra mim não passam de uma grande bobagem. Preguiça de ir ao tutorial do jogo e aprender sobre como a mecânica funciona. Finalizando, esse jogo marcou minha vida com o PlayStation 2 e eu o amo muito. Expand

    É o jogo com melhor jogabilidade e com mais fidelidade ao que é nos apresentado referente ao universo de Dragon Ball Z.
    As lutas são impecavelmente divertidas, o jogo é extremamente recheado de conteúdo e, mesmo sendo de mais de 10 anos atrás, envelheceu bem demais!

    Has a large number of characters which is fun, however that hardly matters when besides animation differences there are only 3 types of moves that all behave the same

    Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 It is by far one of the best games in the franchise, if not the best.

  1. Undeniably the best DBZ game to date. The fighting engine has been considerably deepened, the Dragon History mode is flawed but great, and the graphics far surpass the anime.

    After three games, you should know by now that this series is primarily for longtime fans, and they have plenty to like. [Holiday 2007, p.82]
  3. The game isn't great, but it delivers the goods for the fans, and that's all it really needs to do.
