    In my opinion this game sucks. It's basically a Budokai 2 rip-off and really needs to brush up on it's skills. The music is half-bad and the controls sucks. It's basically a Mario crossover with that 2D scrolling section with 3D turning and a 1D point of view. Sucks.

    A good game of Dragon Ball Z, the same style of the other but the others have MORE, MORE and MORE characters!! This game does not have the Buu Saga, the online is not very good and the game doesn`t have trophies

    Dragonball lazy disappointment is a better name for this game. Did they fire all developers who worked on Budokai Tenkaichi?

    After putting all series in the Tenkaichi games, they decided to go back to Budokai 1 in terms of content, but also **** up the camera in combat.

    After putting all series in the Tenkaichi games, they decided to go back to Budokai 1 in terms of content, but also **** up the camera in combat. If you survive the epileptic attack you'll get from watching cut scenes during a fight (yes, there's actual cut scenes in the middle of the fight) you'll be watching animations of moves that, other than looking like a spectacle, just mean you are not actually fighting!

    The freedom players had in Tenkaichi is completely gone, as it is a side scroller now with heavy limitations on movement. Why? Who thought this was a good idea?

    It feels like 6 steps back, and a way to get money from gullable fans. i cannot recommend this game at all, just buy any of the Tenkaichi games instead. The game functions without bugs, but that means it is boring by design.

    It is a bad game, i give it a 4/10.    … Expand

    It's nice to play a game that manages to be fun for the hardcore and casual alike. [Summer 2008, p.48]

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit managed to really impress me. It's not perfect but it's a fast, over-the-top fighter that's an absolute blast. The single-player Z Chronicles mode is perfect for hardcore fans and the multiplayer options are good enough that you'll want to call your friends over for a few matches.

    Get rid of the drama, though, and Burst Limit becomes a delight. [July 2008, p.78]
