this made me regret spending $50+ bucks on itMar 09, 2010
By J. Morgan I wanted a DBZ game for my PS3 and after finding out it had a bit more sagas than Burst Limit, I got this.
The camera angles are beyond terrible. Good luck to anyone focusing on your opponent when you end up near a wall.
Buttons/commands won't work most of the time and that really sucks when you need them the most.
There is only ONE set of combos per character so 9 times out of 10 you'll end up using Super attacks just to finish the battle.
No screams when they power up. wtf it just looks hella weird.
Battles/playing with characters in the story mode idgaf about. (I really could have cared less about Yamcha/Tien/Chiaotzu fighting a dead Ginyu Force)
Not worth replaying the story mode over and over to get stars. (Goku's alternate outfits are not THAT important)
WAIT until this game is 19.99$ or less, or wait for the sequal which is hopefully 100x better

Great for DBZ fans.Jul 25, 2010
By Nick A great game with very few flaws. The combat is fun, and there's alot of content. The graphics are great if you like cell-shading. The camera isn't nearly as bad as some people claim, though it can be bothersome. The trophies are also quite difficult; don't be expecting a platinum anytime soon.
Overall, this was an awesome game. I definitely recommend it for DBZ fans.

Very disappointing compared to BT3Nov 15, 2009
By Maria P. Green I run a DBZ News Channel on YouTube and for the last 5 months I've been mostly reporting and anticipating what I thought would be the best game ever.
I was VERY disappointed in this game. Now I played the Wii version of Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and after playing this. Wow. I'm disappointed.
PROS: - The graphics are great. - Option to switch to Japanese audio - Plenty to do (modes) - Stages are larger - Online World Tournament can be fun - Super Attack Customization
CONS (ESPECIALLY LACK OF DEPTH): - They took out way too many combos from BT3, it's ridiculous. YOU END UP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, USUALLY SUPER ATTACKS. There's just no depth to this game, (there was a bit more in BT3) and I just got bored spamming Super Attacks. - The camera in battle is just really awful, you're going to get horrible angles almost every fight that ruins the fun. - There are way less characters and stages, and some important characters like Ultimate Gohan are gone. - There is framerate problems and unresponsive control problems, doing Super Rising only works like 1/2 the time. - Everything is more stiff and much slower-paced than BT3. - The Story Mode combines the worst elements of BT2 and BT3. BT2's story mode was incredibly long, but well told. BT3's story mode was incredibly short, but poorly told (although it wasn't trying to, which was fine and enjoyable by me). Dragon Battle Collection IS LONG AND POORLY TOLD. To even get the story you have to read a paragraph recap. - Collecting stars by replaying each Story Mode battle 3 times just isn't worth it. - The controls are completely revamped, and in my opinion are not as good. - I have a great internet connection and there was many communication errors while playing Online Mode, although there wasn't lag it was just hard to actually get to a battle. - Playing Online may not be worth it because your opponent is most likely going to spam Super Attacks, which I can't blame since there's barely anything else you can do. - Super Battle Trial is incredibly tedious to complete. - Not enough new things added. Super Rising, Crashing into Walls, 2 new stage destructibility features and a really gimmicky weather change is it.
I'm disappointed in this game. Raging Blast 2 better be awesome, or its back to Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for me.

Raging Buyer Things you must know before buying!May 31, 2010
By Jeffrey Benford Jr. As a DBZ fan, it hurts to be this honest, but someone has to do it. I loved this game when I was going through the training, but as I played the Dragonball story missions, I noticed glitches, lagging and if you're planning on completing all of the sagas, there are some things you must know because you WILL notice them.
Pros ~ crazy game detail it's amazing how you can see the faces of the opponents as you deliver a heavy blow.
~ Added features! Like instant teleportation (or vanishing) whenever you want. You can't teleport close to your opponent if your far away, thought.
~ moves don't cover the whole battlefield like the other games.
~ Newly added moves called "signature skills" that are the hallmarks of the characters. Instant tagging with other teammates. The designers have also included a tagging interception ability among other
~ manga-like cut scenes. I enjoy watching them. Also the opening cut scenes can be skipped-- there's nothing more annoying than unskippable cut scenes.
~ Never before seen characters One word. Super Saiyan 3 Broly. Okay, maybe 3 words.
~ Amazing intricate customization system. It's like a game in a game.
~ many game story scenarios-- I think there's one for every DBZ episode where there was fighting.
~ awesome loading game-- now you can get money while waiting for your game to load.
Cons
-- VEXING GAMEPLAY At least once every 3 games, the game camera will loose you and your opponent, leaving you to blindly fight yourself out of a corner.
the action is off-- -- that is-- there is a lag between combos. This is especially obvious when your trying to link combos together.
-- Sometimes your melee attacks cause damage, but your opponents don't flinch. This sometimes happens when you're trying to link combos together.
-- Online versus: INSANE online competition that takes advantage of game flaws.
Game is not as universal as previous versions limited amount of combos not as many characters as the games before. -- laggiy moves Some moves have a HUGE lag after you do them.
-- Sometimes impossible mission goals. The game sometimes requires you hit your opponent with moves within a 5 second time span. The problem is-- the time to perform these actions, called "perfect actions", comes without warning. So, when the game tells you to use the ultimate attack, you have 5 seconds to power up to the max, find your opponent, and successfully use the attack.
-- glitch automatic lock off Sometimes, your moves don't hit your opponent. You fight right past them as though they sidestepped-- but they didn't. This happens a lot when you start combos as your opponent gets up.
-- Perfect Actions: These are moves you must successfully hit your opponent with in a 5 second time span. The problem is, if you're opponent is in the middle of a combo, or dashing away from you, or you don't have enough energy to complete the action-- you're screwed. I once had to repeat a mission 5 times.
-- objective glitches Sometimes you will complete an objective, but the game will not show it as completed. The voice acting is SO synchronized with the actual mouth movement, it is ridiculous.
-- Mission replay If you want to complete any saga past the Saiyan Saga, you're going to have to repeat missions to earn "stars" which can help you buy missions to complete other sagas. This means you're going to have to complete each mission at least TWICE (assuming you never fail) Each bonus objective completed in addition to beat a mission has 3 stars
Trophies-- If you want that platinum-- and we all do--

Awesome game. Could be longer/better.Nov 17, 2009
By Diana C. Gomez
"i'm really a dude, used my moms card"
As a DBZ fan, when I first heared of this game I couldn't wait to play it. And after a month of digging up as much info as I could, my hype for it was swaying up and down. This game is the best DBZ game for PS3, after the joke that was Burst Limit. There are many things that make this game worthy of it's price, but other flaws that kill it's potential. I'll start with the good things:
Pros: Graphics are unbelievable. Very focused and quick. The ki blasts could use a little work, but they aren't terrible, they're good enough.
They follow the story line well. And have a good amount of Battles to go with each saga.
Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta/Broly!
Tons of other fun modes: Story, Versus, Touney, Dragonball collection, Destruction, Team battle, Survival, K.O. Challange and a couple more.
Cons: During battles in story modes, there is dialog from the anime being played. This kinda ruins the intensity of the fight, (Ex: During the fight with Jeice and Vegeta, the dialog of Jeice was being played, while in the battle I hit him with an ultimate attack. There's no way Jeice would be talking smack after Vegeta used Big Bang on him.)
For those who aren't too good with hand/eye coordination: The controls are funky, having to press 2 buttons at once just to elivate, Sway from punches and make quick counter attacks. This wasn't necissarily a problem for me, but I can understand how some people may find it difficult.
As awesomely fun as the game is, it's just not long enough. I started playing at 3 on a Saturday and was done by Sunday night (this was with breaks to have quick versus games with characters I'd unlocked). Also, in the "What If" section, some of the scenarios they came up with were just plain lousy (ex: Trunks and Vegeta vs. Goten and Goku all because of a peice of candy).
Not enough Characters. After BT3, I was hoping to have more than 70 characters. It's not the worst, but still, I'd like to have: Garlic Jr, King Vegeta, King Cold, Master Roshi, Uub, Pui Pui, Dabura, Hercule, etc...
This last one isn't really a flaw, more of a personal peeve. After unlocking all the characters I placed certain ones against eachother in Versus (ex: Bardock/Goku, Krillin/18, Gohan/Goku, Goten, Videl, Bardock, Vegeta/Teen Trunks, Trunks w/sword, Kid Trunks, and most of them have the one opening dialog, which kinda sucks. I've put Krillin and 18 together about 6 times and they always open with the same lines, it needs variaty in there.
That's about it. Overall, you see what I rated the game. I think it's worth the price, because it's very addictive. It's even better if you have some friends that want to play Versus with you for a couple of hours. Much fun, get it and enjoy it while you can.
