The Dragonball series was a no brainer in this respect, finding instant success with fans and casual gamers alike. In terms of how this title plays, it continues the usual open plan area for battles that the series has built its success on. The closest comparisons outside of the series would be the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series or the more recent title, Jump Force which is a culmination of all the best anime fighters from each respective series. Much like Goku and company do in the series, this title aims to harness the power of previous titles to deliver another reason for players to invest more money.
The game also aims to up production value by integrating scripted audio seamlessly. Though what this actually does is dilute the overall experience. Only two characters will be shown on screen at once due to performance restrictions, leading to script off-camera. It seems unnatural and pulls you out of the action. Not to mention the skimming that is done in the storytelling department.
The game seriously cuts down on the less essential fights which simply lowers the content on offer for the player. These games thrive on the player being able to pin any fighter against each other and not making this fit into the story like in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is criminal. One thing that has never been questioned for this game series is its attention to detail aesthetically and this continues in Dragonball-Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
This game has wonderful cell-shaded environments and flawlessly animated depictions of the anime characters. Each model is expertly captured and the subtle additions this time out such as wear and tear on armour and clothing when using fusions or going super Saiyan is phenomenal. Then the special moves look brilliant too. They look refined and polished, staying true to the anime in that respect. The sound quality is great too, the music ramps up with the battle, adding to the intensity as you edge closer and closer to a famous victory.
One thing that has remained in this title from the last outing is the sheer volume of game modes. You have the main campaign jam packed with all the sagas from the anime. Then you have a tag tournament that sees you fight multiple opponents at once.
You have the sim dragon mode that acts as a training arena and then you also have to collect all the Dragonballs too. While there is a cavalcade of stuff to keep you entertained, it has to be said that not all the content is riveting and can feel like a chore at times. Making the player feel one with the characters, environments and movements on screen.
The downside to this one is that the story is hard to follow due to the presentation choice of still imagery. Plus the combat although improved, still lacks the complexity and balance of the top games within the fighting genre. Overall though, this is an incredible title for fans of the Dragonball anime and will even offer hours of fun for casual fans if they look past the fact that the story may pass them by at times.
