What can I say?
This is an awesome game.
It has tons of characters, better graphics, fun Wii controls, team battles in story, night and day stages, play as bad guys on story, better customizing system allowing you to ad flight ability to Dragonball characters who can't fly, Better character selection screen with better drawings, and better music. Put all of these things together you get a great game that you know that once you beat it you'll come back again and again.

Pros
1. Good controls. I have played with both the classic controller and wiimote. The classic controller gives you greater control but isn't as fun as using the wiimote. The wiimote controls are not just tacked on. They put a lot of time in making wiimote work with this game. The one problem is some moves are really hard to do with the wiimote but once you get the timing down you'll be ok. Oh yeah even though some moves are harder on the wiimote others are a lot easier but with that said no moves are hard using the classic controller.

2. The graphics. I know this looks bad compared to the stuff you see on PS3 or xbox but I still like the look of this game. It basically looks like the cartoon and I want to feel like I'm fighting in the cartoon.

3. The game itself. Yeah this thing is not easy. You might want to play this on easy. I like it this way but a lot of little kids are going to want this game and it will be way beyond them.

4. Sound. You can pick English or Japanese and both sound like the cartoon.

5. Options. There are many options in this game and people to unlock.

Cons
1. Dragon History. This is the story mode. I don't like the way it was done. I wanted to play from the start of the anime to the end. The way they do it is you fight in some of the key battles of the anime.

2. Online games lag. I'm not sure if it is distance between me and the person I'm fighting or something wrong with nintendo.


All in all this is a great DBZ game. I consider it one of the top 10 wii games out right now.

go it for my son as a birthday present, This is the first DB game in wich the actual power of eah caracter is revealed, nothing like the ones for the GC, where all received and gave the same level of damage with their attacs.
for example broly its practically unbeatable in this game, and the damage that the sayans can give/receive varies with the level in wich they are transformed into.
you will see all the caracters from dbz and gt.
The controls in this game are something else, get the wireless nunchuck adapter for this one (your kids will love it)

If you do not plan on playing this game online then I would say go for it! The controls are much improved over the last version and there are tons of new characters and transformations to play with.

If you are buying this because of the online game play then DO NOT PURCHASE!!! Online barely works on this game. It is incredibly laggy for everyone who tries to use it and a fix has not been released yet even though Nintendo and Atari are both aware of the problem.

Game is great for any DBZ lovers out there. I have a hard time pulling of all the moves using the wii remote and there are some timing issues with movements that slow the game play down. But all in all the game rocks and is good for hours of entertainment. If you're getting it for the online play don't bother the lag is unbearable.

I remember 1-2 years after the release of the game, when you could find it in stores for $20. Many people felt disappointed by the game mechanics, outdated graphics and online lag (well, the lag is still there...). I am not going to write a detailed review about the game itself here. Suffice to say that in my opinion "Budokai Tenkaichi 3" is not only a fun fighting game, but also a DRAGON BALL INTERACTIVE ENCYCLOPEDIA. 161 playable characters, each one with background story. Every Dragon Ball fan should own this game, to enjoy it as it is but to also have it as a character knowledge database.

Current owners, hold on to your copy, because prices are pretty steep these days... :)

The game (Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3) was everything I hoped it would be. I am very satisfied with it.

I got this game after my friend who is a long time DBZ fan let me play it with him. I liked it so much that I was glad to pay the $40 for it. I used to not be too good, but after playing for a couple months, I have concluded that this is hands down the best fighter I have ever played. SSBB has no chance against this game. It is complex enough (very)for the gaming freak, but simple enough so after a few hours of playing, you can play. They boast about how they have over 150 characters, which is true, but most are really useless, like the Saibamen. You have the ability to equip items onto a character of choice, to up your attack, health, and many more tweaks for your character. That makes the game really fun!!! The online feature is terrible, which is why I rated 4 stars. I do not use online at all, but the fact that I paid for that feature and it doesn't works kind of irritates me. Try to buy this game for $30-$40, after that, you should just wait to get Ultimate Tenkaichi for X-Box 360/ PlayStation 3. The best DBZ game out now, so if you're a fan, or you want to enter the realm of DBZ, OR you just want a new fighting game, you should buy this game.

My son saved up for this game for a long time. I was worried that he would not like it and regret paying so much for it. My son loves this game!!! He had no complaints. It came in perfect condition too! Thanks.

This was bought for a gift and the kids love it! They still play it, which I guess I can condsider myself lucky to keep up on what they like!
