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.

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.

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

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--

If your a fan of the Dragonball Z tenkaichi games, then you will have a good time with this game. The only down hills in this game, are the fact that you can't use ultimate gohan and there are like 10 important characters missing from the game and the story mode is really long. And goku's Dragon fist is not in the game. Other than that this game is still fun, I give this game a 5/5.

This is the best DBZ game Ive ever played since DBZ Super sonic Warriors. This game is high speed action packed greatness. I just brought this yesterday and I'am loving it. You have over 70 character's in this game, and there all very great. Also? Their's SS3 Vegeta and SS3 Broly in this game in what if mode. Their's destructable enviorment's were you can beat your oppenet half silly. Actually? Full silly. This doesn't have GT or DB character's just the fresh DBZ character's.

This game has the Sayian saga, Frieza saga, Bardock saga, Android saga, and the Buu saga. Then their's the legendary super sayian saga and what if saga. What if saga is basically a saga where you do something that never happened in the serie's. For example. Their was never a SS3 Vegeta nor SS3 Broly in the DBZ movie's or serie's. Vageito and Gogeta never had a fight in the serie's either. And then kid trunk's never faced his future self either, and so on and so on. All that is in The what if saga.

Then You unlock SS3 Vegeta and SS3 Broly and you get to fight as them. Their's Museum where you can view the character's information and play their voice's and show replay's of the battle's you did with the Computer or friend you played in versus mode. Dojo is where you train to get better and learn attack's. Online mode is great too. There's world tournament where you can fight up to 16 player's. There's Super battle Trial where you fight ranked matches. This game is extreamly fun and you won't get bored of it. Buy this game.

Why the heck does amazon keep changing the price!I saved up for it and then BAM Amazon makes the price go up when the price had been the same for days! AND IT KEEPS GOING HIGHER.This always happens whenever I save up something.Why does amazon keep doing this?If they keep this up NO ONE will order anything -_-

I bought this game for my little bro for his birthday and he loves it! Great for his age as well. He's 10.

This game is awesome, has hrs and hrs of fun.. to finish this game.. would take a good while.. has plenty of characters.. yes some are missing, in all dragon ball z games.. theres always some missing.. but not the really important ones..

the graphics are superb! the setup is different, u will get use to it, on easy, its kind.. of easy at first, u will have to play in level hard to get cooler stuff.. which in time.. it will become easy to you.

theres lots of option, they have the world tournament, vs each other, vs cpu, they have regular, and super sayans, bad guys, they have a what if section, buu saga, androids, etc.. just about all of them, gohan learning how to fight, mini games, practice, its tons of fun, the more u seek, the more u find

great game for ONE player specially and TWO players at times..

Dragon ball has not changed much since the first budokai tenkaichi. The only difference between this one and Tenkaichi 3 is that super/ultimate moves are controlled with the right stick. Oh and there are LESS characters to choose from. Tenkaichi 3 was better. While the game was still moderately fun, dragon ball is dead to me as far as I'm concerned, unless they step it up with the innovation...
