Super Dragonball Z......, July 29, 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
While Super Dragonball Z is a worthy game to add to your DBZ game collection and is a blast to play, don't come into it expecting it to have that hyperkinetic flash and energy of other DBZ games(like the Budokai series)or it being a serious technical fighter(like Tekken, Dead or Alive, or Virtua Fighter) because it isn't either one. What it is, however, is a traditional fighting game that feels old school yet new school all at the same time.
Watching the intro to Super Dragonball Z, you can tell a new take is being made on the DBZ universe. Upon playing the game, you realize that a more serious approach has been taken to the battles between our beloved characters from the classic anime series. Characters(18 in all) are placed in free-roaming, destructible sandbox levels(kinda like those in Power Stone)to battle it out. In my honest opinion, I think this form of engine better suits DBZ. It adds alot more strategically to the game. Course, it's good to see Atari having developers come out with new ways to play DBZ. If you want to get the most out of the game, though, you'll first want to create your own character card. There- you'll pick a character from one of the 18 presented, give it a custom name, and choose from a few sets of color palettes. Every time you finish a fight, you're awarded battle points. Getting enough battle points will give you access to a skill tree, where you can customize certain character properties and assign new moves to your character. Playing through the original arcade mode, as well as the survival mode, can get you Dragon Balls. Once you collect all seven Dragon Balls on your character card, you can summon the dragon Shenron, who will grant you a wish, which can range from giving you an additional color palette for your character to unlocking a whole new character. This addition is more than enough reason to keep coming back & playing.
The two biggest gripes I have with Super Dragonball Z is the character list to choose from for battle is just too small and there isn't any story to speak of, just fighting.
Beyond that, Super Dragonball Z does make a good first impression. I hope this isn't the last we see of it.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not the best,ive seen much better,but ive also seen worse, October 8, 2006
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
ok,this game is better than sagas,a lot better,not quite on par with budokai 2 or 3 but about as good as budokai 1 i would say.the character list is very poor there are like maybe 20 people.but they do give you king picolo and chi chi who have never been available before to my knowledge on any other dbz game.one good thing is that they give vegeta a black outfit for once,ive always wanted to see that.
now for the good...
u unlock most anything by collecting the dragonballz and wishing for it which is pretty easy,u set it on original mode beat 7 ppl and and u make a wish at the dragon summoning mode.
now,the controls,there not really that hard to learn but real hard to master i still cant get a galick gun off just whenever i want too i get it maybe every other time at best.
the in between...
the graphics,while not bad,arnt that good either.they kinda of well comic book cartoon looking.
and at last the bad...
frieza is very hard to beat,hes next to last in original mode,but the hardest to beat,cell isnt as hard and he is last.moves are kinda hard too do,like super saiyan ive never seen anything wrong with pushing the r1 and r2 buttons to do it,on hear i cant ever do it,and even one u do get it right i swear is lasts no more than 15 seconds and it wears off.
but it is fun to play,and u really dont even need super saiyan that much anyway

My Last PS2 Game!, September 25, 2006
A Kid's Review
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
You know since there are next generation consoles coming out (which one of them is already out), I just wanted to see which game I wanted to make my last PS2 game, and I saw that Atari is coming out with another DBZ game and I just felt like making this my last game because Dragon Ball Z is something I liked since I was 13 and DragonBallZ has always been the best classic Anime around and now with the PS3, The Nintendo Wii coming out in November, and the system that is already out the XBOX 360, this was the best choice I have made since I am a huge DBZ fan. I give Super Dragon Ball Z (my last PS2 game) a 4 out of 5.
