DBZ Budokai, a pleasant surprise.

<strong>I got Budokai last week, if you're into DBZ then get it. I have every capsule in the game so far except Jackhammer (Teen Gohan) and Breakthrough for every character except Teen Gohan and Vegeta. It's pretty sweet but I have a number of problems with it:

1. Power-up poses look stupid, every character has the same thing, they bend over and shake back and forth.

2. All the awesome attacks require a combo before executing.

3. Not serious enough, too playful unlike Final Bout.

4. When you transform your character glows white and just changes within a split second, it would've been cooler if it was like a 3-5 second transformation with the camera panning on the character that is transforming.

5. Capsules are stupid, they were meant to make vehicles and shelter a portability, not for skills, items, and techniques.

6. Some of the music reminds me of the dub. *shudder*

7. Perfect Cell and Perfect Cell (Power-Weighted look exactly the same. SSJ Trunks, Super Trunks, and Super Trunks2 have the exact same hair yet SSJ Vegeta and Super Vegeta look totally different. Final Form and Final Form 100% Power Frieza look the same.

8. Gokou's skin should be a darker tint of red for each stronger multiple of Kaiou-ken yet he keeps his normal skin color.

9. Final Bout's auras look better in my opinion.

10. Voices suck of course.

11. The combos are almost the same for every character.

12. World Tournament Mode isn't multiplayer.

13. No build-mode.

and the list goes on..</strong><hr></blockquote>

When I play a game my list of whether I like it or not goes like this:

The Good

1)It's fun.

The Bad

1)It's not fun.

Simple, huh?

Eh true, but it's good to go in-depth with gaming problems. There's no such thing as a perfect game, no matter how much you love it there's at least one thing wrong. Same thing goes with people, no one is perfect. That's the problem with most gamers today, they're blinded by their own ambition on how "great" a game is. I tend to do the same thing, I feel a game is the greatest ever but once I play it out I really get in the nitty-gritty of what should be improved upon.

Well I like the idea that you have to execute a combo before being able to use a Ki attack. You can also force attacks to be unblockable so it puts a lot of strategy into the game.

Perfect Cell and Ultra Perfect Cell do look different. Final form Frieza and 100% Final form Frieza do look different. I haven't really noticed the things you mentioned about Trunks. You have to remember that there's only muscle growth with Ultra Perfect Cell and 100% Final form Frieza (looks like their previous form but on steroids).

That being mentioned, World Match mode gets boring very quickly. The aim is to knock your opponent "out of bounds", this is quite simple to achieve even on the hardest difficulty. After a long loading screen the matches can last up to minute or be over in seconds. There should have been a way to turn off "out of bounds".

If there was no Story Mode then the game would absolutely suck. Story Mode is always fun to come back to and you do have to defeat your opponent so it's a lot more worth while. Then there's always "The legend of Mr.Satan" mode you can unlock which is fairly poor as well, but fun for the first time.
