You all should know the truth about a certain something.
For the record, I'm not a kid, I'm simply posting under this status because I'm too busy to register at the moment. Anyway, the point of this post is a warning to all of you about Amazon and how it's selling Budokai 3. If this site ever happens to sport the cover of the "Greatest Hits" version, then Amazon is false advertising. They don't have the GH version to sell and they'll simply send a copy of the original November 2004 release instead. Read all about this business here: [...]
Here's a fantastic editorial detailing everything you need to know about the Greatest Hits version of the game: [...]
As you can tell, it's obviously an upgraded version, containing many different and new elements. In a sense, it's an entirely different game. Don't order Budokai 3 from Amazon if you're expecting the Greatest Hits release, you'll only get shafted with the original. You've all been warned.

Much Better than Number Two
Okay Dragon Ball Z has made a few good games over the past few years, this is another one of them, Budokia 3 naturally improves the 2-d fighting with, making everyones move diffrent in there own way, puts in new characters, and gives you a great mode call Dragon Universe. The graphic are comicy and cartoony just like theshow and the game engine not bad, I did wish that maybe there be a little more characters, and that they put real cut scenes instead of diolauge with the picture but overall I loved it and found it to be quite addicting.

Well Designed Fighting Game
Dragon Ball Z - Budokai 3 follows in the footsteps of games 1 and 2. Part fighting game, part story mode RPG, you get to fully involve yourself in the Dragon Ball Z universe.
There is a huge number of characters available here, both major and minor. There's a large world that you can fly around completely freely, as compared with the previous versions that stuck you on a set board.
The graphics are cel shaded very distinctly "cartoony" main characters against a more gentle painted background / landscape. The animations are smooth and in keeping with the series style.
The music is a bit tinny - I think they could have done better and still been true to the series - but since many fighting games have completely atrocious music, I can't criticize that too much.
Of course we can say that Dragon Ball Z fans will love this game, and play it for years and years without stopping. It's impressive that this game even holds up very well for people who have never seen Dragon Ball Z. You learn about the game world as you go, and have great fun fighting.
Once you unlock all the characters and battlefields, there's still more customization to do and skills to perfect. It really is a game that you can replay for months.
Well Recommended.

Best of Budokai
I got this game just about a week ago, and it was so awsome! I have a tip: to unlock #16, first beat Krillin's Dragon Universe Mode once. Then do it again, and at one point in the Namek saga there'll be 2 red dots on your map. Go to the one to the right and you'll have a conversation with Captain Ginyu/Frog. Proceed through Story Mode as usual. After the Namek saga, you'll discover that you can now play the Android saga! Go to Earth's southernmost chain of islands until you find the plains. Go there and you'll have a conversation with Trunks and #16. Fly to west city and you'll speak with Bulma. After the speech is over, you get #16! I don't see anything wrong with this game, except this: I CAN'T USE ANY SKILLS! I SET THEM IN MY TRAY BUT I CAN'T USE THEM! WHY!? WHY!? Overall, this is a very good game. I'm glad to be able to do something than fight all the time, flying around in Dragon Universe is fun!

Best of the Budokai series.
I think that Budokai 3 is by far the best game in the budokai series for PS2. The one-player story mode is excellent. After being subjected to B2's horrid board-game-style story mode, B3's was a refreshing improvement. I liked the fact that you're able to freely fly around the overworld map and search for dragonballs, capsules, and fights. The events are different depending on where you are and who you are playing, staying very true to the series. Furthermore, B3 has added a really great leveling-up system which allows you to customize your characters as you fight and gain experience. This keeps the game interesting and replayable.
The gameplay itself is quite enjoyable. The controls are similar to the previous game's, with the addition of some new moves and flexibility. While not complete, the character list is still good, even bringing in some characters from the movies and GT. The graphics are clean and bright, with cel-shaded characters and nice-looking animations. The camera angles are logical and appealing. My only complaints: a longer character list would have been nice, and I also would have liked the option of having the Japanese voices. Overall, B3's a really great fighting game, particularly if you're a fan of DBZ.
