If Dragon Ball franchise is not more squeezed in the world of anime is at least top 3, especially in the world of video games which gives rise to at least one game a year. In fact, 2012 is the first time since 2002 that a new fighting game of this universe does not reach the market and still had time to release a game for the Kinect. While Namco Bandai is promoting Dragon Ball Z for the Kinect as one for casual fans, Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection, an HD version of the PS2 games, the game is facing the most serious fan of Dragon Ball Z. The question is whether this collection is worth or not worth.
Even though the Budokai games are a trilogy on the PS2, this collection includes only Dragon Ball Z Budokai and Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, so the question remains: Where is Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2? It's an HD collection, and all games have been released on PS2, then it would be expected that he was there. Namco Bandai's official statement on the matter is that Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 was "more than a fighting game", so it was discarded. Still, it would have been nice to have been included in the package, as the series is to celebrate, no matter if they are very different from each other. While acknowledging the inferiority of the second title is a hole in the collection that did not please me in the slightest.

"The Dragon Ball franchise is in a weird state.
As noted in my review on Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, there’s something about the franchise that has been able to maintain its rather overwhelmingly large and dedicated fanbase for decades since its debut back in 1984. And yet, the games have always had a hard time of capturing the core of the franchise, of making what could be called the quintessential must-have, be-all, end-all Dragon Ball game, though many have captured a part of it. But there’s just something so epic, so grand in scope, that’s hard to dissect and contain in one disc, cartridge, cassette and on. At least, so far.
So how do you make the a better Dragon Ball game? What kind of steps can be taken to revive the franchise, to invigorate it, as if resurrected by the dragon balls of game development? And how can future games bring something new to the table?"
I want a DBZ game with every DBZ character and gameplay like dbz budokai tenkaichi 3 with graphics like dbz ultimate tenkaichi or better!
Yes, how many times are gamers going to relive the Freiza saga. Time to move on, that story is told the exact same way every time.
We need a completely new story or saga that is exclusive to consoles, with all new villains for Goku and his friends to fight.
And alternate storyline would be really nice to be honest. DBZ/DBGT are pretty old and the stories are tired. Going the Full Metal:Brotherhood route would be nice and would help the entire franchise out.
Smash Brothers Style With DBZ Characters.
After doing 40% damage character can do a KAI attack.
Kai Attacks can push players off maps ect
A K/O Punch off map would be @ 300% Dmg
Characters feel heavier when not flying
they can fly but getting knocked off map is easier
something like that.
Chadley, Tristan and Marshall of Punch Nerds pick up and pop in a copy of the HD remake of Dragonball Z Budokai 3 on the PS3 and discuss the power of mustaches, unwarranted pride and the horrifying idea of quick time events.
