I’m really not into fighting games but one game has really caught my attention: Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai. I love the Dragonball Z cartoon series. In fact it’s one of my favorite anime when I was young. I mean who doesn’t love Goku?

The game has great polygonal cartoon graphics which you will love. The characters are colorful and I love the background. For the gameplay, you can choose between the story mode and the arcade mode. Or you can hone your skills on the training mode. I have finished until chapter 5 of the Dragon Road with the help of Robert. There are a lot of unlockable characters like Gogeta and the super Saiyan versions of Goku, Vegeta and the other characters.

The story mode called the Dragon Road gives out a lot of surprises. Characters from the Freeza saga to the Dragon Ball GT, appears on the game on multiple forms. Here, the dead villains are ressurected from hell and come back to earth. You’re mission is to defeat Janenba and close the hole in hell. Each character has different special powers so you won’t get bored on the game.

Well here are some screenshots I took from the game.
