As a DBZ fan, it hurts to be this honest, but someone has to do it. I loved this game when I was going through the training, but as I played the Dragonball story missions, I noticed glitches, lagging and if you're planning on completing all of the sagas, there are some things you must know because you WILL notice them.

Pros

~ crazy game detail

it's amazing how you can see the faces of the opponents as you deliver a heavy blow.

~ Added features!

Like instant teleportation (or vanishing) whenever you want. You can't teleport close to your opponent if your far away, thought.

~ moves don't cover the whole battlefield like the other games.

~ Newly added moves called "signature skills" that are the hallmarks of the characters.

Instant tagging with other teammates. The designers have also included a tagging interception ability among other

~ manga-like cut scenes. I enjoy watching them. Also the opening cut scenes can be skipped-there's nothing more annoying than unskippable cut scenes.

~ Never before seen characters

One word. Super Saiyan 3 Broly. Okay, maybe 3 words.

~ Amazing intricate customization system.

It's like a game in a game.

~ many game story scenarios-I think there's one for every DBZ episode where there was fighting.

~ awesome loading game-now you can get money while waiting for your game to load.

Cons

-VEXING GAMEPLAY

At least once every 3 games, the game camera will loose you and your opponent, leaving you to blindly fight yourself out of a corner.

the action is off--

- that is-there is a lag between combos. This is especially obvious when your trying to link combos together.

- Sometimes your melee attacks cause damage, but your opponents don't flinch. This sometimes happens when you're trying to link combos together.

-Online versus:

INSANE online competition that takes advantage of game flaws.

Game is not as universal as previous versions

limited amount of combos

not as many characters as the games before.

-laggiy moves

Some moves have a HUGE lag after you do them.

-Sometimes impossible mission goals.

The game sometimes requires you hit your opponent with moves within a 5 second time span. The problem is-the time to perform these actions, called "perfect actions", comes without warning. So, when the game tells you to use the ultimate attack, you have 5 seconds to power up to the max, find your opponent, and successfully use the attack.

-glitch automatic lock off

Sometimes, your moves don't hit your opponent. You fight right past them as though they sidestepped-but they didn't. This happens a lot when you start combos as your opponent gets up.

-Perfect Actions:

These are moves you must successfully hit your opponent with in a 5 second time span. The problem is, if you're opponent is in the middle of a combo, or dashing away from you, or you don't have enough energy to complete the action-you're screwed. I once had to repeat a mission 5 times.

-objective glitches

Sometimes you will complete an objective, but the game will not show it as completed.

The voice acting is SO synchronized with the actual mouth movement, it is ridiculous.

-Mission replay

If you want to complete any saga past the Saiyan Saga, you're going to have to repeat missions to earn "stars" which can help you buy missions to complete other sagas. This means you're going to have to complete each mission at least TWICE (assuming you never fail) Each bonus objective completed in addition to beat a mission has 3 stars

Trophies--

If you want that platinum-and we all do--

I run a DBZ News Channel on YouTube and for the last 5 months I've been mostly reporting and anticipating what I thought would be the best game ever.

I was VERY disappointed in this game. Now I played the Wii version of Budokai Tenkaichi 3, and after playing this. Wow. I'm disappointed.

PROS:

The graphics are great.

Option to switch to Japanese audio

Plenty to do (modes)

Stages are larger

Online World Tournament can be fun

Super Attack Customization

CONS (ESPECIALLY LACK OF DEPTH):

They took out way too many combos from BT3, it's ridiculous. YOU END UP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, USUALLY SUPER ATTACKS. There's just no depth to this game, (there was a bit more in BT3) and I just got bored spamming Super Attacks.

The camera in battle is just really awful, you're going to get horrible angles almost every fight that ruins the fun.

There are way less characters and stages, and some important characters like Ultimate Gohan are gone.

There is framerate problems and unresponsive control problems, doing Super Rising only works like 1/2 the time.

Everything is more stiff and much slower-paced than BT3.

The Story Mode combines the worst elements of BT2 and BT3. BT2's story mode was incredibly long, but well told. BT3's story mode was incredibly short, but poorly told (although it wasn't trying to, which was fine and enjoyable by me). Dragon Battle Collection IS LONG AND POORLY TOLD. To even get the story you have to read a paragraph recap.

Collecting stars by replaying each Story Mode battle 3 times just isn't worth it.

The controls are completely revamped, and in my opinion are not as good.

I have a great internet connection and there was many communication errors while playing Online Mode, although there wasn't lag it was just hard to actually get to a battle.

Playing Online may not be worth it because your opponent is most likely going to spam Super Attacks, which I can't blame since there's barely anything else you can do.

Super Battle Trial is incredibly tedious to complete.

Not enough new things added. Super Rising, Crashing into Walls, 2 new stage destructibility features and a really gimmicky weather change is it.

I'm disappointed in this game. Raging Blast 2 better be awesome, or its back to Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for me.

I wanted a DBZ game for my PS3 and after finding out it had a bit more sagas than Burst Limit, I got this.

The camera angles are beyond terrible. Good luck to anyone focusing on your opponent when you end up near a wall.

Buttons/commands won't work most of the time and that really sucks when you need them the most.

There is only ONE set of combos per character so 9 times out of 10 you'll end up using Super attacks just to finish the battle.

No screams when they power up. wtf it just looks hella weird.

Battles/playing with characters in the story mode idgaf about. (I really could have cared less about Yamcha/Tien/Chiaotzu fighting a dead Ginyu Force)

Not worth replaying the story mode over and over to get stars. (Goku's alternate outfits are not THAT important)

WAIT until this game is 19.99$ or less, or wait for the sequal which is hopefully 100x better

A great game with very few flaws. The combat is fun, and there's alot of content. The graphics are great if you like cell-shading. The camera isn't nearly as bad as some people claim, though it can be bothersome. The trophies are also quite difficult; don't be expecting a platinum anytime soon.

Overall, this was an awesome game. I definitely recommend it for DBZ fans.

If your looking for a DBZ game that plays out just like the anime then you've found it! I've played every DBZ game including the newer ones, and this one blows all others out of the water. Massive explosive gameplay just like the cartoon with far better graphics. This is as close as your ever going to get to the real deal.
