    This is the way we like our HD remakes - a fun, nostalgic dive into the past. We're willing to overlook the lack of online options, although we don't understand why the second game wasn't included in the collection.
  2. The frenetic action and controls really capture the essence of the anime, and even is DBZ isn't as spry as it used to be, this is a nice reminder of its heyday. [Holiday 2012, p.85]

    The first half of Dragon Ball Z Budokai HD Collection is near pointless, but fans of the franchise will be delighted with Budokai 3. It's still the most balanced and detailed Dragon Ball fighting game available, and is a testament to how good licensed games can be when given the opportunity to evolve. It's just a shame that we never got a fourth instalment.

    What Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 comes down to is me and my pals playing a solid and fun fighting game without any interruption. If you want that with your Dragon Ball Z game, then you should check out this HD collection.

    Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 is one of the best games of DBZ games, and now i can play it in High-Definition , and the pack not only includes Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, also includes DBZ Budokai 1!! Expand
  2. This collection is alright, it's for the fans who want to take a trip down memory lane. The only thing I don't like about the collection is the fact that it doesn't have online for Budokai 3. As for the omission of Budokai 2, as much as I loved it back then, I didn't mind it not being in the collection. Expand
  3. american ost is ****
  4. If you haven't played the first then you will feel this a nice game. For fans this is a terrible ordeal; no Budokai 2, no original soundtrack, no online.

    All you will find is an old game with HD graphics.

    Overall VERY FEW changes.

    A 40$ price slapped on for the same game on a new platform.

    Kids, save your money.
