    Good game but very disappointing story mode compare to the other Budokais!! number 2 and 3 were the best in Z chronicles and a long story mode with loads of characters. Burst limit is limited in characters and stories so leaves you with completing the game in less than 2 days... However the online battle are fantastic for the exception to players quiting matches right before they die !!! how stupid! Recommend the game if you are looking for online gaming and international battles. Expand

    Great game, like a refined version of the PS2 Budokai games. The decision to remove manual powering up is a good one, the battles are much faster and more fluid, with the cutscenes being seamless and well made.

    I think i liked best Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 because its more complete with characters and stuff but this isnt so bad, it could be better but its ok.

    The game is really short and stops with the Broly saga. Its also a bummer that i mis a lot of characters. Its really a nice game but I expected so much more from this title on the ps3 or xbox360.

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit isn't an awesome game but offers a few hours of pure fun and this is a big positive point of this game,but unfortunately it has several major flaws and for that reason I think is a good game but not great!!!!!

    Its a huge step backwards from Budokai Tenkaichi 3, if you still have your PS2, you might want go play Budokai instead, its much better.

    If you're thinking, bet this game is another great graphics, think again, it's just another budokai game, if your good at budokai games, this game is that, but with more.... how do i put it?..... pazzazz. it's got cut scenes where your enemy can't do anything while you give them a beat down. and in some levels, when you're being beat to a corner and you can't do anything, about to die, press R3. sometimes a friend will suprise attack your enemy..... i HIGHLY recommend you get this game 8.9 Expand

  1. It's nice to play a game that manages to be fun for the hardcore and casual alike. [Summer 2008, p.48]

    Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit managed to really impress me. It's not perfect but it's a fast, over-the-top fighter that's an absolute blast. The single-player Z Chronicles mode is perfect for hardcore fans and the multiplayer options are good enough that you'll want to call your friends over for a few matches.
  3. Get rid of the drama, though, and Burst Limit becomes a delight. [July 2008, p.78]
