    Played the demo and was surprised its a really good game. I grew up watching DBZ so this feels like im watching/playing the show. Can't wait for it to come out.

    This game has less than all the other DBZ games with less characters less emersive gameplay and only a 2 hour story mode and only takes about 5 hours to get 100% complete. worst DBZ game ever ifu want a good DBZ game try Tenachki 3 or boudokai 3

    Very nice looking game. Very fun. However i fail to understand why they did not continue with the "Budokai Tenkachi" style. I much prefer the full 3D version to the side scrolling "Street Fighter" like style. Im a little gutted that the xbox 360 version is nowhere as good as the PS2 version.. i mean next generation consoles.. cmon.

  1. It's nice to play a game that manages to be fun for the hardcore and casual alike. [Summer 2008, p.48]
  2. This is the best and best looking Dragon Ball Z game that has been made. Every fan should buy this game.

    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.
