Extreme Butoden is plain and simple the best Dragon Ball Z beat'em up available, but it suffers from its portable nature and a somewhat disappointing roster of fighters.
While Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden has its fair share of disappointment with its heavy unlocking system and lack of online competition, it's also a not-so-bad take with its fighting, mainly because of the 2D setting. If Bandai Namco could somehow produce a version for consoles with a bigger roster, a less strenuous adventure system, and online play, it'd have a winner on its hands. For now, it's a decent pick for fans of the series, and maybe even for those that don't mind earning their keep in the fighting arena.
El juego es bueno, tiene una muy buena historia, graficos decentes, una jugabilidad aceptable y Sonidos buenos, no hay muchos desafios en el modo historia, pero en el modo aventura hay practicamente mejores desafios
En conclusión: Recomiendo el juego a los Casuales y Frecuentes, y muy recomendable para los que le gustan los juegos de pelea con este estilo
"Extreme Butoden" has nothing new to add in the genre but it is a welcome return to form, for the Dragon Ball franchise and an extremely fun ride for the fans of the manga.
No online modes and a lacklustre character roster are a punch to the gut of Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, but the day is saved by an accessible and fast paced combat system that houses an enjoyable amount of depth.
It very much feels like a game of the past as far as the overall package is concerned, with a lack of online multiplayer and a focus on its single player elements. Unfortunately, while combat is solid and its audio and visual elements impress, there is simply not enough of a game here to enjoy them for too long.
If there is one thing that you can't take away from Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, it's that it's a gorgeous game full of fan service. But beautiful graphics and fun support characters can't hide the fact the game's content is pretty limited.
As a whole, Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Budokai is just kind of there. If you can get past a few presentation issues, it looks fine, and the simple fighting system is fun enough for those who aren't seeking an advanced game.
As a fighting game fan, I’m disappointed by the simplicity and small-mindedness that seems to have gone into Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. As a fan of the animé series for so many years, and having played many, many versions of this story over my years as a professional reviewer, this attempt at a cash-in just hurts my feelings.
This game is easily, 100%, no doubt, completely..okay. That's it. Just, okay.
The game play is fast and smooth, and the visuals are simply gorgeous. The 3D affect doesn't add too much, but the presentation is still marvelous. The inclusion of Z Assist characters is a pretty cool addition as well, and it does add interesting game play mechanics. It's a fighting game that's simple to pick up for any player that is not used to fighting games, but is still challenging enough to make mastering it difficult.
That being said, there are a lot of flaws that kind of ruin it. The online support isn't even there. It's a shame that Nintendo titles like this often neglect online play. Especially in today's age where you can play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam (a "Cable Guy" reference, for those that didn't get that one). It also is too easy. It doesn't really add anything seriously new to the Dragon Ball Z fighting game franchise, either, other than the Z Assists. The most glaring, and often mentioned, flaw with the game is the shallow roster. It's understandable that the 3DS couldn't handle every last DBZ character, and I think including everyone is overkill anyways, but there are a lot of missing fan favorites they easily could have put in but didn't.
If Metacritic allowed it I would give this game a 6.5, but since that isn't an option, and you always round up in math, it gets a 7. It's not a spectacular game. You won't miss much if you skip this entry. It is still fun enough, though, and can provide some quick entertainment for anyone looking for it.
this game is a ok fighting game you would usually want to play with friends rather than alone the story mode is meh and the z assist cosept is pretty pointless it took out characters you wold like to play as like ssj2 gojeta all gt characters ssj4 included ssjgss vegeta and even golden frizea and the character selection is poor so I give it a 5.0/10
Mi reseña va dirigida principalmente al supuesto homenaje que le hacen al Super Butoden 2 de super nintendo, el que es para mi y mucha gente el mejor DBZ en 2D de todos los tiempos. En serio era necesario eliminar la banda sonora original y ponerle esa porquería Re versionada por un chino de 3 años? La OST ha sido desertada musicalmente sin razón alguna por una banda sonora mas propia de un juego de Rol de 8 bits que de un fighting Game. Todo el mundo sabe que lo que hizo grande a este juego no solo fueron sus gráficos y jugabilidad endiablada, sino su potente banda sonora por ello no entiendo como se atreven a poner esa porquería chustera de música que lo único que consigue es hacer perder toda la magia al juego. Desaprovecharon la oportunidad perfecta para añadirle galerías o extras y en su lugar lo que hacen es joderle el sonido. Recomiendo a todo el que no conociera el juego que ni se le ocurra jugar a esta herejía y directamente lo haga en el original.
