Dragonball Z: Burst Limit

Although the graphics is really awesome, I found the gameplay to be lacking in a lot of areas. For example there's no button-mash compete option for two kamekamehas shooting at the same time, nor are there effects like smashing through mountains or ground impact from smashing into them like there was in previous games. It was really disappointing not to see these things.

Also, I wish they would put more cut scenes from the story line instead of just fighting over and over again.

i play dragon ball z games are best. it's beautiful pics like cartoons then best fighter games . i wish wish more just like kid buu and super buu and gotruks and more mooooooorrrreee figthers . i give 5 or 5 stars. 100% games on PS3 . cool kamhama beam blow up draw it like war i love it . i know about Goku were most powerful himself than other as i know. not much many figthers . best more fighters than many more. i wish it. i'm dragon ball z fan. i heard tell you.. 2009 dragon ball action live movie ! yea whoo.. 100%! thank good luck guys.

It was my first game I bought for my PS3, and I gotta say I'm extremely disappointed. The game looks awesome alright, but it is way too short. All it has is the STORY MODE, which you can probably beat it in about 3-4 hours. Some crappy SURVIVAL MODE, which you have to fight the same characters over and over again 100 times, which is pretty boring, cosidering the dificulty between fights DOESN'T increase as you advance, so, there's really no challenge at all (I got to battle 50 and stopped, cause I got tired of it), and since theres NOTHING to unlock, well, there's really no purpose to play the game other than the STORY MODE.


Also, there's a lot of characters missing. You don't fight Zarbon or Dodoria in Frieza's Saga, also missing Androids 19 and 20 in the Androids Saga. There's no alternate costumes for the characters, only alternate colors, which sucks, cause it doesn't do a major change to the character looks. And it has about 5 stages to choose from too, not a big selection if you ask me.


The fighting is not that good either, just as the other Dragon Ball Z games, one "light" punch button, one "smash" punch button, the "ki blast" button and the "guard" button, and a few more extra features in battle, but nothing big or interesting. So there's really not a big variety of moves, it is mostly a "button-mashing" game. After about 10-15 fights, it gets repetitive and boring.


Overall, the game has pretty good graphics, but it is NOT that good, so if your look for a SINGLE PLAYER game, DEFINITELY this is NOT the game for you. It MAY be "funner" to play with friends, but when it comes to SINGLE player, it's really not worth it, specially at that price. So, only get this game if you're a hardcore fan of the series, or wait till the price drops, cause I really think $60 for this game it's too much for what the game has to offer.

What did they do to my precious DBZ fighting game series?

Okay, it looks beautiful. I will admit that. I've heard people say "It's so nice looking that it looks like your are controlling the Anime itself". Well, the graphics actually blow the decade old animation out of the water. It would be nice to see the series re-done using this level of animation.

And the positive reviews stop here. I'm an avid fan of the DBZ series. Esepcially so when it comes to the Budakai Tenkaichi series. I own 1, 2 and 3. Burst Limit is to the DBZ fighting series or games as a one legged grey hound is to dog racing.

I am not sure if they dumbed it down for younger kids, if they just wanted to try something new, or just were too worried about the "pretty face" of the game.

The DBZ: BT series is known for being high-speed, fast-paced, all over the screen action. Burst Limit just shoved 6 metric tons of lead down everyones undergaments. I am used to "rushing" and "dragon homing". Now I get Goku floating across the screen at speeds that would have him paced by balloons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The controls have definitely been dumbed down. It's really just a matter of "wait till my Ulimate Attack powers up....and fire" system. There's crap for variety.

At most, I would reccomend this game as a rental. I'll be selling mine very shortly.

Yes, the game is fun. Yes, it looks very pretty. But unfortunately, the game is way too short, only covering up to the Cell Saga, and then it doesn't even cover all the events taking place up to that. I think only the Saiyan Saga is fully covered, but the rest are not. You don't fight Dodoria or Zarbon, and only two members of the Ginyu appear; only androids #16, 17, and 18 show up; no Cell Jr... I think you get the point. I am fine with actually having less playable characters, but not at the expense of playing through all battles in the series.

As far as gameplay goes, i like the controls. I actually use the analog stick to move the characters. Takes a little getting used to the fact that you can't charge up your Ki, game does it for you. Drama Pieces was a nice little touch, but they should give you the option of turning them off on story mode, cause they don't really add anything spectacular, and many times it throws off your whole momentum when the fight stops to show you a little 5 second scene.

Overall, its worth a rental, not a full price purchase.
