lol his own damn fault!

Doesn't look that bad, You get a lil mini poster of the OAV with your Master Grade HiZak.

I still can't remember the one I really enjoyed but it was OLD in my opinion. I did some reading this morning, in order to unlock ALL the special features you pretty much have too go into Hard and or Very Hard difficulty settings to unlock characters such as Brolli and Uub, and you have to do certain things to get SSJ4 and to unlock some of the GT story. I was also shown that if you start a new game, select Goku, go to Kami's house I think, and keep training till you get too Level 21, get all the membership cards and walah you'll just about have everything unlocked including something called DragonArena...and you'll be able to continue playing thru Dragon Universe with all 11 main characters included Uub and Brolli. I'm doing Hard mode now, and I just finished the Freiza Saga and it's tough as hell, AI's are smarter and use Hyper Mode more often, the only way to counter that is to stay away from them till they run out of Ki, or to go Hyper Mode yourself and atleast try to nail them 2 outta 3 rounds of Dragon Rush.....its also recommended if you can get it done quick enough, just Dragon Rush atleast 3 times and if you manage to atleast get the 2 outta 3 rounds complete, you'll just need 1 ki blast when their guard is down and you'll win. But its all about timing. If you charge at them, more than likely they'll knock ya back further and drain your Ki.

Awwwww if she wasn't a lesbian I'd do her .....wait a minute.....*runs for a camera*

Hmmmmmmm did Lucas even have tie ins with Droids? I don't remember.........but damn yeah I remember that show....I use to have some tapes but nope.....allllllllll gone, more ethan likely gone for good. I can't remember to much of the show......just minor things like the characters drawn out, the droids themselves, a bit of the opening animation and music.....nothing too major.

Somebody got it right with Wing, you can't shrug that off, even people admit that the dub was actually easy to listen too. Granted, I did pull a 180, I'm sorry, but you just sorta gotta take it for what its worth you know? While everyones got their own tastes, you gotta acknowledge the fact we're actually getting product and not having to go buy a bootleg where the chances of the subtitles are probably going to be out right horrible. I will NEVER buy a bootleg again after Star Ocean EX and .Hack//SIGN, those killed it for me in the trust of Japanese to Chinese and Japanese to Chinese to English....Ingrish.....there The bonus features, yeah they were crap......the trailers were probably done as well in 5.1 which was a waste, and they messed up the SEED trailer which made me mad....its like someone called Bandai Guy to help.

That's Irony isn't it?

Bitter ain't we? I mean honestly what were you really expecting? I also don't see what you mean You can't make something worse from a movie that was poorly done from the get go....there's not much more fuel to add to this fire really. If ya hate it, get rid of it buddy that's all ya gotta do. You can I guess trade it off at Gamestop for 10 bucks, out 15-19 dollars and live with the pain. I mean can't we just be happy that we're FINALLY getting with the show biz and startin to get all the Gundam shows coming to THIS side of the pacific? I'd rather buy something official than a boot with subtitles being, "I can't believe I licked my father" with a sad Camille after killing his father. If anything, you got your money's worth with 2 discs for the price of an ordinary DVD pricing.....

I can't say the game deserves an 8 of any sorts, I'd say atleast a 6.5 or a 7....while it will make your weekend go by quick, before I realized I was finished on the first difficulty level, it was already 2 AM Sunday morning....and I had picked up the game at 10 AM Saturday......so almost a full day of DBZ. Like I said, 40 unlockable characters, but you gotta do ALOT of roaming around in the Dragon Universe field picking up items, fighting Seibermen, upping your difficulty level etc. Right now I"m playing Hard Mode and I'm going against Freiza after this. I personally wish you go against each member of the Ginyu force, Debora, Zarbon etc. Heck I even wish it would do some of the side stories like Bardock and Trunks since they're playable characters. Sadly characters like Bardock really don't have any moves besides his potential and moonlight. You can add things to him to try and make him a bit stronger, but nothing too grand. One thing I REALLY want to do is try and unlock more levels to the game, like fighting Brolli in the Movie 8 settings, even some GT levels would be fantastic. But it doesn't seem like that's going to happen. It felt misleading towards that, you got all these unlockable characters yet you need to do all this stupid searching, and you got a rather large area to cover for such small objects such as Capsules......and the Dragon Radar doesn't help much at all, you can't zoom out the Radar blip from what I know. But finding the Dragon Balls is a pain, I need one more for my Adult Gohan character.......or was it Vegeta.......oh man my Vegeta......oh.....god........STRONG.....I did alot of sub battles with him against other Z characters and those Seibermen.

I can't remember which game it was, but it was almost card battle like and very very old school. It was turned based and I must have stayed up 12 hours straight playing it, from the late night hours till the wee hours in the morning and what not going from the Saiyan Saga, training with King Kai, and than going to the Freiza Saga. I remember also there was a cheat when your fighting freiza, have one of your guys die and Goku will go Super Saiyajin and Walah! instant win!

that's right, We remember back 2 years ago, DBZ Budokai was infact one of the most anticipated Dragon Ball releases since Ultimate Battle 22 back in the PS days. The game was infact very much molded like UB22 except UB22 didn't have a storyline, it was a solid fighter base like DOA etc. Budokai featured full polygon rendered designs and backgrounds giving a "3D" feel for the DBZ characters. A storyline was introduced loosey from the original series, following the events from the Saiyan Saga till the fall of Cell against Gohan. People enjoyed the game even dispite its flaws such as not being able to jump, and how the fighting did get blah with it being difficult to perform certain combinational moves, not too mention people really didn't like the 3D poylgon characters, it just wasn't "DBZ" like. Following that, Atari went ahead and produced Budokai 2 which was the next big seller for the DBZ marketing line. However, I passed on this game due to its poor ratings. While people thought the Cel shade animation style was a pleasent and needed touch for the game, it presented this "Board game" style of moving thru the storyline which was tidious and slow. Finally last week, Budokai 3 appeared, presenting the same graphics style as 2, with a new setting, an RPG like battle system where you roam thru the Dragonball world aka Dragonworld, and pick fights to get experince. Once you reach a level you recieve skill points to make yourself stronger thru Health, Ki, Attacks, Guards, Abilities, Art, etc. You progress from the Saiyan Saga till the end of the Buu Saga very loosely. However, unlike the 1st game where the graphics went with a storyline as watching th echaracters animate thru, its replaced with a character profile and a word bubble. At times, the voice actors didn't appear to be speaking and just go thru the word bubble. You move around the world, collecting items, meeting old characters and even finding the Dragon Balls which is VERY difficult without the Dragon Radar which you have to stumble upon. Thru each moment of the story you fly around Dragonworld to go to the next point of the game. You'll seem to go thru Dragonworld in and out thru each story line till your able to fight. Following every heavey battle, you'll get sometimes 2-4 Skill points to add on to your Skills guages. You mostly want to focus on your Health, Ki and Attacks. The fighting system hasn't changed much at all, except now you'll have the ability of "Dragon Rush" where after you go Hyper mode and do a combination of moves you'll enter a Cinimatic cut scene where you have 3 rounds to press either Triangle, Square, Circle or X to execute your power house move. In those 3 rounds your opponent has the ability to guess which button you pushed to counter. If your successful thru out all 3 rounds you'll deal a heaping amount of damage and possibly even instant killing your opponnent based on his health strength. However, if you don't execute Hypermode correctly you can loose your Ki and be fatigued for a certain amount of time. Also returned is the rushed attack where you and your opponent lock fists in a speeding combination of kicks and punches in which the fighter whose rotating his analog stick the fastest will win and have a chance to execute a powerful combination of moves. Also in correct moments of game play while your fighting you can Zanzuken (Teleport) and play Pin Ball with your opponent taking a good amount of damage to him and also wiping out a fair amount of your Ki, every teleport you do will take 1 Ki gauge. You also have the ability to do fast moving dodges at close range by using your guard. This will also use up your guage at vast amounts. After beating the game with every character I have to say the Dragonworld is a let down, however knowing you have have ALOT of players in the World Tournament is exciting to say the least. However, it takes alot of work to prepare such a thing, afterall you wanna get every skill you can for your friends. World Tournament modes are difficult, there are so many factors which can either help you win, or loose such as going out of bounds, being KO'ed etc, get anywhere behind 2nd place and you don't earn any cash to get skills for multiplayer modes really....so its fairly difficult. My impression of the game is simple, its not for everyone, its your regular class of fighter games, it STILL has its limitations which were present in the first 2 games. However the improved Cel Shaded graphics to help authenticate the DBZ likeness is a MAJOR Plus. Voice Acting is medicore at best, these guys have been voice acting the DBZ characters for 6 or 7 years now, you'll see t hey do seem to get fairly tired of it with nearly 300 episodes, 13 movies not including DB or DBGT. 40 characters to play in the game is a nice round number, more than UB22, or infact any DBZ game, featuring those from DB/Z/GT and the movies such as Brolli, Cooler and even a SSJ4 Goku WIIGII! But the game does get rather tiring, and you might only be able to stomach 10 minutes of it at least Music is rescored and the opening music is actually nice to listen too! How the hell did that happen?! Also it looks like Toei got up and did a nice opening sequence for the game with top knotch DBZ like animation just like mama use to make. All in all, decent game, nice opening, decent music, and gameplay, its better if you got friends to mess around with however, otherwise its only a game to play when your bored as hell, there just really isn't much to do at all.

Agreed its kinda pointless without the pics isn't it?

I checked out the second disc lastnight, it contains a 5.1 dobly digital audio english track, Character gallery, UC Timeline.....okay this pisses me off it goes from 0080, swings into 0093 with CCA, than it whacks around the 100's till the end of F91 which a brief mention of F90. English version with Commentary, which was HORRIBLE! You couldn't hear the movie let alone what people were saying in the background! And than movie trailers, trailers consisted of Gundam F91, where the music was so loud you couldn't hear anything else but it was enough you ask yourself if that was on purpose or just being lazy. Than Gundam SEED which was screwed up, "It's the year AC195.......and two friends will fight.......for their destiny" or something like that, but it clearly showed AC 195..........................dorks....... After that was the Gundam Battle Assault 3 SEED Game which is probably one of the junkiest games for the PS2, not worth the cash, infact NONE of the Gundam BA games are worth it, just jumbling a bunch of Mobile suits, specificly SEED into multicombat enviorments poorly rendered and finished. DONE!

Really the only games I think are worth playign Mecha wise if not Gundam than Zone of the Enders, atleast you got really really cool moves like a Vector Canon coming out of another dimension of space and time to just rip the hell out of anything in range, and than you got Zero-Shift going from one point to another in a blink of an eye oooohhhhhhh yeah!

Yeah.....the moment I heard her voice I fired a few missiles at her....she's like this tiny lil tan colored blip o nthe screen and said "SHE'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!" .......but like the legend says, you can't kill minmay......ESPICALLY the American Minmay....oh god......that's like Godzilla and Mothra having a baby....its super invicible and annoying.

DSS was a pain in the ass to get use too, if you don't hit it at the right time nothing will happen, it blips out of there too quickly. Two player was kinda fun, I burnt it to CD and played it with a friend, but since the music was all freaked out I just had to use my old OST before it was stolen from my car.

lol I should talk to my friend Harry, he modded his Xbox with the 120 Gigs and what not, not sure if he's gone live or not, I should ask

........You know I can get it from HLJ....I'm willin to wait.....its just......dammit I can't buy from online without getting caught and fired >< GAH! Someone wanna put up the order so than I can just do the Money Order bussniess?

Strike is out in HLJ............I FIN WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The big point of the game even theh developers mentioned this "There is a use for all 3 modes, and you gotta use them to each his own during certain times" When I had to protect Graystone, I would be in one area and would have to go clear cross another and attack a hord of pods. So I would use Battloid during my attacks and keep them spread, than I would use my after burners in fighter mode, launch as many missiles as possible and during the explosions I'd transform and let out all the ammo I could while my missiles came back up, than do it all over again. When you have to destroy the recon ships with the protoculture and can't let one of them escape, you gotta do the same thing, let it all go and barrel roll from pods. If you use that cheat I mentioned, it helps ALOT more.

If you watch now and than, the frame size changes a few inches on the wide screen scale. Not too mention I think a few frames somewhere were skipped, I can't remember. I really do wish however it was turned into a series, I feel that this really got raped in the worst way

Atleast you can get it in the states and play it without having to mod your PS2. The games just fine, its not perfect but it'll atleast give you an idea of what NOT to do when making a video game The perks is simple, you get the pilot a wide array of VF-1's, from the A Cannon Fodder, to Skull One, to the YF-1R prototype variant. You got a medal system in which if you kill a certain number of enemy units or complete a mission in a specific manner, you get special deals like paint schemes or Veritech fighters or Behind the Scenes interviews with the cast and crew....(Reba West is OOOOLLLLLD) There's also a cheat, if you get the Fast pack system, and go back to a space battle where you can equip it, you can continue USING that pack as long as you don't save and quit. I use to just play the first two missions over and over and over till I had over 500 kills of both Regult and Fighter pods. It also allows you to practice your snipping abilities so you can get the stealth armor after killing 50 Power Armors. The downsides is like mentioned, you do alot of guard duty, be it Copters, Recon planes, Destroids, citizens etc....its all part of being a Robotech Defender Some game mistakes which are very easy to spot, lack of SFX was a big issue, Regults would be walking around, and there'd be no sound of their legs stomping about, or late SFX's from cannon firing, to walking, to even having some storyline pieces cut out. There's a transformation error where when going to any form and into Battloid, the wings will dissappear completely. But it has it's up times when your sliding down a hill with a few Zentradie targets firing at you and all you do is just slide from one end to another shootin at them....that was something I liked was the sliding and strafing around. Worth 10 bucks easily, but myself, I paid 60 bucks I think cause I went collectors edition thinking the game was gonna turn out really nice. Also if you notice, there seems to be a Jack Archor following of fans, believe it or not, its odd, but I can't say I'm a Jack Archor fan, I did like his color scheme for his Veritechs.

You know what, I haven't looked but from what I remember it was Mobile Suit designs for the movie, a timeline, I think an interview with one of the production staff members from Japan......hmmmmmm that's all I can remember, I just know that the second disc is sorta a waste.

You sure? I remember it being posted here before.

Comin along, nice job...................wish my computer would work I WANT MY PG STRIKE!!
