I’m going to start out by saying Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is an awesome multiplayer fighting game.

In dragon ball all the characters can fly and they all have awesome moves that can blow up the Earth if they wanted to.  Put that all into a game and you have this!

Combined with all that there is the Dragon Net Battle, this is basically Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.  You’ll be going online to pummel friends and soon-to-be-friends online!

Also you can play through the Dragonball Z history all the way from Dragonball to Dragonball GT!  Did I mention all the important characters are playable? Some have more then one forms :0

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Gameplay

Power level over the charts! The world is doomed!

Playing this multiplayer wii game is easy.  There are numerous combos you can do (some I haven’t even tried), but I’ll just go for the basics.

After choosing your characters out of hundreds (some may even have more then one form) you choose the map to play in.  They all vary from a destroyed Earth to even land being held up by a small poll.

You fight in this game by punching with A, while punching you can press B to use a strong finisher to knock them away.  There are many combos you can do with these.

Pressing B your character will shoot energy beams. Holding it will charge a big ball of energy, or, for some characters, two!

By pressing the D-Pad, you charge up your ki. If you have enough, you can perform super moves that usually involve giant energy beams.

The world...after the giant nuclear explosion

By pressing up on the D-Pad and swinging the wiimote you can use blast 1 moves skills that makes your character stronger.

By pressing left or right on the D-Pad you can use blast 2 moves which are super attacks that can do a lot of damage.

Once you charge your ki to the max (blue bar) you hold down on the D-Pad to use your ultimate move.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Multiplayer

This wii games allows you to go on Nintendo WFC and cause some real damage to the morale of the people around you.

In this multiplayer wii game you can play both locally with people around you in duel or tournament or go onto Nintendo WFC, just remember to get your friend codes.

Super Saiyans like Goku and Vegeta has multiple forms.

Dragon Net Battle

This is Nintendo WFC.  Once you get online is this multiplayer wii game you have several choices you can fight 1 vs. 1 with random people with, without custom characters, or ranking mode where you get points whether you win or lose.

The other option is to go and play with one of your friends that has the game or even friends you met online.

Duel Mode

Here you can choose 3 modes to play with a friend or a CPU.  1 character vs. 1 character, 5 characters vs. 5 characters, or destruction mode.

In destruction mode each character is graded by destruction points.  You get to choose a limit and you can’t break it.  This is the perfect way for you to have a fair balance fight with your friends.

Tournament Mode

Here you can enter up to 8 people to fight.  There are 5 different arenas and if you touch the ground out of the arena you lose.

You can only choose one character to play so choose wisely.

The trick to winning in this mode is to forcefully hit them to the ground.  I have done combos that smash your opponent down to the ground and won in less then 10 seconds.  This is much easier then smashing their hp bar to 0.

Conclusion

All and all, I think Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a fun wii game. One let down is the lack of overly high speed teleportation combat you’d expect from super fast muscle masses of fury.

The gameplay is still fun, cause bashing people through building is quite an enjoyable experience, as well as blowing things up, like, the whole world in one shot with your ultimate move, whether your friends dodge or not.

I think blasting energy beams out of your hands is fun, but hey it’s your opinion.

I recommend you to buy this game, but you can try it from Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
