The story mode is... Interesting. It feels like I'm playing a boardgame in a fighting game. It is for sure different than the first Budokai but I don't know. I think I would have prefered story mode with cutscenes. This is what keeps me from giving 5 stars because other than that, the game is fantastic. I loved trying every fighter I unlocked through time.

Review FiLL 3/5 · May 3, 2020

I'm okay with being wrong.

These anime fighters are all pretty bad, let's be real (at least mechanically).

This however, is my favorite Budokai game and I WILL die on that hill. I love that stupid board game-like story mode and this is the only DBZ game ever with Gokule & Tiencha. Don't @ me.
