Budokai 3 Guide

Budokai 3 is one of the most inspiring events, as far as Dragon Ball gaming goes.  Budokai offered 3D characters from the series and fascinated many Dragon Ball Z-GT fans.  Budokai 2 was basically a slight improvement in the game and a whole new concept for the rendering of the characters.  Budokai 2 introduced the next generation of game rendering at that time--cell shading.  However, Budokai 3 is neither a small change or just a make over.  Budokai 3 uses the cell shading from Budokai 2, far better modes, and some special characters that die-hard fans out there are just dying to see, which include some characters from the DBZ movies and some characters from Dragon Ball GT.

Fan Responses:
There has been a lot of fan attempts to recreate Budokai 3's great graphics.  These fan created pieces of art are what people in the community call as "fan art."  However, this is not limited to just the fans in the United States but fans world wide and this has been proven when a creative French enthusiast created a Golden Gorilla screenshot and threw off a lot of fans.  We believe that fans are what makes the community strong so the work that fans produce are important to us as well.  If you have a piece of Budokai 3 fanart, please feel free to PM me on the forum and I will add it!  Our Budokai 3 fans have even created brilliantly works of art to create new characters and transformations such as SS4 Gohan, SS Raditz, GT Goku, and much more!

In addition to the fan art, a lot of fans also cast their opinions about this brilliant game.  Numerous fans were disappointed that certain characters such as Janemba, Zarbon, Dodoria, Turles, etc. were not in the game.  However, on the contrary, many fans enjoyed the game very much and appreciated the characters such as Broly, SS4 Saiyans, Bardock, and etc.  You may read some of these reviews by fans under fan reviews on the right panel.

 


The iGuide:
G-Net, in our opinion, is the one of the most interactive DBZ gaming guide company with fans and webmasters.  G-Net's iGuide for Budokai 3 is a DVD that explains visually what to do and what not to do, as well as give useful tips for the fans.  iGuides not only provided us with a lot of Budokai 3 information, but also was generous enough to add, both us and DBZGAMEINFO.com to their links section.  You may also download the Quick Hints and Items & Equipment crib sheets from iGuide.  The iGuide Budokai 3 DVD includes budokai basics, characters, items and equipment, unlockables, dragon universe, speed tips and bonus content, which is a definite must have if you are a Budokai 3 fan.
