Introduction

Hi!this is my first post,and yesterday,i got an american version of shin budokai,(american cos it's not out over here in uk)and iv got all the characters now,for those who want to know,you CAN charge up ki attacks,for example,kamehameha waves can be made more powerful and bigger by holding down the button that executes it longer,anyway,you can play as:
Pikkon
Goku:normal,kaioken,ssj1,ssj2,ssj3(sorry no ssj4)
Vegeta:ssj1,ssj2,majin
Gogeta:ssj1
Vegetto:normal,ssj1
Kid buu
Cell:perfect form,super perfect form
Frieza:final form,100%final form
Teen gohan:ssj1,ssj2

Cooler:normal,final form

Krillin:normal,unlock potential
Trunks:normal,ssj1

Graphics

Just like the budokai 3 graphics,but the edges of characters are just a tiny bit rough,other than that the graphics are absolutely fantastic!especially when your doing a special attack,such as gokus sprit bomb,its great,i give the graphics a score of 9/10.

Sound

I gave the sound a 7 because I want the origanal themes from the dragonball z series,although I think the guys that made this game would have to pay more,probably because of copyrights or something,the sounds like for the special effects are GREAT!its just the music I'm getting bored of,its been the same since b2.

Gameplay

A MUST have for any dbz fan,just like b3,but shame that they had to take out the powerstruggles,and dragon rushes,like tenkaichi has the free roam,shin budokai gives you the new aura burst,which you can like tap the R button and energy flies out of you,and then tap the triangle button,and you hit your oppenent in the stomach,and it really hurts!in aura burst you can also dash and fly faster,its good to use aura burst to quickly get out of the way of your opponents super finisher as well,and the super finishers are great,because a lot of them have a kind of power up,for example,ssj2 teen gohan can just do a normal super kamehameha,but instead,you can do a father son kamehameha,by tapping the circle button again,whilst the normal super kamehameha is hitting your opponent.oh,i almost forgot,there is a ad hoc multiplayer mode where you can fight your friends wirelessly.its amazing,other modes include,training,z trial

Lastability

As long as you have many friends with the game,you can host tournaments and fight your friends,if you go on it say about a hour a day,itll take a little longer to complete dragon road as well,also,itll take a long time to collect all the stamps,as you have to either keep doing levels in dragon road,or keep completing arcade mode.
