Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, an interesting fighting game, takes its inspiration from the cult anime. Featuring an extensive roster of heroes, the project immerses gamers in the adrenaline-pumping battles that characterize the series. A distinctive feature of the video game is its innovative combat system. In it, users can teleport, juggle opponents, fly and perform various attacking maneuvers. The unique “Dragon Universe” mode introduced in the title adds another level to the game. In this mode, gamers can explore the setting map, collect items, participate in battles, and uncover secrets.

A notable aspect of the title is its extensive cast, including 42 playable characters. Each has their own skills, transformations and special moves, which gives the gameplay additional depth. Notably, some characters, such as Cooler, Bardock, Broly, and Omega Shenron, are exclusive to certain regions or versions, adding variety to the game's roster. To enhance gameplay, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 introduces different costumes and alternate forms for some of the characters. For example, gamers can use the power of Goku in Super Saiyan 4 or see Vegeta's formidable Majin form. This variety gives the game an additional level of strategy, allowing users to tailor their actions to the unique abilities of the selected character.
