IEEEEEEE!! Info nueva...
If you had to guess, how many Dragon Ball games do you think there are? Six? 10? 15? 20?!? You're not even close. Try 30+ games spanning the course of eighteen years and fourteen different consoles. Given that, you would generally think the franchise should have died by now, wouldn't you? And yet, it's still around and going strong. Atari's recent successes in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai series have sold over eight million copies worldwide, paving the way for their newest installment: Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi.
As much as Atari's most recent Dragon Ball Z game ("Dragon Ball Z: Sagas") was a departure from the traditional fighting-action game into the RPG genre, Tenkaichi looks to be the series' triumphant return. Apart from new name (Tenkaichi means "World's Best" in English), the game offers a variety of new features to toy with, while still dishing out plenty of the old. Yes, you can still wreak havoc upon the battle environments, turning a town into a desert with a massive lens flare. This time, however, you get to chose who you want to eviscerate from all of creation with from a list of over 60 different characters (a fairly large increase from Budokai III's 38 characters). Characters from both the Dragon Ball GT series, as well as from the 13 Dragon Ball Z movies (only 10 of which have only been released in the US), are finally being welcomed into the center ring. Maybe some new non-anime characters, ie the Gokule and Tiencha fusions from Budokai II, may make their appearances here as well. (Hell, who wouldn't be glad to spend the 50 dollars to see a Super Saiyan 3 Raditz take on an adult Super Saiyan version of Gotenks).
The single-player Dragon, two-player Versus, and World Martial Arts Tournament modes are back, in addition to three all-new modes: Ultimate Battle, Dragon Capsule, and Evolution Z. The character attribute system, first implemented in Budokai III, has been revitalized, this time with ten stats to modify instead of seven. The game also comes with unlockable video footage from the anime series. This is an improvement on the unlockable "audio clips" from Budokai III, which provided the average Dragon Ball Z fan with a few seconds of mild entertainment followed by a feeling of "was that really necessary?"
The most noticeable feature so far, however, is the artistic quality of game. Ever since Budokai II's experiment with cel-shading, the characters have begun to look more like their anime counterparts, giving the player an almost overwhelming sense of control -- that one is actually directing the very characters from the show, and not just videogame sprites. Atari has finally got the glowing hair down to an art, as well as the control aspect of the energy attacks. The environments too have changed, allowing for players to fight in three regions now: on air, on ground, and in water. Water combat, though rarely seen in the anime, should be fascinating to toy with (hoping that they manage to get the underwater energy blasts right). On the topic of attacks, two new attack styles called Rush and Smash Attack are to be implemented, similar to that of the "Dragonrush" feature a la Budokai III. These will hopefully add to the energized frenzy of it all.
All things considered, this promises to be the most electric Dragon Ball Z game yet, a promise heard time and time again throughout the Budokai series, and a promise Atari consistently manages to deliver.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi is the fourth entry in the series of fighting games based on the extremely popular anime series. Although Budokai 3 was warmly received by the press and fans alike, Spike hasn't rested on its laurels while developing Tenkaichi (roughly translated as "best in the universe") and seems committed to delivering a game that's significantly bigger and better than any of the previous games in the series. We were shown a couple of fights from the game and came away with these impressions.
Atari returns with the latest Dragon Ball Z fighter, Budokai Tenkaichi.
Fans of the television series will be pleased to note that Tenkaichi has a greatly expanded cast of characters when compared to previous games. We're told that the roster will include 60 characters, including relatively recent additions to the DBZ universe, such as Janemba, and old favorites that haven't seen the Budokai treatment yet, like the diminutive Chaiotzu.
We managed to check out a bout between Goku and Kid Buu, which took place in a rocky canyon stage. Graphically, the game is similar to Budokai 3 but with a bit more of a realistic look to it. The characters themselves are faithful to their television counterparts, but Spike has backed off the full cel-shading in Budokai 3, with the result that the character models are sharper around the edges and are more defined in appearance. In addition, character models will now be modified during fights as each character takes damage. For instance, Goku started the fight with a relatively clean uniform, but at the end of the fight (in which he barely managed to defeat Buu), he was noticeably bruised up, and his outfit had numerous tears and scrapes in it.
Another big change is in the appearance of the stages themselves. They're actually bigger than in Budokai 3 and incorporate new breakable objects. In the canyon stage we saw, there were a number of rock pillars scattered around the center of the area; these are fully breakable and result in extra damage--and some impressive explosions--when you happen to throw your opponent through them. In another interesting twist, some of these breakable objects will reportedly have power-ups hidden inside them, allowing you to grab extra health or energy during the course of a match.
You'll find more characters, bigger arenas, and an enhanced story mode in the new Budokai.
Fans of Budokai 3's dragon universe mode will also be pleased to hear that Spike has apparently expanded the story portion of the game. Although we didn't get to witness this aspect of the game for ourselves, we're told that Tenkaichi will incorporate more saga storylines, which should add up to an adventure that's roughly 50 percent longer than that of the previous game. [QUERY: check edits]
Overall, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi is shaping up to be another impressive game in a series of games that has really been the saving grace for fans of Dragon Ball Z video games. We'll see more of the game at E3, and we hope to get a glimpse of its split-screen two-player combat then.
