Gameplay

Budokai 3 is a fighting game with cel-shaded graphics to mirror the look and feel of the combat in the series. Where Dragon Brawl Z: Budokai included characters all the style to the Android Saga and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 introduced characters from the Buu Saga, Budokai iii now has characters from theDBZ films, Dragon Ball GT,and even the original Dragon Ball.

New mechanics

Ki – The Ki system is completely revamped from the past two Budokai games. Each grapheme now has a base Ki level, Ki will increase/decrease slowly until information technology is at base Ki level. If Ki is higher than the base of operations Ki, and then a bonus in assail is acquired (under base Ki level, a defense bonus is gained until you are back at normal defence force level). Transformations, now instead of draining Ki slowly, can increase base of operations Ki (this also evens out transformations as having less than base of operations Ki volition reduce a character'south defence force). Additionally, auras have been redone, and now wait very close to the auras seen in the anime.
Transformation – In the previous two games, a transformation gradually drained ki, and being knocked down with less than the ki level needed to transform would revert the transformation. In Budokai 3, a transformation will instead increment the base ki level, and is only reverted if a character is striking with less than one ki gauge, or if they let hyper mode to run out. Additionally, some transformations (like Cell, Broly and Frieza'south) are irreversible.
Beam Struggle – If ii axle attacks collide, instead of cancelling each other out, a beam struggle is activated. The two characters rotate control sticks in order to push the 2 beams to one grapheme or the other. If the fighters are close to each other and use Energy Wave Blasts on each other, they can damage each other or cause a Double K.O. with depression health.
Fatigue – A new fatigue meter is added to the HUD, it increases during battle. Information technology is nigh important during an ultimate assault, but if fatigue is maxed out, a character will become wearied if knocked downwardly with less than one Ki gauge full.
Dodging – By pressing guard just before being attacked, the grapheme will dodge the attack completely, at the cost of a little ki.
Teleport Counters – Earlier whatever assail connects, a character tin teleport behind the attacking character and counter-assail at the cost of 3 ki bars. If simply ii ki confined remain, the character cannot teleport anymore; they accept to accuse upward ki in gild to teleport once again.
Items – Item capsules tin be equipped and used in battle. Items tin can but be used in one case, and have various effects ranging from increasing wellness to granting temporary Ki Blast immunity. If a grapheme is interrupted while trying to utilize an item, the item is lost.
Hyper Way – By pressing L2, a character enters Hyper Mode. They plow red, their ki slowly decreases, and they lose the ability to block. In Hyper Mode, a grapheme is allowed to most weak melee attacks, if Hyper Mode is allowed to run out, the character is fatigued and loses any applicative transformations. Hyper Mode is necessary to start Dragon Rushes and Ultimate Attacks. Hyper Mode is rather wildly reviled by veteran players due to the constant bleed, the fact that the user slows down, and how easy they become to avoid until they are out of Ki and left helpless by fatigue. Hyper Mode does take upwardly time every bit the fighter will accept to turn the analog stick to go out of exhaustion, and the fighter can get attacked past their opponent.
Dragon Rush – If a character knocks another graphic symbol away while in Hyper Mode, that grapheme tin can get-go a Dragon Rush. A Dragon Rush is a three function game of chance, where both characters cull one of the four buttons. If the defender can choice the same push button as the attacker, the Dragon Blitz is ended, even so, later on each office, the number of buttons is decreased. If all three parts connect, the attacking character launches a powerful finisher.
Ultimate Attacks – When in Hyper Mode, characters can launch powerful (and quite cinematic) ultimate attacks. Players use timing to stop a guess just earlier it fills up. Depending on the results, the attack can have its power reduced, miss, or be sent back to the attacker. Fusion is also executed in the same manner, but the mechanics for fusion are the same as they are in Budokai 2.
Fusion – While still performed the aforementioned style, and still providing infinite Ki, Fusion Trip the light fantastic now instantly ends when the timer runs down to zip (whereas in the previous game, trip the light fantastic fusion was but reverted when your character falls over after the timer runs out). Fusion is as well executed in Hyper Way, just like an ultimate assault. If the opponent presses the same push while throwing the earring during a Potara Fusion, the character will take hold of it and trounce it. Afterward this happens, the player is unable to fuse.
Super Saiyan 4 – Goku and Vegeta can now transform into Super Saiyan 4, irresolute their Kamehameha and Galick Gun attacks into 10x Kamehameha and Terminal Shine Attack respectively. These attacks are also 72% stronger than their basic versions. They tin can too fuse every bit Super Saiyan iv'due south to form Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta.
"Gratis Flight" – By holding up or down while doing a astern nuance, characters tin ascend and descend, where in the past, a player had to be hit into the heaven. This is a helpful feature every bit larger characters take an easier time hitting smaller characters while others simply fight less effectively in the air.

Skills

As in Budokai and Budokai ii, each character is able to be customized past using a vii-slot skill tray. Players may choose up to seven skills and give them to a fighter. Skills can take from one to seven slots (including ones such every bit Bulma's Armor and items which include things such as Senzu Edible bean and Vaccine). The throws are in the control system and the attacks where your character blasts ki attacks rapidly at a downed opponent have been incorporated into Dragon Rush.

Game modes

Dragon Universe

The story mode in Budokai 3 takes identify on a globe map called Dragon Universe. This mode consists of 11 playable characters traveling effectually Earth or Namek during the 4 main sagas of Dragon Brawl Z: Saiyan Saga, Frieza Saga, Cell Saga, and Majin Buu Saga, while collecting items such every bit money, capsules, Dragon Balls or unlocking other characters for employ in the other game modes. The various characters are each unlocked past completing a required task inside Dragon Universe (for example, Dr. Gero is unlocked by defeating Dr. Gero with Yamcha in the Androids Saga).

The Dragon Universe has a high level of replayability due to events in the game potentially irresolute from playthrough-to-playthrough. For case, in Goku's commencement playthrough the majority of the story proceeds as it does co-ordinate to the anime. However, in the post-obit playthroughs, certain choices tin include Goku'due south fight with Frieza changing into a fight with Cooler instead. These choices tin even lead to events such as fighting Broly and Omega Shenron afterward fighting Super Buu. With eleven characters bachelor for play in Story Mode, and various choices bachelor for each grapheme, Dragon Universe has significantly more replay value than previous Budokai games.

The characters playable in Story Mode are:

One of the many hidden Story Reenactments

In all non-optional battles in Story Mode, the player can unlock a bonus called "Story Reenactment". It'southward obtainable by doing specific conditions in each battle like performing or end the opponent with certain technique, defeating the opponent within or after a time limit, using or equipping an particular, winning with adamant health or win by a ringout victory. Most of this conditions are based in events that actually happened in the manga/anime, although the what-if battles also had them. Taking in account all possible battles for each character in their different playthroughs, at that place are a total of 111 hidden story reenactments (Goku having 21; Child Gohan, 8; Teen Gohan, seven; Gohan, 10; Vegeta, 20; Piccolo, eighteen; Krillin, 7; Yamcha, 4; Tien, 6; Uub, four; and Broly, 6). Yet, only twenty story reenactments of the 111 unlock exclusive vocalization clips, while the rest of them only award the player with more Z-points.

In one case the game is completed, if all seven Dragon Balls are collected, the player is able to make a "wish" which lets him/her cull one from three special capsules, which include Quantum Capsules (these allow a role player to use all of a graphic symbol'due south moves and abilities at once), "Memories of... Capsules", and Equipment Capsules.

If a player reaches second place, they volition win half the prize money. If a actor enters the tournament with a Sparking Sheathing and wins, the prize coin will exist multiplied. The more than exclamation marks on Sparking, the more than money is earned (for example, Sparking! gives the actor a 10% increment while Sparking!!!!!!! gives the player a 400% increase).

Dueling

Exclusive versions

Merely like Dragon Ball Z ii (the Japanese version of Budokai ii) had a battle damaged outfit for Goku and a full outfit for Piccolo, including cape and turban, besides equally featuring Kuriza as an alternating outfit for Frieza, Dragon Ball Z iii has some new outfits also: Trunks's third outfit is long pilus with Bulma'southward boxing armor and his sword, Piccolo's quaternary outfit is his begetter King Piccolo, and Goku's 4th outfit has a Halo in a higher place his head. While the American version of the game simply had two moving picture clips to unlock (the instrumental and song openings from Budokai ii), 3 additional "Baba's Crystal Brawl" capsules were added in the Japanese release, two are Japanese commercials for Budokai 2 and Budokai three and the 3rd is an extended version of the various scenes shown in the credits, along with the full intro theme song. The but other real "extras" in the Japanese version of the game would be the song opening theme (which the original European release of the game had, anyway), and the fact that graphic symbol mouths actually motion on carte du jour screens (which was not in either the original European and American releases of the game).

European version (Collector's edition)

The European "Collector's Edition" version of Budokai 3 was released in Fall 2005. Months before, the hype began to build that it would include not only the option to select the Japanese vocal track for the characters in the game, but that the Japanese version's extras would also be bachelor for unlocking. The Platinum Version is identical to the Collector's Edition. The "Baba Crystal Ball Movies" are likewise available on this version after extensive game play. Several forums have posted the process needed to gain these capsules, which tin be bought in the capsule store. Even so, the content of the movies are only the original Japanese introduction to Dragonball Z: Budokai 2. One prune is the intro with song accessory while the second clip is the instrumental version of the intro.

American version (Greatest Hits)

The American "Greatest Hits" version of Budokai 3 was released in Nov 9, 2005. Just like the European Collector's Edition, the game includes the three actress outfits for Goku, Trunks, and Piccolo (which can exist unlocked by entering instance-sensetive passwords in Dragon Arena), and the pick to switch the language to Japanese, making this particular version of Budokai 3 the first Due north American-releasedDBZ game to include such feature.

At beginning, the game didn't actually contain the promised extra features nevertheless. The instruction booklet and the dorsum of the case claimed the game had the original Japanese vocalization cast, just was deprived of such features. It as well tended to corrupt saved data from the original version of Budokai 3. Essentially, information technology was the original game disc repackaged over again.

Atari has released a correct version of the game, but has made no effort to distinguish it from the wrong version (aside from the shrinkwrap method mentioned below). Atari is at present offering to replace incorrect versions of the game with the correct i.^[1]

Information technology has been reported by some that the most recent shipment with the correct disc may be distinguished by the type of shrinkwrap information technology is packaged in. Atari apparently re-opened the packages to replace the defective discs, and re-wrapped them. These copies are wrapped in the same fashion as a retailer would shrinkwrap, sealed around the edges and slightly loose equally opposed to tight-plumbing equipment and folded at the corners.

The "correct" version is basically a direct port of the European Collector's Edition, only differing in aspects such as the non-vocal opening, "Hercule Metropolis" spelling in Dragon Universe, and a new retentiveness card information image.

Limited Edition

The Limited Edition Box Set includes the standard game, an exclusive glow-in-the-dark chibi figure of Broly wearing his in-game alternating costume, and a DVD containing a documentary titled "Backside the Screams", which features the U.S. voice actors going over the game's development, as well as the "Budokai 3 Super Trailer". The DVD also contains a URL linked to a webpage containing a sneak peek of upcoming Dragon Ball Z games.

Review compilations
Game Rankings	76.3% (based on 37 reviews)
Metacritic	77% (based on 32 reviews)

The game was given much higher reviews than its predecessors Dragon Ball Z: Budokai and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 (75% on Game Rankings). This can be attested to the fact that many critics felt that the game did more to meliorate its gameplay rather than just its graphics and presentation.

The game sold 642,000 in Japan according to Famitsu's 2005 finish of twelvemonth charts making it the near successful Dragon Ball Z game on the PS2 in that region.^[2] In the United States information technology sold 1.fourteen million copies.^[3]

Unused Content

Bulma was rumored to have been planned as a playable graphic symbol. This is supported by the fact that a full model for her exists in the game (it can be seen in the 11th stage in Training Mode), and there are World Tournament call-outs for her in both English and Japanese (additionally, the Express Edition DVD shows her voice actress recording fight lines for her). Information technology's possible to choose Bulma as an alternate costume for Videl using Action Replay codes in the Japanese version, though she is glitchy and cannot have skills equipped.

An unused model of Frieza in his hoverchair as well exists. Presumably, it would have been used during exploration in his Dragon Universe.

World Tournament call-outs likewise exist for Zarbon, Dodoria and Android xix (who were simply in the first Budokai game), suggesting they were planned to return in this game. A phone call-out for "Shin" also exists, though it presumably would have been used for Supreme Kai. Unused dialogue in the dragon universe story has graphic symbol interactions for Infant Vegeta, Janemba and Super 17 suggest that they were plan to be on the main roster.

Also in game data: Burter, Jeice, Guldo were gear up to appear in game to complete the whole Ginyu Force, but only Recoome and Ginyu made the terminal cut (The Budokai models of those iii, really apeared in Dragon Ball Heroes). In addition Gokule, Tiencha and Super Buu (Vegeta, Freeza, Yamcha & Tien, Jail cell absorptions) from Budokai 2 were also planned to return equally well https://www.youtube.com/picket?5=XaZk8IeWzsg

Additionally, unused dialogue suggests that every grapheme was planned to accept a Dragon Universe story mode, but fourth dimension constraints prevented that from happening. In the final game, only Goku, Child Gohan, Teen Gohan, Gohan, Vegeta, Krillin, Piccolo, Tien, Yamcha, Uub and Broly have Dragon Universe stories. The unused dialogue also suggests the possibility of a lot of "what-if" stories.

Trivia

This is the first Budokai game that allows players to fire volleys of ki blasts.
This is the first game in the Budokai series to feature characters from outside the main story, which include Bardock, Cooler, Broly and Gogeta from the DBZ films, Omega Shenron and the Super Saiyan 4 transformations fromDragon Ball GT, and Kid Goku and Demon Male monarch Piccolo (only a peel for Piccolo, which is unlockable in some versions of the game) from the originalDragon Ball.
This is the commencement game in which the story ofDragon Brawl GT is retold during the events of Z. In the context of the game, it can be assumed that theGT portion of the story takes place a few months after Kid Buu's defeat.
- In addition, theGTversions of Goku and Vegeta are non present in the game, and instead they are replaced with theirZ counterparts to become Super Saiyan 4.
The cover art for the video gameDragon Brawl FighterZis somewhat similar to the original North American cover fine art forBudokai 3.
Broly and Gogeta's boxing in the 2018 filmDragon Brawl Super: Brolycould be an homage toBudokai 3's intro, where hisZcounterpart is seen fighting Gogeta.
- Interestingly, Gogeta used the Super Kamehameha as his final movement against both versions.
- Both versions forced Goku and Vegeta to fuse into Gogeta to defeat them.
  
  Super Saiyan iv Gogeta'south alternating color scheme
This is the firstDragon Brawl Zgame that includes an alternate color scheme for Super Saiyan four Gogeta that closely resembles the fan-fabricated Super Saiyan 5 from the unofficialDragon Ball AF.
At that place is an easter egg that lets Yamcha be instantly defeated by a Saibaman's Saibaman Bomb, since this is how he died the showtime fourth dimension in the anime.
When the Babidi's Heed Control capsule is equipped to Vegeta, whatsoever of his armor becomes battle damaged when transformed.
Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks' Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack

When Gotenks uses Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack as a Super Saiyan 3, the ghosts that appear mimic his Super Saiyan 3 hair, which is absent in Budokai 2.

In this Budokai series, Trunks model has slightly inverse compared to early release.
