Synopsis :
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, originally published as Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor (ドラゴンボールZ Sparking! METEOR, Doragon Bōru Zetto Supākingu! Meteo) in Japan, is the third installment of the Budokai Tenkaichi series and the last to be released on consoles. The game was released for PlayStation 2 and Wii in Japan on October 4, 2007, in North America on November 13, 2007 and in Europe on November 9, 2007 for the PlayStation 2 (the Wii version was released in Japan on October 4, 2007, in North America on December 3, 2007, in Europe and Australasia on February 15, 2008).
Tenkaichi 3 features 98 characters in 161 forms, the largest roster in a fighting game at the time. citation needed] Ryo Mito once stated that the game would feature never-before-seen characters made exclusively for the game.
Several new notable features include Battle Replay, which allows players to record fights and save them to an SD card; Night and day stages, which allows certain characters ability to transform; and the Wii version features online multiplayer capability, the first game in the series to have such a feature. Players can fight against anyone from around the globe with a ranking system showing the player’s current standing compared to anyone else who has played online. The PlayStation 2 version features the “Disc Fusion System”, where inserting a Tenkaichi 1 or Tenkaichi 2 disc unlocks the “Ultimate Battle” or “Ultimate Battle Z” modes, featured in the respective games needed to unlock them. The game also supports 480p for both the Wii and the PlayStation 2 versions.
Other features include more combo attacks or character specific combos, Blast Combos, and the Z Burst Dash. The additional combo attacks will be able to help chain in more attacks for more damage and longer combos. The Blast Combos are normal combos used in the game, however by inputting another button into the attack will allow the player to use a blast attack for extra damage. Depending on the moves of the character the player might not be able to use this feat such as Videl or Hercule. The Z Burst Dash is a much faster and more evasive version of the Dragon Dash. It allows the user to get behind the opponent at high speeds for either a strike or to avoid a blast 2 attack. The drawback to this technique is that it will rapidly drain the player of energy. Also to charge up all their energy, the player must have one blast one stock filled up to power up to the very limit.
