I could spend hours talking about how good Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is, but my words wouldn’t be enough to describe the greatness of this game.

Throughout the series, the studio improved even further and without stopping the construction of gameplay and extras. After finishing the main story, there is still a LOT of content to be done such as tower-style progression challenges, fighting several enemies in a row, and some other mechanics that I can’t remember right now. Some of them reward unlockable characters and others with power-ups that in this game come in the form of Potara earrings.

I honestly like how each character has their own gameplay and even the transformations. While some maintain the combat style, others completely change it.

The graphics for its time are very well polished and beautiful with vibrant colors and anime soundtracks that bring back a beautiful nostalgia.

Honestly, for me, this game is the pinnacle of what a fighting game should be. I haven’t tried its multiplayer yet, but I’ve played local multiplayer a lot and I’ve never had as much fun in a fighting game as I have with this one. RIP Akira Toriyama, not only left the best anime in the world but opened doors to create this wonderful game that marked an entire generation. My review? 5/5 The magnum opus of fighting games without a doubt.
