Additional Information

Featuring the largest lineup of characters yet seen in a Dragon Ball Z game, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 includes 161 playable fighters and 30 destructible stages. As in previous games, the visuals feature cel-shaded graphics designed to mirror the popular anime's look. Players can choose from ten game modes as they prepare to battle the AI or a friend with their favorite character's assortment of melee, ranged, and aerial attacks.

One of the biggest new features is the ability to fight on certain stages in the day or at night, allowing certain characters to transform. Also new is the Battle Replay option that revisits the last fight with multiple camera angle choices. Exclusive to the PlayStation 2 version is a "Disc Fusion System," where owners of the first two Budokai Tenkaichi games can swap discs and unlock additional play options.

  • Play as or against such new characters as Nail, King Cold and King Vegeta

  • Battle in day and night stages

  • Unlock new game modes with the Disc Fusion system
