The Dragon Ball Z heroes Goku, Gohan, Piccolo and more are fighting Vegeta, Frieza the Androids and Cell in Dragonball Z: Budokai for Playstation 2 (PS2) Check out Kidzworld's game review here!

Dragon Ball Z fans get off the couch and do a dance of joy! Dragon Ball Z: Budokai is here on the Playstation 2 (PS2) and it's gonna let you pick your fave warriors from the Dragon Ball Z TV show and fight it out. You can pick from Gohan, Goku, Piccolo, and other Dragon Ball Z heroes, and battle against the Dragon Ball Z villains - Cell, Frieza, the Androids, and even Vegeta. The battles are on 3-D landscapes taken from the series, all the moves are there and you can even unleash a Kamehameha!

The high-speed action of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai will glue you to your controller as soon as you start it up. The combat system is simple, fast and lets you toss Ki Attacks with the tap of a button. You can also fly around, and transform, to unleash your true hidden power in the middle of a battle!


Dragon Ball Z


If Dragon Ball Z: Budokai's has a weakness, it's that the graphics aren't so hot for a Playstation 2 game. Some of the characters are a little fuzzy and the battlegrounds could put you to sleep before you manage to clobber your opponent. The only other problem with Dragon Ball Z: Budokai is that it zips through the Dragon Ball Z story in record time. Unless you already know what's going on, you're gonna get confused.


If you're a Dragon Ball Z fan - this is the game for you. If you aren't a Dragon Ball Z fan, it's still a solid fighting game, and worth checking out.

    Toughest DBZ Villain?

    • Vegeta - Goku's brother is the toughest.
    • It's gotta be the Androids - they're hardcore!
    • The creepy Frieza is the strongest.
    • Cell's way tougher than the rest of the villains.

    Okay, it's not a major console or PC game, but the "How to Train Your Dragon" game just became free so I thought I'd share. I absolutely loved "How to Train Your Dragon," so I was so happy when I saw this app finally become free. It's so fun for a simple puzzle mobile game! It's so well-done, AND YOU CAN PLAY AS TOOTHLESS. Ahh, it's the best! Just thought I'd share this with you all in case there are other "How to Train Your Dragon" fans out there!

    At least you aren't restricted to TTC/or be only able to try the 3-day trial.  We're actually very lucky now; nonmembers don't give Disney a lick of money. I think Toontown is very different from Club Penguin.  It has a full plot and it's 3-Dimensional.  Also, you don't really do all that much in Club Penguin other than chat and do some mini-missions.  Also, the games were targeted to a different audience... and I feel that Toontown has more memories than Club Penguin; though that may be a bit biased as I don't really have any friends on Club Penguin (LOL), don't really play anymore anyway.
