The game was met with fair criticism with gaming critics complimenting the battle system, its visuals, and its ability to stay true to the series. The game is one of the first games in the Dragon Ball franchise to be published by Namco Bandai in America, as the company would acquire the gaming license from previous license holder Atari in July of that same year. The storyline in Attack of the Saiyans begins with the Dragon Team training for the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament and ends with the battle against Vegeta (similar to the 1994 Game Boy video game Dragon Ball Z: Goku Hishōden).
These prospects are why the game's debut at the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour in Las Vegas earlier this week drew this Stone Cold Steve Austin-worthy pop from the crowd in attendance.The game is a turn based RPG that allows players to take on the role of six characters from the series, starting from the Piccolo Jr. While the new, official Budokai Tenkaichi doesn't yet have a name or even any concrete details about its contents, the appearance of Super Saiyan Blue Goku in the teaser certainly suggests that it'll similarly take the series into the Dragon Ball Super era. Maybe the most notable of those mods is Budokai Tenkaichi 4, a fan game that adapts the events of Dragon Ball Super into the BT3 engine. While console games aren't typically known for their modability, there are dozens - if not hundreds - of hacks for the PS2 game, adding everything from Dragon Ball Super characters to utterly bizarre crossovers with the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants and John Wick. That's why series fans have been subsisting on mods for Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for much of the past decade. While the BT series has seen a few spin-offs and the arena brawling style lives on in games like Xenoverse 2, no other title really offers the same feeling of smashing all your DBZ action figures against each other. While the Budokai Tenkaichi series mostly got mediocre reviews, Dragon Ball fans loved them for their massive rosters and gloriously unbalanced battles. If you ever wanted to pit Goku against characters as obscure as Spopovich, these were your games.
These were 3D, arena-based fighting games with massive stages to brawl in and even bigger rosters to select from. The first Budokai Tenkaichi launched on PS2 in 2005, and continued with two sequels released on PS2 and Wii in 20.
A new entry in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series has been announced, and after more than a decade supported only by community mods and nostalgia, fans are beyond excited to finally get a brand-new game.
