DragonBall Z Budokai
Nintendo Gamecube ISO
MajinCry says:
Another Tekken clone, with worse graphics.
The characters look as if they are made with clay, and the game gets incredibly easy when you learn the controls. It's got nice cel-shading though.
The game itself centers around the three sagas ; Saiyan saga, Namek saga and Cell saga. There is not ...

Sony Playstation ISO
Garrendesares says:
Gran Turismo 2 is a driving simulator game for the PS1 and the best one out of the series in my opinion. You can choose from over 650 cars and 27 racing tracks. The cars are actual licensed ones and there is arcade mode and simulation mode and both are fun.

Mad Rabbit says:
This Namco arcade port features a masked, hunched man with a penchant for punching out zombies. The graphics and music aren’t too far from the arcade. This game, however, is a lot slower paced, and a lot gorier, and another amazing TG-16 arcade port.

Pontinho says:
The graphics are awesome and the sound is so clear that you can hear your robot's feet clang along the ground even when your friends are blowing stuff up and making a lot of noise. I wish this game had less talking and more fighting, and the story is kind of dumb, but in a way it is realistic. ...
