It's often considered one of the best DBZ games and I can understand why.
The story is broken up into sagas, with each saga representing each saga in the show. It's not groundbreaking by any means, but this game takes it further by also giving you story fights from the original DB series, the GT series and of course the movies. The more you play these sagas, the more characters you unlock and there are a LOT. If there was ever time you wanted to play a character from a particular set of episodes, or from any of the movies, chances are that character is unlockable here.
Combat isn't as nearly as fleshed out as later titles would be, with the majority of the beam moves like the Kamehameha and Galick Gun pretty much being the same thing but with different coats of paint. The damage these special moves do tend to be around the same level as each other anyway, making them all feel the same. Combos really aren't difficult either. I'd say this could be a very good introduction to arena fighters to those who have never played.
This DBZ game is definitely one for the fans who want fanservice, as there's a pretty good amount of it, especially in the character roster alone.
Visual presentation is great, probably the best the series has seen on PS2, and the soundtrack has some bangers in there but don't expect any of the scores from the shows or movies.
If you're a DBZ fan who hasn't played this out yet, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
