Genres:Fighting
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:The game is an HD collection that features both Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 1 and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 enhanced and re-mastered in HD, alongside full Trophy and Achievements support. The graphics of Budokai 3 HD are similar to those of Dragon Ball Z: W Bakuretsu Impact. Since Kenji Yamamoto's original soundtracks have been accused of plagiarism, both included games have entirely new soundtracks mixed from the soundtracks of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team, and Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, plus entirely new music and the American Dragon Ball Z theme song from the original game and show. Both games also support the optional original Japanese language track (but in Europe, only Japanese is available for Budokai 1, much like the original release).Show more

I previously had Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 1 on PS2. I later gotten this compilation that also had Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3. I already played Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 on a different console as a rental. To clarify this is 1 and 3 that's it. Two notably different takes on the same franchise. Personally both of them are in most aspects are fantastic licensed fighting games. Although in a few areas Budokai 3 is much more impressive. You simply get much more content in comparison. It's mind blowing this didn't get Xbox backward compatibility. Honestly, these are of the best Dragon Ball games I ever played!!! If you're a huge Dragon Ball fans, you're absolutely going to love this!!! I do think this would sell incredibly well on GOG.

Real Bout Fatal Fury
Real Bout Fatal FuryReal Bout changes the play controls from the previous Fatal Fury games, reducing the number of attack buttons from four to three: a standard Punch and Kick button, a "Strong Attack" button which can be either a stronger punch or kick attack, depending on the character. The game retains the three-plane "oversway" system from Fatal Fury 3, which features a main lane for fighting, with foreground and background planes used to avoid attacks or leap towards the opponent. A dedicated button is now used to make an "oversway" (or change plane) towards the background or foreground. Real Bout introduces a Power Gauge, which fills up as the player performs normal or special techniques against their opponent or defend themselves, similar to many super move gauges featured in other fighting games. The Power Gauge allows players to perform one of three types of Special Techniques, depending of the level of the Power Gauge. Real Bout also introduces stages with ring-outs, a gameplay feature previously introduced in 3D fighting games such as Virtua Fighter. If the player performs certain attacks on their opponent while next to the boundaries, the character will eventually destroy the barrier keeping the opponent in the ring and be able to knock them out of the stage for an easy win.
