    This is actually a good Dragon Ball Z game.  This is probably still the best DBZ game out there.  If you have a PS2 and looking for a fighter, get this game.

    Wow, I'm not used to seeing Ryan sans Beard... or with bleached hair... or with a monotone... or not swearing his head off.
    Was this really what 2004 era Gamespot was like? I don't remember that much, except that WoW won game of the year and everyone was into RE4.

    Yo, is Burst Limit basically the same as Budokai 3? I played the demo. It felt exactly the same, but with a 360 controller.

    Its very similar but there are some mechanical differences, also there are very few characters. I being a budokai 3 master (always won against everyone I knew) did quite well on Burst Limit but I managed to lose, so its similar but has some mechancis that will throw you off.

    I like how monotone and uninspired to be there ryan is. His consistant bland look on his face is what makes this video hilarious.

    If I had been to Gamespot in 2004 I'd not visit GiantBomb this day or any other as punishment for what Jeff and Ryan look like in that Ultimate Battle 22 video :P

    I was at Gamespot in 04, but missed out on these vids. Mostly I just hung out in forums, waiting for Kotor II to come out.

    Oh man. That first video is so crazy. Maybe Ryan Davis wasn't used to being in front of the camera yet. The second video is pretty funny, but nowhere near the craziness of even a Quick Look video here on GB. These two men have certainly bettered their craft over the years. Now look at 'em. So full of life...and swear words that they probably weren't allowed to say on GS. Awesome guys. Awesome.

    Yeah, but I'm sure Ryan was super exited about doing a DBZ review. That's why he sounds like that.

    I still think the Tenkaichi series is better than the Budokai series.

    Dragon Rush is treated differently, as there is no more charge Ki and you can become "tired". I'm not sure wether you can cancel or not. however there is more variety in characcter moves, and you pick them at the beginning. You also choose your end move, which you can unleash any time
