Oh, man. That Japanese VO. It's tearing apart my childhood.

As someone who grew up with the original before it was brought over to the US, I can say the same thing about the dub. Nostalgia hits in different ways!

That said, one of these days a DBZ game developer needs to try and get a DBZ Abridged vocal track as an unlockable option or something. Sure, it would probably mean M rating due to language, but it would be completely worth it!

The fact that this is still a thing depresses me. I hated it when I was 10, and I hate it now.

what saga does it go up to ? the best i can tell is its upto the buu saga and not going into GT wich is a shame omega shenron was kinda cool to play as. im asuming there not going crazy roster aswell but it would be amusing if its called "ultimate tenkaichi" and has a less substantial roster than the last tenkaichi game

I was never against Eurogamer review. In their standard, an 8 is like a 9-9.5 in other places. Their high scored games normally have to be worth it. Though you can also publish their reviews for DW Gundam 2 and 3. Both scored and 8 over there, and were perfectly reviewed.

I always think that as long as a reviewer makes a point, and does not troll (IGNs review on DW Gundam 3 for example) any score is valid. Be it a 1 or a 10.

I will buy this once it drops down to $39.99. I refuse to pay full price.

I am not used to the Japanese voices for these characters at all.

@thenexus: That's an interesting anecdote. Do they feel the same about the whole series, outside of "Z"? However, In all my time in the fandom and hanging out at daizex.com, I've never heard that; more the opposite, especially with it comes to how, er, "modified" the initial English dubs were with changed dialogue, music and cuts (but that's a whoooole other discussion).

In general, I still really recommend fans watch the series in Japanese starting from Dragonball, to see how the VA's evolve and the depth of their performances (and I feel a lot of Z is given more weight with Dragonball in context, given that they're the same manga). :) But if someone thinks Japanese Son Goku sounds like a kid or stupid, I'm not going to bother to try and change their mind other than to make that recommendation.

I got time to ask one of the guys. Seems over in Japan from his perspective (You always got to consider the peoples circles and they always differ and can not be taken as all of Japan of course!) Not many people are fans after Z, Dragonball and Z are the fan favs. Freeza saga by far seems to be one of the most popular.

He does agree some of the change of wording annoys him but from what I can gather from him and the other guys who can speak English while they do not say it directly what he says when you talk to him you can see how he appreciates how whiny and overly high pitch it all is in the native.

He certainly loves both for different reasons.

Your also right - everyone has a different opinion and you can only go on what you feel and what others say. At the end of the day there is a version for everyone and if you like any of them it is all good :)

As I mentioned, I got signed artwork and met the guy who does a lot of the voices for the English one such as Freeza and Piccolo and he's a cool guy.
