The Next Dragon Ball is Here

Atari announced today that Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 has shipped to North American retailers for the PlayStation 2. With the power of the new Saiyan Overdrive Fighting System, players have unprecedented gameplay control and Dragon Ball Z authenticity. Players earn points, allowing them to customize their characters and create passwords to share custom characters via the Internet.

"The Budokai series of Dragon Ball Z games has established itself as a successful fighting franchise in part because its in-game features have consistently become more sophisticated and authentic with each new product introduction," said Matt Collins, Director of Brand Marketing for Atari's Beverly Studio. "This year's installment takes the biggest gameplay leap forward yet with the introduction of the Saiyan Overdrive Fighting System, making Budokai 3 the best DBZ fighting game ever made."
