Video Gaming News - December 2002
Beverly, MA (December 4, 2002) - Infogrames, Inc today announced that
it has shipped Dragon Ball Z: Budokai for the PlayStation 2.
"Never before has there been a Dragon Ball Z game that is as true to the
property as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai," said Paul Rinde, senior vice president of
Infogrames. "The effort and attention to detail will be a huge payoff for fans
as Dragon Ball Z: Budokai truly recreates the epic storyline of the Dragon Ball
Z series in the interactive realm."
Chris Sabat, the Voice Director of Dragon Ball Z and the voice of Vegeta,
Piccolo, and Yamcha, added, "To be able to actually step inside the DBZ
universe, controlling your favorite character's moves, his attacks, in his
voice, is a completely surreal experience. The battle/duel section of the game
is worth the price of the game itself."
From Infogrames:
Dragon Ball Z: Budokai spans from the Saiyan Saga through Cell Games and
allows players to experience the fantastic confrontations that define the Dragon
Ball Z universe. Choose from five heart-pounding fighting modes, including Story
Mode, where players reenact some of the most exciting fighting scenes from the
animated series, and Tournament Mode, where players can face off to crown a
single Dragon Ball Z fighting champion.
A true parallel to the television series, which was the top rated show among
all U.S. cable TV programs for boys 9-14, tweens 9-14 and men 12-24 during this
season's launch lineup, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai puts players in some of the
show's most intense battles and heightens the star quality of the game via the
inclusion of the actual voice actors from the show. To date, the Dragon Ball,
Dragon Ball Z & Dragon Ball GT franchises have generated more than three billion
dollars in related merchandising and over 500 animated TV episodes.
