You really, really don't. The world has suffered enough with just the US being infected with its poison.

I had it for a day before I returned it to Gamestop. I was gonna do a youtube review, but I couldn't stomach it.

Shin Budokai 1's story mode oughta be made into an original animated release or new movie, that'd certainly own IMO.

Gohan: H-Huh? That's weird...Why haven't I transformed? Oh! Mom did the laundry
yesterday! It must not be dry yet... I have another change over at Videl's
place... S-Sorry about that! Looks like I can't do it today...

Aww, Gohan. I knew you weren't a wuss deep down. Take that, Rocketman!

That damned Chichi, picking out Gohan's underwear.

Ah well, Angela thought it was cute.

He's 16, man, if he keeps wearing it, it's his own fault.

Anyways, it's not like it takes balls to get with Videl. Erasa proved that.

Are you sure? Have you played it?

I have. I personally haven't experienced the mass of glitches others complain about (but they do exist), but it's not a great game.

The novelty of it being a adventure-type game will last you through a play-through, and it is fun to play two-player every now and then.

It just doesn't have the staying power of Budokai or Tenkaichi, and if you encounter too many glitches and stop playing, there's not much incentive to keep playing.

Replay value isn't great, either. Sure, you can use any character you've unlocked in any level, but most of the characters play exactly the same but for the amount of damage they deal, and once you get tired of the levels, there's not much else there.

If you can get it for cheap, it's not too bad. Just don't expect a great game like Budokai or Tenkaichi.

Is there something special you have to do to be able to play two-player? When I tried I couldn't get past the character select screen cause it wouldn't let me do anything.

I don't think there was. Did you both pick your characters?

It wouldn't even let us do that much. Neither control responded to anything except backing out to the menu.

Probably one of the infamous glitches, then...

Wow, an argument about underwear. Here I thought something like this would happen for Dr. Briefs' family pun.

On topic, I like how in Shin Budokai 1, Teen Gohan briefly loses it. It kinda expands on that extreme cockiness and desire to make Cell suffer from the Cell Games saga, which considering Gohan's never been shown to have a dark side on any other occasion, I find intriguing. Though we have Goku's death to thank for snapping him out of it.

That's what I was afraid of....oh well I got the game free anyway. (It was a buy 2 get one free deal.)

2) "Mystic Future Gohan." I understand the sentiment, but for God's sake, let Mirai Trunks get that, the story of that timeline is one with HIM as the main character and hero, and Gohan in an old mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi type role. "Mystic Mirai Trunks" would have been so flippin' cool. He doesn't even get SS2!

Am I the only one who feels this way?
