X-Play's review of "Dragon Ball Z: Budokai" (2004)

[DB1984]

Here is X-Play's review of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai from 2004, back when they were still a TechTV show; later that same year, X-Play became a G4 show.

I remember this review fairly well. Co-hosts Adam Sessler & Morgan Webb were bashed by DBZ Fanboys for pronouncing "Saiyan" as "Sigh-On". But, as it turned out, that WAS the correct way to pronounce such word. I even recall Sessler addressing this about three weeks later during a viewer mail segment, that for some reason, when DBZ was brought over to the states in 1996, the pronunciation of "Saiyan" was changed.

It's never been that? It's Sigh-Ahn if anything...

Whether or not the story is dumb is subjective, but I can say the reason the story doesn't make sense is because a lot of those plot elements (the tail thing) are from Dragon Ball. I agree that the game isn't really great, I don't think the series really hit it's full potential until the third.
