Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budōkai (Dragon Ball Z: The True Martial Arts Tournament) is a 3D fighting game developed by Dimps and published by Bandai for the Sony PlayStation Portable originally released 07 March 2006 in North America and later 20 April 2006 in Japan.
Shin Budokai would be the first of several Dragon Ball titles developed by Dimps for the PlayStation Portable, succeeded the following year by its sequel Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budōkai 2 and later the movie tie-in game Dragonball Evolution.
Gameplay
Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budōkai adapts the gameplay of Dimps Dragon Ball Z (Budokai) series. Unlike the Sparking! series which allows free roam from the player, characters here are locked solely to moving closer to their opponent, or approaching. Action typically takes place on a single plane, though the player is able to side-step around their opponent to avoid attacks or projectiles.
Players can attack with a light or a heavy standard attack, along with standard Ki attacks. Rather than inputting a sequence of combos like traditional fighting games, special moves can be executed instantly, provided the user has enough Ki to execute the move. Along with a standard block and a dodge mechanic, players can also activate a teleport to escape a combo string in exchange for energy.
Game Modes
- Dragon Road: Fight in a story scenario following the events of Dragon Ball Z Movie 12.
- Arcade: Single player arcade mode. Fight 10 computer opponents, collecting Dragon Balls as you go.
- Z-Trial: Fight under special conditions such as survival and time attack.
- Network Battle: Battle against another player using the PlayStation Portable's ad hoc mode.
- Training: Endless practice mode.
- Profile Card: Create a custom trainer card using stamps and stickers unlocked throughout the game.
Story
Shin Budōkai roughly follows the story of Dragon Ball Z Movie 12. A work accident in Hell results in the creation of the monster Janemba and the escape of various villains previously trapped in Hell. As Goku and Pikkon attempt to deal with Janemba in Hell, the other warriors fight off the escaped enemies who are now invading Earth.

Chris Roper of IGN gave the game a 7 out of 10, praising its graphical presentation and single-player campaign, while also noting the lack of depth in it's combat.[3]

With the capsule system that added longevity to the PS2 games (admittedly at the cost of balance) gone, just a couple of characters to unlock to complete the roster (not including the various transformation levels that can be opened up) and your bog-standard array of fighting game modes, there really isn't that much here to keep you coming back for more.
