I'm pretty much finished with DBZ Budokai now. I completed the main story mode, as well as all the optional chapters. I finished the tournament mode on easy and normal. I then completed the Hercule mode on easy. Beyond that, I've been replaying the tournament mode to earn more skills to customize characters. But its starting to get boring now, and the harder difficulty settings aren't as much fun. The tournament mode is getting quite frustrating, as you can lose by being thrown out of the fighting area, like on the show. But its a pain being in the final fight, at almost full health, and losing this way. And each fight has this annoying announcer telling you who's fighting... it takes about 10 seconds before each fight, not counting normal load times. So its not fun to keep starting over.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the game, but I think I've done all I can do and still have fun playing. I might go back later and try for full completion with all skills and difficulties completed, but I'm considering this game beaten for all intents and purposes. I would considering writing a review, but I'm not sure how it could come out well with my lack of experience with this genre.
