Gameplay
While the game is especially the same as the prior installments, it has notable differences; first off, most of the interactive button prompts (such as Dragon Rushes) where removed, and scrapped in favor of more simplistic mechanics. Ultimates can be performed freely, and have their cinematic touches notably reduced and/or removed outright. A majority of special attacks done with E + left or right can now also be charged up for more damage and/or a longer duration at the cost of more ki expended.
The game also includes a brand new technique known as the "Aura Burst" which allows your character to move across the screen at high speed toward the opponent. When Bursting and pressing an attack button, you could dish out fast combos or blows that stun your opponent. Making long chain combos similar to the ones from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 which were more difficult at that time, but blocking was made slightly easier by using the Aura Burst as a canceler. Despite most of the criticism, Shin Budokai's fighting system was deeper than initially expected due to several new indirect mechanics.
Arcade
In this mode, you select your character, and head out to battle. The objective of this mode is to collect all the Dragon Balls. Although, you do not get any wishes of your own, the characters ask the eternal dragon for something they want. You'll fight 10 opponents in a row, and at certain points in the Arcade Mode, you'll come across an opponent you'll have a dialog scene with.
