What Browser do you use? Google Chrome, Internet Explorer.	Y'know, let's do it for old time's sake: Best 5. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit The most underrated DBZ game of all-time. Although small on content this game makes up for the really great fighting system. It's like Shin Budokai but more streamlined mechanics and all the characters were completely different (first for a DBZ game). It was the perfect balance between accessibility and functionality, and not only that but the graphics were gorgeous. We need a new game like this. Just fix the Ki system, please. 4. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 A fan favorite. I might chase heat for having it this low but f* it... with over 160 characters including transformations it has the most extensive roster of any DBZ game. Every character you can think of is here but not only that there was a lot to keep you busy such as Ultimate Battle mode where you play through 100 different missions, survival fighting as many opponents as you can, a Dragon Sim that incredibly hard to master, and disc fusion with the first two games. The combat was also, while not a complete overhaul like it's big brother BT2 was over the first game, was considerably improved with greater speed, more varied and skillful combo system, and overall more balanced... it was the ultimate DBZ experience. There are a few stupid, stupid designs that keep it from getting higher such as automatic lock-on, Dragon Tour bulls, the lackluster single-player campaign, and lag-city online for Wii. 3. Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai - Another Road The combat is similar to Budokai 3's but with some major changes such as a more intuitive combo system of rush and smash attacks instead of punches and kicks, chargeable ki blasts/supers, and is completely streamlined with no silly gimmicks to slow gameplay down. Super/Ultimate moves are all now integral to characters as are transformations (which is somehow ruined in the game) and the overall speed is even greater than B3's. What holds it back though is the single-player campaign is lame (though creative), the roster is very unbalanced, and it's a PSP game so no local multiplayer unless the other player owns his own PSP and game UMD plus there's no online play. 2. Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World This game uses the Budokai 3 engine but it's actually a huge improvement in several ways such as the inclusion of the defensive maneuvers and movement options from Shin Budokai and Burst Limit, even greater combo individuality, the removal of Dragon Rush, and the capsule system is more balanced and streamlined. You also didn't have the go in and out the Skill Shop repeatedly to get the capsules you want like in B3... everything is immediately available to you. What keeps it from #1 is certain elements it carries over aren't properly implement such as the fatigue system from BL and several of the real-time ultimate moves, the mini-games in Dragon Mission are godawful, and nullifiers are too predominant. 1. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 Another fan favorite. If you know me it's no secret that I fING LOVE this game... even more than IW which I fING LOVE... even more than BT3 which I fING... like a lot. This game does just about everything right making for a very well-rounded package. It was a massive improvement from it's predecessors as it proved not only to be a great DBZ game but just great in general.... with a single-player campaign that gives it near infinite replay value, vastly improved combat that was not only far deeper and strategic but actually felt like a DBZ fight, gorgeous (for the time) cel-shaded graphics, the removal of the generic redundant physical capsules, and the super addictive Dragon Arena. The only complaint I have is unlocking things is still a bit of a chore and Dragon Rush is annoying after awhile. Worst 5. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z Between the incredibly shallow combat and sty graphics style this game is just not good. Combat is a pure mashfest with mandatory Co-op and all the characters are pretty much the same with the only thing separating them is a lame type system. You also cannot replenish ki in combat... you couldn't even power up and it committed the ultimate sin on a fight... NO LOCAL MULTIPLAYER!!! There is no reason for this game to exist and I'm glad it failed. It's not just a poor fighting game but a pretty bad DBZ game as well. 4. Dragon Ball Z For Kinect It's Ultimate Tenkaichi but without the things that made UT... passable. Combat that's somehow more braindead and even more repetitive than UT's with broken Kinect controls that makes you look like an idiot, watered-down story mode, and NO MULTIPLAYER... AT ALL!!!!! At least it looks nice even though it's the same graphics as UT. 3. Dragon Ball Z: Sagas This game is just sad. It promised something great and original but instead we were flung s in the face. Boring, glitchy, and exploitable gameplay. Subpar graphics. All the characters play exactly the same which made the extra mode where you can play as other characters pretty much worthless. It lied about the open-world which is wasted on a linear beat 'em up and not a very creative one at that. It just flatout SUCKS!!! 2. Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu What's a worst DBZ game list without this pile of Oozaru s? Ugly graphics, sty MK-clone with DBZ skin combat, unlockables you don't care about, and there's nothing appealing about this game whatsoever. The only thing that made it worth a damn is rendered obsolete by later games which is playing as Broly for the first time. 1. Dragon Ball: Final Bout TOSE's second failed attempt to bring Super Butoden to the firth gen of gaming. Yeah, I made it no secret that I hate this game with a seething passion. Never before has a game has ever given me a headache just from playing it till this game and for good reason. It's combat is filled with exploits and is completely unbalanced which is accompanied by horribly sluggish and delayed controls. The AI is also dumb as s* as well as being cheap motherf***er by spamming that annoying Meteor combo feature which for life of I can never do and when a game gives you the option to turn off one of it's main gimmick you know there's a problem. The fact that anyone can like this game astounds me. This is not only the worst DBZ game I've ever play but this is also the WORST FIGHTING GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!!! The only good thing about it is the soundtrack... which you can just buy on CD for a similar price as the full game. The only thing you'd miss is the pain.

Budokai 1 A few notes about the bad games: Legacy of Goku and Budokai 1 triggered two very good games, but the games in themselves felt unfairly difficult at times and the reward was minimum. Transformation was an okay game, it just didn't hold a candle to it's predecessors.

Not sure why you'd get any heat for putting BT3 that low, all the games in that list are great, I could see why some people would like Another Road better than BT3, and Budokai 3 has always been referred to as one of the best. Let's face it BT3's flaws sorta stick out a bit too much.

魔王子 Posts: 9,798 Group: Elite Member Member #10,492 Joined: November 16, 2013 Gender Male Favourite Anime Dragon Ball Z What Browser do you use? Google Chrome Favourite Manga Dragon Ball	Best 1. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 This was the first Dragon Ball Z game I ever bought, so it holds a ton of sentimental value, but going beyond that, it has the best music, the best story mode in any Dragon Ball game, a great roster, and some of the better gameplay in the franchise. The cancels and the max power combos are really fun to mess around with. I certainly wish the snap vanishes that were in BT3 were in the game tho. 2. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse I dumped at least 100 hours into this game, partly due to the bull s* RNG, but still, I had a lot of fun with this game. The character creator was competent, and this was the first time I got to play as SSGSS Goku and SSGSS Vegeta. I also really like the twist on the story, but the gameplay itself was a bit lacking. Xenoverse 2 seems to be making strides to fix this. 3. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 I think it really speaks to this games quality that I have no nostalgic attachment to this game. I played a handful of versus matches with my friends back '05 I believe it was, but I don't have many memories. Where this game really shines is the gameplay, but it is hampered by the Dragon Rush. The story is also really fun, having a level up system and an over world. Also, being able to pick one Vegeta and transform into whatever form is nice. 4. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 This game is pretty much all gameplay, as there really isn't a story to be seen. Galaxy mode can be fun distraction I guess, but thankfully the gameplay itself is engaging, having both a cancel and follow up system, with the addition of the Raging Soul mode, makes this game one of the most fun Dragon Ball experiences. It's just a shame there isn't much to do outside local versus and online play. 5. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit While unfortunately limited to the Cell Arc, the story in Burst Limit is incredible. The cinematics and in-game graphics are incredible, still one of the best looking next-gen Dragon Ball games, and it was the first one made. The gameplay is no slouch either. The great gameplay from the Budokai franchise returns, and it's incredibly satisfying. Unfortunately the character roster is very tiny, and the drama pieces can get in the way of the fighting. Worst I've only played one Dragon Ball game that I consider bad, and that's Battle of Z, I can't really speak to others, but I never picked up Ultimate Tenkaichi because I didn't like what I saw, and I didn't have a Kinect, but even if I did, I still wouldn't have picked up DB for Kinect. And of course I hear that Final Bout, Taiketsu, Sagas, and the first Legacy of Goku game are terrible. Edited by ThePrinceOfSaiyans**, Oct 5 2016, 12:38 AM.
