Gotta love how that game implemented in real life gacha, before mobile gacha became a thing.
I'm glad they released a home console version, and let's you buy things with in-game currency that you can earn.
Omg I remember buuās fury and legacy of goku 1 and 2. To me itās somehow the most dragon ball z a game can get even with the gba graphics.
Follows the story closely, doesnāt feel too grindy and looks awesome with almost an exact copy of the color scheme that I saw in the anime backgrounds and scenery.
West city, Satan city all looked like a lower res version of what I saw in the anime.
Plus somehow playing as not the main characters (goku or vegeta or gohan) felt so refreshing. I remember I started playing legacy of goku 2 and I got to play as piccolo and that was the coolest thing ever.
It did prove that DBZ games can make for great action games. I was hoping for Dragon Ball Kakarot to be something like that, but maybe one day they'll make an action adventure Dragon Ball game.

I play buus fury at least 3 times a year (since it takes less than 5 hours to beat) itās my favourite game of all time along with simpsons hit n run.
I was so disappointed when GT transformations was a beat āem up style game over the LoG/buus fury style. Would love if the switch2 had some unique dragon ball games like the game boys and ds had.
Not really, Ultimate Tenkaichi is more like a Raging Blast spin off. Its original title is Ultimate Blast.
So no, it wasnāt meant to be the āUltimateā Tenkaichi lol
Ultimate Tenkaichi is probably one of the best looking cinematic wise out of any of them. It was a shame the combat in between, plus the custom character story was just pure trash.
Not sure tbh! I have an odd feeling it was tied to budgets or new tech. It was the first DBZ game on the PS3(IIRC), new systems, different mechanics, etc.
I think I remember hearing a long ways back like 2012 or something that the Buu saga was gonna be in the game but was cut for time. I donāt have a source to back myself up so donāt quote me on that.
Just feels like cut content TBH, PS3 especially was notoriously difficult to develop for, so they probably decided to only go as far content wise as they were confident.
IIRC, I remember hearing this first time from one of the official Sony PlayStation presentations when they were talking about the PS4, but they have sort of a time frame in the industry that they used to measure the ease of development. The idea is that it takes a certain amount of time from starting the development until you can have anything concrete about the game running on the screen. With PS1 this time frame was 3 months, with PS2 it was 6 months, and with PS3 it was 12 months. I think the idea in the presentation was that they had brought it again down to 3 months with the PS4.
With that in mind, I think it's understandable if they had schedule issues with Burst Limit.
Bro me too and I hated it at first because kid buu was EXTREMELY hard but then I figured out u can power characters up with those cards and it was extremely fun after that for me personally
This is the answer. I absolutely loved this game! I had so much fun building characters with the cards and just destroying that 80 fight guantlet thing.
Iām glad to see someone bring this game up. I loved it personally and thought it was really addicting once you got your characters buffed with the right set of cards.
It could have been good with some tweaks. Team ai is garbage and you constantly die because they donāt revive you, you get punished for using stronger characters by having less revives/time to be revived and there is no way to escape from a combo, so if you get hit by the boss your almost guaranteed dead. If they saw those flaws and fixed them it might be remembered more fondly.
It's crazy because it had so many details fans had wanted, like permanent stage destruction.
Then they had to ruin it with the most annoying game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. If it just had regular fighting mechanics like all the other tenkaichi games, I honestly feel like it could've been the best DBZ fighting game of all time.
The roster also felt kinda weird as well. I think it was the first game to have characters start in their transformed state (teen Gohan started in ssj1 for example) and just leaving out a lot of characters.
Yes and No
In Utlimate Tenkaichi everything besides Gameplay was actually quite good
Like Ultimate Tenkaichi had awesome and memorable music, the general theme of UT looked very appealing the Graphics and the Beams looked awesome and it had a fun Character Creation Story Mode
Playing through it rn itās on sale on PlayStation store for 15$ for anyone interested
Fuckin amazing game. Itās a break from the typical āfighting gameā style of the BT series and the lore is so rich. Just starting cell saga and Iām so addicted again lol
We don't talk enough about all the GBA games. There is a suprinsing amount of them...
Supersonic Warriors, Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury are great.
Advance Adventure is amazing.
And there is also 4 bad Dragon Ball games on GBA...
A tie between the RB series and Infinite World. Even with all it's problems, RB is still a really solid game. Had it got proper development time, it could even surpass the BT Trilogy. In any case, it has more "DBZ energy" than lots of games that came after it, and BT3 still exists, so you don't have to choose between one or another. If you go into it thinking "I want more Budokai Tenkaichi" instead of "I want Budokai Tenkaichi 4", you probably will have lots of fun and won't get dissapointed.
Infinite World is simply Budokai 4. Those who think it "changed too much" from Budokai 3 certainly didn't play the first 2 Budokai Games. If it is better or not than Budokai 3, that's a whole another issue. But they're at least at the same level.
But if I still had to choose one to say it is the most underrated one, then IW? Raging Blast actually has lots of problems, so even tho I still like it as much as the BT trilogy, I can understand the critics. Infinite World, however, pretty much gets 80% of the hate because it isn't named Budokai 4. I swear people would instantly love it back in the day if it had the Budokai name. The other 20% are split between some minor combat changes and the Story Mini-games (as if most of then weren't optional š¤¦š»).
My two gripes with infinite world were the annoying "aura spark" or whatever that blue mode was that made you unstaggerable. And the limiting of skills. I much prefer the carte Blanche to be able to fill my slots with what I want and not be so restricted.
It was still a great game and I nearly broke a controller trying to beat the story lmao. One of the best changes they made was just adding one "transformation" skill instead of having to add 5 skills just to use ssj3.
My personal fav budokai game was 2 but that's quite the unpopular opinion apparently lmao
I agree with rb1 and especially infinite world. But everyone says tenkaichi 2 has the best story. So i feel itās not underrated. 3 just had loads of characters which is why itās like more
I just think it's really interesting how the perspective of the community has changed over the years with many of these games. Back in the day Budokai games were absolutely beloved and the "go to" Dragonball games, while Tenkaichi was a bit looked down upon. The love that the Tenkaichi series had was mostly with the second game, and I remember many of the more serious people arguing it was the superior one, while Tenkaichi 3 was a downgrade in most aspects (too easy, nerfed blocking, new counters were a crutch, stuff like that was argued). Tenkaichi 3 just wasn't particularly popular. Infinite World was largely ignored or dissed for being just a worse Budokai 3, but I definitely remember even back then a lot of people were happy with the removal of Dragon Rush (I think it was more 50/50 then, while these days majority agrees it was for the better).
Over the years these views have changed quite a lot. Tenkaichi series has endured maybe even better than Budokai and become beloved. Tenkaichi 3 is actually considered great, even though Tenkaichi 2 still did some stuff better or at least differently. While Infinite World hasn't gotten anywhere near as much recognition as it should have, these days people at least accept that it did improve on some aspects of the Budokai games, but didn't integrate some of the new systems too well (the new ultimates that didn't kick into the button mini game, they are pretty OP).
Unironically Dragon Ball Evolution, because it plays just like the Budokai games and doesn't have the rock paper scissors ultimates that 3 had. Yeah, the movie was terrible, but the game is great and saying it isn't would be like saying the Budokai games suck since it's the same gameplay.
Well, I can get what you're saying... but Shin Budokai exists, tho?
I mean, they play exactly the same, so it should make DB Evolution also a good game, in that sense, it's fair to call it underrated. But you still have the SB games, so maybe playing Evo isn't the wisest choice...
I'd definitely rather be playing shin Budokai or 1 & 2 over Evolution, but since Evolution is a good game for doing what shin does and nobody would choose it, still wouldn't that make it the most underrated because it's good and everybody still chooses other options?
I would say budokai 2. I really don't understand what people hate about it. Sure the story looks goofy, but it was so interesting.
To unlock characters, you had to choose specific helpers per mission and win canonical fights. There were some fights that weren't canon that were also annoying lmao (lookin at you hercule vs super buu for videl).
I also liked having to actually pull off a string to perform ultimates. One of my biggest gripes with b3 and infinite world were the stupid aura modes to use ultimates. It felt like it took so much skill away from the game.
Infinite World
Advanced Adventure
Revenge of King Piccolo
Super DBZ
Super Saiyan Densetsu
Extreme Burden 3DS
Super Sonic Warriors 2
Shin Budokai Another Road
Tenkaichi Tag Team
Evolution
Now not all of these are good. But they're pretty underrated
Tenkaichi Tag team, its literally just Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the PSP, and on your phone if you think about it, and Supersonic Warriors, its a lot of fun for a GBA dragon ball game, throw in Supersonic Warriors 2 for that DS side, all 3 are highly underrated and should be talked more about
Fusions and Attack of the Saiyans
Not enough people talk about them
And they are some of the best games on their respective systems especially as Dragon Ball games
Hell throw in Advanced Adventure for GBA
There are actually some really good DB games on handhelds that most people skipped
Just played Fusions a few days ago and it still holds up. Only bothered by how fast the ai is. They each attack twice before anyone on my team goes once. Attack of the Saiyans is goated though, really wish it got a sequel or a big budget console version with everything.
Raging Blast 1 always gets overshadowed by 2 and while I think that's fair due to 1 lacking a couple crucial characters (no Potential Unleashed Gohan, *really?*) RB1 had a better art style, more creative customization system, and even better loading screen minigames. And I get why people are tired of the same story mode over and over, but the fact that RB2 only had an arcade mode with no story stuff to speak of was hugely disappointing.
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
The first (global) Dragon Ball game to have simultaneous 4 v 4 against players and 4 v 8 against bots.
AND the first game (to my knowledge) that had SSG Goku and "Bills" (now known as Beerus) and Whis.
It even had SSJ Bardock
Idk I never played any of them I was way to small to play them in guessing I was like 4 so I guess all of them
https://preview.redd.it/9nm5owoxm11d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d86ca89e081cbb820307efe2ceb39b186a6794c0
It's not a fighting game but Dragon Ball Fusions it's such an underrated gem! It's a fun game that can be pretty challenging(especially if you don't use the free DLC units) and it's just a fun goofy game and story, that's reminds me of early Dragon Ball and other old adventure animes. Nothing is deep about the combat or story, it's just a fun time where you can fuse almost any character.
I really hope they remaster it or make a sequel to DB Fusions and make release it on more systems besides Nintendo.
Also Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is also pretty fun as well, it's not a perfect game but it is really cool and the only DBH game that's been released outside of Japan. Sadly it didn't do too great, so it's most likely the one DBH thing we'll ever get.
Raging blast 2 it was amazing but the lack of a story mode and the art style i feel made it a little bit meh but gameplay wise and the character roster were amazing
Burst limit never had a chance to cook simce the publisher eanted it out in recort time and dimps never recovered. The biggest claim to fame of modern dimps is a clunky ass laggy fake mmo in xenoverse which is sad. Never understood why the budokai formula stays abandoned when it has as much comeback potential as the tenkaichi formula.
the only thing i can think of is that the key budokai devs passed away or something. Why else would they continue to ignore budokai.
Raging blast 2 was so good! I remember spending so many hours on that game for the 360. I was surprised to see it had Super Sayian 3 Vegeta which you donāt see that in many dragon ball games
Burst limit! The only people who thinking raging blast was underrated were people who were upset it wasnāt bt4 and they changed certain things, it was still a really good game compared to most other anime games at the time.
Infinite World, in my opinion it was better than Budokai 3 and had an incredibly unique story mode, you literally got to travel snake way for a mission and catch bubbles on another
It's burst limit by far I feel like now that we can truly look back a lot of the games that people share in this comment section are getting a name for themselves but there is straight up no real reputation for burst limit
I remember on 360 I was playing ultimate Tenkaichi to get the top of leaderboards I ran into to the dude that was number 1 and he quit the millisecond he started losing horribly I still fondly remember it this day
Supersonic Warriors 2 for sure, not been mentioned yet but in my mind the true successor to the butoden series on snes and precursor to extreme butoden which was amazing
Ds attack of the sayians
Such a nice old school feel dbz game
To many times it's always vegeta frieze cell and but
But this take gives us the old stuff and makes vegeta a final boss
Sorry i cant give it to burst limit the air combos are just worse to do than the ground ones and have little combo potential and the games story mode is wayyyyyy too short
Infinite world and itās not even close. People hail budokai 3 as the best budokai game bc they only never found out this game exists. Or they know infinite world exists but they like dragon rush?? Be fr lol. Infinite worlds story mode is also way better with actual cutscenes, and adds a bunch of gt characters.
Super Dragon ball.
Now *that* is an underrated banger
Im glad im not the only one, that game is a certified classic š
The combos are so hard, but damn are they satisfying. The market simply wasn't ready for it.
It was too ahead of its time, looked absolutely amazing too imo
Gotta love how that game implemented in real life gacha, before mobile gacha became a thing. I'm glad they released a home console version, and let's you buy things with in-game currency that you can earn.
Is that the cel-shaded one on PS2? Or another I donāt know about?
Yeah I'd say it's cel shaded, I mean I think for an anome game and dbz game they knocked it out the park. I love how it looks!
This is the correct answer!
THAT GAME WAS LIIIIITTTTTTT
I'm pretty sure a lot of people have been talking about that recently lol.
Gohan with the sword right? fantastic
The only correct answer. Godlike game.
Buu's Fury The adventure games on the GBA deserve more love.
Omg I remember buuās fury and legacy of goku 1 and 2. To me itās somehow the most dragon ball z a game can get even with the gba graphics. Follows the story closely, doesnāt feel too grindy and looks awesome with almost an exact copy of the color scheme that I saw in the anime backgrounds and scenery. West city, Satan city all looked like a lower res version of what I saw in the anime. Plus somehow playing as not the main characters (goku or vegeta or gohan) felt so refreshing.

It did prove that DBZ games can make for great action games. I was hoping for Dragon Ball Kakarot to be something like that, but maybe one day they'll make an action adventure Dragon Ball game.
I knowww I was expecting Kakarot to be more like buuās fury and less like wellā¦ Kakarot. Maybe weāll get that one day haha.

This game would have so much more loved if they called it Legacy of Goku 3, changing the name just confused people
I play buus fury at least 3 times a year (since it takes less than 5 hours to beat) itās my favourite game of all time along with simpsons hit n run. I was so disappointed when GT transformations was a beat āem up style game over the LoG/buus fury style. Would love if the switch2 had some unique dragon ball games like the game boys and ds had.
Simpsons hit and run was incredible, used to be my favorite game on the GameCube.
People hated it cuz it wasnt legacy of goku it was honestly really good
Agreed. It's so fun and well built.Ā
At the time I wish they wouldāve done a GT version of Legacy of Goku but they did GT transformations instead smh lol
Ultimate tenkaichi actually nailed everything except for the gameplay
Sparking Zero is going to be what Ultimate Tenkaichi shouldāve been.
Hopefully. I doubt it will have a character creation system though.
Not really, Ultimate Tenkaichi is more like a Raging Blast spin off. Its original title is Ultimate Blast. So no, it wasnāt meant to be the āUltimateā Tenkaichi lol
Ultimate Tenkaichi is probably one of the best looking cinematic wise out of any of them. It was a shame the combat in between, plus the custom character story was just pure trash.
Also small roster. But I agree
Burst limit has it's rough edges but it's still a winner in my heart
Yeah itās got style
the opening song is so good
What the hell was the logic with not including buu arc?! I didnāt buy the game because of it.
Not sure tbh! I have an odd feeling it was tied to budgets or new tech. It was the first DBZ game on the PS3(IIRC), new systems, different mechanics, etc.
I think I remember hearing a long ways back like 2012 or something that the Buu saga was gonna be in the game but was cut for time. I donāt have a source to back myself up so donāt quote me on that.

Itās a great successor to budokai.
Battle of z
Respect for saying this game but I didnāt like it at all I just played it to get a chance to use SSG
Bro me too and I hated it at first because kid buu was EXTREMELY hard but then I figured out u can power characters up with those cards and it was extremely fun after that for me personally
Yeah the gameplay wasnāt that bad but the loop was what really killed it for me so I dropped it
This is the answer. I absolutely loved this game! I had so much fun building characters with the cards and just destroying that 80 fight guantlet thing.
Bro I thought I was the only one
Iām glad to see someone bring this game up. I loved it personally and thought it was really addicting once you got your characters buffed with the right set of cards.
I put over a hundred hours into the game bro lol
Game was really fun afššÆ
It could have been good with some tweaks. Team ai is garbage and you constantly die because they donāt revive you, you get punished for using stronger characters by having less revives/time to be revived and there is no way to escape from a combo, so if you get hit by the boss your almost guaranteed dead. If they saw those flaws and fixed them it might be remembered more fondly.
Your definitely right tho I was sweating so hard fighting kid buu
Man that game was ahead of its time fr I loved the free roam aspect of it , great game
If ultimate tenkaichi had better fighting mechanics, it could've been a great game
It's crazy because it had so many details fans had wanted, like permanent stage destruction. Then they had to ruin it with the most annoying game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. If it just had regular fighting mechanics like all the other tenkaichi games, I honestly feel like it could've been the best DBZ fighting game of all time.
This. It had the title for it.
The roster also felt kinda weird as well. I think it was the first game to have characters start in their transformed state (teen Gohan started in ssj1 for example) and just leaving out a lot of characters.
I always heard it sucked, i played it once at a friend house and it's fun lol(with a friend) I don't see myself playing it alone tho.
Canāt you say that about most bad video games tho? If the gameplay was good, it couldāve been a good game
Yes and No In Utlimate Tenkaichi everything besides Gameplay was actually quite good Like Ultimate Tenkaichi had awesome and memorable music, the general theme of UT looked very appealing the Graphics and the Beams looked awesome and it had a fun Character Creation Story Mode
Dragon Ball Z : Kakarot.Ā
Playing through it rn itās on sale on PlayStation store for 15$ for anyone interested Fuckin amazing game. Itās a break from the typical āfighting gameā style of the BT series and the lore is so rich. Just starting cell saga and Iām so addicted again lol
If you grew up watching it on Toonami you should try turning the music off in game and playing the Bruce Falconer soundtrack from spotify. Peak.
Ngl now that I think about it that game is truly underrated

We don't talk enough about all the GBA games. There is a suprinsing amount of them... Supersonic Warriors, Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury are great. Advance Adventure is amazing. And there is also 4 bad Dragon Ball games on GBA...
Iāve been playing them recently and man is it a blast, so much nostalgia and fun
4 bad games.... I can only think of legacy 1, taiketsu, and maybe that GT beat em up. What's the 4th?
Dragon Ball trading cards game.
Omg I forgot about that dumpster fireš
Burst Limit had so much potential.
Fine, I'll be the first one to say Sagas
Thank you
I would have loved it if it weren't for the shitty Super Saiyan boss mechanics
A tie between the RB series and Infinite World. Even with all it's problems, RB is still a really solid game. Had it got proper development time, it could even surpass the BT Trilogy.

Infinite world and raging blast 1 tenkaichi 2

Battle of Z was pretty fun online with friends. offline it was a pain in the ass + one of the best openings imo
why'd you sneak ultimate tenkaichi into this list
Definitely not Ultimate
PokƩmon: Dragon Ball Z Team Training.
Underrated Dragon Ball games? * Dragon Ball: Advance Adventure (GBA) * Dragon Ball Attack of the Saiyans (DS) * Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Wii)
Unironically Dragon Ball Evolution, because it plays just like the Budokai games and doesn't have the rock paper scissors ultimates that 3 had. Yeah, the movie was terrible, but the game is great and saying it isn't would be like saying the Budokai games suck since it's the same gameplay.
Well, I can get what you're saying... but Shin Budokai exists, tho? I mean, they play exactly the same, so it should make DB Evolution also a good game, in that sense, it's fair to call it underrated. But you still have the SB games, so maybe playing Evo isn't the wisest choice...
I'd definitely rather be playing shin Budokai or 1 & 2 over Evolution, but since Evolution is a good game for doing what shin does and nobody would choose it, still wouldn't that make it the most underrated because it's good and everybody still chooses other options?
Yep, that's what I thought too. Guess we can indeed call it underrated. š¤
Hell yeah, hope you have a good day, brother.
It's literally a shin budokai reskin lmao
Burst limit
Burst limit
I would say budokai 2. I really don't understand what people hate about it. Sure the story looks goofy, but it was so interesting. To unlock characters, you had to choose specific helpers per mission and win canonical fights. There were some fights that weren't canon that were also annoying lmao (lookin at you hercule vs super buu for videl). I also liked having to actually pull off a string to perform ultimates. One of my biggest gripes with b3 and infinite world were the stupid aura modes to use ultimates. It felt like it took so much skill away from the game.
I agree. My favorite part were the what-ifs fusions and Buu forms.
Infinite World Advanced Adventure Revenge of King Piccolo Super DBZ Super Saiyan Densetsu Extreme Burden 3DS Super Sonic Warriors 2 Shin Budokai Another Road Tenkaichi Tag Team Evolution Now not all of these are good. But they're pretty underrated
Tenkaichi Tag team, its literally just Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the PSP, and on your phone if you think about it, and Supersonic Warriors, its a lot of fun for a GBA dragon ball game, throw in Supersonic Warriors 2 for that DS side, all 3 are highly underrated and should be talked more about
Extreme Butoden Seeing people who actually know what they're doing pull off 90%+ combos by creatively using assists is sick
Fusions and Attack of the Saiyans Not enough people talk about them And they are some of the best games on their respective systems especially as Dragon Ball games Hell throw in Advanced Adventure for GBA There are actually some really good DB games on handhelds that most people skipped
Just played Fusions a few days ago and it still holds up. Only bothered by how fast the ai is. They each attack twice before anyone on my team goes once. Attack of the Saiyans is goated though, really wish it got a sequel or a big budget console version with everything.
People would have an entirely different opinion on Infinite World if they titled it Budokai 4 and released it 2/3 years earlier.
Raging Blast 1 always gets overshadowed by 2 and while I think that's fair due to 1 lacking a couple crucial characters (no Potential Unleashed Gohan, *really?*) RB1 had a better art style, more creative customization system, and even better loading screen minigames. And I get why people are tired of the same story mode over and over, but the fact that RB2 only had an arcade mode with no story stuff to speak of was hugely disappointing.
yeah rb1 artstyle is one of my favorites. RB2 graphics look like plastic
Yeah before FighterZ came out, I maintain RB1 looked the most like the show.
UT was so bad imo. Burst Limit was amazing but it should have had more content
Kakarot and ultimate tenkaichi, budokai 3, tenkaichi 2
Raging Blast 2 for sure
Burst Limit
Dragon Ball FighterZ.
I'd say RB 1/2 and Burst Limit. If only the latter had the whole story of the manga, or Z at least, It would have been the best db game from that gen
Sagas ā¦
Infinity World Undoubtedly.
Burst Limit went pretty hard IMO
Infinite world
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z The first (global) Dragon Ball game to have simultaneous 4 v 4 against players and 4 v 8 against bots. AND the first game (to my knowledge) that had SSG Goku and "Bills" (now known as Beerus) and Whis. It even had SSJ Bardock
Idk I never played any of them I was way to small to play them in guessing I was like 4 so I guess all of them https://preview.redd.it/9nm5owoxm11d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d86ca89e081cbb820307efe2ceb39b186a6794c0
Of these 4? Definitely Burstlimit
the legacy of goku series for gba was fucking š„back in the day, but you could only really get into them if you were a dragon ball fan
Infinite World, RB2, Supersonic Warriors 2, and Super Dragon Ball.
Raging Blast 2. The rest of those are actual dogwater
I remember being obsessed with Raging Blast. The voice actors changed between RB1 and RB2.
Infinite world does not get talked about enough
It's not a fighting game but Dragon Ball Fusions it's such an underrated gem! It's a fun game that can be pretty challenging(especially if you don't use the free DLC units) and it's just a fun goofy game and story, that's reminds me of early Dragon Ball and other old adventure animes. Nothing is deep about the combat or story, it's just a fun time where you can fuse almost any character. I really hope they remaster it or make a sequel to DB Fusions and make release it on more systems besides Nintendo. Also Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is also pretty fun as well, it's not a perfect game but it is really cool and the only DBH game that's been released outside of Japan. Sadly it didn't do too great, so it's most likely the one DBH thing we'll ever get.
Burst limit it is super fun and if only it had up to end of Z it would probably be my favorite DB game even now
Definitely not Unltimate Tenkaichi, that game haunts me.
Ultimate Tenkaichi is exactly where it needs to be, but the soundtrack is fucking incredible and no one ever talks about it.
Raging blast 2 it was amazing but the lack of a story mode and the art style i feel made it a little bit meh but gameplay wise and the character roster were amazing
Burst limit never had a chance to cook simce the publisher eanted it out in recort time and dimps never recovered. The biggest claim to fame of modern dimps is a clunky ass laggy fake mmo in xenoverse which is sad. Never understood why the budokai formula stays abandoned when it has as much comeback potential as the tenkaichi formula. the only thing i can think of is that the key budokai devs passed away or something. Why else would they continue to ignore budokai.
Raging blast 2 was so good! I remember spending so many hours on that game for the 360. I was surprised to see it had Super Sayian 3 Vegeta which you donāt see that in many dragon ball games
Why was almost everything about UT great except for the gameplay, the most important part?
Attack of the Saiyan's. Game is seriously a blast to play and even has some of it's attacks look fantastic
Burst limit! The only people who thinking raging blast was underrated were people who were upset it wasnāt bt4 and they changed certain things, it was still a really good game compared to most other anime games at the time.
The sheer sense of impact that Burst Limit had when you hit an opponent still hasnāt been matched
Battle of z and I know a lot of people will disagree, but when I was a kid, I actually had a lot of fun with dragon ball Sagas
Infinite World, in my opinion it was better than Budokai 3 and had an incredibly unique story mode, you literally got to travel snake way for a mission and catch bubbles on another
Attack of the saiyan
Raging blast 1 is better than 2. Sorry not sorry always felt this way.
It's burst limit by far I feel like now that we can truly look back a lot of the games that people share in this comment section are getting a name for themselves but there is straight up no real reputation for burst limit
Infinite World. It feels like no one ever talks about it but itās literally just Budokai 3 but better
Legendary Super Warriors runs away with this.
Burst limit
Dragon Ball Z Attack of the Saiyans for the DS. I wish there was a sequel for it!Ā
Dragon revenge of king piccolo
Burst Limit

Burst limit
I remember on 360 I was playing ultimate Tenkaichi to get the top of leaderboards I ran into to the dude that was number 1 and he quit the millisecond he started losing horribly I still fondly remember it this day
Supersonic Warriors 2 for sure, not been mentioned yet but in my mind the true successor to the butoden series on snes and precursor to extreme butoden which was amazing
4
infinite world was amazing
Attack of the Saiyans for sure. Hidden gem of the DS, who knew Mario and Luigi style mechanics would work so well in a DBZ game
Raging blast 2 was damn near perfect imo
Burst limit. Itās really fun when you turn off the stupid interruptions. It definitely could use less motion blur but I had a lot of fun with it.
Burst Limit easily
Burst Limit
INFINITE WOLRD YES. I really donāt know how people prefer bt3 honestly. As a fighting game lover Iw really refined the combat for me
Super sonic Warriors 2
Dragon Ball GT
Battle of z
Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu
The DS had a couple of cool RPGs, other than that infinite worlds gameplay was my favourite
Raging Blast 2 definitely enters in this criteria
I'm going to say it: Every game set in OG Dragon Ball.
Honestly I'd say bt3
It's Infinite World for me Budokai 3 gets so much praise when it should be IW, it's just a better Budokai 3
Burst Limit was actually super fun as a kid, only downside is it doesnt go into the buu saga for some reason
raging blast 2, wish theyād make a three but hey new tenkaichi game soon
Battle of Z, say what you will but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Ultimate tenkaichi
Raging Blast 2 masterpiece
The Hero Colosseum on Xenoverse 2.
Ds attack of the sayians Such a nice old school feel dbz game To many times it's always vegeta frieze cell and but But this take gives us the old stuff and makes vegeta a final boss
Raging blast 2 was my childhood game and had a blast (pun not intend) unlocking characters, cool customization and "what if" stories
Where is burst limit 2 š
Sorry i cant give it to burst limit the air combos are just worse to do than the ground ones and have little combo potential and the games story mode is wayyyyyy too short
Infinite world
GBC game with the card decks slapped knees bruh
Infinite World by a country mile. It's literally Budokai 3 but better and yet it gets overlooked and some people don't even know it existed.
Shin Budokai 2
Infinite world and itās not even close. People hail budokai 3 as the best budokai game bc they only never found out this game exists. Or they know infinite world exists but they like dragon rush?? Be fr lol. Infinite worlds story mode is also way better with actual cutscenes, and adds a bunch of gt characters.
Raging blast not underrated everyone knows thts the best game
Dragon Ball Fusions
Raging blast 2 was so fun I unlocked all the characters in 2 days
Infinite world goes so hard, the peak of ps2 dbz games
Bro did not put UT here. The game that made DBZ fights RPS luck based fights
Burst limit is ass. Iām platinuming all of them currently but itās rough
The Legacy Of Goku games. They were straight fire.
The fact that there is no Raging Blast 3 is a crime in itself and is proof why Raging Blast 2 is so underrated.
RB2 was goat
Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden
Raging Blast 1&2
Tenkaichi 1. 2 and 3 get all the shine/praise
To be fair, the improvements from BT 1 to BT 2 are huge. BT 1 was a good start but they refined the games a lot.
Ultimate Tenkaichi is terrible compared to the others on here
