A retrospective of the worst DBZ game ever

[@HiddenChannel]

This is my 10k subscriber special. Thanks so much for checking out my channel. Now I never have to play this game again

[@RancidKari]

Lmao. Good job Hidden !

[@athenwalton]

Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! Here's to 10,000 more 🎉 and to never having to play Sagas again lol

[@madladsdabs]

Probably my new favorite youtuber cause of the hours of content with all these amazing games.

[@imdavidbaby]

This game came out when I was 8 i remember breaking my controller in the android Saga of this game 💀

[@Somocho]

"It goes where no Dragon ball z game has gone before" yeah, right in the trash

[@KensDreaming]

I never had a memory card for my gamecube and this was the only game that didn't make me sad about it lmao

[@Delaretro_]

🤣🤣🤣

[@imdavidbaby]

Same

[@NSignus]

The one detail I'll never forget about this game is that one-armed Future Gohan throws punches with an arm that doesn't exist. That and the boss battles were AWFUL. Especially Perfect Cell.

[@tcgmagikarp1147]

I don’t care what anyone says, i really love this goofy bad game.

[@duganelliott8340]

I enjoyed it a lot as a kid. Especially playing as Broly and destroying everything.

Definitely a game you could enjoy with someone now playing it by yourself that sounds like pain

Used to play this game with my best friend when we were kids. I know this game is jank but this makes me super nostalgic, especially the music.

Avalanche Software? As in Avalanche Software that develop Disney Infinity games, and Hoghwarts Legacy? That Avalanche Software!?

[@MrJohnReviews]

This is easily the worst DBZ game ever made, at least Final Bout and Ultimate Battle 22 had pretty good soundtrack and intros, this game doesn't have anything positive about it.

[@IMCALgames]

Vegeta's hair is not supposed to be brown. In the manga when the gang first meet Trunks, Vegeta says that he couldn't possibly be a super saiyan because all saiyans have black hair.

[@radim279]

Speaking of failure - KZbin's automatic subtitles are constitutionally unable to deal with your accent "Vegeta too rushes to Namek" becomes "Vegeta's 2 Russia's Dynamic!" (sounds like an attack name) and Ginyu Force becomes the far more adorable "Guinea Force"

[@radim279]

also wtf is with the negative effect at 24:16?

[@StarwingN]

"The First Ever Dragon Ball Z Action Adventure Game." And it was horrible.. Thank goodness for DBZ Kakarot. And my goodness at 15:08. That was brutal.. But nothing comes close at 28:32, lol! I haven't laugh so hard in a long while. That was really funny, hahahaha!

[@CodiacMusic]

I mean, this game does have its own kinda charm to it. If you play on hard tho, I’m SUPER stuck on the trucks Future stage where you gotta fight 17 😭 this game is challenging as hell on hard

[@Mahtoo]

fact dude, playing on hard it was a totally different game

You accidentally made a typo on the title. You wrote "worst" instead of "best"!

[@HiddenChannel]

My bad, I didn't even notice

[@MelchVagquest]

Vegeta with brown hair is something that animators have been trying to push since his first appearance on Planet Arlia. Even though Vegeta says all saiyans have black hair, when he first sees Future Trunks.

[@PosthumanHeresy]

My only real memory of this game is that it is the first time I ever screamed and cursed at a video game, specifically during the Perfect Cell fight. To be clear, this was _after_ I beat The Library in Halo 1 on Legendary. And Halo 2 on Legendary, Jackal snipers and all. I hate this game more than I hate H2 Legendary Jackal snipers. I only beat it due to the emotional obligation of beating what you rented.

[@nightwingnl5354]

I feel bad for the xbox fans from back in the day because this is the only dbz game they got until the 360 came out 💀 💀 💀

[@HiddenChannel]

Must of really sucked for xbox only people.

[@X02Overdose]

I feel like DBZ Kakarot is what Sagas was suppose to be lol

[@mazokuwarrior]

So true. They made it seem like a fully 3D LOG game for console.

[@harleyzeth]

Sagas is better

[@jagaloon14]

Attack of the saiyans and LoG 2 are what all these games could only dream to be

[@Mellojoseph]

I have a fun story with this game. Back in the day I sold my copy of Super Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion to Blockbuster so I would be able to get this game for the GameCube. That was a huge mistake lol

[@chesspunk489]

Ouch. I couodn't imagine the amount of disappointment that you felt.

[@spenserbeckerszs]

I forgot the voice actor from the US version’s narrator did the advertisement for this game too. He knew the truth lol!

[@citizensnips2400]

Yesss! Glad this video is here! After Burst Limit, this was the title I really wanted to hear you cover. Haven’t played this since I was in middle school. For good reason 😂 Excellent work as always! Congrats on 10k!!

[@HiddenChannel]

Thank you :D

[@iliterallyjustworkhere5048]

I played this on my GameCube when I was little I was so excited to play my first dbz game. And unpopular opinion I liked it. Especially the post game characters like future gohan and Broly. This game will always be special to me

[@CollinMac96]

3:59 he’s hunched over because he has to constantly carry the franchise.

[@jagaloon14]

When you’re the most uninteresting character in the history of anime and the story writer wants you to carry the entire story lol

[@RedbladeUNI]

I had to trade in budokai 2 and use my birthday money to buy this trash game as a kid 😭 Really been loving your channel, glad to sub

[@HiddenChannel]

That's a real tragedy right there

[@viscountrainbows2857]

Owwie. I'd kill to go back to the tedium of the board game campaign rather than the torture of these dreary levels and booty ass combat.

[@cuckertarlson3037]

I remember buying video games as a kid. If you picked a stinker, well then to bad. This is the only new game you have to play for the next few months. This was back before everyone had internet so there weren't that many ways to know if a game would be good or not.

[@ricosuave9102]

Oh yeah Sagas, knew some kids who were brothers who had Budokai 3 & Tenkaichi 2/3 and even then their favorite game was Saga since they could play coop together

[@HiddenChannel]

I find that very odd

[@Porterpotty114]

@@HiddenChanneli had a similar experience, dbz budokai 1 was probably the very first game i booted up on my ps2 and was addicted ever since and played every budokai and tenkaichi on release but i actually loved sagas i know it was basic but my friends and i were stoked about this game

[@jagaloon14]

I used to play sagas cooperatively with my brothers too. Made me wish I was playing BT3 alone or vs

[@freezasama5802]

This game is the definition of what are parents thought dbz was like

[@FN64Productions]

13:11 I'm sorry but vegeta missing his kicks + it looks like he's dancing around the enemy + him staring at the enemy the whole time is hilarious

[@taurusasaurusrex1183]

always hated this one even as a kid

[@popmeijems]

since all characters have the same copy pasted attacks did you notice that future Gohan tries to attack with the missing arm? if you purposefully stop at that part of the animation its pretty funny to see the enemy awkwardly look back at you

[@CommanderButter]

Gonna jot this game down in my list of torture methods

[@sygos]

I remember I got this game full price at release and I was so disappointed. I had gotten several Budokai games prior so my standards were very high. I still played through it several times just because I had it. I liked replaying the Trunks saga in the ruined city the most.

[@HistoryandReviews]

“Several” there were only 3

[@PhillipOnTakos]

I like how even the ad for the game showcased you getting stun locked by the enemy. When the ad can't even make your game look good you know you screwed up. Also good for you Hidden after so many videos of not being able to show off the Co-op or multiplayer of a game because and i quote (I don't have friends" you finally dragged some poor soul to play DBZ Sagas. I don't know how you did it but well done.

[@HiddenChannel]

It took me months to get them to playthrough it with me lol

[@Suhadisgood]

The worst dragon ball z games starts from the NES PS1 Sega Saturn if your playing dragon ball z games on any of those consoles your crazy

[@coverbale5121]

Can't believe that the ones responsible for the worst dbz game are also the who made the best harry potter game

[@daymianhogue1634]

God this game is one of the few times I'm okay it finished after cell. Cause I can only imagine how ass, having to get ssj3 on goku and gotenks would be to hurt Buu. Or God how they would've implemented fusion. It was pretty awful, though I do kinda wish it got a sequel that actually fixed the issues, as I kinda like what they were going for. They just did it terribly.

[@HiddenChannel]

Yeah the fact that it ends at Cell is one of the pros

[@Danbo22987]

Maybe it could’ve been like the Legacy of Goku games where the sequels are a huge leap in quality from the first

[@Danbo22987]

It's such a shame because the concept of a Dragon Ball Z beat em up is really cool and had a lot of potential, especially during that time of gaming.

[@chesspunk489]

Dragonball Advanced Adventure, Revenge of King Piccolo, and dare I say Dragonball GT Transformation are all pretty good games. It's a shame that we never got a good 3d beat em up though.

[@SLDNW101]

I remember finding an unintended combo move that allows you to continuously spam enemies until the die. Full stun lock. Couldn't tell you what it was though. Edit: 15:50.

[@blackfoot540]

Child me loved this game, I won’t defend it cause I haven’t touched it since. Still, good times were had Edit: after watching the vid, forget what I’m talking about you’re right to dunk on this game lol

You’ve done pretty much every popular ps2 DBZ dragonball game can’t wait to see the retrospectives on from the ones on the ps3/360 generation definitely will have more of a fun time playing those for sure even if a few games are kinda meh in content like Burst Limit

[@radim279]

There's honestly not that many apart from BL. There's the Raging Blasts, Battle of Z, and I guess Xenoverse 1 counts. The DS and 3DS got a boatload, though.

One of the best sound tracks , loved the game . I literally listened to the sound tracks twice just by them selfs . They put there heart into this game just didn’t come out the best . Still was fun playing with your friends back then .

You know, what IS up with the brown hair Vegeta thing? This color is also featured in his character portrait for Buu's Fury. Also base Vegito's hair is brown for some reason. Very mysterious.

[@home9dog2blue199]

1:45 doesn't have to do with this game but I've been saying this about DBS (🐉🐃💩) since it came out: Dragonball used to have IT'S OWN IDENTITY. NOW everything looks so unserious. EVERYTHING just has to have a damn "shadow" in this artstyle and it's cringe because it reminds me of those random "What if this character were placed in THAT anime's universe/drawn in another show's artstyle?". it used to LOOK/SOUND/FEEL Like IT'S OWN THING. But now it seems like they're just trying to fit in to stay relevant 🤦‍♂️

[@DeltaLeader89]

[@KingJadInfiniteHope]

as someone who’s played basically every North American release dbz game since Budokai 1. i still think Taikestu, Ultimate Tenkaichi, & the Collectible Card Game on the GBA, are all worse than sagas. sagas isn’t good, and never will be, but i’d pick this over those 3 games any day.

DB Sagas might be awful but it’s the only PS2 era game that allows us to play a one handed Future Gohan

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

I remember playing and beating the game back in the day. I had a younger cousin who saw me play and used to beg me to play it with him. He was obsessed with the game to the point I would get annoyed with him because he always wanted to play this terrible game. I now look back at his excitement fondly but the game still sucks

I think you’re thinking of the composer for Budokai 3. The composer here is Bruce Falconer, who composed the music for the original dub.

[@chaospoet]

"I blame Atari for lying about this game." I mean, aside from making one failed console after another after the success of the 2600 until they went out of the console business, that was basically Atari's mission statement. -Here's a video game with stunning artwork depicting the game where you're a jacked, super hero type character... but you're actually just a tiny square. -Here's the greatest, most advanced, most mind blowing controller ever made for the time (the 5200)... but it's a broken piece of shit that doesn't center and is compatible with like 2 games in the entire library. -Here's the most advanced gaming system ever with 64 bits! Okay, so it's two 32 bit chips, most people only used one, and 99 percent only used it to make crappy 16 bit games that looked less impressive than what you were seeing on Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo and the PS1. -We didn't cause the video game crash of 1983 and totally didn't bury copies of E.T.! Except we totally did and the games were dug up 30 years later to prove it. Ladies and Gentlemen, Atari! Thank you for the 2600 and early Arcade games, but go to Hell with everything after that. And go to Hell twice just for this abomination of a game.

Its funny to me how everyone shits on this game, but I always remember it fondly as being a DBZ game I could play co-op with my friends. The clips of the show they used along with the game's original music always hit too. That being said... those few boss fights that force 1v1 with player 1 and 2 having to switch out... fuck that shit.

That game never came to Europe. It has it's charme and I played it probably more than I should have, first after I softmodded an Xbox OG to play it, then imported the GameCube version. The presentation (aside from the awful animation of the characters and character graphics) is wonderful. It feels just like DBZ. It was a Kakarot prototype xD besides the GBA games, this was the only Action Adventure sandbox DBZ for a long time.
