DBZB1 (DragonBall Z Budokai 1): All Cutscenes and What If Stories. {DBOFRIEND} [HD]

[@tracykilpatrick7219]

This game has the best cutscenes out off all the dbz games. Makes me feel like I'm watching the show.

Honestly when I was kid, I didn’t know where to watch DBZ but I knew about it. So in a way, this game was like I was watching the show. And I’ve been a fan ever since

[@supersmashbro596]

far too much narm. even compared to the original funimation fub. also the models look far too... plastic. and with the over-the-top facial expressions (see perfect cell) it just reeks of narm. almost so bad it's good. best example: 1:00:20. this face he makes puts cell with googly eyes after vomitting up 18 to shame.

[@SN-yn6it]

Tracy Kilpatrick I agree.

[@Ryakkusu]

Budokai 1 captured more of the anime than any other dbz game

The music, voice acting, the drama, and the pace was done immaculately in this game. It's a really good way to get into the actual series.

[@AlexCalibur12]

blitzwaffe When I was a kid my dad told me about how he would watch this with friends, and because a fibe year old may not have the attention span to watch 291 episodes of badass screaming and lasers, He got the game for us to play together and the story mode is how I fell in love with this series

Why don't they make cutscenes like this in the games anymore? This game's cutscenes even had models for King Kai and even showed Cell throwing up 18 and reverting back to his Semi-Perfect Form before turning on his bomb. Other games don't even show that, they're usually just character portraits with text or it happens off-screen.

[@bennet2703]

Exactly. In my opinion the perfect DBZ game would look like this: Cutscenes like Budokai 1. Storymode like Budokai 3 or BT2. Gameplay from BT3 and graphics from Raging Blast 2. I would be lost ^^

[@nintendoplayer07]

Bennet Ooh, don't forget large roster like BT3, but each character feels/plays differently too!

why is this the only DBZ Game that has the most acurate story over any other DBZ games!!!??

[@FelipeGameseTutoriais]

because of the space of disc and the console's hardware power , but nowadays, they can do it, sorry for my english i am brazillian

[@AGGSab]

Felipe Games e Tutoriais that's not the answer at all if this were true there would be portraits with text. Accurate is a good thing. They did this because they weren't lazy but now it's gotten pretty lazy.

[@Beforezzz]

Because this was meant to be the definitive DBZ game at the time of release. It was pretty effective and really set a standard for future games, at least for me. Guess they didn't feel the need to replicate these masterful cutscenes for a while, especially after the change in graphics not being quite as cinematic like it is here. The focus went primarily to the look and feel of in-game fighting afterwards.

[@sunsetgames2622]

The voice actors were so young and so enthusiastic to match! Literally the only game I can remember where the lip sync was 100%. The music was insanely good especially during the Frieza fight. They made these scenes so dynamic too never a dull moment! So damn graphic with blood and gore too which is a damn shame they don’t do this anymore. And the final dessert is having “what if” scenario’s. Seeing Frieza/Cell have their victory is so surreal and hilarious in a twisted way with how they act.

[@wlot28]

These are some crazy good cutscenes for such an old game

[@bballfan3419]

Man im 21 now and this brings back so many memories. This was my first ever DBZ Game. My brother and i played this so much back in the day on the ps2.

[@iUsedToBeAMusician]

I think this is my true first db(z) experience. I watched a lot of the anime in random order as a baby. But this game introduced me to the lore and characters. This was the game that told me the story that I'd see repeat itself in all games following. This game's music sticks with me too.

[@Animefreakinfiniti7]

I've seen a lot of people in the comments over the years saying the same thing as what I'm about to ands its nice to know that I'm not alone. Dragon Ball Z Budokai on PS2 was my first full-on exposure to DBZ. I grew up knowing about it but I'd only ever heard about the plot and characters from friends. A lot of guys I knew were obsessed with it and it's all they would talk about. I honestly believe this is one of the best DBZ Games ever made if for no other reason than the fact of the cutscenes . They really and truly represented the story of DBZ through the medium of video games. Most DBZ games now have the cutscenes as the characters just standing there with their mouths flapping and the dialogue not matching at all. The cutscenes in this game essentially turned DBZ Budokai into a cinematic experience. You got to understand the plot and watch the characters play out scenes from the series in full 3d with good effects considering the era and even now... Though I was definitely confused by the yellow Kamehameha in the beginning though 😅. If we could get a DBZ Game with the Game play of DBZBT3, The graphics of Raging Blast 2 and the Storytelling of DBZ Budokai, I think we'd have the perfect DBZ Game.

[@darkdremora4436]

Out of the *many* DragonBall/DragonBall Z games I've played, the lines used in "Budokai" I remember more-so than any other, to the point I can actually quote (most of) them. :P

Every battle is easy except the final battle vs Cell. Your power drains so fast than he just wrecks you.

[@ericdupree8603]

There were different game settings ranging from Easy>>> Normal>>> Hard

[@darkdremora4436]

+Peter Griffin I also found the battle against Frieza (Final Form/100%Final Form) difficult for the exact same reason. Vegeta's and Cell's "What-If" Stories were pretty difficult as well since you had to fight multiple opponents without recovering Health in-between.

[@tomtinker8220]

not to mention your ki drains faster since it's goku's fifth transformation, while gohan's ssj2 was his second.

Only bad part about the HD remake is the music for Budokai 1 and the intro song for Budokai 3. Other than that everything else is fine really. The new music itself isn't bad, but it's like they didn't even try to get music to fit the cutscenes.
