A Review of Every PS2 Dragon Ball Z Game | Review The PS2

[@ErbBetaPatched]

Thanks for getting this video to 100k views, and for getting me to 1k subs, which happened at the same time! If you're going to yell at me about Infinite World read this: I'll detail it more in my next video but some time down the line I'll be making a video about reevaluating my most disagreed with ratings. Infinite World at this point deserves to be among them, so before you tell me I'm wrong about it, bide your time because there will be a time and place to get those criticisms looked at. I guess Budokai 3 will also deserve a place in that video too.

@@justrem9595 It's quite literally not, you pick something then it's a win, lose or draw. In dragon rush the odds go from 1/4 to 1/3 to 1/2 of escaping it if you can predict what the opponent will do. Against a human player this is completely fair while against a computer I can see how you would think it's random chance.

Agreed. I really hated Dragon Rush, and wanted more characters, so Infinite World got the job done. The fighting in general felt a lot smoother too.

[@MathematicPony]

Something that I'll always appreciate about Budokai 1 is how much effort they put into actual cutscenes. Every budokai game after that was basically just a graphic novel in terms of story mode. Budokai 1 was before its time and definitely didn't have the tech to make amazing looking cutscenes, but it has a lot more heart in the story mode, imo. Also, that first minigame in Budokai 1 where you are Goku trying to keep Radditz lined up with Piccolo's charging Special Beam Cannon - the music still gives me anxiety hahaha. And the following cutscene is completely brutal and I think actually did the source material justice.

[@Sawngawkuh]

To be fair to later entries, it isn't so much that they "put less effort" into them, and more that Dimps and such (wisely) started to dedicate more resources into fleshing out the gameplay and content of succeeding entries. They focused more on fully animated scenes for the original because they were just establishing the foundation for the series moving forward, then the priorities shifted into making more fully realized games over the spectacle. Had it been like these days where more time and money are given to these sorts of projects (as publishers back then would rush devs for most licensed-based titles), they'd probably continue the trend, but as is, they made the right call moving forward.

[@deroistewart1475]

That's exactly what I liked about Budokai. I always said combine their story structure and cutscenes with Budokai Tenkaichi 3 gameplay and I feel you'd have the ultimate DBZ game at least as far as the PS2 is concerned

In 2008 I was living with a friend of mine, and his younger brother would come by and see me playing BT3, and he would fight me and always lose, and lose bad. So I told him he could play the game for 3 days and I wouldn't touch it. 3 days to get better at it and we'd have a 5 on 5 battle. When the day came, I still managed to win...but he improved so much that he gave me one of the best fights I ever had playing that game.

The Budokai 1 review is definitely lacking perspective of people who lived during the time. The reason the game sold wasn't just because of the license, but because it was arguably the very first *good* game with the license. It's not bad at all, and it only got better with its sequels.

Yeah this video made no sense and you were obviously a new or even slight dbz fan while making this video Budokai was the first of it's kind and set the standard for dbz games. Soul calibur was the 2nd installment so it would be better to compare Budokai 2 with it furthermore you said you liked Budokai 2 and 3's gameplay but not infinite worlds when infinite world was part of the Budokai series, it copied and pasted Budokai 3's gameplay and mechanics then updated them and made it better also Budokai 3,s story mode was bad on top of dragon rush infinite worlds story mode was better and the little map was better than Budokai 3's open map which was small and felt bare on top of having nothing interesting about it.

[@allthingsanime7413]

3 didnt have very good balance i think it should have had a few more trade offs and or less trade offs like ssj4s damage shoulda have been countered by like a drain or somin and brolys super armor shoulda meant that he also too like 1.5x dmg and the apes should have been more like xenoverses goodness they were the worst granted 2 also had alot of these problems but not to this extent

[@tximinoman]

@@allthingsanime7413 but I think that's because it was never meant as a competitive game but rather a fan service game (all three tenkaichi games are like this). So if you were fighting with Yamcha against Broly, of course you're going to have a hard time. Because you're playing as Yamcha against fucking Broly. But that being said, I do think the game gave enough tools to the player gameplaywise to overcome the challenge most of the time.

[@dontegraves5051]

To be fair, this mechanic is never expanded on by the game, any of its manuals or any guide before Infinite World. Cancelling back then was simply only discovered by a casual player on pure accident....or they fought Super Buu on their last bar of life in Budokai 2 and caught him abusing it.....

[@_jagger1407]

I disagree with Infinite World, the gameplay has a revamp, the combos are better refined by combining Shin Budokai, Burst Limit, and Budokai 3’s engine into one. Canceling, Juggling, Defensive Options is better. Just because your a casual type of player and don’t practice the Budokai games itself doesn’t mean Infinite World is bad.

[@SonnyDha_B]

Dragon Rush was one of the most retarded mechanics ever implemented into the game, they were literal game changers that give players a ton of damage based on simple guessing games.

[@SonnyDha_B]

The only flaw I’d give Infinite World is removing the Tournament mode and the Single Player options not being fun,

[@SonnyDha_B]

Tenkaichi and the Budokai games aren’t in the same series, also they were named differently in Japan

[@ErbBetaPatched]

@@SonnyDha_B I think that the only good thing infinite world did was make the capsule system actually work. And I do have to disagree about dragon rush because dragon rush was accompanied by a huge risk of stunning yourself and losing all of your ki and your transformations. The damage output can be great but the chance of failing increases from 25% to 50% throughout the attack. You can even lose if you fail the first part of Dragon rush. It's a big risk vs reward component.

I never really understood why Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is so underrated, it's my favourite DBZ game that isn't FighterZ, and not just due to nostalgia. Like you said, the battle system, the music, the extensive story mode, and everything else about it were MASSIVE improvements over the original, and even though 3 improved the gameplay a bit, so many other things were either cut or made worse in that game. Glad to finally see someone else who appreciates it.

One of the tiny details of TK2 that I thoroughly missed from TK3 is that you could charge Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon for extremely high damage which keeps true to the material. I hoped it would be in Raging Blast but that game is close to perfect so I will allow an omission of error.

The lightening is yellow in the manga. The kamehamehas are also yellow in the manga depending if it is the full color release of the manga. Also budokai 1 is still great.

It has more depth than soul caliber 1

[@10003159]

You have to be absolutely joking about infinite world. The gameplay is far better than budokai 3 for just two reasons: 1. Hyper mode in budokai 3 is absolutely garbage. Every time you use it your opponent knows that you're either going to go for an ultimate and/or dragon rush and will just start running away from you and avoiding you until your hyper mode runs out. Telegraphing that you're going to use an ultimate is incredibly lame. 2. The removal of dragon rushes. You seriously liked these? It's a Rock paper scissors simulator. The only way dragon rushes would be remotely bearable is if each character had their own unique one. After the millionth time of seeing the same dragon rush you just wanna fight and not play rock paper scissors.

[@sagetheassassin3192]

Infinite World is still my favorite Dragon Ball game ever!! So underated!!

[@choueriito2548]

Glad to see you gave Budokai the criticism it deserves. The game has not aged well at all and only retains any presence for putting more effort into cutscenes than most. It's surprising how Budokai 2 is treat as the black sheep of the trilogy despite having far better gameplay, some unique character forms/fusions and a story mode that's more than a straightforward adaption. One error in the video is the statement that Tenkaichi 2 introduced characters being unlocked through item fusions. A significant amount of the first Tenkaichi's roster featured this method, particularly for some of the stronger forms and those not connected to the core story arcs (ie. films and GT). If anything, Tenkaichi 2 was a step down in this as Tenkaichi 1 would also have some characters unlocked by gathering the Dragon Balls.

[@eyecontrol4900]

I agree. B1 is honestly overrated, as it has the worst gameplay mechanics and graphics in the trilogy + IW. They put more effort into the cutscenes, then they did into the fighting system. Remember how bad the skillshop was ? People are just blinded by nostalgia. But its still a solid 6/10 for me.

[@HybridAngelZero]

Ah, I have so much nostalgia for these xD Budokai 3 is still my favorite on the PS2, I still love the fighting system to this day, and the story mode and extras are a ton of fun. I have a fondness for Budokai 1 because, odd as this may seem, it was my first exposure to the main DBZ story! I had only caught bits and pieces of episodes before playing the game. Super Dragon Ball Z is quite a gem. It's really different from every other DBZ game on the list, and I feel like not enough people played it. And finally Sagas... hoo boy. I know, objectively, that this game isn't actually good, but I have so much nostalgia and silly memories playing it on co-op with friends that I could never dislike it

[@brokenfiddle3379]

Dragon Rush is the worst system in any fighting game, just no. Removing speed blocking systems and focus on more damage to combo ratio skill is not a downfall of Infinite World, it is a crap toss point but I agree with the whole no Tournament though.

You should've mentioned how many times you have to complete the story mode in budokai 2 to collect all the capsules... 42 times for the PS2 version, and 35 times for the GC version. That's a huge bummer imo.

[@dontegraves5051]

PS2 has a glitch where you can circumvent 95% of the capsule collecting by going in and out of the menu. This also exists in the PAL version but is impossible on Gamecube. Therefore Gamecube is the version of Budokai 2 that indeed requires multiple playthroughs of Dragon History. The bare minimum to unlock all characters is in the high 20's, considering you don't fuck up, defeat bosses with the right characters and don't forget to save. To get all capsules, the count exceeds 30 and then you need to do Tournament Mode, putting the time required for total completion at close to 40 hours, even when trying to get through Dragon History as fast as possible. This game was *true pain* for a completionist.

My favourite is definitely infinite world here's why: 1-the story mode has ACTUAL cutscenes instead of the cardboard cut outs that were in the budokai 3 game, also the mini games were fun to play and it made you feel like you're interacting with the series. 2- the gameplay has improved, the control layout is better and THERE IS NO DRAGON RUSH to always break the pacing of the fight. 3-more characters, this game has characters from GT also pikkon and janemba, sure some of the ultimate attacks can't be blocked but the actual ultimate themselves are amazing additions to the game. 4-the ost although budokai 3 intro theme is amazing I think overall the soundtrack in infinite world is better than budokai 3. 5-the CPU is actually way smarter and violent than budokai 3 which makes the battles more intense and fun In the end infinite world is just like the back of the cover says it is "the best of the budokai series" it's just a shame it came out so late, in fact this was the last DBZ game released for the console.

Every Tenkaichi focusses on a different aspect of combat, which is why playing one like the other is a bad idea. BT1 focusses on Defense. BT2 focusses on Movement. BT3 focusses on Combos.

Good to see some love for Budokai Tenkaichi 2. Out of every Dragon Ball Z game, I think that was the one that makes you most feel like you're actually playing the show. With the transformations, fusions, destructible environments, dashes, teleportations, and MANY special moves, it just captures the feeling of Dragon Ball Z perfectly. And that's BEFORE you factor in that it includes almost every DBZ character and battle you can think of. Then on top of that, the music is awesome. BT3 has a better battle system but like you said, the story mode and soundtrack are markedly inferior to BT2. The best of BT2 and BT3 together with remastered graphics would easily be the best DBZ game ever made.

[@DeeJayEX64]

I get that DBZ Budokai 1's overall fighting mechanics leave alot to be desired but the biggest appeal I feel this games has its the Story Mode and all the little nods it gives to DBZ. Its a small piece of the overall package but I still regard the way this game depicts the arks up until the Cell Saga to be the peak story telling out of every DBZ game that has ever come out. Even the capsules when you unlock them have funny small quotes which is fantastic. There a nostalgia bias for me not gonna lie but that aspect of this game i feel gets overlooked whenever someone reviews it. Being the base for what games would follow it i feel it was a really good 3D DBZ game for the time it came out. Idk maybe thats just me.
