Few Dragon Ball titles include character models as stunning as the cel-shaded ones featured in this fighter. While Burst Limit's visuals are its biggest strength, it's not the only thing the game offers. Battles provide plenty of substance to go with the game's style as each one plays out at a brisk and enjoyable pace. And even though it might seem simple at first, there is some depth to the gameplay. If only there were more depth to the roster, as one of the few downsides to the title is its small set of characters.
But all the main figures pre-Buu saga make the cut. Most of the best Dragon Ball Z games simply re-tell the tale of the anime. Supersonic Warriors does that, too, yet it also includes multiple 'what if' scenarios.
These unique stories play around with the well-known DBZ narrative to provide something different. For instance, at one point in Piccolo's scenario, he brings back and fuses with Demon King Piccolo to gain the strength to take on Buu.
These original storylines are interesting and allow for the spotlight to be shined on less celebrated characters. The gameplay, on the other hand, isn't as groundbreaking, but it's enough to keep you entertained. It's always nice when the DB franchise experiments with other genres. This bit title is an RPG, which focuses as much on the adventure part of the series as the big battles.
Of course, there are still many fights to be had in the game, but you don't jump from fighting Android 19 to immediately squaring up to Android Instead, you travel around the fascinating world of Dragon Ball, finding things and talking to people. As a result, combat is a little simple, yet it's also oddly satisfying.
Raging Blast attempted to take the formula for 3D, action-packed fights to the next level with more cinematic elements and big, flashy, fitting attacks.
For the time, and even now, the game is a graphical beauty that does well to capture the feeling of the manga and anime. Gameplay-wise, Raging Blast doesn't introduce many new elements to the series as it plays similar to the Tenkaichi games.
Yet, battles are still fluid and fun, even if the wonky camera can be annoying. Plus, it provides something the anime never did: Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta. While the Xenoverse titles might not be ranked among the best RPGs of the generation , they're still both solid games. Overall, Xenoverse 2 edges out its predecessor because the sequel includes much more content. One of the best parts of the game is its story.
The title takes the original Dragon Ball Z tale and uses time travel to make some alterations. Unfortunately, fights don't quite hold up to the quality of the narrative, as Xenoverse 2 doesn't provide a very exciting arena fighter experience. Yet, there's still plenty of fun to be had with the title, and it's one of the best Dragon Ball Z games ever.
There remains an intense division between fans of the Budokai games and the Budokai Tenkaichi fans. Budokai is a fighter, but Tenkaichi, in part because the developers knew it couldn't compete, made Tenkaichi an arena fighter.
While the gameplay is nothing special and most of the characters feel like model swaps, it is filled with a bazillion characters. Obscure characters, too, that have never been considered before or since. It exists as the ultimate Dragon Ball Z toy box game. Every other arena fighting game to follow has just been following.

Every other arena fighting game to follow has just been following. Dragon Ball: Fusions is a wild video game that no one expected to like. It is a crazy RPG game that focuses primarily on fan service, full of references throughout the universe. The game is a bit of an oddball. It starts very irreverent, but, as it goes on, gets It serves as a unique RPG experience, offering fans the sort of stuff they have never seen before.
However, it can leave a few fans feeling a little The fast-paced gameplay of the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi series left fans hoping Super Dragon Ball Z would be a fun, exciting action game Tenkaichi 3 had over characters!
Who cares about this game? But as time passed on, fans of competent, well-structured fighting games re-discovered the game, and remembered "Wait, this game was made by Akira Nishitani — you know, the guy who made Street Fighter II. Plus, you get to play Chi-Chi. There are very few Dragon Ball games out there. DBZ, yes, but not Dragon Ball. The old-school series is often neglected for the more over-the-top action, and fans who go back to the old series often don't care for the softer, comedic tone of Dragon Ball.
Which is why many fans made a huge mistake overlooking Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure, a Gameboy Advance beat-em-up game where you play from the start of the series to the final fight with King Piccolo.
Through a combination of platforming stages, flying stages, and fighting stages, the game boasts incredible variety even before considering you can play through the game using multiple characters. It's one of the best Dragon Ball handheld titles. Sadly, when the Budokai series came out, many had forgotten these old-school games in order to focus on the new 3D fighting game entries. It took all the great gameplay of the prior games -- western RPG gameplay, for example -- and made it even better.
Plus, it has digital renditions of Bruce Faulconer's Dragon Ball Z music, which, for many growing up with the series, is a huge dose of nostalgia. While that doesn't sound like a lot of content, it starts in the Dragon Ball era and adds a lot of content to pad things out.
However, what it offers is a complex, interesting JRPG gameplay system. For fans sick of DBZ fighters, this game is great. As the PlayStation 2 neared its demise in , one last Dragon Ball game was released to add to the already fantastic lineup the PS2 was known for.
This game is essentially like a Budokai 4, taking most good elements from Budokai 3 and tweaking some major flaws. The exclusion of the "Dragon Rush" feature from Budokai is entirely left out here, which is seen as a huge plus. While not nearly as popular as its predecessors, garnering quite a few low review scores from game critics, this game is loved by many fans and stands as one of the most underrated and underplayed games in the franchise.
Seeing these arcs adapted in games was exciting for fans, and the fighting-game influenced combat keeps the gameplay interesting. Dragon Ball: Xenoverse was one of the series' largest releases.
The game and its sequel were sales juggernauts, moving tons of inventory because of one simple feature. The games came bundled with a character creator that puts your original character in an online world. The excellent graphics and fighting mechanics made it feel like you were in the anime.
But Xenoverse didn't only do a great job of recreating the feel of the anime. The time travel story allowed both retelling of popular arcs, but also a new dimension of stories. Author Toriyama created several characters for the Xenoverse games, which have become popular on their own. In fact, the Xenoverse story has started a line of spinoffs.
This alternate line creates even more content. Meaning that is controlled mainly by the stylus and touch screen, like many Nintendo DS hit games. Like Advanced Adventure, this outing chiefly focused on the beginnings of the franchise. Unlike that game, Bulma was featured prominently.
Capsule Corp's inventor's a major character, but often doesn't appear in games due to lacking combat skills. Origins fixes that by using Goku for combat and Bulma for solving puzzles.
This action took place on two screens, a DS hallmark. It recreated early Dragon Ball 's art, exciting because most art styles in these games feature Toriyama's later style. Dragon Ball FighterZ is the game fans had been waiting for. Arc System Works, known for excellent fighters like Guilty Gear , took center stage for this entry. The studio was also known for its excellent licensed games, including Supersonic Warriors.
An art style that matched the manga perfectly met with excellent balanced combat. It fit the hyper-fast fighting niche, attracting series fans and fighting fans. At the game's release, the recent Vs. Capcom title unperformed. FighterZ then fit into that niche with the high energy bouts. As of time of writing, it recently finished its DLC.
It didn't have the largest roster, but great mechanics and visuals gave it long-lasting popularity. Even now, fans are still clamoring for more. It's excellent production and fan devotion make it the best Dragon Ball Z game.
