It also was pretty awesome that the game let you use Super Saiyan 3 Broly and Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta, something that had not previously existed in an official capacity.
It was really nice to see a ton of characters with over 120 of them when you include the various transformations. With a long story mode, this one will keep you busy for awhile, especially if you are a completionist. Extending through the Majin Buu saga, Raging Blast feels more like a follow-up to the Budokai Tenkaichi line of games due to the similarities in gameplay. Dragon Ball: Raging BlastĪfter Burst Limit, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast was the second try at the brand in the HD era. Hopefully the first one on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will avoid this trend in gaming. A lack of content is really this game’s main drawback, which seems to happen way too often with the first games on a new generation of consoles.

For those that preferred the gameplay from the Budokai series over Budokai Tenkaichi, this may be the HD era game for you. However, it does come at the cost of a shortened story mode, as this game only covers up to the end of the Cell Saga, almost like Budokai. Thanks to the Z Chronicles story mode and drama pieces, this game had one of the best story modes since the original Budokai. The first venture into the HD era of gaming for Dragon Ball Z, Burst Limit looks absolutely gorgeous even today. Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3) The included what-if episodes were a nice touch to add to the experience, along with solid gameplay. This was removed from many future games, which took a lot out of the experience. I was jumping up and down the first time I got to play the game and see all the cutscenes between each fight. However, what stands out to me in this game is something that has been missing in the series in way too many games, cel-shaded cutscenes. Nearing the end of the Majin Buu saga in the US, Budokai was cut off at the end of the Cell Saga, which was a huge disappointment for me as a kid. The first game in the string of releases from Dimps, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai was the first DBZ game that I ever owned. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai (PlayStation 2/Gamecube) This list will only contain games that were released in the US, so the many releases on the Super Famicom in the 90s will not be included. Now, with the release of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z in the US, which we will have a review up for very soon, it seems like a perfect time to relive the past and look at the top five console games in the series. After that, the series went on a streak of at least one major game until 2013, where no Dragon Ball Z games were released in the US. However, that all changed in 2002 when Dragon Ball Z: Budokai debuted for the PlayStation 2.
I still remember lunch periods back in middle school where we did nothing but discuss the previous days episodes of Dragon Ball Z and what we thought was going to happen next.ĭisappointingly at the time, most every Dragon Ball related video game did not make its way to the US, outside of a stray release of Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout in 1997.
Based on a long-running manga series, the series grew to popularity in the US in the second half of the 90s, especially amongst teenage boys. While there were some animes that made their way to the US long ago, such as Astro Boy, the first series to truly cross over and become an absolute phenomenon was Dragon Ball Z.
