Which HD DBZ video game should I get?

[theawesomepossum777]

I know this is very subjective but anyhoo. I like a DBZ games with a decent roster, fighting system, story mode, and music.
Which one of the HD games would be the most consistent for me?

1. DBZ: Burst Limit
2. DBZ: Raging Blast
3. DBZ: Raging Blast 2
4. DBZ: Ultimate Tenkaichi

DBZ for Kinect and DBZ: Budokai HD Collection do NOT count.

[DBZAOTA482]

DBZ: Burst Limit.

The others have a decent rooster but lack a good fighting system.

Burst Limit it is.

Raging Blast 1 and 2 are part of the Dragon Ball name, not DBZ.

Burst Limit!

Raging Blast 1. The music is wonderful, the what-if stories are fun and the graphic is one of the best. Simple yet reminds of the anime a lot, doesn't need hell a lot of shading like UT to show the great side of the game.

Get RB1 or Burst Limit, both are great.

I'd say if you're in it for the fighting and the presentation, get either Burst Limit or Raging Blast 2.

Burst Limit of course is one of the best looking DBZ games ever. The combat is similar to the Budokai series, but there's no charging of Ki. The online is rather poor and laggy though, at least in my neck of the woods.

I like it, but I know many folks dislike Raging Blast 2 because it has no story mode, but IMO it has some of the best graphics in any DBZ game, there aren't any weird camera problems and glitches like RB1, and they tried to improve the combat by making each character a bit more different from one another. It also has decent online gameplay, it doesn't lag. But most players online do spam the hell out of certain characters and attacks.

Of course, you could just buy Budokai HD Collection, if you don't want to take a chance on these newer games...

I tried the Online Mode a couple months ago and it was gone, tried on Xbox 360. With RB1, RB2 and UT it's likely BL's off.

It's not just because it doesn't have a Story Mode.

[Hellspawn28]

Burst Limit had the best gameplay, but the replay value is pretty short. I doubt anyone plays it online anymore and Raging Blast 2 does have a good selection of characters. I think some people still play it online due to the let down of Ultimate Tenkaichi.

[theawesomepossum777]

Okay,so now it's down to the following:

1. DBZ: Burst Limit
2. DB: Raging Blast 2

From what I've heard from you guys, Burst Limit's online is dead (which is pretty dissapointing). So would Raging Blast 2 fit my needs? I'm wondering if the what-ifs I'm hearing about from RB1 are in RB2....

[DBZGTKOSDH]

Raging Blast 2 doesn't have any story mode. At all.

[Hellspawn28]

RB2 has no story mode at all but the character selection makes it worth it. I remember in Galaxy mode will have a boss battle and that battle will have a fight based on a scene from the series (Like Goku vs. Saiyan Saga Vegeta).

SSJ3 Vegeta and LSSJ3 Broly are in RB2 as well.

Raging Blast 2 will keep you busy for a while.

Raging Blast 2 will keep you busy for a while.

Galaxy Mode is pretty damn long so it will keep the user busy for a while, indeed. Once the Galaxy Mode is completed, I didn't find anything interesting to keep playing it.

The online mode sucked, imo, the rivals were always using the same attacks/controls, I once said this and the opponent told me "it's how the game works" and I had to agree with him. It's true.

Not really the game's fault.

[theoriginalbilis]

I don't know if it'll sway you one way of the other, but Raging Blast 2 does have two more things in it's favor:

1) Characters that have never been in any other DBZ game. Androids #13-#15, Cooler's Armored Squad, etc...

2) The 2010 "Plan to Eradicate the Super Saiyans" feature is one the disc, subtitled in English, and available to view right from the start. I actually quite liked the special and it looks pretty sweet in HD.

3) RB2 contains Kenji Yamamoto's final score for anything DBZ. Raging Blast 2 was his final contribution to the DBZ world, before the plagiarism scandal began. If you can find a first printing or older copy of the game, it will contain his music. I know more recent printings have replaced his music with tracks from Tenkaichi 2... so if you're into this little musical oddity, I'd say try and pick it up.

[Gokuden]

Burst Limit is my fav, a close second would be Infinite World.
The recent DBZ games need some work.

Enjoy the plagiarism.

Save your money. The HD platforms have not been kind to Dragon Ball games.

I find it complicated to know how what copies have which music, so I just bought from TheHut/Zavvi and got the game with BT2's music. At first I was a little disappointed but then I learnt to appreciate the replacement music.

BT2's OST is my favourite and the audio quality sounds a lot better than on the original BT2 so I couldn't care less for the loss of the original RB2 music. I could always load it via USB but I didn't, didn't like Yamamoto's RB2 music much.

[theawesomepossum777]

Well, I've decided guys! I'll eventually buy RB2 over Burst Limit. Sure, RB2 has no real story mode, but it's better than a not-completed one like Burst Limit's. Plus, the BT2 replacement score intrigues me because I love that score.
