Worst Dragon Ball game of all time?

[dbboxkaifan]

The DBZ Card game for GBA really is that bad? I remember enjoying the heck out of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Play It! for PC so this comes as rather disappointing.

MGR reviewed it so it might be interesting and informative for those who're curious about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yJS_HBZDQs

I have to go with Taiketsu. Ultimate Battle 22 and Final Bout at least have good music going for them. Taiketsu is a game I haven't touched in over a decade.

At least that game teaches you how to play the game from what I can remember. The TCG game on the GBA was a game made for the people who played the card game which I always hated. If you're going to make a game market to a bigger audience then make the game fun for newer players. I never got into the TCG because the rules were really confusing to me, but I remember the game was really popular during the early 2000's. The Wizard Store in the Columbia, MD had tournaments for the game since it was so popular.

I played Taiketsu and it was awful. At least I only payed $10 for used at Gamestop back in 2004, so I didn't lose much off from it.

Dragonball Evolution, I thought I might enjoy it, I didn't.

You didn't, how?

DBE:Evolution's gameplay is basically the same as Dragon Ball: Shin Budokai and anyone who's played it can tell it is also. That was the reason why I enjoyed it actually.

Hmm, this one's hard. There's a lot of bad games that came out in the 90's too... Maybe DBZ Sagas?

WTF? I already answered the question. Lock this thread.

What's your problem?

[Roland_ELoG]

Yes, a definitive answer exists for a question of opinion. I'll believe that when I see it.

Ultimate Blast fails so spectacularly at being a fighting game, even for a Dragon Ball Z game. So bad, it destroys friendships.

That Cartoon Network Flash game where you randomly choose the position of the fighter. I'm not talking about "MIssion to Namek" where you do training with Goku, Vegeta and Trunks, I'm talking about whatever the other one was called. Freeza was cheap as hell when you finally get to him.

Oh man, I forgot those games even existed. Do they still exist somewhere in a playable form?

Not sure, I did a cursory search to try and find their names actually and didn't have any luck :-/

Dragon Ball Z: Tournament? DBZT was one of my favourite games to play on the internet back in the 2000's.

I remember that one. I thought it looked pretty good, and it was fun at the time (for a Flash game...) Oh hindsight.

To be fair, it is a hastily made Flash game purely made for DBZ publicity (I think the character sprites are taken from Super Butōden) so I think it doesn't count.

[Roland_ELoG]

It's definitely not a REAL game. And for a kid in a school computer lab with nothing to do, it was fun.

So not as bad as Ultimate Blast.

Taiketsu for GBA.

What he said.

The PS1 games (specifically UB22 and Final Bout) suck too.

I know I already said Legacy of Goku, but I want to say that, on principle, I feel like I should hate Ultimate Battle 22 more; it started the trend of roster-size being a major selling point which, in my opinion, is the bane of Dragon Ball games' existence. "Tenkaichi 3! Over 150 characters! ...Doesn't matter a damn bit which one you choose because they all play the same, but hey, there's lots of'em!". Ironically, having a 'large' roster is probably the one thing Ultimate Battle 22 actually did right because the characters did handle differently from each other (at least from what I remember). It was still an awful game though.

Shhhhh nononono. The grown-ups are talking about video games.

Ultimate Battle 22's problem wasn't really the roster, it's just that the damn game is almost unplayably stiff. Final Bout is the one with eight Goku. Eight and a half if you count Vegetto. At least in Sparking the Goku Swarm is outnumbered by the other characters.

[Quebaz]

Shh guys, UB22 doesn't exist, It's Shin Butouden remeber? (may not be much better, but it's still better than both UB22 and Final Bout).

[Hellspawn28]

Gamespot's review on UB22 is still funny even 10 years later
