Critically Panned Dragon Ball Games That You Like

[Wobbuffet]

Also speaking of Buu's Fury am I the only one who liked it better than LOG2?

No. I liked Buu's Fury sidequests better (seriously, getting Mr. Satan a sandwich is not better than finding Kame-sennin's porn collection). Also, BF has cooler collectibles, the Z Fighters Exhibits and the hilarious "H-word" Exhibits.
Also, the graphics. I still can't look at the characters portraits in LOGII without cringing.

The magazine finding sidequest was in the original LOG, not Buu's Fury.
I'm not sure if I'd consider it a sidequest either. You had to complete it in order for Raditz to show up.

Yeah, those collectibles were great but I think LOGII had more to do.

The Golden Capsules, Missing Nameks (which leads to the fight with Cooler on New Namek), Character Statues, that admittedly lame extra if you get Mr. Satan to lvl 50...

I like Legacy of Goku II and Buu's Fury about equally honestly. The graphics in Buu's Fury are a bit better, but overall the experience I get from both are a lot more even than what I get from the first game (though I like it for what it is too). Buu's Fury had more post-game fun from what I remember though. I got a lot more out of running around fighting bandits to level up my other characters to their max from whatever level I'd gotten them to throughout the course of the story, than I did leveling Mr. Satan up from level 1 after beating II.

I like them both about equally as well, however, I didn't like how Buu's Fury removed the charged physical moves that they had in LoG2.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Yeah, that would be my main complaint too, now that I think about it. The charged physical moves gave an equal focus on physical combat next to the special energy attacks. In Buu's Fury, most of the time I'll just punch someone away long enough to use one of my energy attacks. Though either is better than just completely spamming energy attacks like I have to do in the first LoG game though.

The lowest DB games on Metacritic as of 2014 are:

Dragon Ball Z for Kinect 49/10
Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World 48/10
Dragon Ball Sagas 48/100
Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu 40/100
Dragon Ball: Evolution - The Video Game 28/100
Dragon Ball: Ultimate Battle 22 25/100

The only one on the list that I didn't play was Infinite World. I still think UB22 is still the worst DBZ game ever. I know some people like it for the nostalgia, but sometimes you have to take off your nostalgia glasses.

Why the hell are Infinite World and Evolution so low scored? Both games are comparable to Budokai 3 (IW) and Shin Budokai (DBE).

[TheGmGoken]

How the hell did Kinect do better than Infinite World.

Bull sugar!

[dbboxkaifan]

Taiketsu was completely horrible and close to unplayable but still it manages to score better than DBE & UB22.

I've never really took the time to learn how UB22 so whether it's a good or bad game in my opinion that I don't know.

Don't read too much into Metacritic scores. It's a flawed system. That being said, I agree that those two games are underrated. I didn't love Infinite World (I felt Budokai 3 had a far superior story mode), but it was a solid enough game. I already gave my thoughts on Evolution earlier. As for Ultimate Battle 22 having such an absurdly low score... no. Just no. A game would have to be absolutely broken to deserve a score that low from any reputable critic. I can't say I'm a huge fan of that particular game, but it is nowhere near the kind of crap that such a low average score would suggest.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Infinite World came out at a point in time when we already had DBZ games going to the newer systems if I recall, so that could play a part there. As for Evolution, even if the game is better than one would think, it still is tied to a movie that most people in general don't care for...so the movie's shadow likely loomed over the game too.

[Hellspawn28]

I found UB22 to be boring, slow and broken. The only thing that I like about the game was the intro and the music. It also came out way too late in the US and they were better off importing Legends instead. I never bother playing the DBE video game since most movie video games that are cash in on movies being release in theaters tend to suck.

Hell, the movie itself isn't half as bad as certain review aggregate sites would have you believe. It sure isn't good (not by any stretch of the imagination), but it's much more watchable then quite a few other movies that have released, particularly adaptations. I lived through Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, and Elektra. In particular, Dragonball Evolution looks pretty freaking awesome compared to Legend of Chun-Li. Once you've seen that one... ugh. To quote a better Dragon Ball film than Evolution, "Then you'll know what Hell is really like."

[Hellspawn28]

I would watch DBE over Legend of Chun Li and the Transformers sequels, but the movie is still crap IMO. The movie has bad acting, zero character development, awful writing and CG that looks like it came from the late 90's. Goku in the movie had no personality and everyone felt flat as fuck. DBE deserve the bad reviews it got on Rotten Tomaotes and Meta Critic. I also found Mortal Kombat Annihilation to be so bad it was good since the movie is pretty funny when you watch it with friends. I would take the second MK movie over Legend of Chun Li, Alone in the Dark and Silent Hill: Revelation.

[ShadowDude112]

Final Bout has always been my favorite Dragon Ball game. The newer ones are ok, but I like the more arcadey feel of Final Bout.

It's also like the show in that it takes forever to fire a special attack.

LOL @ guy that said he likes DBZ4Kinect.
Sagas FTW

What's wrong with liking games that the public doesn't? It's for my own entertainment no one else's.

You like Sagas and that's fine the game is broken but in its own way it's enjoyable too.

By the way, I know you don't really like Battle of Z but give the demo a try online because that's where the game truly shines and it's a ton of fun. It even got my hands worm from mashing the buttons so much.

Just wish they would release a patch in the future to allow people to have 1v1/2v2/3v3/4v4 offline matches because it's possible to have 1v1 matches online not just 4v4 constantly.

[RocktheDragon]

I really enjoy GT Final Bout put purely for nostalgic purposes. It just reminds me so much of not only my early childhood but of my early days in the DB universe when everything seemed so new and mysterious; the possibilities were endless at that time.

[Flame Dragon]

The problem with other fightning movies is that they can still be fun to watch just because of how bad they are.
So bad they are good.

Meanwhile, DBE is... boring. lame. insignificant.
It doesn't have enough cheesiness, is bland, the characters have no personality... (DBE Goku has not one shred of DB Goku!)
