Favorite Dragon Ball Video Game OST

[Lord Beerus]

I'm not sure whether a topic like this has been done, it probably has considering Kanzenshuu has covered about nearly every topic and if so don't bother posting. I'm gonna keep it short and sweet, out of all the Dragon Ball games that have been released to this day and of all the one you've played, which video game has had the best original soundtrack in your opinion?

For me, it's the Budokai Trilogy. Yes, I know about the Yamamoto plagiarism scandal making everything harsher in hindsight, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the hell out of the music.

Final Bout.

I already liked some of the tunes from UB22 but I love how they have been rearranged. Every theme fits the characters, especially the villains. The overall persussive and pounding sound of the soundtrack is what makes it so infinitely memorable to me. My all time favorite DB video game OST.

Oh man. Final Bout brings back so many memories.

I remember being so hyped up as a kid in the thought of playing that game. I was thinking to myself when I fight hear about, "A 2D Dragon Ball beat em up game on the PS1?! Man, that's gonna be awesome!"

Then I finally bought the game and played it....

Same here. Plagiarism or not, the OSTs in the Budokai trilogy are still favorites of mine. I still listen to some of the songs from the Budokai 1 OST while surfing the web.

The Infinite World OST is great too. Good variety of songs on that OST.

Best DBZ Game Ever.

my favorite track from infinite world is gogeta vs omega shenron

I agree, the Budokai trilogy had the best score even though several of the tracks are plagiarized but that doesn't make it any less headbanging goodness. Especially the Cell Games theme.

[Kakacarrottop]

The music used in the First Legacy of Goku game, i have no idea who composed it, although it sort of sounds like a mix between the Bruce Faulconer and Shuki Levy scores. The great music sort of made that crappy game worth playing.

Ultimate Battle 22. The only thing the game had going for it aside from decent sprites, was its soundtrack.

For years as a kid, playing Super Butouden roms, I really liked SB3 OST.
Later I really liked what I later found to be Faulconer score in Legacy of Goku series.
Now I like Budokai series ost from Yamamoto.

Tough I prefer the Kikuchi score in Spike developed games the most! It's pitty, that they are playing in the original short pieces and weren't rearanged same as the Legacy of Goku ones.
As it is weird as the track stops in middle of the play and after a short while resumes again. At least the ''random'' option during the battle will be awesome! - different tracks will play during your fight.
I can do this on XBOX with Raging Blast 2, playing Kikuchi soundtrack from the hard drive and it's fun.

I think my favorite OST theme from the games was from Tenkaichi 2 - "Dark Half" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYErC8d5Koc

But I do agree, despite GT Final Bout being an absolutely horrid game, it still had good music. Though I think some of my favorite DBZ music in recent years isn't from the companies, but from fans. Like The Enigma's SS3 Broly theme - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2CJD734z5E

I like Namek Theme from Budokai. I was looking for some tracks and that caught my attention imediately.

[Tatakae!!Ramenman]

Challenger from Budokai 1. I love the soundtrack for Budokai 1 so much. I listen to hard rock and some heavy metal music in my free time, so when I hear electric guitars with Dragon Ball Z it's such an awesome combination for me.

From another thread

Most Namek Themes are great

Overall tho? Kenji Yamamoto's entire videogame libray before Raging Blast 2 is a joy to hear, from the specific character themes of the Butouden era, the history driven tracks of the Budokai era, the nod to Super Butouden 2 Trunks theme in Shin Budokai 2 and the "FIGHT IT OUT!" style he went with Burst Limit (get it?) and Infinite World. Despite the nod to C-18's theme from Shin Butouden in RB2, that score feels a little less spectacular than what came before it.

The Budokai trilogy and the BT2 soundtrack are a tie for me. Both have modernized and memorable soundtracks. For BT2, I was GLAD they didn't use Kikuchi for the international version, because, as I said in many threads now, I think most of Kikuchi's Z work sounds generic and outdated as hell.

The Game!Kikuchi tracks have all been re-arranged, one might argue that in some cases they sound better than their TV counterparts. But yeah, BT2 had a sick international OST, IMO the re-release of Raging Blast 2 was enriched by it.
