In your opinion, what is the worst Dragon Ball game?

Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu. Horrendous.

I'm going to say Sagas. I've never played Taiketsu, but something tells me I don't want to.

Obviously, Taiketsu and Sagas rank highest in the more recent games, but I'm sure there's been a handful of stinkers in the past. What about that NES game that's getting packaged along with DragonBall DS 2?

Dragonball: Final Bout for the PlayStation. As much as I would like to jump on the wagon here and say Sagas and Taiketsu were the worst, I never played either of those games.

I would agree with you there, as I haven't played Sagas & Taiketsu. Legacy Of Goku's a possible contender, as well.

Although aesthetically pleasing, in terms of gameplay, I hated the Tenkaichi Budokai series.

Definitely the DBZ TCG game. The first LoG comes close though. I played Sagas, and I actually kind of liked it. Is.... Is there something wrong with me? :cry:

The TCG game was awful, they never tell how the games works and most TCG video games like the Yu-Gi-Oh ones have a mode telling you on how to play. I still say that Ultimate Battle 22 is the worst DBZ game in my opinon.

I always felt sagas was so bad, it's good and actually enjoyed the 2 hours I spent beating it. :lol:

Final Bout and Ultimate Battle 22 are probably my least favorites, despite their awesome openings. I have yet to play Taiketsu... should I?

But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Sagas was actually pretty fun as long as you played Co-Op.

Ultimate Battle 22 is the only game so far when I rented and return back to blockbuster on the same day. The game makes Shaq Fu look awesome.

The first one. That Dragonball game for the zx28000 or whatever it's called. I hunted down a rom and emulator for about 2 minutes of the most retarded gameplay I've ever seen. That or I had no idea what I was doing. :lol: It's like a bad Atari 2600 game. Worse than E.T. even!

Other than that, I don't know. Sagas was alright for the short amount of time you spend beating it. I actually want to play it again someday, and maybe even own it. :| And I have no problem with any of the PS1 games. The only Gameboy game I've played was Legacy of Goku 1, which I thought was awesome, but I can imagine any of the other games on GB being crap.

Are you kidding me!! The Tenkaichi series had great graphics, had good controls and coveys the fighting in Dragon Ball Z better than any other game to date. Tenkaichi 3 is the best Dragon Ball game to ever come out, Taiketsu being the worst (I actually own it).

Dragon Ball DS and Dragon Ball DS 2.

Of the Dragon Ball games I've owned, the worst is by far Dragon Ball GT: Transformation. I could at least make it through both the original Legacy of Goku and Sagas. Transformation is so horrible that I only made it through two levels before taking it out of my GBA for good. (Actually it shares a cartridge with Buu's Fury, so it'll probably be back in my GBA eventually.)
