Favorite DBZ video game songs?

Post by MalikArcanum » Sat Jul 10, 2010 11:47 pm

Mine would be, without question, "Exhilarating" "Crisis" from the Dragon Ball Z:Indainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu soundtrack:

In fact, that games entire soundtrack was amazing. I've also noticed that VegettoEX uses some of the music from the game in his podcasts.

What's your favorites?

Definately the Tenkaichi 2 score. This song is my favourite.

One of my personal favorites is a track titled "Lost Courage" from Tenkaichi 2. I would play that track in almost every battle.

Tough one but my favorites would be between A Hero's Desperation or Vegeta's Sacrifice, both from Budokai. Hah I remember leaving the game on just to hear those when I was a kid.

I forgot about A Hero's Desperation. That song is definitely in my favorites.

I was so pissed when that song was never officially released, but luckily omgisgood ripped it from the game disc.

On a side note, I don't know why, but I still like Budokai 1's graphics the best. For some reason it just seems more like the show to me than the cel-shaded ones all the following games have had.

I totally find the Butoden and UB22 soundtracks more memorable, myself.
Though 'Legends' had some decent stuff as well...
(Though I primarily used the Faulconer score for BGM in my action figure movies from 2002, I also recorded some songs from UB22 and used them from time to time, and used the 'Legends' soundtrack a lot, now that I think of it... I kinda want to go back and document what all I used now, hahahaha...)

Favorite, though? I dunno. I kinda liked Vegeta's theme (Super Butoden 3, UB22 and Final Bout), and Hikari No Will Power is always awesome...
and well before we got UB22, my parents download a song from it off of Nabster called "SSJ2 Gohan Vs. Perfect Cell", which was used for Cell and Freeza's BGM in UB22, and another version of it was used for Cell in Final Bout (I like the UB22 version better. :P ).


For the PS2 games... eh... I dunno. I like the "grasslands" theme from the first Budokai. None of the music in the (US) Tenkaichi games really stuck with me.

Have you heard the arranged version of that theme? Kenji Yamamoto added a lot of heroic elements to it.

Oh, I forgot about the Final Bout score. That game has some kick-ass music. My favourite is still the BT2 score, but the Final Bout score is a close second. Too bad the game wasn't that good. :cry:

My fav is Biggest Fight as theme and as BGM it's that requiem orchestra piece from Gokuden 2.
Also I liked a lot the music which played during the hunt for Dragon Balls in Cell saga in Infinite World, which was unfortunately never released.
FighterZ, Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat: Funky_Strudel
PS5: Dynamixx88
Trust me, I'm millenial and a designer.
