Best Dragon Ball Video Game Soundtrack?

Post by MarCas92 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:11 am

In my opinion, Budokai 3.

Vegeta's Sacrafice is beautiful and Twist of Fate kicks so much ass! All the tracks are amazing ranging from Jazzy to Rock, it's a masterpiece. It's one of my favorite video game soundtracks period.

What's your favorite?

As replacement music or original?

For original the Japanese releases always win because they feature the original Dragon Ball Z soundtrack (synthesised version).

Replacement: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

BT2 has a lot of variety, modernity and it's fitting with whichever game it's used, in this case it was used on RB2 and BHD.

Final Bout.
Some tracks are remade from UB but the soundtrack fits the game like no other does.

Ah, the Alpha and the Omega. As all life was created from Chaos...so shall it be DESTROYED!!!

The wails of machines | Singing cold harmony | Shifting air upward | Entranced by the breeze | Light pours like blood | Into a cosmic sea | Of stars crystallized | In a frozen symphony

Damn, this is a hard choice. I'm gonna have to go with RB2, B3, or BL.

There were too many games with a soundtrack that's unsurpasabble in the past (Super Butouden 2, Gokuden, DBZ Gaiden on the NES).

But if i will have to select one, the most memorable one, it would be:

Legend of the Super Saiyan (Super Saiya Densetsu) for SNES. It's absolutely beautiful and with the gameplay itself, this was my favorite DBZ Game.

Now that you mention, Dragon Ball Z - Super Gokuden - Assault Chapter (1995) soundtrack is catchy and memorable whether you're a fan of the franchise/series/anime because the music just has that impact. It's that good.

This was composed by Kenji Yamamoto also, I think.

"The Great Demon King Piccolo" is my favourite track it's even better than some of the tracks he composed for Dragon Ball Kai. It definitely would've suited Kai.

Kenji Yamamoto's work on the Super Butoden and Budokai games... The peak of his abilities, plagiarization or no; those soundtracks will always have a spot on my MP3 player.
Nothing matters (in a cosmic sense.) Have a good time.

Budokai 1. Even though I have the knowledge that most of the tracks are plagiarized, I still love Budokai 1's soundtrack. Some of my favorite songs on there are The Battle With All My Force, that unnamed piece that plays on the Cell Games Arena, Full of Tears, and A Hero's Desperation.

Budokai series and the Butoden series. Hands down.

Hyper Dimension has some pretty good tracks as well.

Well I'm going to have to side with Dragon Ball Z Buu's Fury. Kickass soundtrack from the anime.

Budokai series and Burst Limit. Don't think I've heard much, if any music of games not released in North America. The synthesized Kikuchi stuff in the Sparking! games is great too, vastly prefer that to the replacement scores.

In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Raging Blast 2. I play "Dark Half" for nearly every fight :D
Also a big fan of the Faulconer tracks in Legacy of Goku 2. "Super Namek" and "Tropical Islands" especially.

Pretty much. Super Butoden 1 had some amazing tracks... 3 was okay but paled in comparison to the first two.


Budokai 1-3, as well.

I thought Butoden 3's OST was great! Very energetic! Vegeta's theme is so bad ass in that! Especially arranged.
