As many of us know, Dragon Ball games before the revolutionary first Budokai game had a less than favorable reputation of being little more than low-quality cash-ins with qualities generally ranging from mediocre to pure shit (looking at you Final Bout).
Which game do you think was the best of the worst?

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Hyper Dimension and Super Butouden 2. I think there was more good games than bad.
Re: Best Pre-Budokai era Game?
Dragon Ball Z: Legends from PlayStation is actually pretty awesome.

Re: Best Pre-Budokai era Game?
The only pre-Budokai game i played was i think UB22 (it was reissued in the early 2000s along with Final Bout to cash in on the franchise's English popularity). I also religiously played LSW but wasn't that made around the same time as the first Budokai?

DBZ Legends was amazing, even if you could finish it in a day 
which I did.
Funny Story. This game was my first exposure to the full dbz history, and I thought Vegito was a type of Farmer Gohan XD

#3 DBZ Super Butouden 2. A weird but fun story mode and a very addictive gameplay.
#2 DBZ Legendary Super Warriors. Very long and challenging story mode, addicting vs cpu mode. Just amazing.
#1 DBZ Legends. I think it's the best DBZ game. Yeah, even better that Budokai,Tenkaichi,Xenoverse,etc.
