It's the GOAT DBZ Game ...Only BT2 came close for me. The game just about everything right.
I'm, of course, talking about...... Budokai Tenkaichi 3......
Nah, it's Budokai 3.
Anyways, it improved the fighting mechanics from the two games to the point where it was just not a good DBZ game but a good fighter period, the single-player campaign was cool and had very high replay value, the graphics were cell-shaded eye candy, and the Dragon Arena was test of skill.
Let's give the game a round of applause for it set a benchmark that no other has surpassed.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I'm just about done with the concept of reboots and making shows that were products of their time and impactful "new and sexy" and in line with modern tastes and sensibilities. Let stuff stay in their era and give today's kids their own shit to watch.
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.

Shin Budokai is just like Budokai 3, but better in every way. And Shin Budokai 2 even improves more upon the improved formula. Budokai 3 is extremely outdated at this point.

Lack of fanservice. PSP wasn't able to handle Budokai 3's Ultimate Attacks, Dragon Rushes, Fusions and this stuff. And that's why the gameplay felt more dumbed down to me and got stale fast.
Story Mode was also a huge mess.

I bought the Budokai HD collection, and let tell you, the game was just as awesome as it was when I first played it over 10 years. It's aged like fine red wine.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

And compared to budokai 1 in the hd collection budokai 3 actually had a decent placement
