Fergus Mills of the Koalition writes: If I had to come up with a few things that defined my teen years, it would be playing video games and watching Dragon Ball Z. Dragon Ball opened the doors to the world of anime for a lot of people who only knew about cartoons and Power Rangers. The high pace action and the music in DBZ was enough to keep people coming back for more and more. The only thing that was missing from the early DBZ experience were worldwide video games releases. All that changed though when Dragon Ball Z Budokai first hit the PS2. No matter how lame the game actually was, it had been what everyone was waiting for. Now let's fast forward 8 years later.
It's over 9000. Come read about the best Dragon Ball games of all time, spanning from the golden past to the thrilling present.

2. Hyper Dimension
3. Budokai 3
4. Budokai Tenkaichi 3
5. Legacy of Goku 1 & 2
6. Infinite Worlds

3. Budokai 2
I’ve played more but the others are forgetful for me
I am playing Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans right now after seeing it on youtube . Its soooo GOOOD!!! Looks amazing on my 3ds.
Not only does a Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 modding scene exist, but it's host to some kooky fusion abominations!
One of the most prolific game series in existence despite being licensed, Dragon Ball has seen its fair share of the good, the bad, and the why did they even bother.
legacy of Goku. Still, want a console-style game like that instead of fighter #9837648932. I remember a lot of good times with the Budokai games on gamecube, Xenoverse was pretty fun but I joined too late so trying to play online was nearly impossible and Future Trunk's new voice actor was so terrible I didn't want to play the story. FighterZ looks freaking awesome, can't wait for that. Did not believe my friend when he told me about the rumor of a Blazblue style DBZ game and the E3 footage did not disappoint.
I miss playing the Budokai games on PS2. All the DBZ games this gen have been a major step back in my opinion.
DBZ Budokai 3<<<< greatest DBZ Game of all time... o literally spent over 100 hours on it :) 2 addictive...
I think the best DBZ game has to be Shin Budokai: Another Road for the PSP. It had better control than Budokai 3, was more action orientaded thanks to the new aura burst feature and it had an awesome totally fresh original story about Future Trunks made just for the game.
For me the best DBZ titles were the DBZ Budokai 1... best storytelling for a dbz game i ever saw. Plus the fighting system was really solid.
Legacy of goku 2 on GBA was also a great RPG that really did the show justice.
The DBZ budokai tencaichi 3 was actually best on wii since it really made the fights feel so much more intense... it's just a shame the online was so horrifically broken in that title. Otherwise the concept of switching to the enemies perception for battles where heroes lost was great fun.
dbzbt3 the best
