This is purely nostalgia talking here, but I don’t care, I think this one of the best games on the PS2. There are more than 150 playable characters and they only have 3 movesets between them, the story mode is the same thing we’ve seen in a thousand DBZ games, and I love every second of it. Getting to fly around as your favorite characters, perform their moves and recreate iconic moments from the anime and manga is an absolute blast. Combine that with the many challenge and tournament modes, and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is the most fun you can have with a DBZ game.

There’s plenty I can criticize about this game, but I won’t do so here. Sometimes, I don’t want to play a game with deep mechanics and an involved story. Sometimes I just want to play with my action figures.
