If I had a PS2 as a kid, this would be quite possibly be one of my favourite games of all time, and I would have spent countless hours with it. But I didn’t, I grew up with the Legacy of Goku series. I only ever got a chance to play this one (all of Budokai and Tenkaichi for that matter) at a friend’s house when I was 11.
So it wasn’t until 2022 that I got to fully play through it on a Retroid Pocket 3+.
And man, it held up pretty nicely and was a joy to play through. I did have Raging Blast and Raging Blast 2, and while I loved them, I think graphically and mechanically this game has them beat. It also has them beat on the richness of content. This is one of the only games that goes through the DB, Z and GT story!
A beloved game by many that I’m sad to have missed, in all honesty, and there isn’t anything big to fault here.
8.5/10, nostalgia probably would’ve bumped this to a 9 or 10.
