Super Dragon Ball Z not Dragon Ball Super - A Retrospective
Рет қаралды 18,243
Күн бұрынNow this is called Super dragon ball Z not to be confused with dragon ball super, which came out way after this game.
Super Dragon ball Z is actually a port of a Japanese arcade game from 2005.
The playstation 2 version came out the following year. Shifting away from the gameplay of the Budokai and the Tenkaichi series, it plays more like a more traditional fighting game, in the realms of street fighter and SNK.

Seeing more and more talk about this game brings a smile to my face. I love seeing obscure or hidden things like this get recognized and brought into the limelight on KZfaq or elsewhere. Hell, I learned there's a whole community still running games online for Super DBZ. Amazing what people will do for the things they love 👍

The game over screen after beating the game is very much an arcade fighting game trope. Usually they'll ask you to ask you to put your initials in if you made the leader board in either time completed or points.

Something I haven’t seen many people mention about this game is that whilst it’s said that the game only has the dub cast for the audio, the PAL version of this game comes with the Japanese voices only and doesn’t let you change to the dub cast.

Out of all the DBZ games on the PS2, Super Dragonball Z was my all-time favorite. What I loved the most about was how they stuck with the manga art style with the game instead of going with the anime. I always wished they had of made a Super DBZ 2 but, alas, it didn't happen. Sad, too, this game was the 💩 back in the day. I remember spending many an evening after work playing the game. If they ever do any remasters of any of the DBZ games, I seriously hope this is one they pick.

Played this a bit when it was new and it was in a weird place for me. The graphics were so good it made going back to any other dbz game at the time feel like a downgrade even though i didn't like the gameplay. So by looking too good but not playing that well (to my tastes) it made me disinterested in DBZ games for awhile. at least until xenoverse

I have that game since 2006 despite my lack of memories of playing that game. That game is somewhat interesting even though i hate the "Action" bar mechanics. That game is mediocre to me even though the cinematic cutscenes of ultimate attacks are cool to watch. I love that Chi Chi is playable which is unfortunately rare to see her playable in Dragonball games. This game seems like it's an experimental game.
