  • You GOTTA do a re-make of this video saiying that in your opinion Ultimate Battle 22 is the second worst, and Final Bout the third.

    Ultimate Tenkaichi is always. ALWAYS. first.

    But hey, the video was uploaded on 2008!

  • this game isnt that rare i got it from amazon for 5 euro

  • I hate how they just jump straight in the air without any form of animation. Makes me appreciate the budakai games that keep afterwards.

  • This game rocked my childhood and i love it

  • you can counter meteor attacks just as easily and start your own....

    dont be pissed at the game cause the name is superbaby either... blame the makers of db gt...

    Sure there are some flaws to this game especially when targetting your enemy...

    the mode where you train your character to be stronger... is one of the best i've seen so far

  • my reiwe is below 10/10 for music

    charter list 6.5/10

    graphics for 1996-1998 for psx 7.5/10 dosent really mater here worth 1/2

    game play 8/10 with meteor off

    stages 5/10

    customization 6/10 extra credit here

    cut sceens 8/10 dosent really mater here worth 1/5

    overall score 7.2

  • this game isn't that bad pros and cons pros the music is great it is fun if you turn of meteor and demo build up mode personaly is more fun 2payer is good some voice acting is good ex baby, vegito, trunks, gohan cons with out meteor and demo of it is impossible to play combos have fast reset still better than 22 missing a few charters that should be playable ex uub, baby vegeta, super baby, ss 4 goeta, omega shenron, ss 4 vegeta, normal vegeta, gotten, ss gotten, and gottenks no stage section
  • uh i found this game hard but fun and ultimate battle 22 is pretty fun to me lol but that was when i was in 1999 when i got them if i played them again and i still have em i would probaly go crazy

  • Eugh.. I've got this game. I was so disappointed as a kid. Haha.

  • You should review "Dragon Ball Kai: Ultimate Butoden". As far as the gameplay, it feels like the spiritual successor of Final Bout....except good.

    or Hyper Dimension

  • ... controls -1000000000000000000000/10 would have been more fitting these psx variants of dbz games are a real pain in the ass even the sega game plays like this and some of the snes games (wtf were they thinking all those years??) they started getting it right(but not all the way right) around butoden3(also no story), and got it right on snes DBZ HYPER DIMENSIONS... then fucked it all up on psx...hyperdimensions had better graphix and attacks to... gawd how they fucked up this gaming franchise

  • I remember owning this and UB22. I used to love this because I compared it to UB22. It was in 3D, the K-Wave looked right, you had flight controls. It sucked hard no doubt, but as a DBZ/GT game, it was epic.

    The PAL version us Brits had though, was in Japanese, which at the time I never liked. I was too used to the Ocean dub Toonami showed, same again with Budokai 1, but that was years back.

    Still, that opening music was bitching.

  • This game was a piece of garbage. But damn it, it was the most entertaining piece of garbage of my life. When it came out, everybody here thought it was the shit.

  • @CaboArmorKing Same here.

  • The Only character i like about this game it's CELL.

  • its actually bebi in japanese.bebi vegeta

  • haha, well i don't know about you guys, but when I owned this game I LOVED IT it's what got me into dragonball z, i honestly loved the game to death. Too bad it got stolen :\

  • you need to review DBZ legends for PS1.

  • holy shit this is a nostalgia explosion! I played this SO MUCH! I wanna go back to when I bought it :(

  • Ultimate batle 22 sucks too hahaha i mean , "Dragon Ball Z Legend" RULES !!

  • this game is patetic, dragon ball z ultimate batle 22 rules !!

  • You say that this is the one of the worst Dragonball Game ever, but this is one of the best games ever and which led on to other games

  • @DragonballMegafan While I may not agree with what you say, I respect your right to say it. I don't like Final Bout for the reasons mentioned in the review, although - as I mentioned both in the review and in the video description - I find it at least playable compared to Ultimate Battle 22. In no way am I denying it's part in continuing the Dragon Ball videogame franchise in Japan (and arguably kicking it off outside Japan) but I just feel this wasn't a particularly great installment.

  • lol i had the japanese version of this and completed this on hard.

  • You forget to mention Super Vegetto...he is a super saiyan too  xD

    Well this game was actually good for it's time I would say...after all it came for PS and it was before Budokai

  • I liked this game. :D

  • For the unlockable characters, they cannot be saved, but I do not want to keep beating Battle Mode just to play the hidden ones.

  • Lol useto have this game but was totally in Japanese. Never learned how to play it well

  • meto smash kickz ass

  • This is the greatest ps1 game ever..

    me and my friends would see how fast we could press the button (you know when the power battle)..we press the button until our fingers turn red lol..damn my fast pressing skill is just by playing this game.

  • i remember doing the combo everytime i play this game roflll xD

  • I have this game. Everything said in this review is DEAD ON!

  • The funny thing about this game (and Ultimate Battle 22) is that back in the late 90s, DBZ fans loved the idea of any DBZ video game. We didn't care how bad it was, we were just desperate to control Goku and the gang in a virtual realm.

    But now that we have the Budokai series and Burst Limit, the price for Final Bout has plummeted (Remember when it went for $100 at Software Etc? That alone shows you that the game was more of a rare novelty than an enjoyable game) and everyone has lost interest.

  • Holy crap, I remember this used to go for one hundred dollars IF you were lucky enough to find it at Software Etc.

  • the bay part was fucking hilarious

  • You forgot Super Vegeto :P

  • how do you go super saiyan in this? i have this game from years ago, and it always puzzled me

  • @K155fan You don't actually get to "transform" in this. All the Super Saiyan characters need to be unlocked, and have their own separate places on the roster. So you can just choose whoever you want to use, once you unlock them.

  • I bought both this and UB22 when they appeared here in the UK about 10 years ago. UB22 disappointed me sooo much but Final Bout gave me some hours of joy...luckily though DBZ Budokai was released in the UK a year after these. I might buy them again just cause they're "rare".

  • lol ok fine ppl giving games a bad name came out on one of the oldest consoles on sony and then tell its bad not to mention it was one of the first console games

  • i actually like this alot alot more than aby of the stupid dbz that comes out on ps2, xbox, xbox 360 and ps3. dbz legends iis still better than this game though

  • Um...the second worst?  How can that be? This is like one of the rarest and most expensive video games on the planet! The lowest price I ever saw it being sold for was $69.99, and that's more expensive than any other game I knew of at the time (2001)! If it's that rare and that expensive, then it must obviously be good!

  • I bought this n it didn't even work on ps2, good thing I only paid $5 for it

  • This review was UNNECESSARILY harsh.

    The "meteor" combos are very much breakable. If you're an idiot, of course you'll get owned to death with it. There is a way to break out of it.

    Sluggish controls? Respectfully disagree. Somewhat clumsy, however. Some of them are more of a nuisance rather than difficulty... like doing a blast and then tapping triangle a lot on your keypad.

    Graphics were decent for PS1.

    This review deserves 3/10, just like how he rated the game.

  • lol I sadly own this and ultimate battle 22. Is it true this is super rare?

  • @SSJCerious If the fact that the game used to (and probably stil does) go for ridiculous amounts of money on Ebay is any indication, I'd say yes.

  • @ImpulseKid86 no, i still have the game form 5 years ago ^__^

  • @ImpulseKid86 in ebay i found one for 157$ wtf!

  • @ImpulseKid86 some people sell them for 30 dollars only though.

  • @SSJCerious haha i own ub 22 and a burn of final bout for some reason idk what i was smoking

  • @shadowtsunami xD

    my mom got both those shits for me as random ass "presents"

  • @SSJCerious haha they must have been very very VEERRYYY cheap lol

  • Final bout was the Shit! I remember have tournaments at my friends house that would last hours. But we had the imported version, because we wanted to play so bad. I know the gameplay doesn't hold up to today standards, but if they ever put it on PSN, I'll buy it in heartbeat.

  • Basically, this game is the FIRST worst PS1 Dragon Ball game. Broken fighting mechanics, cheap characters, unnecessary clones (SS's), pointless build up mode and overrated.

    The reason why some people think Ultimate Battle 22-27 is worst only because of the graphics, NOTHING ELSE, they didn't care for how well balanced it played.

    Silly graphics fagots.

  • If you got this game in the 90's, you wouldn't think of it as a waste. Hell I only had the japanese version and finished arcade mode in different difficulty and received different endings. I even tinkered on the "level up mode" and I found it really fun making your character strong. Then I made it to level 120 by leveling up my attacks. If I didn't give it to my cousins before, I would still be playing it today.

  • I don't remember this game looking this good it actually looks nice imo

  • I used to love this game (and I still do love the illustrations and soundtrack)

  • where is vegeta you fucking bitch!

  • I just easily beat baby in my real ps1.

  • i actually loved this game and i still have it

  • Super Baby is easy as hell. All you have to do is stay at his feet so he can't touch you kind of pathetic. You made it hard on yourelf.

  • I thought this was the shit when I was little. It was the only DBZ game on the market, and at that point int the mid-ninties, not even action figures were produced yet. It's weird to see how massive DBZ's become when it started out as our favorite little cult show.

  • this game is not the worst man....

  • lol its all ocean dub x_x

  • I Just Found It, And I Dont Care What You Classics Haters Sya, Its A Pure Treasure

  • I wanna know how the fuck THIS piece of turd came before GT

  • i now How to get all characters and goku ss4 ..

    press up left right down 10 times .. and then press triangle5 times , square5 , circle5 and x :D

  • The game was cool back in the day. It is garbage overall though. However, the leveling system is one of my favorites in any game. By using certain moves or combos repetitively they get stronger. It was easily abused though. I remember using a "turbo controller" to keep punching Pan over and over while i slept. She would block every attack but each one would make my punches stronger. By the morning after the fight ended I would be max level and my punches could kill anybody in 1 hit.

  • u dont sound like a kid

  • @Impulsekid86 "a full two minute delay between the time you input an attack combo and the time your chosen character executes it" Wow... thats a bit of an exaggeration dont you think?

  • @comedynitegard I respectfully disagree. I don't think its an exaggeration at all. Someone actually called me on this previously, and more than anything else, I blame the severe button lag on the developers for rushing the game out the door. Thats just me, though.

  • @ImpulseKid86 Well i own the game and I do agree that there is some lag from when you input an attack combo and when your character executes it, but it's not a full two minutes

  • @ImpulseKid86 Having wasted many precious hours of childhood on this game, I'd say that two minutes is actually being generous.

  • I Enjoyed this game. :L Esp the Specails

  • I liked the game when I was little,lol.

  • Ha! Moja pierwsza gra o DB! A najlepsze jest to, że tylko w tej grze można grać Trunks'em z DB GT na prawdę w innych grach jego nie ma :( Jeszcze pamiętam jak pierwszy raz pokonałem Baby Vegete i całą grę :) To było coś.

  • SuperBaby: Super baby wants its milk where is it !!!!! oh.... who are you ? you stole my milk i punch you !

  • steven blum as goku lmao classic

  • well the game is ancient i played it back when i was a kid super baby would ALWAYS kill me i still have it an play it from time to time BUT with the super sayajin characters yea its alot of them on there but its GT not Z GT everyone was super sayajin besides pan and hercule lol

  • Oh god, I never noticed before but the stages look like sets for a really bad play.

  • i remember going to my cousins when i was pretty young to play this game, it was the first time i realized there were ssj3's and ssj4's and this was during the android saga, it blew my mind

  • The technology in the game isn't on 2010 quality levels... because it was made for PS1 in the 90s. You probably wouldn't have been able to do better then.

  • i dont even see how you can defeat super bay

  • i wonder why vegeta has only his ssj form in this game? wheres normal vegeta? this game is good!!! i will sue you if you disagree

  • This Game is such a classic, I bought it 2000 Jap. Version it was such fun.

  • y du dey look like robot chicken?

  • man I want a newer 2010 gt gamee for the ps3 xD II really do actually isent this the last gt game?

  • This game sucked like the DBGT series

  • This game was only good when ps1 was still huge, i had the luck of actually owning this game with a converted (starland ftw) PS1 before the 90s came to a close so it was the only time i really had loads of friends wanting to play it seeing how at the time the farthest america got into dragon ball z was right at the gynu fights (toonami and that akward transition in voice changes) so as a fan at the age 9-12 at that time seeing a "super saiyin" when there were none on tv was quite an WOW

  • @uspm4a1 TL;DR this game was only good for the inital time of relase, by the time it was released in america it was too late for it to be enjoyable at all

  • i had that transformers game

  • @betryke2

    Do you mean Battle Toshin Arena??? Did the old guy have claws and have a weird laugh?.....Big claws and a ponytail? Was there a Ryu wannabe that used a sword and, said "No problem", and did it have a hot chick with a whip? Was there a bratty green haired schoolgirl that says, "I never give up"? Check it out then...on Youtube.

  • This was the worst game it was suckish and to hard

  • Hey bETYKE i think they game your referring to was Destraga

  • I'm gonna say to this game something:

    if they wanna put in Super Baby in his great ape form, they could have at least put in the Golden Oozaru

  • that game is crap

  • the gameplay of recent DB games are better, but music sucks. this game has some fantastic soundtracks that are gonna be in our memories forever

  • i bought this game before and played one round and took it back

  • i had this game today and i unlocked all the characters, this game is so awsome

  • this game is awsome and I played it because its one of those games that can pass the time when it was on my shelf lke burst limit and ultimate battle 22

  • @dbzfanitic are you ok in the noggin?? Cuz i seriously think u got Problems!!!! D:

  • I bought my PS1 just for this game!!! LOL

  • whats the song

  • Hey, pretty good review. I shamefully played this game alot as a kid because of not only the GT logo... but the background music. Although it sucked, I selected SSJ4 Goku JUST to listen to his song. All in all, short and sweet review

    5/5

  • Comment removed

  • this game was awesome! always went to my cousins house to play it

  • whoaa, goku's voice is horrible in this game lol

  • its the japenese voice over

  • I dont like the extra Super Saiyan character because, as I mentioned in the review, I feel they are unnecessary. I don't mind, say, one or two Super Saiyans, but when they compose a good 90% of the roster, I dont think that's a good sign. I think the developers could've easily used some more GT-specific characters, had they put more time into the game.

  • @ImpulseKid86 yeah like baby and general wildo and pan and omega shenron

  • @ImpulseKid86 how do you charge your ki in this game?

  • I'm not sure which game you speak of, but to answer your question about my Final Bout review, I say "good luck with that" because I honestly cant picture more than one person playing this game at a time. I've tried to get friends to play this in the past, and they've always passed on it. Looking back on it, I think it's quite the wise move on their part, but thats just me.

  • it's better than ultimate battle 22

  • Steve Blum voices Goku in this game.

  • I freaking loved this game when i was a Kid,

    Me and my friends always play'd it. We bought it in italy so it was Japanese, so it was a 1000 times better, bring'd alot of great moments ;)

  • my favorite fighting game of all time! alot of memorable moments

  • op of final bout>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all

  • damn were have I been BTW did you ever review there games cuz im beast at tekken hit me back

  • I have no idea why I got minused but anyway were those games before tekken

  • Yes indeed. Dragon Ball games in Japan date as far back as 1986 (with games specifically based on Z starting in about 1989-90, I beleive), while Tekken didn't come into existence until around 1994.

  • @ImpulseKid86 heh heheh tekken.... anyway... DBZ final bout was a very well done game for the PS1 at least. you were right the controls are a bit sluggish but this provided feed back for the more popular games as budokai and others. this DBZ Gt game was a foundation for others to come. i think of this game as merly a beta version of budokai and was rushed to the point to sell only for the fans and was not finished to the fullest extent and was rushed. we would see bandai's full skils later in 02

  • i thoughtbudiki 1 was the first dbz game

  • there was like 10 before that, possibly more.

  • hey:P i have this game 2:P

  • Haha. Mugen is better than that... I'm waiting on DB:Burst Limit 2

  • It ain't coming lol.

  • How is Ultimate Battle 22 worse than this?

  • I personally just didnt like UB22. Much like FB, the controls felt slow and sluggish. I also felt the graphics were worse than FB (the 2D sprites and 3D backgrounds that are primitive by even the PS1's standards just clashed badly).and didnt find the gameplay to be any real fun at all. Not to mention, the PAL version was translated BEYOND poorly (Example, Ginyu was called "Genius"). The only real high point about UB22, IMO, was the music. Besides that, I think its better as a collectors item.

  • Like I said in this review, I thought FB was just slightly better than UB22, but that's not saying much. If you like it, thats fine, each to their own :)

  • i liked this game but i didnt known power struggle

  • I actually enjoyed this game when I was a kid

  • LOL

  • asu yo jugaba esto cuando tenia 5 años jugaba con mi pa y el usaba a goku y me acia la genkidama y siempre le pedi que me enseñara a aserla

  • I used to luv this game.. Wish I could get my hands on it again

  • I had the Bandai America version. Believe it or not they improved it a bit graphically compared to the Japanese version.

    I never got to play the Atari reissue. I heard the Atari version had the dialog re-recorded by the FUNImation cast. Is it true?

  • Can't say for sure, but I believe the Atari version was a straight-up re-release of the Bandai America one.

  • 1:21 sounds like dbgt abridged..o.0 wtf

  • The North American release used an in-house voice cast hired by Bandai, thus why the voices sound so very different than the Funimation cast. Steve Blum apparently provided Goku's voice in the US version of this game.

  • damn this dude sucks at this game baby kicked his ass

  • Well you must of sucked at the game.You can get out of Meteor Attacks & Baby Isn't that hard.Also you didn't even talk about the Special Attacks how you can counter them & challenge there power.

  • i now this game is mad good ppl only hate it cuz they suck at it

  • Yeah I had the Japanese Version.Got It when It came out.Even had to get the PS1 Translator.Kinda weird device.Putting a spring In your PS1 :)

  • lol u must of wanted this game bad lol

  • At the time I did.I ordered 3 games at once.Final Bout,Ultimate 22 & I think the other one was called Legends.

  • kool! yo do u know if u can be other players in this game like gogeta or gotenks

  • No Gogeta but there Is Vegito

  • oh ino about vegito but when look at cheats they say if u beat the game on hard 20 time u unlock gogeta

  • Don't think,but It's been awhile since I played.

  • Thats good. Vegito is awesome, but Gogeta kinda sucked.

  • Gogeta isnt unlockable in this game. I tried back in the day and actually managed to beat the game 20 times on hard, only to get nothing for all my hours of hard work :(

  • 1. Yes, I am aware that you can get out of Meteor smashes, and was attempting to do so various times throughout the fight, only to be hindered by the shitty controls.

    2. Baby CAN be damn hard when considering how insanely damaging his attacks can be. As far as final bosses go, I cant remember the last time a boss took me out in approximately in one or two shots

    3. I didnt talking about counter-attacks, because I didnt feel they were worth mentioning.

  • I hate this game!

  • hmm when goku first talked he sounded like Lynette's husband in desperate housewives.

  • i give tis game -999,999,999,999,999,999,999,9­99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999­,999,999,999/999,999,999,999,9­99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999­,999,999,999,999,999,999

  • i give under 9000!

  • What's with their voices?

  • I remember blockbuster had ONE copy of it in english. And after I took it back someone rented it and never returned it...

    that guy was smarter than me. Lol.

  • i used to love this game. i may re buy it. will it play on ps2

  • Final Bout was a great experience on the PS1 for fans who didn't import the other titles. The combat in the game was really simple and dull if you didn't give it time. It was fun once you learned how to perform the meteor smash or a ki blast power struggle.

    The meteor smashes the computer put you in is something you can easily get out of or counter with your own endless meteor smash (or just end it dramatically with a ki blast).

    I'm not saying it's amazing but it's definitely fun.

  • memories

  • I actually really liked that game when I was a kid.. :/

    Kid Buu FTW

  • same =/

  • what do you expect from a p21 game

  • Honestly, I expected something that could actually be played, instead of a poorly-made piece of shit. I honestly think that as far as PS1 games go, there have been far better games and the old saying "you cant polish a turd" applies perfectly to this.

  • i love DBZ but you're right, this game is shit, i'm talking about the combo, once you get the enemy hitted by combo, you'll win

  • I am a fan of DBZ and even I thought this gamne was horse shit. DBZ games didn't get good until Atari got the license,

  • Whoa! You're wrong. Atari has just out played their role with the games. The games for the PS2 aren't that great. I prefer the older ones. The new ones are just enhanced with glory. The one game that is still considered the best DBZ game is Hyper Dimension and anyone that says that's wrong is a failure at being a DB fan. Hyper Dimension had the best graphics for it's time and better than most games after.

  • You did a horrible review. I'm sorry to say that, but you must just suck at the game if you have those ratings for it. I have no problems with the controls at all. I can execute moves super quick. Just because you found the game difficult doesn't mean it's bad. A true DB/Z/GT fan would look past all that and not give a shit. Of course they're going to have a lot of SS...DUH...It's GT Final bout. Each one has slightly different moves.

  • Cant expect everyone to agree with what I'm doing, lol :) I respect your opinion, and If you can play it so well, then kudos to you. I'd like to kindly point out though that my problem with the controls was not because I thought they difficult, its that they genuinely were difficult. No fighting game should lag as much as this between the input of a button sequence and the execution of an attack. Again, I repsect your opinion, but I'm inclinded to agree with Strawberry1o2.
