  • This was actually the only DBZ game that I LOVED The Big Bang Attack. The other games may have done it abit prettier and looked cooler, but being able to do it the first time in this game was amazing. The feeling of being all powerful like that....wonderful.

  • Reliving My Childhood :D I remember When I Got This !

  • AH the first 13 secounds and i already have a nostalgia boner!

  • 2 for saiyans on drugs

  • I hate how in this game Gohan has red wristbands instead of blue. I prefer Gohan to have blue wristbands ,like on the show.

  • 1:16 GOKU ON DRUGS!!

  • how did you get dbz budokai 1 in english???

  • Idk why, but Goku dying made my day...

  • BEST INTRO SONG EVER!...also this was my first game! i was only 6.. DAMN!

  • BEST INTRO SONG EVER!...also this was my first game!

  • Whoa, talk about good times. I got this game when it FIRST came out. I was a big DBZ fanboy back then. I remember being stuck on beating Frieza when Goku went SS for the first time. I used to always lose and ragequit. Me and my brother would take turns, eventually I beat it. If you were my age around the time B1 came out, you thought these graphics were the SHIT. HD and 360 had not been introduced yet. This is the only game that shows the hole in Goku and Raditz. #Respect.

  • its like raditz has super attacks of the days of the week

  • i miss this game hmmm i hope my ps2 is still alive so i could to replay this

  • Do you see ,little boys? Before this game , most dbz games sucked A LOT.

    Dbz hyper dimension(SNES) is a exception. Budokai1 has great cinematics and Kamehamehas for the time. I prefer tenkaichi series to dimps games, though.

  • @elementalsorcerer113 yeah because when the first tenkaichi game came out it feel like the you really playing a dbz game you fly around and you hit people through the rock and shoot a kamehameha at that same time

  • Hey everyone, if youre interested in Budokai 1 Movesets please visits my channel! Ive already done enmies like Raditz, Nappa, Dodoria, Zarbon and Recoome. Im going in the order of how the enmies appeared in the series and then ill start with all of the good guys. Please come and visit my channel if you can, you wont regret it. =]

  • FUCK Omega

  • @oiawsome99 U mad, bro?

  • @Timeflare123 nope tricked you and if you think your a good editor or have good dbz voice PM me.

  • @oiawsome99 Fuck you

  • @Goku7055 are you blind cause you can clearly see that i was kidding idiot now check my comment that starts with "nope" and then go be a idiot

  • @oiawsome99 Ohh well i feel dumb XD,i thought you were hating on Omega for who know's why

  • MOSOPLOPOKA!!

  • the best and first game i ever played goooooooooooooo DBZ

  • This was my first DBZ game evar, but ever since my ps2 died i play BT2

  • the grapichs and faces sorta look scary...terrible grapichs but i love your reveiws omega2040

  • I used to think this game had the best graphics, lol.

  • @iAMVyt It does have the best graphics, until raging blast 2.

  • @xbon1 I like the graphics of RB1 more.

  • @iAMVyt all of it is preference really, rb2 looks much cleaner/refined/better to me.

  • @xbon1 no it's you two being biased. Of course RB2 will have better graphics IT'S ON PS3 AND 360 FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!

  • @227ujo lmfao, you have to admit the graphics in budokai 1 are pretty damn close to the anime since it's not full 3d, and all that.

  • i dont get why they took out kamis lookout in budokai 2 and 3

  • i dont get why they took kamis lookout in budokai 2 and 3

  • ta mejor a huevo dbz budokai tenkaichi

  • Has anyone else experienced the problem where all the character pics on the character selection screen have gone. I liked those pics-_-

  • I kick ass in DBZ Legends!

  • Beat everybody in Budokai 1 & Budokai 3

  • This game is cheap as hell now, so one more for the collection. :)

  • Does anyone notice the PS2 version shows the Z symbol after a cutscene and the gamecube version doesn't?

  • We need a DBZ game with the cutscenes from Budokai 1, Gameplay of Budokai 3, A great selection similar to Budokai 3 and ummmm i feel like im missing something

  • @587DeathKing Graphics.

  • wait...if this was made before dbz finished then how did dragon ball final bout have gt characters if it was on ps1

  • Comment removed

  • @shadowandluigifan That's because they didn't stop making Dbz games for the Ps1 even after making the Ps2 versions.

  • @vault3000master Do all Dragon Ball games for PS2 have the original Japanese audio with Eng caption/subs?

  • @FilMarck I know most do for sure, can't remember if the first 2 Budokai's have them. I would imagine so though.

  • @vault3000master Thanks.

    I'm thinking about buying this game, Budokai 1 and Budokai Tenkaichi 1, both at the same time, do you think it's totally worth it?

    Mainly, it's just to add for my Dragon Ball Collection.

  • @FilMarck I honestly don't think T1 is worth it, just because T3 makes it look pathetic, but if it's for adding to your collection, go for it. I'm sure both are really cheap, so you won't spend much on them.

  • @vault3000master Tenkaichi 1 has better Graphic Quality than any other Tenkaichi. And Gogeta SSJ4 has the awesome "Aura with Stars" near him, he lacks in other games.

  • @ichigo Graphics in T3 are sharper, that's what makes it better than T1. In T1 the models weren't outlined, which made the character models look blurry. His aura would have been nice to have in T3 for sure. They tend to add good features in the games, and then they remove them for no apparent reason in the games beyond. Not sure if they have a motive for that.

  • @vault3000master Nah, no way T3 had better graphic than T1. The Stages looked better, Namek had sound of the flowing water other Tenkaichi games lacked. The Mountains stage where Goku fought Vegeta had awesome Sand that yet again other Tenkaichi games lacked.

  • @ichigo Your forgetting that more effort was incorporated into the character models and destructible's. It's not hard to compare that and realize it as the truth. Also, having extra added effects is unnecessary sometimes. Sure it's nice to have the little extras, but sometimes having more is less.

    Don't get me wrong, i'm not intending to start an argument here, i'm just implying that T3's graphics are more refined and have a better shade of color and contrast to it.

  • wow i never knew there was an english dub of budokai 1 the version i got in australia was all in jap. i got ripped off lol

  • now that i think about it. budokia 1 didn't have too bad of graphics. the other games just had better graphics and gameplay.

  • Actutly you can get Dragon Balls through the story mode

  • @friezler how? I only know that you have to get in/out popo's shop a lot of times to get them.

  • @Alaska1925 randomly like any other capsules, but really rare. heppent only once after kicking Raditz's ass.

    I only play Budokai 1 for the nostalgic

  • @friezler so, the popo's shop way is faster, isn't it? even if you have to buy the seven dragonballs (48.000 zeni) for 21 times to get all the breakthroughs (48.000 x 21... too much -_-) I got only 2 breakthroughs until now, but this really makes you tired, and bored.

  • @Alaska1925 You can find a Save Game on GameFaqs.

  • @gorance2000 thanks, but I want to do this by my own, it would be too easy and fast to download a save game.

  • @Alaska1925 Ok,well i suggest Replaying the Saiyan Saga 5 Times like i did and Finishing the Tourney with Cell.

  • @gorance2000 why replaying it 5 times? and I already finished all the tournaments in the game, money will not be a problem winning some tournaments. but why should I replay the saiyan saga?

  • @Alaska1925 Getting Items to use in the Tournament Mode to get Money because when Playing a Mission in a Saga you get Free Items.

  • @gorance2000 I know you get free items when playing history mode, but I already have the most importants of them: virus desease and antidote. I put them on kid gohan and I won easily the tournament on advanced, so don't worry, I know how to make money :)

  • @Alaska1925 Ok,and it took me 3 Months to get all the Breakthroughs for All Characters.

  • @gorance2000 o.O ok, maybe it'll take me the same to get all of them, but I have time, and also more games, so I am not worried :)

  • I bought this game just 2 months ago, making me the happiest guy on the earth!!!

    I love the graphics, the cutscenes, the game system, almost everything (leaving apart popo's shop -_-')

    people, if you like dbz, buy this game!!! ok, it was made in 2002, so what? I'm impressed because this is really a good game for those years.

  • Baby Gohan is fricking massive in this game.

  • at 4;12 I thought Vegeta said "SHIT THIS!'

  • suban allah nice video

  • @hairtriggerkid2 Well B2 and Sagas came out for GCN, didn't they?

  • @hairtriggerkid2 They released DBZ B2 for it a few years after it came out.

  • Why are a Saiyans green when SS ? And why always have Black-hair ? (Apart from Trunks and Bulla)

  • @iAmSasuke1 I don't understand your comment. When Saiyans, like goku, transform to super saiyan, their hair color becomes yellow (or gold if you prefer). This is true for the anime and for all the games including Budokai 1.

  • @snakeisninja I mean't why do you they have green eyes when SS ? Sorry... 

  • @iAmSasuke1 Oh, you mean why does a Saiyan's eye color become green when they transform into a super saiyan. idk

  • @snakeisninja Maybe because of the Legend or some-thing

  • @iAmSasuke1 what legend?

  • @snakeisninja The Super Saiyan Legend, what else ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 When did that legend mention green eyes (or even gold hair)? The characters who mentioned it just said every 1000 years a Saiyan reaches a state of power beyond any warrior in the universe. Even Vegeta didn't know what it would look like, and multiple times falsely believed that he, Goku, and even Gohan had become one.

  • @snakeisninja So ?

  • Are the DBZ Budokai games in Ocean Dub as well ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 nope :(

  • this game was boring, but the music was good, but not great 

  • is this the first dbz game ever made

  • @TheLostplanet979 no... there are others that came before this one...

  • @TheLostplanet979 tons of games were before this one.

  • @TheLostplanet979 this was the first for ps2, but before it were made a lot of other games, for ps1, gamecube, gameboy, etc.

  • @Alaska1925 ohhhhhhhh i see says the blind man

  • @TheLostplanet979 no problem ;)

  • I don't know the button to power up for this game, I have it on the gamecube.

  • @galacticheroman Playing too much BT3 & RB? You just hold the guard button down and double tap the back button but be sure to keep it down the second time you press it. Hope I helped =)

  • I thought Kamehameha was blue ?

  • @iAmSasuke1 Its yellow too because Gohan in the Buu saga used it agianst Majin Buu when he was stll in that giant shell. But thats the only time I think lol.

  • @hairtriggerkid2 actually budokai 2 is on the gamecube

  • why I have a different opening? it's because I have the european version?

  • It scares me when I remember the amount of time I wasted on the shop in this game... it made me hate Mr. Popo and his flying fuckin' carpet.

  • @dagrimmreepa OH GAWD THAT PISSED ME OFF SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH

  • you missed a few things that the sequels are lacking

  • 4:06 dodoria jumped out of the way -__-

  • @drawertogether He did but dont forget about the explosion when the kamehameha lands. ;) That what really hurts them.

  • poor dodoria

  • my first ps2 game even though it was only 3 years ago.

  • you also forgot to mention the only budokai game with the lookout tower

  • you said dimps only made 4 games. is that according to the desc. in the begining?

    just asking better safe than sorry right?

  • Comment removed

  • i never got y i n this game every place u fought had its own like design or watever u call but the later games use the same areanas over and over again

  • @hairtriggerkid2 DON'T FORGET SAGAS AND B2

  • Yea the problem you talk about wasnt really major at the time it came out. With all these newer games around they look down on Budokai 1 and it pretty unfair how they treat it. Budokai 1 is still fun and perfect in my eyes despite what you and others may think about it. Its not all about the cutscenes in Budokai 1. =P

  • I liked this game i enjoyed playing it. I didnt think this game had any problems when it first came out

  • SCREW GAMECUBE IT CAME OUT FIRST IN PS2 AND IT HAS BETTER CONTROLS AND GRAPHICS

  • @mugen11120 Dude, calm down. I'm gonna draw you ca comparison real quick.The PS2 had been around for a long time. It took too damn long to improve its graphics. The Dreamcast which lasted about half as long, looked better. Infact. the reason Sa2/Sa1 wasn't released for the PS2 was because it couldn't render it's graphics.

  • I remember getting this for the gamecube and staying up all night to finish it, the final fight with Cell was a pain but rewarding when I finally beat him in the early hours of the morning.

    ah the memories...

  • @hairtriggerkid2 I think sagas did.

  • I wonder, though...I need to find comparison videos of PS2 vs. GC on the first two Budokai games; the GC version of Budokai 1 had extra cel-shading, but I don't remember seeing it...

    Oh well, nice retrospective review of this game.

  • long live dbz

  • The only I have to say about DBZ Budokai 1 cut scenes is way better than any other DBZ game created. And Budokai 1 has that dramatic feeling. DBZ BT3, DBZ Raging Blast, Etc can not compare it's cut scenes with Budokai 1. I always loved the "original"

  • LOL i always wondered why raditz named his moves after a day of the week or weekend

  • @fusedpower Well that's changed in Raging blast 2

  • I love how there's a rainbow behind Piccolo as he's killing Raditz and Goku

  • super dbz ?

  • @JBNARUTOAKAJMONEY12 no dbz budokai 1

  • @animegamer123100 no im asking if he will do super dbz

  • @JBNARUTOAKAJMONEY12 oh idk if he did that one

  • lol to be honest.. on the first game its realese was in 2002... probabby the best grapic best game of 2002

  • @AverageHp I know right? Yet now people complain about how it looks all because it has no cell shades like the rest. Thats retarded.. I still love everything about Budokai 1 and who cares who doesnt think the same way I do.

  • Sorry Omega but ill have to disagree with some of your opinions. I actually liked the graphics the way they it, it was much more color, realistic looking and it wasnt blocky like the rest after it. (cell shades are kinda boring me now) The fighting is still unique in its own way and I see it more than just a game that had best cutscenes and related to the anime but hey, just an opinion.. >.>

  • @Foxdude89 yeah and it has the best storys.. and easy to understand the game..

  • @AverageHp Yep, you can say that again. =J

  • this game right here is when i started to like dragon ball z games and the show

  • thumbs up for being the only dbz game that actually shows blood!!!

  • Saturday Crush!

  • you are wrong dbz sagas is a awesome game im going to get it on october,2,2010

  • @xoDamnImGoodxo

    Its shitty, you are wasting your money. I had it for like 3 years.

  • YOU CAMPARE IT TO BURST LIMIT

  • jajajaj la cara de cell en 5:42 lol

  • Ah yeah I remember Raditz's attacks being named after days and weeks. . .

  • poor Dodoria :(

  • the only thing that makes b1 a good game are the cutscenes 

  • also, apparently you dont like Dodoria much do ya?

  • why didnt Zarbon, Dodoria, or 19 appear in future games?

  • This game is in my closet. Haven't played it in years, but I beat it x3!

  • epic pwnage

  • This was my 1st DBZ game ;)

  • This game is awesome!

  • Nostalgic man. This game made Sayiaman look good. You know there's a problem when that happens. Budokai's series makes the Tenkaichi series look like shit.

  • Cell Was So Fucking Hard!

  • Holy crap I remember playing this when I was like 7!

    haha it's sitting on my game shelf just screaming "Play me!"

    You have to say, that for it's time of release it was pretty damn good.

  • forgot to mention this is the only budokai game that has the lookout tower

  • this dbz game had the best cutscenes

  • I had Budokai, before i had a memory card, so i could never customize, or keep progress, so i never fully beat the game. also me and my friends always made fun of the graphics.

  • UR RETARDED THESE GAMES ARE AWSOME

  • It was at least good for their first attempt. (for me at least) It holds a certain nostalgia factor. =)

  • @hairtriggerkid2 They released B1, B2, and Sagas for the Gamecube. after that, the only ones that were on the PS2 other than B1, B2, and Sagas, was B3, Infinite World, and The BT series, even though the BT series was also on the Wii.

  • WDF theres a version of krillin being absorbed o.O

  • What happened to the Budokai 3 retrospective?

  • @immortalfrieza I think the company got mad at him displaying vids of it or something stupid.

  • since when is a kamehameha yellow

  • did u notice that dodoria calls gohan a whore

  • yes cell you are perfect PERFECTLY ANOYING!!!

  • Why do you keep useing dadoria as a punching bag!

  • Its wierd seing this game in english after playing the japanese/english sub version for so long, still one of my all time fav dbz games :)

  • the only game where each char has a alternate costume and no colour swaps

  • i use to have this game

  • This game was great, it actually for once seemed like the anime rather than the later releases which was just a fighting game, And for it being released in "2002" obviously the graphics wouldn't be that good ect..

  • Well i disagree... you said this game iis the only one that doesnt cover the game from start to finish... Burst limit didnt cover up to majin buu either so...

  • @PhEnoMeNaL2BaD Are you serious? I never played anything pass DBZ BT3. They all look suckish after that... well, BT3 also sucked big time...

  • @TheWayToTheDawnVIII Lol yeah im very serious BT3 was a great game to me except for the lag and RB is ok...

  • @PhEnoMeNaL2BaD BT3 was okay, I just don't like how short the story mode is and how it doesn't even come close to how detailed B1 was.

  • @TheWayToTheDawnVIII Yeah they could have fixed that it was so short not explaing the inportant like how krillin vs cell and vegeta vs frieza little stuff like that.. u have both games??
