The Most Disappointing Dragon Ball Game...

This game is a monsterous disaster. Even if it was rare, I do not understand how anyone could have possible considered paying as much as $100 for this game.

The gameplay mechanics were borrowed from its 2D predecessors; however, the conversion into 3D was horrible. The game moves slow, the graphics are mediocre at best, the difficulty can be overwhelming at times, controls were shoddy, the game had horrible load times considering there were better games that also loaded for that period of time--the only good that I really saw in the game was that it stayed true to the series and featured a good sized cast of characters spanning from the Dragon Ball all the way through GT (But NOT every character and there wasn't much of a STORY per se existent in this game).

Breakdown-

The Good:
-A huge roster of the Dragon Ball Universe warriors
-Retains the original voices from the show
-nice Cutscene

The Bad:
-The Graphics
-The Gameplay
-The Framerate
-The price--especially when the game first went out of print

This really is the holy grail of PSX games, and not because of the game itself

Here's the story of this game. It's 1997, a good year in video game history. 3D games are all the rage, copies of games like Super Mario 64 are flying off the shelves like nuts, and Bandai is looking for a way to cash in on this. They look into games they own the rights to in Japan that they can release in America and make a quick buck, they find Dragon Ball GT Final Bout in their collection and say "Hey, this game looks good, it's 3D and it's a fighter, possibly the next Mortal Kombat, let's put this out there, we'll make a few bucks off it." They produce 10,000 copies of it and the game's off to stores to be purchased by people who don't know what the hell Dragon Ball Z is, because at this point you could only really find DBZ on TV on local stations at like 5 in the morning (which is how it was found by the executives at Cartoon Network).
This game sells over time, and before Cartoon Network starts showing episodes of DBZ this game sells out to people looking for a new fighting game. Once the show debuts on CN and people poop themselves with excitement saying "Hey this show kicks derriere! And I saw a game of this at Toys R Us!" the game is already gone. People scramble to get copies and they've been scrambling ever since, but not so much any more as the DBZ Hay-Day is over. But copies still sell for pretty high, high enough to get a 2004 rerelease of the game.
But everyone knows that the original 1997 release of it is indeed the holy grail of PSX games, and not because of the gameplay (which is pretty bad) but because of the story behind it and it's rarity.

Never should have been made......

First off, you could probably beat the game within an hour. Yes an HOUR! Second, the game has no plot at ALL! Last but not least the bonus characters you unlock are just the people you start out with but in different clothes.

It's nice to try something new...

...even though this is a remake of a game that, at the time, was already seven years old. Even so, Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout was brand new to me until this past week when I first bought it. I had never really been a big DB fan before, even though I had heard of the anime series. Still, the game looked interesting from the screenshots I saw on the back of the case, so I figured, "Why not?"

Indeed, it was a wise choice on my behalf, for though DBGT: FB uses the traditional 2-D fighting format that started the whole fighting game craze back in the early-to-mid 1990s, it nevertheless puts its own unique twist on that format by allowing every character to throw at least four types of energy projectiles: one standard shot, one multi-shot burst, and two super-powerful beam blasts. I also thought the idea of having a limited amount of projectile energy that could be recharged in mid-battle and each character's ability to fly to a different part of the screen were both pretty innovative. Then again, so was the Build-Up mode, which allows the gamer to take his or her favorite DB character and upgrade his or her fighting style to coincide with the player's own fighting method. The Meteor Combo and Demo Projectile Combat systems were also quite fresh, and the graphics, music, and sound effects--"dated" as they may be--fit the overall mood of the game very well. Oh, and how can a game go wrong with at least six to seven different modes of play?

Of course, this title does have its flaws. For instance, a much as I like the characters in DB GT: FB (Cell, Piccolo, Freiza, and Mujin Buu are especially appealing to the imagination.), I must say that the creators could have varied their line-up a bit by including other DB characters (e.g., Krillin and Android 18). After all, how many versions of Goku and/or Trunks does one possibly need--especially since such variations are strictly graphical and not audial or technique-oriented? Additionally, the animation can be a bit choppy at times, and the control takes some getting used to at first--most notably when one wishes to retreat from or rush one's adversary; in this particular case, one must press and hold the L1 or R1 button while moving away from or toward the opponent rather than press away or toward twice on the D-Pad. Also, I know Super Baby, the final boss, is several stories tall, but that still doesn't fully justify the lack of a grappling system for battles between the rest of the fighters, even though the Meteor Combo system may serve as a replacement to such a system. Finally, it would be nice to save any and all unlocked fighters to a memory card, as is the case with most fighting games for the PSX. Unfortunately, one must input a secret code at the title screen every time one plays this game to uncover its hidden fighters (It's a good thing that the code's an easy one, too.).

All in all, Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout isn't a bad title at all, even though it could have been better in some respects, I whole-heartedly advise PSX owners who love fighting games to give this one a try, regardless of whether they have ever heard of the Dragon Ball animated series. Chances are they might learn to appreciate it.

Best of DBZ PS game

I like this edition since the characters look nice and realistic. Compare to the budokai series for PS2, i still prefer the Final Bout series. I would recommend this rather than budokai series. But I certainly wouldnt recommend the previous edition such as DBZ ultimate.

the worst game ever

the controls are horrible
the graphics are OK
the intro is stupid
the voices are really messed up

This game is so cool!!! The American version is being RE-RELEASED!!!!! Buy it while you can! Also, click on the picture above, it will show the cover bigger, and a second screenshot. The second screenshot is actually from DBZ: Legacy of Goku 2.
