DBZB1 (DragonBall Z Budokai 1): All Cutscenes and What If Stories. {DBOFRIEND} [HD] 

This game has the best cutscenes out off all the dbz games. Makes me feel like I'm watching the show.

Budokai 1 captured more of the anime than any other dbz game

The music, voice acting, the drama, and the pace was done immaculately in this game. It's a really good way to get into the actual series.

I've never realize how good these cut-scenes for a PS2 game. It really captures the DBZ universe

Actually playing this and experiencing the story first hand when the game came out was a whole different feeling.

This game might have the most accurate cut scenes for any dragon ball z game... And it came out almost 15 years ago

Now that I think about it. For a PS2 DBZ game, this was the most graphic and narrative for me. They really went in with the transformations and the wounds. I'm impressed.

I love that authentic DBZ dub feel these old Budokai games have. -Cool music -That classic raspy Vegeta and Piccolo voice delivery from Chris Sabat -Stephanie Nadolny, Linda Young and more

"Just wait until you get a taste... of the legendary wolf fang's fist" Hoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwl That just made yamcaha 70% cooler

31:04 "IT'S OVERRR FRIIIIEEEEZAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!"

Why don't they make cutscenes like this in the games anymore? This game's cutscenes even had models for King Kai and even showed Cell throwing up 18 and reverting back to his Semi-Perfect Form before turning on his bomb. Other games don't even show that, they're usually just character portraits with text or it happens off-screen.

So glad this was the first DBZ game that introduced me to the show

Almost 2 decades later and I’m still in love with this game. The cutscenes and music still get me to this day!

Nostalgia overloads

1:08:10 - 1:08:12 that fight was probably real timing

I really played this as a kid. Seeing how faithful the cutscenes were to the original uncut anime was amazing.

why is this the only DBZ Game that has the most acurate story over any other DBZ games!!!??

I like how the happy "Previously on..." music played over Yamcha's death.

This game had the best cutscenes in any dragon ball game without a doubt and can’t no one say otherwise

Seriously, for a game released in 2003, the cutscenes are amazing!

The voice actors were so young and so enthusiastic to match! Literally the only game I can remember where the lip sync was 100%. The music was insanely good especially during the Frieza fight. They made these scenes so dynamic too never a dull moment! So damn graphic with blood and gore too which is a damn shame they don’t do this anymore. And the final dessert is having “what if” scenario’s. Seeing Frieza/Cell have their victory is so surreal and hilarious in a twisted way with how they act.

This series had the absolute best fucking music.

I've seen a lot of people in the comments over the years saying the same thing as what I'm about to ands its nice to know that I'm not alone. Dragon Ball Z Budokai on PS2 was my first full-on exposure to DBZ. I grew up knowing about it but I'd only ever heard about the plot and characters from friends. A lot of guys I knew were obsessed with it and it's all they would talk about. I honestly believe this is one of the best DBZ Games ever made if for no other reason than the fact of the cutscenes . They really and truly represented the story of DBZ through the medium of video games. Most DBZ games now have the cutscenes as the characters just standing there with their mouths flapping and the dialogue not matching at all. The cutscenes in this game essentially turned DBZ Budokai into a cinematic experience. You got to understand the plot and watch the characters play out scenes from the series in full 3d with good effects considering the era and even now... Though I was definitely confused by the yellow Kamehameha in the beginning though 😅. If we could get a DBZ Game with the Game play of DBZBT3, The graphics of Raging Blast 2 and the Storytelling of DBZ Budokai, I think we'd have the perfect DBZ Game.

30:24-30:36 still sends chills down my spine till this day

These are some crazy good cutscenes for such an old game

43:47 BRUH LOOK AT THE HAIR MOVEMENT 😍

"You're a chillllllld!" Says the...younger android.

Man I miss when games weren't lazy copy paste. This is still my favorite dragonball z game

I think this is my true first db(z) experience. I watched a lot of the anime in random order as a baby. But this game introduced me to the lore and characters. This was the game that told me the story that I'd see repeat itself in all games following. This game's music sticks with me too.

THE Dragon Ball Z game, personally... heard the HD Remake was trash, though. Oh well, I prefer this one. Original music, characters, and the nostalgia is perfect when I play it on weekends and summer (summer especially) at night and all night. :) Anyone agree?

Man the music for this game will always be a banger

Man im 21 now and this brings back so many memories. This was my first ever DBZ Game. My brother and i played this so much back in the day on the ps2.

The other dragin ball z games are missing this. Like i love how they took their time making these cut scenes

RIP Akira Toriyama!

Out of the *many* DragonBall/DragonBall Z games I've played, the lines used in "Budokai" I remember more-so than any other, to the point I can actually quote (most of) them. :P

Budokai is the best game because it captured the anime as a theatrical film, plus the score is incredible

Always loved seeing scouter Vegeta as a Super Saiyan.

8:49 Not gonna lie. At first it kinda looked like a close up of Mr. Popo's face.

59:36 i never realized how funny that face was until now XD

When you're dying but still need to text bae 13:02

31:06 Damn....That Feeling...

53:48 "You're a CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILD!! I won't be beaten by some kid!!" 7 year old me, about to perfect this man next round: Yes. I am. And we'll see about that. :)

53:40 is my favorite cutscene for some reason.

53:49 YOU'RE A CHILD

I love how Gohan was made to be the focus point all the way through to the Cell saga

Goku Arrives 8:59 Goku appears on Namek 23:12 Goku meets Frieza 28:05 Goku goes Super Saiyan 30:16 Vegeta goes Super Saiyan 37:45 Vegeta confronts Cell 44:55

Love how the Cell absorbing Krillin scenario was just a bad dream Cell was having waiting at the Cell games

Every battle is easy except the final battle vs Cell. Your power drains so fast than he just wrecks you.

I'll settle for 480i if it means I get to keep the original music. I'm so glad I own all the original budokais.

This game was my introduction to Dragon Ball Z

The cutscenes and music made this one of the most authentic DBZ games ever made. Classic.

if this game had every character budokai t3 had and the story modes and movies were all shown in cutscenes? OMG

wtf the cutscenes are way cooler in this game then in DBZ boudikai tenchaichi 3

I truly loved this game. Forgot how many hours I put into this when I was a kid and first got my PS2. The only thing that bothered me about this game was the Kamehameha. I found it strange the Cell's Kamehameha was blue but Goku's and Gohan's was a light tan color. Otherwise loved the game. This and Budokai 3 were great.

53:49 When she finds out you're two days younger than her.

Here goes my childhood everything on this it's just perfect, the animation, the music is beautiful. I used to play Dragon Ball Z: Budokai in the game cube. This game it's just an artwork

this game represents HOW much GREATER dbz would be more so THAN IT ALREADY IS had they had bruce falconer music WITH THE VOICE ACTORS FROM DBZ KAI as people claim the voice acting is better i MEAN REALLY LISTEN TO THE MUSIC IT MADE THIS GAME!!!

"You can't send Yamcha to fight me by himself, it's just not fair" The way his voice cracked made me chuckle.

Mm yeah, the original music

The cutscenes in this game are absolutely astonishing for the time

Nappa sounds like he's from Boston lol

10:08 Nappa's damaged voice in this cutscene makes him sound so much more dumb than he is that it's hilarious lmao.

The graphics and cutscenes for this game were unreal when this came out, there was nothing else like it. The character acting in the cutscenes is still better than modern Dragonball games

31:05 still gives me goosebumps

I was 11 when I first played this in 2011 Now I’m 22 Time flies

Looking back at it, Dragon Ball Z Kakorot adds details in areas that needed detail then takes out in others. I'll stick to Budokai 1 at this point.

Favorite, and most epic part: 33:22 "YOU FOOOOOOOOOOOOLL!!!!!!!!

Goddammit XD now thats stuckin my head hahahahhahahahhahahhahahhahahahahhahahaha

I played this game so much I can recite anyone one of these cutscenes from memory

You missed a cutscene between King Kai warning Goku about Frieza, and Goku praising himself on his training. And that cutscene is a personal favorite of mine too.

They can show the holes in Raditz and Goku's chest here, but not in recent games?

I wish they made a dbz game like this today, with cut scenes like this, but add the realistic graphics and moves from budokai 3 and the 3D fighting from Tenkaitchi. That would be the perfect game

TIME TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!

1:05:47 and frieza lived happily ever after.

Transformations in this game were awesome

The music on 56:10 always let me know to prepare myself for hell

I know I'm not the only one that looses it when Goku says *_"bye :)"_* at the end...

17:54 Vegeta just looked at the camera when he was called hot headed.😂

The best story mode of all DBZ games period.

4:04 when you bust

i thought it was really cool how budokai 1 had real cutscenes instead of just speech bubbles

This game told the story the best imo...thats why it was so good

Why didn't they do this for Budokai 3? Wasted potential.

Shit gets real @ 31:05

8:09 piccolo’s death is the saddest cutscene.

I remember when I was about 5 or so like 13 years ago and I couldn’t get past beating frieza as a super saiyan, good memories

Watching this as a kid was cool, but scary at the same time. Kind of uncanny with the movement

Why does this game STILL, seriously STILL have the best story retelling and music of any future game

Notice how the game acknowledges vegeta one of the main reasons for cells defeat

Crazy how this game is better than DBZ Kakarotto

this game was the first 3d dragonballz game ever made and from this game on all the others where made in 2D Well Raging Blast series was pretty close

The camera work in the goku vs frieza cutscenes really sell hype even better than the anime did

My first dbz experience

I got this game when I was about 6.It doesn't work anymore, but man do I WISH IT DID! This introduced me to DBZ, and it was so much fun!

Favorite DBZ game of all time.

better cutscenes than infinite world

Here I am hoping for a game that covers all of Dragon Ball, then all of Z, _maybe_ GT or Super

Man these were the good days

Why couldn't NEW DBZ Games can have a Storyline like this?!?!? With a Nowadays animation

ah the Good old times when the original budokai had Gore
