    5 because, for me, it has a very high nostalgic factor, but should definetly be less. Soundtrack is cool and the graphics is nice, keeping in mind that in Japan this came out in 1993.
    The gameplay is waaay too flawed

    Not the best fighter on the system but it's still a solid game for Dragon Ball Z fans. If you own the original Playstation and you can find it going cheap then it might be worth a pick up.

    No me pareció tan malo, pero tampoco tan bueno, tenia unos escenarios horribles, los modelos de los personajes era aceptables.

  1. Outdated graphics, an unfriendly (but ultimately bearable) control scheme and a shockingly bad (i.e. incomplete) localization make Ultimate Battle 22 the lesser alternative to “Budokai."

    The control is stiff and imprecise; and the number of gameplay modes is pathetic. [June 2003, p.105]
  3. I have seen NES games that look better than this game.
