This game is so bad it puts pineapple on pizza. Fun fact the name Ultimate Tenkaichi was chosen in a poll of potential names. This game was never meant to be connected to the Tenkaichi series
@@josharrow1111 naw back when the game came out it was the only dbz game I had when I got it it was shitty sure but them ult and super animations be 🥵 at least to me back then I like the boss fights too and that was the first game you could actually customize ur own character (at least that Ik at the time) now n days the game was just a good idea minus the gameplay but back when I was a kido it was godly to me 😂
To be honest, I always kinda considered the Tenkaichi and Raging Blast to be the same series. They cut out a few characters to focus on updating the graphics, but the gameplay was extremely close.
Nah I disagree that it's one of the better looking dbz games out because they try to go for that realistic angle and the colors were muted af but I do agree that the gameplay is absolute shite.
@dawnstartheanimeman At the time it looked pretty good BUT I agree because it ages poorly and the colors do suck. Like I always absolutely hated how Super Saiyan hair had such a weird tone in this game like a highlighter greenish yellow color.
This game came out right when I was about 13 years old, and at the time i had only ever played Raging Blast 2. My cousin and I had some fun with it for sure and probably put the most time into the hero mode because honestly that is the best part of the game. Even if it is kinda lackluster. The pure definition of eye candy the video game!
I remember raging blast 2, there really was no story mode, just selecting characters in the game, and battling against opponents they fought in the anime, and at times had challenges to do in order to officially won and move up a level, I spent weeks trying to complete the entire hero mode to unlock every single characters, and was very proud of myself when I finally unlocked hatchihyack
@@patrickzalatoris3206 What Raging blast 2 lacked in a proper story mode, made up for in its game play. If it wasn't for that game I don't think I'd been a fan. It was just cool to see all these characters I had never seen before and do these really cool moves. Then I watched the anime and it was set in stone. Unlocking every character was a nightmare for sure but it was rewarding in the send.
I remember being so excited for this game thinking it'll be the best thing in the world. I went to the midnight release at Gamestop even though I had school the next day (was still in high school at the time). Everyone else was there for Battlefield 3, but I was the only dumb ass there for Ultimate Tenkaichi. Got home, put it into the PS3, waited for it to install, and told all my friends who were still awake I got the game and how hype I was to play it. It finished and I immediately went into a vs match to see how much better the combat was... My heart sank. As absolutely pathetic as it sounds, I literally cried lol. I turned off the PS3 and went to bed. Next day at school my friends asked me how the game was and I had to tell them it was trash.. I was so upset lol
I remember playing this on my cousin's Xbox 360. He just bought the game, and we were eager to try it, so we put the game on, went in 1v1 and...we weren't undrestanding why even if we weren't pushing buttons the game still worked. It really is just a game of quick time events
I borrowed this game from a friend. Played it a lot because it was my only DBZ game at the time until I got Budokai 1 and 3 on the PS2. I was planning on giving it back, but my friend never brought it up. So I kinda forgot about it as it racked up dust. He moved away about half a year later suddenly without mentioning until his last day at school. He never asked for the game back, and I didn't even realize I still had it for like 3 months... I think that sums up it's value.
Great video as always. I remember loving this game as a kid. My brothers and I were addicted to Hero mode and were always waiting to get our turn to play. I think the idea of making our own character itself at the time was enough to have us enjoy it
I got a genuinely "what the fuck were they thinking?" back in the day of its release. Funny thing that I would have a lot of that same reaction with the current state of gaming nowadays
I sunk HOURS into the RB and Budokai games when I was a kid. When this game got announced and I saw the preview images for it, I was hyped beyond belief. I told my best friend at the time that he HAD to pick it up before I even owned it After 100% it, I told him that I regretted buying it. UT is to this day one of the most disappointing games Ive ever played. Thank God XV and beyond turned out mostly decent
0:02 Tbf The Japanese name is Ultimate Blast, so it's more of a Ultimate culmination of the Raging Blast series specifically, which made sense as the graphic feels more like Raging Blast. But yeah, this game sucks, who in the right mind change the gameplay into this. The QTE in this game just irresponsive, as I'm stuck at Great Ape Vegeta's fight because I can't pass the QTE there. If all they do is retaining the gamplay engine of Raging Blast 2, it would have make into another decent DB game. This game is the start of the low point DB games has hit, until Xenoverse revived the DB games. I always thought that at the very least, if they released the 3DS port of DB Heroes into the West, the DB video games wouldn't have suffered there as tha series was what revived the DB franchise as it brings more original contents.
also. You can somewhat mix the heavy and light attacks once you start the combo after selecting the green and purple, by pressing up, down, forward, and back button. And then, you can switch the combo attack.
While this game does suck, it does have some good from it. It's still one of the best looking Dragon Ball games and the first English Dragon Ball game that lets you create a character and customize it. To me, if it wasn't for this game, we probably wouldn't have had Xenoverse or wouldn't have been the same. Trust me, I put myself through the pain of not only beating the game, but getting everything, including the trophies
And back at it again. I never got around to playing this one but I was turned off at the time since I was buried in Raging Blast and its sequel as well as Tenkaichi 3, but I'm so glad I didn't play this one. Also, this made my day getting that notification that you had a new video out❤
This was the first game I ever returned to a store. I made the mistake of playing it on the hardest available difficulty. At some point the whole rock-paper-scissors game kept going in the A.I.'s favor and I quit. The next day went back to GameStop and returned it. I got a better game. 😀
Ultimate Tenkaichi was the first big disappointment of my life. I really wanted to play with my DBZ OC... by the time Xenoverse came out I didn't care anymore.
I remember my friend had this game, and I'd always call it the dbz version of rock, paper, scissors 😅 This game literally used the Budokai 3 dragon rush as its core gameplay mechanic, like who the hell thought that would be a good idea for a tenkaichi game?! 😅 Even the first game in the BT series is more enjoyable than this because it offers more freedom to the player in a fight. Hell, that was literally one of the main selling points of the Budokai Tenkaichi series, to be a dbz simulation that allows the player to have DragonBallz style fights in a 3d environment. This game is way too restrictive for the series that it's meant to be a part of. Even the first Budokai Tenkaichi is not this restrictive, and that's not a good look for a game with "Ultimate" in its title. I expected it to keep the gameplay from the previous games in the series and add on to it. Instead, it took several steps back 😑
As a top RB1 player, and the #1 competitive for Raging Blast 2 and as a pretty good BT3 player... All I have to say regarding "Ulttimate Tenkaichi" is just what Goku once said: "ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS"
I see why because of the fighting but I love it for the details in the moves energy attacks, the mini games in story, and having the best looking animated cutscenes of dbz of all time so far and my favorite finally flying nimbus in open world (first game),even though it's a map.
Super has destroyed DBs legacy with its blatant disregard and contradictions of the source material. It may have saved your childhood, but ruined mine.
It sucks because i was excited to buy a game with my money as a kid and this game disappointed me after playing Budokai & Budokai Tenkaichi But I still played it and cherished it because i was a kid who loved to play the games I had. It had so many cool features like the new hero mode, cool graphics, boss fights, cutscenes and a 🔥 soundtrack (which is saying something because all DBZ soundtracks are great). It’s gotta a lot of polish on the outside but the meat of the game sucks.
Bought this when it came out, beat it and hated almost everything about it. Years later, I thought I was being too harsh so I bought it again and hated it more. Not as bad as sagas but definitely one of the worst dbz console games
I never finished Hero Mode. Didn't matter what I tried, Red Shenron was unbeatable. I payed full price for this shit back in the day. Today I would never EVER buy a game full price again. And never on release. The reanimated cutscenes were neat though.
My favorite dragon Ball Z game no cap love that we got our creative character (granted it can only be a male Saiyan) it was the first dragon Ball Z game I played that had its original story for your character it's has its problem I can't speak on the dragon Rush for Budokai 2 an 3 never played them had friends that played them I was more of a Tenkaichi, raging blast, xenoverse guy. Glad you got to this one
I remember voting for the Tenkaichi title because they couldn't come up with a new title and I guess I played myself lmao I REALLY love the graphics tho like AHHH
The game itself is bad because the gameplay relies mostly/heavily on Rock Scissors Paper fighting style approach, which it isn't very appealing for many reasons... the fighting factor in this DBZ game it can become very repetitive and boring, that's why many DBZ fans don't like this game in my opinion... 🤷🏻♂️✌️
I remember i played one round against my friend, lost, and just put the controller down It felt like i was just watching cinematics throughout the match
Idk why people take up interest in fighting games where you only need one button. The original Budokai series needs to come back. It has a good middle ground on casual and in depth gameplay
This game was a guilty pleasure for me, i spent countless hours on it back in the day. I can acknowledge that the game gets repetitive real fast and shouldn't even be considered a Tenkaichi game
Ah the old rock paper scissors game that had better graphics than it ought to have had since it sucked so much. I wish modern dbz games would destroy the environment with your super attacks like this game. I was helping my friend play through hero mode and when he got to baby I was telling him how to fight him and felt like I was forgetting something "by the way he shoots lasers" "'what?!" He shot a laser right as I said that and my friend dodged it just in time. Another great video. Good comedy (I don't hate the way you look). Great editing and a excellent and entertaining retrospective for the most boring dbz game.
U GOTTA do a "ranking the games" video or videoS for all of your childhood faves. There ya go. Free idea for more content. Can't say i never gave ya nothin.....love these videos 🤷🏾♂️
I have fond memories of this game actually. Primarily from the Hero Mode as the customization had a lot going for it if you went for completion. You could change your aura and Ki colors, your aura effects (I had flames) and even your own theme music! The music would change depending on the situation your character was in. Are you winning? Losing? Using your Burst mode or whatever? That made me hype back in the day. What was even more fun to me was that transforming into a Super Saiyan also changed your moveset and theme music too! In base form, I used a ton of Kamehamehas but when I turned Super Saiyan, I picked the most brutal cutscene moves I could find to give off that "I'm seriously mad now" feel. I had the theme music reflect that as well. Personally, I will not recommend this game to anyone because it IS boring for most. I had my fun because I learned how to cheese the CPU by taking advantage of how dumb and predictable it was. Not only that but certain skills and fighting styles opened up infinite combos. I did it to skip the grinding. Which there is a LOT of. My favorite memory is while I grinding and training under Janemba, my friend, another DBZ fan, was watching me play and he questioned what I was doing. I told him "I'm training under Janemba to learn his moves." He said it just looked like I was kicking his ass for no reason and that he was screaming at me to stop. We laughed as I continued to rip Janemba a new one until my PS3 died mid battle. I was devastated until my friend told me "He told you to stop, bro." We laughed and I went to get my console fixed. Bad game, good memories.
I was in grade 12 when this game came out. My sis bought it for me bc she knew I loved the ps2 games and saw it had ‘Tenkaichi’ in the name. Little did she know this game sucked lol but honestly I didn’t mind the character models. Thought they looked pretty cool in motion.
I played this game a lot as a kid was very excited for a dbz game with a character creator. I enjoyed it for the most part, but after I beat it I dropped it for Raging blast 2 lmao
I'm going to be that person but this game, it's not as trash as the community makes it out to be. I mean it's bad but like I feel like everyone is over exaggerating just a tiny bit
When you have a system relying on guessing a coin toss, it can make or break things wayyy wayyy too often. Imagine getting a nice combo only for the other person to merk you and not being able to get out because you can never guess correctly. At least in Tenkaichi and RB, it’s skill with timing. Press the block button at specific times to vanish out of a combo. This game, nah! Guess the coin toss 😔 I do think a lot of love did go into the making of this game because there are a lot of good qualities bro. Music, graphics, custom character creation, flying over the map, so much is amazing but not the combat 🥺
@@dalemau5 honestly think you're right though I still stand by what I said, sometimes I can get on the game and just enjoy the hell out of it because I can turn my brain off and it's just super fucking simple but I do agree with everything that you said I think just for my taste and what I go for sometimes, this is ok for me.
It technically isnt 50/50 due to effects of smash and rush combos, depending on the situation you can predict what the opponent does, but these effects essentially make the game so much lamer
Funnily enough, Ultimate Tenkaichi is not considered part of the Tenkaichi series. The game only has the name due to winning a poll, but the Japanese name being "Ultimate Blast". The Tenkaichi games are called "Sparking" in Japan, so yeah.
Idk who told you that, But the game was counted whenever the sneak peek trailer was announced on stage, like for real look it up, the presenter counts ultimate Tenkaichi. It's disappointing
I liked this game but of course rb3 would of been a dream come true and should of happened back then. I was playing rb2 last night and wished rb3 did happen but yeah they were on MASSIVE drugs for making the game play like thie lmao.
The only good thing about this game is that that it's *short* so you don't have to suffer more than necessary, I finished this shit in two sittings as a kid, three including Hero Mode, it was so shit but I was like 12 when I got it and got it only because of Tenkaichi title, boy was I dissapointed, I was so annoyed that the game did not let me fight, just press 3 times the same button and the rest is mostly automatic, giant boss battles were kinda fun but not much, QTE's were annoying as hell, and Hero Mode confused my 12 year old brain to shit, if it was custom character campaign then why it was so damn short and devoid of content? And even my 12 year old gray mass could not simply comprehend how my character in SSJ1 who struggled with Piccolo could possibly beat fucking OMEGA SHENRON, a being that two SSJ4's could not even scratch, what the fuck was that logic? Why couldn't they give us more forms? Oh I know why, because that would require *WORK* and that's something most japanese studios are actively trying to avoid at all costs
This was the very first annual big DBZ game I willfully skipped, and this marked the beginning of my disinterest in DBZ games moving forward. Spike didn't do too hot with RB2 and I knew they had one more game left in their license run, so I really thought they were going to pull out all the stops with this one and go out with a bang. I was soooo disappointed when I saw finalized trailers online
Agreed, the new updated animated cutscenes are the BEST part of this ABOMINATION................................................................................that's not really saying a lot sadly......................
I remember not being able to find this game at my local store when I still had my xbox. Was sad about it for a few years until I saw online that the game is literally rock paper and scissors Suddenly i don't feel bad anymore; rather it's disappointing that a game with (personally) nice character models ended up in this state
Hidden: No one likes Dragon Rush. Me(Who does): I didn’t realize I came here to be disrespected. Lol This ain’t to defend the weird combat system in Ultimate Tenkaichi tho.
I was so pissed at how short this games campaigns were for a tenkaichi game. No GT. Aside from the fusion and omega. And to anyone who says “Great Ape Baby” you mean the re skinned ssj 4 Goku boss fight we should have gotten? Oh wait. It’s not like I wanted to play it cause that boss sucks and the qte don’t work and are super delayed. Kakarot. For the love of god give me a full GT story mode… Baby through 17? Then you can do something else with super or the movies. Then give me some more early dragon ball and for the last pack. Omega Shenron. None of the others. Okay maybe nova and ice. But I want Nova playable. I have spoken. 😊
Are you going to cover the peak of Dragon Ball gaming Dragon Ball Z for Kinect? That's going to be my next retrospective after the one for this month 😆
I wouldn't put alot of time into this as an adult but i don't regret playing it as a kid. Actually if the CaC mode had new game + i would probably play through it again.
I remember helping vote for the name of the game, what a darn letdown...
Dude me too. Then the next game after this was battle of z, 2 shit tier dragonball games in a row. I really thought we were in the end times lmao

Pineapple is great on pepperoni pizza. But yes, Ultimate Tenkaichi sucks.

@@loosenuplockz4219 honestly i can respect that♥️
I used to play it a lot to save replays of my battles and rewatch them since the game was basically a movie anyways. 😂😆😆😆
Fun Fact: Ultimate Tenkaichi's JP name is Dragon Ball: Ultimate Blast
As in it's implied to be a 3rd Raging Blast game, but it even failed at that.
To be honest, I always kinda considered the Tenkaichi and Raging Blast to be the same series. They cut out a few characters to focus on updating the graphics, but the gameplay was extremely close.

Sorry but only the special effects for the attacks and area destruction effects are good looking, character models are shit

The game itself is bad because the gameplay relies mostly/heavily on Rock Scissors Paper fighting style approach, which it isn't very appealing for many reasons... the fighting factor in this DBZ game it can become very repetitive and boring, that's why many DBZ fans don't like this game in my opinion... 🤷🏻♂️✌️
I remember i played one round against my friend, lost, and just put the controller down
It felt like i was just watching cinematics throughout the match
The way two of my favorite DB/gaming channels did an Ultimate Tenkaichi vid on the same day 😅
Idk why people take up interest in fighting games where you only need one button. The original Budokai series needs to come back. It has a good middle ground on casual and in depth gameplay
I wish he never took it down but there was this guy that reviewed this game and he called it Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Piece of Sh*t
This game was a guilty pleasure for me, i spent countless hours on it back in the day. I can acknowledge that the game gets repetitive real fast and shouldn't even be considered a Tenkaichi game
Ah the old rock paper scissors game that had better graphics than it ought to have had since it sucked so much. I wish modern dbz games would destroy the environment with your super attacks like this game. I was helping my friend play through hero mode and when he got to baby I was telling him how to fight him and felt like I was forgetting something "by the way he shoots lasers" "'what?!" He shot a laser right as I said that and my friend dodged it just in time. Another great video. Good comedy (I don't hate the way you look). Great editing and a excellent and entertaining retrospective for the most boring dbz game.
Dude i think my cousin had this game and was my fist exposure to dbz. Then forgot about it untill @Clinkeroith played dbz games.

Capcom: "And, yoink."
Hell yeah a new drop of Hidden :)
U GOTTA do a "ranking the games" video or videoS for all of your childhood faves. There ya go. Free idea for more content. Can't say i never gave ya nothin.....love these videos 🤷🏾♂️
Tenkaichi 2 will always be my personal favourite, 2000s will always be in my heart.
Ultimate Tenkaichi invokes in me the memory of me destroying my ps3 controller :)
I have fond memories of this game actually. Primarily from the Hero Mode as the customization had a lot going for it if you went for completion.
You could change your aura and Ki colors, your aura effects (I had flames) and even your own theme music!
The music would change depending on the situation your character was in. Are you winning? Losing? Using your Burst mode or whatever? That made me hype back in the day.
What was even more fun to me was that transforming into a Super Saiyan also changed your moveset and theme music too! In base form, I used a ton of Kamehamehas but when I turned Super Saiyan, I picked the most brutal cutscene moves I could find to give off that "I'm seriously mad now" feel. I had the theme music reflect that as well.
Personally, I will not recommend this game to anyone because it IS boring for most. I had my fun because I learned how to cheese the CPU by taking advantage of how dumb and predictable it was. Not only that but certain skills and fighting styles opened up infinite combos. I did it to skip the grinding. Which there is a LOT of.
My favorite memory is while I grinding and training under Janemba, my friend, another DBZ fan, was watching me play and he questioned what I was doing. I told him "I'm training under Janemba to learn his moves." He said it just looked like I was kicking his ass for no reason and that he was screaming at me to stop. We laughed as I continued to rip Janemba a new one until my PS3 died mid battle. I was devastated until my friend told me "He told you to stop, bro." We laughed and I went to get my console fixed.
Bad game, good memories.
This game is why I am not interested in tenkaichi 4 until I see gameplay. Fool me once...
I was in grade 12 when this game came out. My sis bought it for me bc she knew I loved the ps2 games and saw it had ‘Tenkaichi’ in the name. Little did she know this game sucked lol but honestly I didn’t mind the character models. Thought they looked pretty cool in motion.
I was actually thinking your were going to say this game gets a B for balls because it sucks! Boring works too though 🤣
I never beat the great ape cuz the button mashing was super tough 💀
When you prioritize spectacle over game play
I played this game a lot as a kid was very excited for a dbz game with a character creator. I enjoyed it for the most part, but after I beat it I dropped it for Raging blast 2 lmao
do you think goku ever thinks about how orange he looks
That's the only thing he thinks about
@@HiddenChannelpoor fella….
I'm going to be that person but this game, it's not as trash as the community makes it out to be. I mean it's bad but like I feel like everyone is over exaggerating just a tiny bit
The visuals are good. That's about it
When you have a system relying on guessing a coin toss, it can make or break things wayyy wayyy too often. Imagine getting a nice combo only for the other person to merk you and not being able to get out because you can never guess correctly. At least in Tenkaichi and RB, it’s skill with timing. Press the block button at specific times to vanish out of a combo. This game, nah! Guess the coin toss 😔
I do think a lot of love did go into the making of this game because there are a lot of good qualities bro. Music, graphics, custom character creation, flying over the map, so much is amazing but not the combat 🥺
@@dalemau5 honestly think you're right though I still stand by what I said, sometimes I can get on the game and just enjoy the hell out of it because I can turn my brain off and it's just super fucking simple but I do agree with everything that you said I think just for my taste and what I go for sometimes, this is ok for me.
18:55 this edit scared the shit out of me. i thought my monitor was falling over
I love the use of sonic music in the background
It technically isnt 50/50 due to effects of smash and rush combos, depending on the situation you can predict what the opponent does, but these effects essentially make the game so much lamer
Funnily enough, Ultimate Tenkaichi is not considered part of the Tenkaichi series.
The game only has the name due to winning a poll, but the Japanese name being "Ultimate Blast".
The Tenkaichi games are called "Sparking" in Japan, so yeah.
Idk who told you that, But the game was counted whenever the sneak peek trailer was announced on stage, like for real look it up, the presenter counts ultimate Tenkaichi. It's disappointing
W custom story mode though, enjoyed playing tournament online
7:47 So... wen Shadow of the Colossus?
RedHeadHenry literally kick-started his career because of this game 🤣
it still visually the best looking Dragon Ball game of all time the destruction of the map was the best of all Dragon Ball Z games
I liked this game but of course rb3 would of been a dream come true and should of happened back then. I was playing rb2 last night and wished rb3 did happen but yeah they were on MASSIVE drugs for making the game play like thie lmao.
Hidden, you've quickly rose to one of my favorite RUclipsrs almost as fast as your channel is growing
Wow, thanks so much :D
This game had potential but focused on looks rather than gameplay
Yeah if they made a completely different game instead
Till this day, this remains the only DBZ game for a new age console that I have never played (besides The Breakers)
Why the f***?
@@Rubrasileiro Ik 😮💨
paused the video at 15:48...... dear lord 😂
man you deserve more views your content is really good
Spike ruining something? Are you sure? Never heard that bef... JUMP SUPER STARS!!!
The only good thing about this game is that that it's *short* so you don't have to suffer more than necessary, I finished this shit in two sittings as a kid, three including Hero Mode, it was so shit but I was like 12 when I got it and got it only because of Tenkaichi title, boy was I dissapointed, I was so annoyed that the game did not let me fight, just press 3 times the same button and the rest is mostly automatic, giant boss battles were kinda fun but not much, QTE's were annoying as hell, and Hero Mode confused my 12 year old brain to shit, if it was custom character campaign then why it was so damn short and devoid of content? And even my 12 year old gray mass could not simply comprehend how my character in SSJ1 who struggled with Piccolo could possibly beat fucking OMEGA SHENRON, a being that two SSJ4's could not even scratch, what the fuck was that logic? Why couldn't they give us more forms? Oh I know why, because that would require *WORK* and that's something most japanese studios are actively trying to avoid at all costs
This was the very first annual big DBZ game I willfully skipped, and this marked the beginning of my disinterest in DBZ games moving forward.
Spike didn't do too hot with RB2 and I knew they had one more game left in their license run, so I really thought they were going to pull out all the stops with this one and go out with a bang. I was soooo disappointed when I saw finalized trailers online
Agreed, the new updated animated cutscenes are the BEST part of this ABOMINATION................................................................................that's not really saying a lot sadly......................
I remember not being able to find this game at my local store when I still had my xbox. Was sad about it for a few years until I saw online that the game is literally rock paper and scissors
Suddenly i don't feel bad anymore; rather it's disappointing that a game with (personally) nice character models ended up in this state
This game was a guilty pleasure when I was young. Not anymore.
Hidden: No one likes Dragon Rush.
Me(Who does): I didn’t realize I came here to be disrespected. Lol
This ain’t to defend the weird combat system in Ultimate Tenkaichi tho.
I was so pissed at how short this games campaigns were for a tenkaichi game. No GT. Aside from the fusion and omega. And to anyone who says “Great Ape Baby” you mean the re skinned ssj 4 Goku boss fight we should have gotten? Oh wait. It’s not like I wanted to play it cause that boss sucks and the qte don’t work and are super delayed. Kakarot. For the love of god give me a full GT story mode… Baby through 17? Then you can do something else with super or the movies. Then give me some more early dragon ball and for the last pack. Omega Shenron. None of the others. Okay maybe nova and ice. But I want Nova playable. I have spoken. 😊
Are you going to cover the peak of Dragon Ball gaming Dragon Ball Z for Kinect? That's going to be my next retrospective after the one for this month 😆
I ENJOYED THE GAME BACK THEN THE NORMAL FIGHT AND THE GIANT FIGHT EVEN HERO MODE WAS FUN I UNLOCK ALL TROPHIES FOR THE GAME ON PS3
Dang all these sonic bangers playing in the back
Ultimate Tenkaichi is like the Catfight Game in Yakuza 0
I wouldn't put alot of time into this as an adult but i don't regret playing it as a kid. Actually if the CaC mode had new game + i would probably play through it again.
the only problem I'm having in this game spoiler is
Baby as a Great Ape
What timing that you and dotodoya upload an ultimate tenkaichi based video all on the same day
Any day with a new upload from hidden is a good ! Love you hidden
