《七龍珠》改編遊戲橫跨數十年與多個主機世代，作品數量龐大，但真正能在玩家社群與媒體評論中長期維持「神作」地位的，其實集中在幾個關鍵系列。這些高評價作品之所以能脫穎而出，往往是因為它們不只是套用原作角色，而是成功抓住《七龍珠》最核心的魅力──高速戰鬥、誇張能量對轟、角色成長，以及熱血又帶點幽默的世界觀。不同作品各自對應不同遊戲類型，也因此吸引截然不同的玩家族群。

在近代作品中，評價最穩定、競技性最高的，莫過於《七龍珠 FighterZ》。採用2.5D對戰格鬥形式，由Arc System Works打造，其美術風格幾乎等同於「可操作的動畫」。角色動作、鏡頭運用與特效表現高度還原原作分鏡，讓每一場戰鬥都像是在觀看高品質動畫戰鬥場面。操作設計上，它兼顧新手與高手需求，入門門檻不高，但在連段、隊伍配置與對戰博弈上具有極高深度，因此不只受到粉絲喜愛，也成功站上電競舞台，被視為《七龍珠》格鬥遊戲的現代巔峰。

若談到老玩家心中的「傳奇」，那麼《七龍珠Z Budokai Tenkaichi》系列幾乎是無可取代的存在，尤其是第三代，更常被直接封為系列最高點。這個系列以3D全方向空戰為主軸，戰場規模龐大，在廣闊地圖中高速移動、瞬間拉開距離或貼身對打，完美重現動畫中那種「打到天崩地裂」的戰鬥感。角色數量極其驚人，幾乎涵蓋所有正史與劇場版人物，深度與自由度至今仍被視為難以超越的標竿。

如果玩家更重視「親身走進原作劇情」的沉浸感，那麼《七龍珠Z：卡卡洛特》則是近年最具代表性的選擇。以動作角色扮演（ARPG）形式，完整重述從賽亞人篇到魔人普烏篇的故事，並加入大量日常生活、支線任務與角色成長系統，讓不只是在「打名場面」，而是真正體驗悟空等人平時的修行、生活與情感連結。對許多粉絲而言，《卡卡洛特》更像是一部可遊玩的《七龍珠Z》百科全書。

回到PS2世代，《七龍珠Z Budokai 3》與《Infinite World》同樣擁有極高評價。這一支線相較Tenkaichi系列，將重心放在更精緻的格鬥系統與劇情模式，融合地圖探索、角色培養與多樣化挑戰內容，耐玩度極高。尤其《Budokai 3》至今仍被不少玩家視為PS2時代最成功的動漫改編格鬥遊戲之一。

而對於想跳脫「扮演原作角色」框架的玩家，《七龍珠 異戰/超宇宙》（Xenoverse）系列則提供截然不同的體驗。可以自創角色，進入七龍珠世界，甚至改寫歷史事件，搭配任務制與半MMO化的系統設計，帶來長時間經營與成長的樂趣。雖然在格鬥手感上評價略有爭議，但在內容量與角色養成層面，依然吸引大量忠實玩家。

總體來說，《七龍珠》遊戲中的「最高評價作品」並不存在唯一答案，而是取決於玩家偏好的遊戲類型。如果追求華麗、專業且具競技深度的2D格鬥體驗，《FighterZ》幾乎是必選；如果嚮往自由度極高、氣勢磅礡的3D空戰，《Budokai Tenkaichi 3》仍是無可取代的經典；想完整重溫原作劇情並享受角色成長，《卡卡洛特》最為合適；而喜歡長期經營與自創角色冒險的玩家，則能在《Xenoverse》與部分《Budokai》作品中找到樂趣。正是這種多樣化的詮釋方式，讓《七龍珠》遊戲至今仍保持旺盛生命力。

Dragon Ball video game adaptations span several decades and multiple console generations. While the number of titles is enormous, only a few key series have truly managed to maintain “masterpiece” status over the long term in both player communities and media reviews. What allows these highly regarded games to stand out is that they do more than simply reuse characters from the original work—they successfully capture the core appeal of Dragon Ball: lightning-fast combat, spectacular energy clashes, constant character growth, and a world that blends intense passion with a touch of humor. Each major title aligns with a different game genre, which in turn attracts very different types of players.

Among modern entries, Dragon Ball FighterZ is widely considered the most consistently praised and the most competitive. Designed as a 2.5D fighting game by Arc System Works, its visual style is often described as a “playable anime.” Character animations, camera work, and special effects closely replicate the manga and anime’s paneling and cinematography, making every match feel like a high-quality animated battle. From a gameplay perspective, it balances accessibility and depth: newcomers can get started easily, while advanced players can explore highly complex systems involving combos, team composition, and mind games. As a result, it is beloved not only by fans but also by competitive players, earning a place on the esports stage and widely regarded as the modern pinnacle of Dragon Ball fighting games.

When it comes to the “legendary” status cherished by longtime fans, the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series is nearly irreplaceable—especially the third entry, which is often crowned the high point of the entire franchise. Built around fully 3D, omnidirectional aerial combat, the series features vast battlefields where players can move at extreme speeds, instantly create distance, or engage in close-quarters clashes. This design perfectly recreates the anime’s sense of earth-shattering battles. Its roster is astonishingly large, encompassing almost every character from the main storyline as well as the movies, and its depth and freedom are still seen as benchmarks that few games have managed to surpass.

For players who prioritize immersion and want to truly “step into” the original story, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot stands out as the most representative choice in recent years. Presented as an action RPG, it retells the story from the Saiyan Saga through the Majin Buu Saga in full, while adding extensive daily-life segments, side quests, and character progression systems. Rather than focusing solely on iconic battles, the game allows players to experience Goku and others’ training routines, everyday lives, and emotional connections. For many fans, Kakarot feels less like a conventional game and more like a playable encyclopedia of Dragon Ball Z.

Looking back to the PS2 era, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 and Infinite World also enjoy exceptionally high regard. Compared with the Tenkaichi series, this branch places greater emphasis on refined fighting mechanics and structured story modes, blending map exploration, character development, and a wide range of challenges into a highly replayable experience. Budokai 3 in particular is still viewed by many as one of the most successful anime-based fighting games of the PS2 generation.

For players who want to break away from the traditional framework of controlling established characters, the Dragon Ball Xenoverse series offers a completely different experience. Players can create their own characters, enter the Dragon Ball world, and even alter historical events. With its mission-based structure and semi-MMO-style systems, the series provides long-term progression and customization. While opinions on its combat feel are somewhat divided, its sheer volume of content and character development options continue to attract a large and dedicated player base.

Overall, there is no single definitive answer to which Dragon Ball game is the “highest-rated,” as it largely depends on personal taste and preferred genres. For those seeking a polished, competitive, and visually stunning 2D fighting experience, FighterZ is almost mandatory. For players who dream of high-freedom, awe-inspiring 3D aerial battles, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 remains an unmatched classic. Those who want to fully relive the original storyline while enjoying character growth will find Kakarot the most suitable choice. Meanwhile, players who enjoy long-term progression and original character adventures can find lasting enjoyment in Xenoverse and select Budokai titles. It is precisely this diversity of interpretations that has allowed Dragon Ball games to retain their vitality and enduring appeal to this day.
