Summary

When Dragon Ball GT finally hit the PlayStation, it arrived as a polygon‑rendered fighting spectacle that let ten of the series’ biggest warriors clash in a no‑holds‑barred tournament. The game’s signature "Meteor Smash" combo could be countered on the fly, turning each beam clash into a frantic tug‑of‑war that still feels fresh in retro circles. Beyond the main roster, eight hidden fighters and a practice mode let you hone each character’s devastating ki attacks, while the Build Up Mode lets you train a fighter to triple‑digit power levels and save the progress to a memory card.

Released in 1997 as the first North American Dragon Ball title, it also earned the distinction of being the series’ first full‑3D entry and the last PlayStation‑only DB game before the Budokai era. The European version kept the original Japanese voice cast and opening theme "Biggest Fight," whereas the U.S. release swapped in an untitled rock instrumental and stripped the end‑credits. Despite selling 245,000 copies in Japan, the game’s jerky camera, sluggish controls, and sparse backgrounds earned it largely negative reviews, cementing its cult‑hit status among fans who appreciate its ambitious engine and over‑the‑top special moves.

Storyline

Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout (often just called Final Bout) drops the expectation of a true GT storyline and instead offers a crossover narrative that doesn’t follow the anime’s plot. The game’s roster blends fighters from both Dragon Ball GT and its predecessor, Dragon Ball Z, giving players a balanced mix of familiar faces. While most characters are selectable, the only opponent you can’t play as is Baby Vegeta in his massive Oozaru form, who serves as the final boss.
