the worst budokai is always going to play better than the best budokai tenkaichi to me but like. jeez this one is hard to defend. the skill system is really weird and the story mode is a bunch of minigames which is somehow worse than budokai 3's lame story mode.

in terms of positives, transforming is a single skill for each character rather than multiple, they got rid of dragon rush, and you can play as paikuhan. that's about it
