Yeah, it's that kind of topic.
Most people would agree that the first two games haven't exactly aged the best but what about the third one?
When it first came out it was met generally positive reviews (currently holding the highest critical rating on metacritic). It was a (surprisingly) huge improvement over the first two and it was officially the first game to transcend the "Strictly for Fans" Label... but of course, there are some mad haters (and a particular one comes to mind). Does it still hold up in your eyes?
Anyways this might be the huge Budokai fan in me speaking but it has aged well for me. Of course age has revealed a few flaws (Dragon Rush and Hyper Mode) especially when compared to Shin Budokai and Infinite World which does certain things A LOT better, but B3 is still a blast to play today like it was when I first got it. In fact, it might a little better than I remembered it being more appreciative and knowledgeable on fighting games in general.
