Dragonball BT2 is my favorite DBZ fighter and I have played: All Budokai, All BT games, Saiyan Saga, and I think the one was called Super Dragonball or something, and DBZ GT Final Bout.
BT2 has free roam, shiny graphics, awesome Z item customization, a bunch of characters, big battlefields, easy combo's, awesome finish move animations!!
BT3 was a step down from BT2, they added in some awesome new combo's and gave you that killer lightning attack where you can drive your foe into the ground BUT!!! They stripped out the Finish Move Animations, and most importantly they BROKE rushes. I love to use X to fly after people and start new combo's(not a dragon rush, just a normal rush) and in BT3 if you just do a normal rush and your opponent is above or below you you just fly straight ahead and MISS them completely. THats unforgivable. They also stripped out free roam. The Z item customization was also a downgrade. Nothing in this game was improved except maybe an extra stupid character nobody cares about.
Budokai 3. These are your traditional 2d fighers. They introduced killer finish move animations. They have cool minigame fights in certain circumstances. The combo's and special moves are hard to pull off though. Atleast alot harder than in BT games wherey ou just press a button and a direction to do a move. Other than that yeah the game is cool and would be my #1 pick if it wasnt for BT2.
DBZ GT Final Bout had something none of the others have. A cool power-up mode where you earn Battle Power/Points by fighting people which increases your health and stats(which are invisable). The crappy part was the only place you could use these characters that you power up was against other humans or in the power up mode. Its not like you could use them in other area's of the game which sucks. I always wanted the newer DBZ games to have an Experience system or something like it. Z-items are kind of a crappy replacement.
Saga and Super DBZ are pure crap and dont have anything to offer.
Nope if you know anything about what the hell your talking about then there is only one right answer and its DBZ BT2. And I will tell you something else. Burst Limit is the sequel to the Budokai series and it will probably be great but I dont think it will compare to BT2. And If they ever make a BT4 or a sequel to the BT series then that game will be hella sick(if they fix what they broke in BT3 hehehe).

Now what people really need is some god damn intuition from the developers. We NEED a DBZ game where you get to make your own fighter(human,namek,saiyan, other alien?) and an ORIGINAL story. I want the character you make and who you can customize from their looks to their techniques, to their combo's to go from planet to planet and make good/evil decisions and help defend or destroy/ensalve the planets. At the end of the game you will either be the galaxies savior or worst nightmare. Now preferrably I would want this game to use the BT engine but whatever.
As you fight you earn zenny or whatever that you can use to unlock maybe new bodies, new costume pieces, new moves, new combos, new planets, new voices. Atari and the DBZ dev teams seem content to spam us with the same old crap though year in and year out.
Anyways.... BT2 > any other. As far as overall fighting game its #2 on my list right under Soul Calibur and before #3 MK
