10 Loading Screens So Good You Forgot You Were Waiting To Play

If you've ever played a Dragon Ball Z game, you know they all have ridiculously entertaining loading screens, but they can't all be the best -- that title goes to 2011's Dragon Ball: Ultimate Tenkaichi. The game is the fourth in the Budokai Tenkaichi fighting game series and can't be considered the best game of the franchise.

Despite that, the game does feature a loading screen many players likely enjoyed more than the actual gameplay. The game ends up having to drop into a loading screen a lot, so it's a good thing the developers programmed them to be fun and interesting.

When players enter the loading screen, they are thrown into a shooting gallery, where you can shoot at dual-colored Capsure Corp. capsules using your on-screen reticule. It's a bit strange for a fighting game, seeing as it's far cuter than the rest of the title, but that just makes it all the more fun.

At the very least, it's something to do between battles, and seeing as the game has a lot of loading time built into it, it's something a player can go back to time and time again without becoming too bored.
