5.0 out of 5 stars The King of all Dragonball games!, November 12, 2006

This review is from: Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (Video Game)

This game is a masterpiece of the dragonball name. the graphics are nice, certain fighting sequences show some really detailed animation that looks like they took it from the show itself (they didn't really do that). You have the option of just playing the fusion characters by doing fusion and you don't have any time limit at all or you can just select the character by itself. this goes for transformations as well, Giant Ape characters, Super Sayian levels (not 4 as they put Goku and Vegeta ss4 as seperate characters) Some of the bad parts from the first game don't exist in this game. some of the characters didn't have the best moves list for the first game, like SS4 Goku which he had full power energy balls, Super Explosive wave, and for his ultimate the 10X Kamehameha Wave. It was also nice to put some of the lesser known characters in the dragon ball universe to be in the game as well (Garlic Jr, Turles, Slug, Jenemba's first form, Pikkon, Pan, Ubb etc.). However not every single character is in this game, which makes it look horrible when you play the story mode. the following characters are not in this game:

GT Goku (little) and his super sayian forms
Dr. Wheelo (Worlds Strongest)
GT Trunks and SS
GT Goten and SS
GT Gohan and SS
GT Vegeta and his SS forms
Bio Broly (maybe we're better off not having him in this because I'm sure that he wasn't very popular anyway)
the 6 other dragons
General Rildo (early part of Baby saga when the gang was on M2)
Goku JR
Vegeta JR


This game is half tenkaichi and 1/3 of each budokai games:
1. Dragon Universe is back but much better
2. Some things have been exclusive to the game. (in the first Budokai, Cell accidently swallows Krillin instead of 18 and made a little story of of that) every sayian character who had armor and a tail (like Raditz for instance) can transorm into a Giant Ape.
3. Like Budokai 2 when you first started Dragon World, you had a selection of Goku, Adult Gohan and so forth. in the adventure mode of this game, in some of the later chapters, they used Ultimate Gohan as GT gohan and Trunks with sword to make it look like your playing GT Trunks. This has to be one of the cheesist things ever in any game.



This was the most impressive game in the series and will be the last dragonball game to appear on PS2 as we are heading toward the next generation of consoles. A Wii version is coming out too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biggest, best, most complete DBZ game ever!, December 10, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (Video Game)

The "Dragon Universe" story mode of the game begins with the opening of the DBZ saga (Raditz arriving on earth) and ends with the climax of the pretty terrible DBGT saga (Syn Shenron getting whacked). Also included are some of the movies like Broly 1 & 2 (why didn't they include Bio-Broly? WHY?!?) and the little known Makyo Star among others. The annoying thing is, there's no real transition. One moment you're playing in the Z universe and then you're suddenly in GT.

But the characters are the real juice. There's Goku (Base, SSJ, SSJ2, SSJ3, SSJ4), Piccollo, Krillin, Vegeta (Base scouter, Base, Base 2, SSJ, ASSJ, countless others), Gohan (Kid, Teen, Teen SSJ, Teen SSJ2, Adult SSJ, Adult SSJ2, Mystic, Saiyaman) to name a few. But sometimes even slight outfit changes are listed as separate characters. There are three slots for Goku (Normal, SSJ4, Kid), five for Vegeta (Scouter, Normal, Second, SSJ4, Baby), four for Gohan (Kid, Teen, Adult, Mystic), four for Buu (Majin, Pure Evil, Super, Kid) etc etc. That kinda gets on my nerves when I spend a lot of cash upgrading Vegeta and then unlock a different and better version of him IN A DIFFERENT SLOT!!! The same goes for Goku, Gohan and Buu. But while the game isnists on saying that EVERY DB/Z/GT character is in the game, there aren't. Most GT characters are nowhere to be found (not a big loss actually), Chi-Chi, King Cold and Dende among others are absent and such. Then there are the uber-secret charcters. Even if you complete the game 100 % (I've done it) there are still charcters not unlocked. Those need to be unlocked via the Fusion feature but the game doesn't tell you that, nor does it give you any HINTS about how to do that or how you actually fuse items. Characters like Super 17, Broly and nearly all the Buus can only be unlocked by the fusion feature this makes completing the game a chore since you have A LIMITED AMOUNT OF FUSION TRIES nad the ability to fuse must be purchased from the item store.

But the fighting system is great. It plays similarly to a 3ps shooter, with the player in full control of the character in huge enviroments.

DBZ BT2 rules and you must buy it. Ta. :D omg lol

This is according to my 14-year-old son, who has a lot of experience with Dragonball Z games and got this one for Christmas:

"I like the variety of attack skills and the awesome graphics as I fly through realistic lands! There are enough characters to last a long time, and it takes a long time to beat this game."
