Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

"I need to play how long?"

This Dragon Ball Z game is one of the best I have played. The battle system is the same as the first in this series. I think that the amount of time needed to play this game is great because I beat the others (DBZ Budokai, Sagas, etc.) really quickly... and yes getting 100%. I have had this game for more than a month now and still don't see an ending coming soon. I don't devote the time I used to, but when I get the chance to, I tear it up.
Graphics in this game are good, and I would give them an 8.

Story line is based on the anime storylines as well as some "what if" sagas, so I would give them a 9.

For the fight system, it is slightly modified, so that powering up to SSJ-SSJ4 is easy and is at the press of a button. I give the battle system a 10.

Also, the other neat thing about this is leveling up your items. You start at level 1 and can get up to level 19. This is fun because you can fight Frieza when he is at level 42 and you are at 105+ or even at level 8.

There are 3 levels at which to play. Each lever is different because the fighting is easy, medium, or hard. You do, however, get more experience on hard then you do on the other two.

The Dragon Balls in this game can be gathered the typical way of either finding them, or fighting in an area and destroying the scenario till you find it. However, every fight doesn't always have a ball to give you. You get one wish when summoning Shenron on Earth, and THREE if you summon the Dragon balls on Namek.

The dragon tournaments are cool because you see the world martial arts tournament, as well as the cell games. The addition to this game was the tournament in the movie about Bojack is also in this, but no you don't fight aliens instead of the regular characters (well I guess you do if you fight Goku or Vegeta or almost anyone actually).

The Evolution Z in this game is the typical fusion based. The good thing is you can by item fusions from the item shop, unlike in the first one.
Everything about this game is good, and I hope this helps you decide to get the game.
