Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

"Warning: This game causes tolerance."

"DBZ Has Raised It's Soul Into Open Wings!"

Okay this DBZ game is a very good simulator batched in as a in depth fighter too. If you enjoy BT1's gameplay then you'll like this one's gameplay 5x better!

Story

This Dragon ball Z game's story follows the original storyline at it's best along with the movies and a small dose of the best parts that gave GT it's time to shine. The loading times during the different screens of the mode is a little annoying but not too much. Some of the Sagas have special cutscenes that are alike to the original animation along with mostly seen cutscenes where they stand there and maybe power up or some controlled by the speech bubble/press X to continue style. This Mode also gives the original Budokai 3 RPG feel back with a eye catching background. This mode isn't as good as B3's RPG form but it is still worthy and takes longer to finish.10/10

Sound

The music of this game is excellent! It is very good and gives an anime feel to it which we can safely say that we don't mind not having the original Japanese music in. Most songs are done perfectly and can match moments and fights very well along with a good number of selections. If there is any negative about the music it would be that some names of the songs don't match them much at all. Now down to the sound effects and voices. The voice acting is very well done like the previous games along with the voice cast from the anime (English or Japanese). The sound affects from attacks and punches along with teleporting moves of all kinds relate to the sound of the anime as well. Perfect simulation here players!10/10

Graphics

The graphics have slightly improved since the first BT1. Many techniques are shown very well and can be amazing. The characters look like their anime counterparts but with a 3D model. The RPG/story mode's world map is very well done. The battle stages have now become bigger and larger than before and now feel more realistic to the environment to the characters compared where in the original it looked blank and looked like the characters were in a very well done play.10/10

Gameplay

The Wii ultamizes the controls. It allows you to knock your freind over when he is playing so you can still Spirit Bomb him in face. The pure rush of excitment. Is it going to work? Also when you do KamehamehaX10 while you just power hit your oppenent to the ground. 10/10

Unlockables

There are many things to unlock like extra portaras and characters. As you proceed in story mode you can also unlock secret what-if chapters. there are over 100 characters/tranformations to choose from so go crazy people! Many stages to fight in as well as many familiar Alt Costumes for these classic fighters. 10/10

Overall

This game is very worthy of a buy for DBZ fans and even hard-core fighting game players. This game should not be overlooked and should be played when you get the chance. Prepare for the Ultimate DBZ experience of this generation remember to let you power EXPLODE!
