Dragonball Z Budokai 2 ISO

A vast improvement to Budokai 1. This game still incoporates the Cel-shading from the gamecube version, but has a higher polygon count, more stages, covers the Buu saga, more characters and better textures.
What's not to like?
The story mode is, this time round, acceptable. You place your characters on a map, you can find treasures (Zeni, Dragon balls) and fight enemies in the Tekken-style associated with the Budokai games.
 
Still, it's not as good as Budokai 3, but it is still fun.
 
3/5

With the addition of jumping or ducking abilities, an improved movement system, or the ability to fly independently outside of the launch attack, DBZ Budokai 2 is a great game for the gamecube.

Anybody who has ever watched Dragonball Z will recieve some kicks from playing this game, with every nod and story element drawn from the series (as each budokai does) the solid formula is once again back - but with some huge improvements from the first installment - for one everybody speak English if that's the way you intend them to.
The game plays out in a series of challenges and a board game style capaign, which gets you started, before appearing in side by side fights between other characters. The fights are fun and acceptably reflect what you see on the television series. All the top characters are here - Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Gohan, Krillin, Tienshinhan, Yamcha and just about every important battle-ready DBZ fighter you can come up with.
Expect to unleash chi blasts, engage in tekken style Dragonball Z skirmish and to have a great time. People who haven't seen the series may need to just take a look and see if its for them, but generally all fans of the franchise should look to play it momentarily.
