Dear Atari,

Please stop making games based on the Dragonball series. They suck. Really badly. You're making baby Jesus cry with the crapiness of those games. As a matter in fact, I hope you guys go out of business because your games suck. I hate them. Enter the Matrix sucked, Stuntman sucked, Driver sucked, your Dragonball games suck, almost everything you guys come out with automatically sucks.

Love,
Jesse White, the hippie_hunter

[anarchistguy]

I'm afraid you're whining to the wrong people. Atari only RELEASES the Dragon Ball games in North America. If you truly wanna ***** to someone, you should do so at Bandai and Spike.

[oakzap425]

Why would you complain to Bandai/Spike? What the hell is Spike?!

Dear Bandai-Namco and Spike,

Please stop making Dragonball games they suck.

P.S. I still want Atari to go away because they suck.

Dear kage88,

Please stop liking bad video games, because if people like you keep buying them, they only make more and don't put in the effort and time to make a good one.

Love,
Jesse White, the hippie_hunter

P.S. Atari, you guys still suck. Just like EA, but not as successful.

I like them I have them all... I just wish it had better technique execution.

Press release from www.atari.com Thanks to MoltenMan from www.dbzonps2.com forums:

Atari Announces 2006 Dragon Ball Z® Line-Up for PlayStation®2

Games Will Showcase Exciting Variety of Gameplay Elements and Characters

NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR) today announced the development of two new Dragon Ball Z® titles for 2006 release, Super DBZ® and Dragon Ball Z®: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, both for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system.

Super DBZ® is a new highly intense DBZ® fighting experience unlike any other Dragon Ball Z game. Featuring an all-new and more complex DBZ fighting system with unique fighting combos for all 18 characters, Super DBZ promises fans and gamers explosive on-screen environmental damage. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. / Crafts & Meister, and including the creators of the acclaimed Street Fighter II arcade game, Super DBZ will be available in July 2006.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, the top-selling DBZ® game of 2005. Combining action, fighting and light role-playing game (RPG) elements, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will send players into a rich story mode that spans the entire Dragon Ball®, DBZ, and Dragon Ball GT® series. The game takes the acrobatic and intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic made popular in last year's hit and takes it to a whole new level with over 100 playable characters, 15 vast and vibrant 3D destructible environments, and nine different game modes, including intense single and multiplayer battles. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. / Spike, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is slated to release during the 2006 holiday season.

"This year's DBZ line-up offers more gameplay variety than ever before," said Emily Anadu, Product Manager, Atari, Inc. "Super DBZ provides a more hard-core 3D fighting experience to reflect the maturing gaming desires of our fan base and simultaneously remains true to the DBZ experience -- that of being the best anime and cartoon-based series out there."

Anadu continued, "Newcomers to DBZ will enjoy the colossal selection of characters, authentic recreation of the Dragon Ball story, dazzling enhancements and intense fighting combos of Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2. It represents an accessible and faithful way for a new fan to experience DBZ in its entirety."

Dragon Ball Z is the gold standard of anime-based video games, with more than 24 different games and 10 million units sold since May 2002. For additional information about Super DBZ and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, please visit http://www.atari.com .

EDIT: Press release#2

Atari Announces First Next-Generation Dragon Ball Z® Game

- Budokai Tenkaichi 2 Game Set for Nintendo Revolution -

Atari, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATAR) today announced that Dragon Ball Z®: Budokai Tenkaichi™ 2 is in development for Nintendo® Revolution. Combining action, fighting and light role-playing game (RPG) elements, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will send players into a rich story mode that spans the entire Dragon Ball®, DBZ, and Dragon Ball GT® series. Developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc. / Spike, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is slated to release during the 2006 holiday season.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 takes the series' popular acrobatic and intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic and takes it to a whole new level with over 100 playable characters, 15 vast and vibrant 3D destructible environments, and nine different game modes, including single and multiplayer battles.

Matt Collins, Director of Marketing, Atari, Inc., said, "The innovative controller featured with Nintendo Revolution is perfectly suited for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, which engages players with fast-paced fighting moves. Gamers will be able to play in a very physical way, mimicking several of the show's most popular character moves and pull off awesome combos and attacks."

In addition to the unprecedented number of characters, wide selection of massive 3D destructible environments and abundance of game modes, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will feature in-game transformations, which players will be able to trigger in real-time, making battles even more dramatic and exciting than ever before. Using the Nintendo Revolution controller, players will be able to mimic signature moves as they are performed in the Dragon Ball Z animated series, such as Goku®'s Kamehameha, moving both hands to execute this devastating energy attack.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is set for release this holiday season. For more information on Dragon Ball Z video games, please visit http://www.atari.com/.

About Nintendo Revolution

Nintendo's next system, code-named Nintendo Revolution, will feature a controller designed to be used with either one hand or two -- a first in the video game industry. When picked up and pointed at the screen, the controller gives a lightning-quick element of interaction, sensing motion, depth, positioning and targeting dictated by movement of the controller itself

[Gotenks]

Darn i was hoping it would come out earlier!

[XwolverineX]

I liked Budokai 2 and 3. But that's all.

[The FallenAngel]

The graphics look pretty cool. I think the cell shading works for DBZ.

[Goldenage Batman]

I'm a DB whore...so I have ta check it out...I like all the others so far....

[mystic gohan]

awesome i cant wait to play a GT storyline

[Warhammer]

GT Storyline and Multi-Player?

[Nathan]

4 gameplay vids are up on IGN (http://media.ps2.ign.com/media/824/824079/vids_1.html).

*edit*

Oh, and a new Preview is up too.

May 1, 2006 - Of all the franchises around with hardcore fan bases, very few approach the rabid following of Atari's Dragon Ball Z games. Its fans gobble up each release with reckless abandon, enough so that the franchise has spawned multiple variations of the series, all based around fighting of course, but some with a strong leaning into other genres.



While Super Dragon Ball Z is intended for hardcore fighting fans, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is targeted at a much wider audience, seemingly even those who aren't yet into DBZ. It's a massive game, featuring over 100 playable characters, a number of which have never been in a Dragon Ball Z videogame before. There were only six on display in the build we saw at Atari's Pre-E3 event so we're not sure how Spike is planning on managing a roster that large and allow gamers to easily find their favorite fighters, but suffice it to say that nearly every DBZ character you could ever want is likely to make an appearance here.


Tenkaichi 2 is a heavily story-based game, ranging from the beginnings of Saiyan Saga and working all the way through to the end of the movies. Many of the game's missions are actually taken straight from the television show and movies, allowing DBZ fans the ability to play through some of their favorite existing segments while also throwing in new twists and turns.

While some of the past DBZ games had stories that simply worked as slideshows between fights, Tenkaichi 2 features a full adventure aspect where players take control of a character and navigate him around the world, talking to folks, exploring vast areas and so forth between each of the battles. It certainly sounds like it's set up to be a rather expansive experience, though unfortunately we'll have to wait until later to see how this comes together as we only had time to run through a series of battles.

It's the fights that really matter however, and it's pretty safe to say that Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 has both expanded and refined the previous game(s) in most every way. These battles are massive, taking place in gargantuan arenas that literally dwarf the fighters within. The scope of the battles really makes it seem as if something major is at stake rather than just two egos. It may be a little hard to understand exactly what that means until you see the game in action, but the battles really do feel bigger than simply the two people involved.


Not only are the environments massive, but they're destructible as well. Characters can crash into plateaus and completely destroy the natural structures. Craters are left after giant attacks, and combined with all of the rubble you'll cause you're left with a ton of evidence post-battle that an intense and massive fight had just taken place.

While the environments certainly are cool, it's the characters and gameplay mechanics themselves that are most important and, luckily, this looks to be where Spike has made the biggest improvements. For starters, you're now able to change forms mid-battle, allowing you the ability to mix up the action as things progress rather than having to select a form pre-battle. Some characters have multiple forms, and clicking down on the right analog stick will transform between them in chronological order. For instance, Goku will transform into Super Saiyan, then Super Saiyan 2, Super Saiyan 3 and finally Super Saiyan 4, each time having his player model transformed and skillset increased.

The camera mechanics have been greatly improved since last time. The camera shifts angles a bit depending upon where you are in relation to the other fighter, where it'll move a bit to the side when you're up close and unleashing melee attacks, while the rest of the time it sits nicely over your shoulder with the other fighter targeted off in the distance. The cool part is that you can flick the right analog stick in order to shift the camera over to your other shoulder, so if you're strafing to one side you can easily move the camera to the same side and get a better view of the action.



Each character has a total of five different special attacks, which can evolve or change depending upon which form you've taken. Instant Transmissions are also here obviously, and seem to work quite well and easily. You can pop behind and out in front of your opponent mid-combo, allowing you to string forward and reverse attacks together into one string. Performing an Instant Transmission is a simple, singular button press while locked on, so popping about from place to place is both natural and simple to do mid-combo.


One of the most impressive things we noticed about the game is its visuals. The game looks rather fantastic, excellently bringing the cell-based drawings of the series and movies into 3D form. The Dragon Ball Z games have generally gotten better and better looking over time, but it's quite easy to say that Tenkaichi 2 is easily the most visually impressive thus far.

Character detail is pretty good, doing well to mimic the hard lines around the characters and small, drawn folds in their clothing as well. While they're essentially flat-shaded, the texture work is nice in that the characters do seem to contain subtle hints of shading or even imperfections that you'd see from hand-colored drawings. It's difficult to explain, but it's easily noticeable once you see the game in action.


There's a certain hazing to the environments that helps make them look massive, subtle tweaks to the camera filter that gives it a "realistic" look, even though it's based off an animated series. Most impressive however are the particle effects that fill the screen, like dust kicking up in the wind or waves of heat that come from some of the most powerful attacks. Great stuff all around, and Dragon Ball Z fans will be really impressed with how good the game looks.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is looking really sharp at this point. There's so much content here that fans of the series will certainly find a ton to love about it, and the combat mechanics work well and are actually unique enough that even folks who aren't fans of the series may be interested in it. We'll have more on the game from the floor of E3 next week, so stick around.

Looks to be a pretty good game.

[mystic gohan]

pretty good more like flamin amazin

[Genesis 1.0]

GT Storyline and Multi-Player?

Beast Mode.

Oh hell yeah, I've been starving for a GT storyline. Tenkaichi was heaven for me, especially Broli, Vegeta SSJ4, and Super Frieza (most innovative characters). They've really built a fantastic dynasty here, and the destructible enviornment and 360 views are even better.:up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

[mystic gohan]

well said genesis 1.0 i cant wait for this gt storyline

[Nathan]

Damn.... I was glad that I managed to almost evade the GT storyline completely, but now I'm going to be forced to play through the story or otherwise I won't be able to finish the game. -_-:down

[The Hurricane]

A GT stroy line woulsnt be bad too play. I hope you can be all the 7 dragons

[Genesis 1.0]

well said genesis 1.0 i cant wait for this gt storyline

Yeah, I was just tired of them giving you SSJ4 but without a plot line like the rest. Heh, they Bebi and SSJ4 in Tenkaichi but not GT storyline. I was just like WTF?

Now, I can die happy.:)

[anarchistguy]

FINALLY! Some positive thoughts about Tenkaichi. Everyone just keeps saying that it sucked compared to Budokai 3. I think Tenkaichi is closer to Dragon Ball than the Budokais will EVER be.

[anarchistguy]

Hey all!

Check out this E3! Demo of the game

The very first one was awesome. Back in the day, like 03 or whatever, whenever it came out. All the one's since then have been like the Moral Kombat franchise after 2.

Please stop making games based on the Dragonball series. They suck. Really badly. You're making baby Jesus cry with the crapiness of those games. As a matter in fact, I hope you guys go out of business because your games suck. I hate them. Enter the Matrix sucked, Stuntman sucked, Driver sucked, your Dragonball games suck, almost everything you guys come out with automatically sucks.

[Super Kal]

aw crap... more over the shoulder camera views, just as bad and crappy as the first one.

[Dark-Kenshin]

That all sounds good and everything, but we had been given similar promises in the previous games. Something tells me that this game is still going to suck.

Sadly, they have suckered me into buying every single one of those games, to date(excluding the gba titles, and sagas).

[Nathan]

We have finally some new screens (http://www.jeuxactu.com/article-15494-tapion-dans-dbz--budokai-tenkaichi-2.html).

Tapion, Hildegarn and Fat Janemba are now confirmed.

All DBZ games suck, exept for Budokai 1-3.
Instead of milking Dbz like it's a harvested cow they need to start working on something new.
A video game I'd love to see is Marvel vs Dc.
Now that'd be the hottness.

[Jplaya2023]

There is another DBZ game that comes out the 18th of july called super dragon ball z. That game looks good its created by the makers of street fighter and will play just like it

[SSJ4_Mikael]

Instead of milking Dbz like it's a harvested cow they need to start working on something new.
A video game I'd love to see is Marvel vs Dc.
Now that'd be the hottness.
Well Marvel Ultimate Alliance, is a Marvel which think is great.
Marvel vs. DC would probobly be good if they limited it so it's weak vs. weak and strong vs. strong.
Not like in Dragonball there chibi Gokou (from the first volume) can win over SSJ4 Gojita and so on.
Like 4 different levels:
The Ultimate's: Fp Galactus, Eternity, Infinity, Lucifer, Michael, Oblivion, Death, Ion, Parallax and Superman Prime
Hard: Hulk, Thor, Sentry, Superman
Normal: Spiderman, Venom, some mutants..
Easy: Captain America, Black cat, Batman, catwomen ect.

Too bad they aren't going to listen to you. Since you are wrong in almost every way. I've seen people buy DBZ Budokai games just because it another fun fighting game, and those people don't even have a clue who Goku is, (one of my friends who purchased DBZ BT1 recently didn't even know what Anime is, no, seriously! He said he liked the boxart and knew that DBZ was some famous 'Cartoon Serial' like 'Dexters' Lab' and 'Powerpuff girls'.)

And in case you didn't know, in spite of the fact that Bt2 is around the corner (2-4 months), SUPER DBZ - yet another DBZ game just renetly released by Atary, with only 18 characters - Went GOLD in sales. - This is before its even hit american shelves.

So you can guess the popularity and the demand of DBZ games. Most of the DBZ fans i know have hardly played the Budokai games, its people who buy games like Soul Calibur, Dead Or Alive, Tekken etc seem to love Budokai games. Take it like a Street Fighter of this generation, people don't give a rats ass if the game is based on some japanese anime program.

And that means they aren't crappy. (well except a few one or two here...)

Some new scans. Even Yajirobi is playable now.

[Gotenks]

I just bought the super dragonballz from capcom its pretty cool, But i cant wait for sparking neo!

[Nathan]

Oh come on, that has to be a joke. Why is he in the game, his only prupose was to get killed by Vegeta.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2936/dbz10bk9zr7.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Oh god, I hope that doesn't mean we get Spopovitch or Pui Pui too.

[Colossal Spoons]

Why is Pui Pui even in this game? Vegeta killed him in 1/2 an episode.

[Gotenks]

I dont see the problem. I think its kinda cool how they have everyone in the game. Its almost like you can pick anyone in the dbz universe (Besides regular humans) It also makes for a good story mode cause you will fight everyone the character you picked had to fight. So I hope there aren't any "what if" scenarios. I mean its not like they have the farmer with the power level of 5 who raditz killed when he first arrived to earth in the game. If they didnt add more charcters in the game it would just be the same game all over again.

[Nathan]

On the downside it's almost guaranteed that there will be like a gazillion clones in the game. Come on, they include even the most useless of characters that barely had one move in the game. And to make it worse, they weren't even of relevance.

[Gotenks]

Yeah but it will be like your watching the series over again. They wont have to skip anything becasue they can recreate it with all the characters they have added.

[Hack and Slash]

The DBZ looks awesome from what i seen so far...

[Nathan]

Yeah but it will be like your watching the series over again. They wont have to skip anything becasue they can recreate it with all the characters they have added.

If I wanted to watch the anime, I'd watch my DVD collection. In a game I want quality, good gameplay and unique characters.

[SsM]

If I wanted to watch the anime, I'd watch my DVD collection. In a game I want quality, good gameplay and unique characters. which you are never going to find in a dbz game :P

[Nathan]

Super DBZ for the PS2.

[Gotenks]

If I wanted to watch the anime, I'd watch my DVD collection. In a game I want quality, good gameplay and unique characters.

Well you got about 100 unique chracters in this game.
I dont know what else to say.

[Nathan]

Well you got about 100 unique chracters in this game.
I dont know what else to say.

Unique characters as in characters that DON'T play the same.

[Gotenks]

Oh I see.

[Super Kal]

these games are starting to get really boring...

[Hack and Slash]

Super DBZ for the PS2.
Is this game out yet?

[Gotenks]

Yeah it came out july 18

A new trailer (http://youtube.com/watch?v=J2FNxDZohww). It's simply amazing.

Dear God,

Why do you still allow crappy ass video games to be made? :( Do you apparently hate us? Do you enjoy watching us suffer? Why, God, why? Why do you allow this to happen?

Love,
Jesse White, the Hippie Hunter

P.S. Why do you allow Atari to still exist God?

Spoken like a true dbz fanbody :up:

the trailer looks okay... BUt the game is just going to be the same rehashed crap in a different form as the last three games


I'm not insulting anyone for liking/disliking this game.. This is my own personal opinion and I respect everyone elses as well.

[ss4goku53]

I love them all and they keep getting better........best one so far......can't wait for the new characters and moves.....also being able to destroy the planet will be fun......

Dear Jplaya,

In your opinion, the game is the greatest because it simply has Dragonball Z on it, because you are a Dragonball Z fanboy. It is because of people like you that games based of of cartoon/movie/TV franchises tend to suck most of the time. Because people like you FREAKING BUY THEM!

With Extra Love,
Jesse White, the Hippie Hunter

P.S. Do you hate Atari like I do?

still has the stupid over-the-shoulder camera where you end up starring at the characters back... that's why this game will fail.

no, I don't... but a high intense fighting is unsuccessful when you have that kind a camera angle... it's one of the reasons why the first one didn't do so well. I'd rather see it go back to Budokai's version: at the side like every other fighting game out there. that way you can effectively see what the other character is doing

[Nathan]

If it didn't do so well, then because people were close minded. They see a change from the budokai games and immediately assume it sucks.

You know, that's kinda the thing, it's not supposed to be like any other fighter. You could call the sparking series a DBZ simulator. You can do almost everything you've seen in the shows, you've full 360° movement and aren't just resricted to dashing forward and backwards. With the traditional sideview this game wouldn't work because you'd appear like ants when you dash into opposite directions in that giant arena.

I can see pretty well what my opponent is doing when he's in front of me. I don't see where the problem is.

[Super Kal]

that's just your personal opinion... I was really looking forward to the game until I saw the camera angle. This game is great, but the inablilty to see makes this game unsuccessful

true, but you should also have 2 different camera angles then: one angle so that you can experience it first hand (over the shoulder, even though I dont agree with it), and then the typical side view.

it makes you concentrate too much on what you have to do and takes the pleasure out of looking at the really cool graphics of the game... no other fighting game that I know does this because it's an incredibly stupid idea.

[anarchistguy]

You won't get a sideview because it wouldn't work. Don't you want to understand?

1. Once again, it's not any other fighting game, it's a DBZ simulator.

2. You're not supposed to look at the giant boulders and think "Uuuhh... pretty!". You're supposed to smash your opponent through them.

not true... it worked fine in Enter The Matrix. Even though it was a bad game, it combined first person and side view fighting perfectly.

[Nathan]

not true... it worked fine in Enter The Matrix. Even though it was a bad game, it combined first person and side view fighting perfectly.


And did it have stages that were several km big? Or could you fly in every direction in top speed, had boulders and buildings to hide behind or were able to smash your opponent to the end of the several km big stage without losing sight of him?

[Super Kal]

no, but that's not important.... the 2 most important parts in a game is eye candy and replay value. What's the point of eye candy if you can't see it with a confusing camera view?

[Nathan]

no, but that's not important.... the 2 most important parts in a game is eye candy and replay value. What's the point of eye candy if you can't see it with a confusing camera view?

No, the most important part is gameplay. And how exactly is the camera consfusing? The camera is centered right behind you, you can overlook the entire stage and your opponent is exactly in front of you.

[Super Kal]

oh, yeah, that makes a bunch of sense right there...

I garauntee you that Halo wouldn't be as popular as it is today if it hadn't been for it's jaw dropping graphics and replay value... ESPECIALLY the PC version.

[Nathan]

If a game plays like ****, there's no amount of eye candy that can save it.

[Nathan]

Little bored, so I made a few gifs out of the Trailer.

[Gotenks]

Cool.
Your avy is sweet! :up:

[Gotenks]

I just bought it yesterday and can't get enough of it. Its hard at first, but then you start to get the hang of it and becomes really fun. The music isn't the original, but it has like a techno/DDR sound to it.

[Genesis 1.0]

This. Game. Kicks. Ass.

Heh, I said it back in May and it was well worth the wait. The characters are more fleshed out, you have more options, the story flows alot more smoothly, and best of all: it's more difficult to beat. Hell, I didn't think it would get any better after the last installment but this proved me wrong.

9/10

[Colossal Spoons]

New 9 minute gameplay vid.

That was beautiful. It brought back memories of watching the anime. I haven't been impressed with the Budokai series really, but I might rent this game.

[AndThePickles]

I didn't watch the whole 9 minutes, but it looks like a fun game. At first glance I figured it was going to be just like the other Budokai games but it really does look much better.

Agreed.:up:

[gogeta1]

i heard that the new tenkaichi 2 game is gonna have over 150 playable characters not counting transformations.

[Gotenks]

There is 120.

[ssleader]

tenkaichi 2.......not really surprise.

[Warhammer]

This game is awesome.

[Gotenks]

Anyone else who has this game. I just want to know How far you have gotten?

[Jplaya2023]

I got it, this **** is dope, im on the frieza saga now.

[Gotenks]

Hey, jplaya your back.
I finished story mode now Im combining items to get the extra chracters.

[Jplaya2023]

Hey, jplaya your back.
I finished story mode now Im combining items to get the extra chracters.

damn man, you beat it already??? It said it takes over 60 hours to beat it and the game just came out

[Gotenks]

It came out last Tuesday.
I have not beat it yet just the story mode is complete.

[HyperGogeta SS4]

Yeah, I beat it awhile ago, it was awsome, I cannot wait too see what the next one is like, they really improved the fighting system from tenkaichi, and fixed alot of the problems that really bugged me in the first one

[Warhammer]

The game is beast.
Majin Vegeta, Mystic Gohan, Bardock, Vegeta, and my main man, Piccolo are easily my favorite characters.

[The FallenAngel]

I just rented this game. It's awesome.

Anyone know how I get the transformations for everyone? Like Great Ape for the Saiyan's, Max Power for Roshi, etc.?

[Gotenks]

Well after you beat the game you should combine items for example Raditz+Powerball= Great ape Raditz. So on and so on.

[HyperGogeta SS4]

Yeah, there are so many character that you can get, in game transformations rule and they totally made the fighting much better. Not only is there a combo system there moves are alot more personalized

[Taiwarriorz21]

Budokai Tenkaichi 2. What's different b/w this Tenkaichi and the last one? Characters or more game play? What?

[The_Dark_Knight]

Budokai Tenkaichi 2. What's different b/w this Tenkaichi and the last one? Characters or more game play? What?


Everything. This is what Tenkaichi 1 should have been. so far, its the best DBZ game, ever.

[Taiwarriorz21]

ahhh ha.....I guess then I'll get it. Even though I mostly play Halo2 for Xbox online. I've got all the other game as well.

[HyperGogeta SS4]

Everything. This is what Tenkaichi 1 should have been. so far, its the best DBZ game, ever.
Ohh yeah, Dark Knight is right they changed nearly everything, theres a combo system for fighting, its not a blast war like it was in Tenkaichi 1 because your fists actually do damage, transformations in combat, I could go on for hours!

[King Yakumo]

they still dont have the ova characters. and i liked the first one better.imo
dragonball gt final bout>>>>any other dbz game

[Nathan]

All PAL Wii owners, rejoice. Because the Wii version of Tenkaichi will get additional 6 playable characters, a new stage and maybe even the Japanese Music if we're lucky enough.

The new characters are Pilaf's Robot, Pilaf's & henchmen Robot Fusion, Cyborg Tao, King Piccolo and another 2 Freezer henchmen. The new stage is Freezer's Spaceship above Planet Vegeta.

And here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyTqfMBFiMw) a video that shows you all the new additions.

[solid ss]

i hope there is sparking 3
