It's time to kick some cel shaded tail

There are more installments in the Dragon Ball Z Budokai series than Lindsey Lohan has bad ideas. In other words, the Dragon Ball Z games come out basically every other year, and unless there are major changes to the fighting game, there really won't be much to go to. The Budokai series has always had slick, and well detailed cel shaded graphics, a wide varieties of moves, counter attacks and special attacks, and very fast paced action. All that comes into play in Budokai Tenkaichi 2, but after so many Dragon Ball games, what changes have come to the table? The graphics have received a slight oomph from before. The characters' facial expressions during battle are subtle, but nice, and after rigorous bouts, you may notice your character's clothes all tattered. The audio is typical, with the same voice actors from the animated series, and many Dragon Ball Z-esque tracks. The game play is as fast paced as ever, but has a few tweaks here and there. After getting past the learning curve, however, you'll start to master the mechanics, character's moves, and will be firing Kamehameha waves effortlessly. The story mode is quite long, and goes through the essential sagas of the series, with some movie story lines as well. It drags a bit, but is a method of unlocking new characters and moves. The character roster is huge, with just about every character you could think of. The moves are varied, but with such a roster, repeating attacks are inevitable. There are a good dose of modes to play in as well. The battling mechanics can seem a tad bit unbalanced, especially when fighting certain CPU enemies in the story mode, as it can start to get more cheap than hard. You can fuse items together to unlock characters, battle and switch characters out in tag team fashion, and overall, the game is the fast paced action of Dragon Ball Z we all know and love. Yes, the games are mainly geared towards fans of the series, but unless your power level is over 9000, this game should be more than enough for you.
