This game is great! I love Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2!!
Unlike the first installment which had a story mode, Budokai 2 had a "Dragon World Mode" used for unlocking characters and movesets. Through Dragon World you can unlock famous characters like Vegeta, Teen Gohan, and Gotenks! At the end of Dragon World, true to the Dragonball name, if you collected all seven Dragonballs you get one wish for a new move, new clothes for Bulma, or Babidi's Spaceship! (explained later)
In "Duel Mode" you can go head-to-head with a computer or a friend. Using your Super Saiyan powers to fry each other into charcoal briquettes! This Mode is Fun for all. Especially if your going to grow up to be a serial arsonist... or already are one.
Then there's "World Tournament" Mode. Win prize money by killing computers! Fans of Dragonball Z: Budokai remember this! Its basically the same.
The Skill Shop is run by Bulma (for different costumes complete DW) it's less random than in Budokai 1. You can also customise characters an build skills. Now go kill someone!
To wrap this up I will review "Babidi's Spaceship" which is unlockable through DW. Babidi puts you in different situations where you compete for Kiri to awaken Majin Buu. You unlock Dabura, Majin "Mr." Buu, Super Buu, and Kid Buu here.
The cel-shaded graphics are a step up from Budokai 1 and make the cut. The music is okay but its not spectacular. The little sides like Babidi's Spaceship and Bulma's Costumes give this game a good replay value.
That's all Budokai 2 is a good game. Too bad Budokai 3 wont come out for GameCube but this is sufficient.
