  • Summary: Dragon Ball Z fans can rest assured that the destructible environment, and character trademark attacks and transformations will be true to the series. These include signature Pursuit Attacks which enable players to initiate attack combo strings, juggling your opponent in a string of devastating strikes throughout the environment. Additionally, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 will sport the new Raging Soul System which enables characters to reach a special state, increasing their combat abilities to the ultimate level. Sporting more than 90 characters, 20 of which are brand new to the Raging Blast series, new modes, and additional environmental effects, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is the next evolution in the home console series.

    We expected just another installment of DBZ, with the same story, the same battles, with no originality... We were wrong! Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 pushes the limits of the genre with a new combat system that makes all possible. A beautiful game, super fast, comprehensive and very technical. One of the really best DBZ fighting games.

    Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is a good evolution of the previous game. The main issue of Raging Blast, the ugly camera, has been solved now granting a better gameplay. If you are looking for a cool way to live the Dragon Ball main story, this is not the game for you, but if you are looking for fast and entertaining fights, this can be a good choice.
  3. A deep 3D fighter. [Feb 2011, p.114]
  4. With repetitive gameplay, annoying music, and an overall "fans only" attitude, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 proves creatively spent force is never quite spent, as long as the fans keep spending. [Jan 2011, p.85]

  1. Its a refinded experience, not more nothing less, the combat has changed a lot from RB1 making it feel like you have to learn it all again, it has a steep learning curve, this game is for Hardcore DBZ fans, again no GT BUT all the characters are balanced, online is MUCH improved, if some1 leaves a game they get penalised for it! The graphics are very nice, music is so so, the theme song rocks! The combat is face paced and its the deepest anime fighter out there! new characters are nice GT would of been nice but SS4 goku would be way overpowered, the Anime included is nice but NO DUB :( the jap is fine but i prefer english. Galaxy mode is a nice addition, be warned there is no story mode, like a summary but there are loads of characters to choose from, im hoping RB3 will include everything next year! Great game otherwise! Expand

    This game is really good if you like the kind of DBZ battles. If you expected a new innovative way of fighting you shouldn't buy the game. The graphics are really good and there are a lot of characters. Turns to be a little repetitive after a while. Expand
  3. As "protidez" says: not much is new in this game. The Galaxy Mode seems engaging, though it would really be frustrating for a newbie to the series, not knowing what the **** is up with all those characters and what their stories are. Nevertheless I find the game really fast paced and exciting when it comes to gameplay, though the items that you receive as you play through the game give you such an enormous type of power (if you put them together right, which is really simple to do), making you a killing machine, being able to defeat anybody within less than 10 seconds. That is really unfair, and the wishes that you can make with the help of the dragons( yes, Porunga, the Namekian dragon is here too) are pure crap! You fight like a maniac to receive the dragon balls, one by one, just to get a crappy wish. These guys are not serious at all (The guys that made the game) Darn it, there are like 5 teams that worked on this game and none have come with a revolutionary idea to make it worth buying for once! Sheesh! The same guys have made Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 and 2. Now those are truly outstanding games. Even if you're not a fan of the anime series, those two games can actually make you fall in love with the naruto saga. They are THAT good! Well, this is my review... also, my first ever game review... if anything's missing, I apologize! Expand
  4. having played this game extensively now, I feel I've gauged it enough to give my opinion. Raging blast 2 is a very basic fighter, with a few differences, mainly being the ability to roam and fight through destructable environments instead of being stuck to a 2d platform. My main beef with this game is just how easy it is to do everything, combo's are certainly lacking, and you get the same effect from smashing the buttons on your game pad at random, as you would from attemping to pull off a combo correctly. Instead of a story mode, you find "Galaxy" mode, which ammounts to progressing through stages until you reach a boss battle, no secret on innovative formula's put to use here, as i've said, it's very basic.

    I was told you would need to be a fan on DBZ to enjoy this game. However I am a fan, a huge one, but I found this game very dull from the offset. It certainly sits in the shadow of Ultimate Tenkaichi.
