  1. Though nothing truly remarkable, it does provide a great follow up to an already good game. Fans of the PSP and of DBZ should already be on their way to the game store now to pick up this latest installment that will keep you busy for hours.
  2. Rabid fans will struggle to ignore its charms, but if you're not DBZ inclined Vegeta 'bout it. [July 2007, p.77]
  3. Fans of the franchise will not care and eat this game up, but overall this game doesn’t offer much that you haven’t seen already.
  4. Fans of the series will find plenty to do in Shin Budokai 2, although ultimately there’s not been enough progress since the last instalment to make the game anywhere near recommended.

    This game is a much needed imporvement on the original. It adds many new characters, moves, and gameplay elements. Also a brand new "alternate" storyline brings a fresh experience to a Budokai game that we haven't seen since Budokai 1 for the PS2 (which gave us the original DBZ storyline). Expand
  2. AWESOME game!!!!!!!

    Amazing battles, a very good multiplayer, a fresh storyline, a very good fighting game for the PSP, it's kind of boring fight clon after clone in the missions, but all in all a must have for a PSP owner. Expand

    A disappointment. I expected more from this. To all DBZ fans, you'll be MUCH better off with Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team. The gamepley is okay, the graphics pathetic, & the game has decent music. Expand
