Dec 21, 201076There is a lot to do and a lot to unlock - although it all boils down to different ways to frame fighting.
-
Jan 12, 201170Dragon 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.
-
Jan 2, 201170Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 looks too similar to the first game in the series, except for small improvements in graphics and story structure. If you already played the first Raging Blast, this will look like more of the same, control problems included. But if you're a Dragon Ball fan and never played it in the past, you could easily enjoy it.
-
Jan 19, 201167If you're a dedicated Dragon Ball fan, look no further than Raging Blast 2 for your fanservice.
-
Dec 21, 201067But if I were a fan, I'd enjoy it a bit more because it does feel like an authentic, quality (relatively speaking) Dragon Ball experience.
-
Feb 9, 201165Playing Raging Blast 2 reminded me of all the fun from the anime series, but it also reminded me of all the shortcomings of that series as well.
-
Dec 21, 201065The release of this game might be proof that Dragon Ball Z is still relevant to some gamers and that Dragon Ball Z can indeed translate to being a game, but alienating audiences with inaccessible controls and content is highly irrelevant and quite unacceptable for today's standards.
-
Jan 5, 201164Another good title for every Dragon Ball fan out there. It's a shame that graphics do not deliver, and the combat system and control scheme are sometimes so flawed.
-
Jan 30, 201160Very little new to see here. [Feb 2011, p.97]
-
Jan 13, 201160Besides having a somewhat basic fighting mechanic, its big problem is a bad camera, and it is something that can not be overlooked. Dragon Ball: Raging Blast is just for fans of the series.
-
Jan 12, 201160It doesn't change its gameplay style towards something more deep and balanced and, ultimately, it does not add really new features. But Dragon Ball fans will enjoy it a lot, and also those who like the series and have not tried a Dragon Ball game for some time.
-
Jan 12, 201160Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 has a complex game structure that features a poor control scheme and a clumsycombat system. Despite being based on one of the most succesful anime over the world the game do not present an involving story (like Ultimate Ninja Storm) and is recommended only to the strongest fan of Akira Toriyama's work.
-
Jan 12, 201160It's almost the same than the last game in the franchise, and unfortunately it also means that Namco Bandai has not improved what wasn't working well then.
-
Jan 11, 201160Raging Blast 2 is just for fans. Spike doesn't change the gameplay, sometimes frustrating, and this means a poor fightihng title.
-
Jan 7, 201160Raging Blast 2 is not a good beat'em up on its own. It's just a good fan service, but other players should probably skip it and look elsewhere.
-
Jan 5, 201160Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is a collection of ups and downs. On the plus side the core gameplay is fun and rewarding, character models look great, and there is decent online support. On the downside button mashers can destroy everyone, there's no penalty for dropping from a match, to get the most of the game you have to play through countless hours of single player, and environments are bland.
-
Jan 3, 201160The Dragon Ball series has been trying to peddle long range, multi-tiered combat for quite some time now and it never seems to pull it off. The controls and combos in Raging Blast 2 can be fiddly at the best of times and fights can become decidedly one-sided which is annoying, even when it's in your favour.
-
Dec 21, 201060There is so much content on the disc that it is hard not to recommend the game to DBZ fans. Sure the combat can be frustrating at times, but once you get past that this is one collection of fan service that should not be missed.
-
Dec 21, 201058Basically, if you can wrap your head around the complex controls, then you might get some enjoyments out of this fighter.
-
Dec 21, 201058Raging Blast 2 is pure fan service, a toy box that lets kids reenact fights between their favorite Dragon Ball characters. If this is what you want, great, because it's all you're getting.
-
Jan 7, 201155Dear developers, follow DragonballZ: Budokai 3's example and try to design a game, which is able to hold a candle to the last-mentioned. This will probably increase the sales as well as the number of the fans of the series.
-
Jan 4, 201155Raging Blast 2 is one big déjà vu that adds virtually nothing to the first game. Not even the biggest Dragon Ball enthusiast will be impressed with this, even though this is still a decent fighting game.
-
Dec 21, 201055Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 has hours and hours of combat that only the most hardcore of fans are going to enjoy.
-
Dec 21, 201055Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 packs in more characters, modes, and options for customization than any fan should rightfully expect, despite the lack of a story mode.
-
Dec 13, 201055All in all, Raging Blast 2 aims low and hits the mark for lovers of Goku, Vegeta, and the rest, but those looking for a great fighter won't have their wish granted this time. [Jan 2011, p.73]
-
Dec 21, 201050Raging Blast 2's good looks and fan service can't conceal the shallow combat at its heart.
-
Dec 21, 201050Dragonball Raging Blast 2 packs the characters, environments and plenty of extras making it a good for fan service. Unfortunately, that's all it's good for; it seems the developer, Spike, forgot about creating a solid fighting title.
-
Dec 21, 201050It tries to cater to both fight fans and Dragon Ball's frighteningly devoted legion, yet fails to really hit the mark on either side.
-
Jan 27, 201149With bothersome controls and repetitive characters, Dragon Ball Z: Raging Blast 2 falls short at a time when the franchise should be at a high point. The series needs some fundamental reworking if it's going to stand up as well as some of its predecessors, and fans, whether they got into the series during the original run or "Dragon Ball Z Kai," certainly deserve better.
-
Jan 7, 201140With regret I must say that Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is not a good fighting game because of its overly complicated controls.
-
Dec 28, 201040Very faithful to the show, but massively hard work for anime and fighter fans alike. [Jan 2011, p.86]
-
Dec 21, 201040It's certainly a question of quantity over quality.
-
Dec 21, 201033It's obvious this $60 piece of fanservice was meant to sway old and new DBZ junkies into a purchase, but as the entire game feels more like an expansion pack or a cheap cash-in attempt, there's nothing here to recommend over importing some of the more polished 2-D sprite fighters or at the very least checking out Budokai on the PlayStation 2.
