Imo DBZ:RB2 is far less exciting and interesting as the budokai tenkaichi series [I think its safe to say the same about the original Raging blast as well]

The biggest problem with this game perhaps is the exclusion of a story mode. I understand that maybe they wanted to do something different with the games main course, but "Galaxy Mode" is virtually just random battles.

The mode isn't the least bit exciting or fun.

The animations of the game I found were good an bad. They are better then Budokai Tenkaichi of course with much smoother character models, but both are great for their platform.. There is a minor animation glitch that slightly annoys me though. That is when an opponent is smashed into the ground, and the pieces of earth/gravel come to surface. When this happens the character can walk and be seen going through it. So its not a part of the arena at all, and it completely disappears in about 3 seconds.

The controls of the game are decent. They should have modeled them more after the BT series though. Some buttons have the same action as the BT version of the game, but some don't. For example simply tapping "X" use to be used to dash forward. Now it is used to do a back-flip if too close to an opponent, and it is used to power dash (fly toward the opponent) when out of striking range. There are many "small" things with the controls that result to a moderate deal. This isn't a mere pick-up and play game also. You wont be doing that effectively. You'll have to check out the tutorial/practice modes to learn all the moves.

Further, customizing isn't anywhere near as in-depth as the BT series. You're limited to how many moves you can do in a fight(similar to the way "capsules" worked in the first dbz budokai), and every character has the same health. Three bars.

I'd also like to point out that there are no GT characters in the game. However, they do introduce a few new faces

(Tarble, Future Gohan, Nail, etc.)

I'd been itching to buy a DBZ game recently, as I'm a huge fan of the show, and I hadn't gotten to play a DBZ game since Budokai: Tenkaichi 3 a few years back, so I thought I'd get one of the more recent titles to see how things have progressed. On the recommendation of some people, I got Raging Blast 2, and I'm quite glad I made the purchase!

Admittedly, the story mode is nonexistent in this game (anyone looking for an actual story mode will have to look elsewhere, as it's replaced with "Galaxy Mode" and a few others, none of which are a true story mode), but the modes presented still provide hours and hours of fun for me. The Galaxy Mode provides quite a few challenges as you go through each character's "Galaxy" and complete different fights (and yes, they do have you doing memorable fights from the show, even if it's not presented within a story context), and I had a lot of fun with this, despite a few moments where the difficulty took a bit of a spike (mainly due to some of the fight stipulations that are in place for some of the harder levels).

It's fun even to just turn on the game and participate in a World Tournament or a simple one-on-one battle, due to the number of different characters, each with their own moves. I do wish they still boasted the roster size from some earlier DBZ games (I remember at least one of the BT series having characters from Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, AND Dragon Ball GT, not to mention giant characters like Harudagarn (sp?), Janemba's first form, and the litany of Saiyan Great Ape forms), but the roster presented here is still deep enough for some variety, as most of my favorites are there, along with a few others (having a Super Saiyan 3 form for both Vegeta and Broly was surprising, and obviously non-canon, if you're a stickler for that, but still interesting additions to the roster).

As for the shipping/handling part of the purchase, I have nothing but good things to say about this seller -I was worried that it might take the entirety of the estimated shipping period since it was coming all the way from Texas, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did the game ship within that time, it came MUCH earlier than expected. It was here within just a couple of business days (two or three, I believe) from when I actually placed the order, well-packed, and in great condition despite me buying it used! I'll most likely seek out video game purchases from the same seller in the future, if they always handle their shipping this well.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoy playing this game, despite the lack of a true "story mode", and the seller did an excellent job of getting it in my hands as soon as possible -a great buy!

I love the dragonball Z franchise and have bought a ton of games over the years, i was really excited when burst limit came out because it was going to show what the power of the new systems could bring to a dbz game, however burst limit sucked in my opinion, it tried to play like the budikais as apposed to the tenkaichis but failed. Raging blast 2 however actually makes a really good game with a bunch of characters and amazing graphics. It plays slightly more like the tenkaichis but actually dose it well.
