    a jogabilidade não é tão gostosa como no 3, mas a história é muito bem cronológica sendo fiel ao máximo ao anime. porem várias coisas desnecessárias antes do combate. não é bem para um jogo de luta, mas um presente para os fãs da série

    Has a large number of characters which is fun, however that hardly matters when besides animation differences there are only 3 types of moves that all behave the same.

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the type of game that will only give you back what you're willing to put into it. [Nov. 2006, p.85]
  2. Outside of some minor quibbles with the user interface and some obscenely difficult matches, the only real snag is the fact that everything's so heavily based in the Dragon Ball Z mythos, there isn't much here for the non-fan to enjoy.
  3. The game was built for DBZ enthusiasts, but anyone who loves a great fighter will get into this high-flying, non-stop experience.
