The game takes the acrobatic and intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic made popular in the first game and takes it to a new level with over 100 playable characters, 15 vast and vibrant 3D destructible environments, and nine different game modes, including intense single and multiplayer battles. Team up with Z-Warriors to complete exciting missions, ripped right from the TV show (the player can play with two warriors while in battle, and can switch warriors during the battle). Over 100 DBZ warriors, including many that have never been seen in previous DBZ games. Improved camera system, explosive environmental damage, and in-game transformations. The complete DBZ mythology, from Dragon Ball To Dragon Ball GT. Post customizable character codes to the Internet. [Atari]… Expand

    The game provides an astonishing amount of playability, unique player interface, and covers nearly all of the 20 odd years of the Dragon Ball Saga. This game is a definite buy for both Wii gamers and DBZ fans alike. [Dec. 2006, p.113]

    This is without a doubt the most fun DBZ game ever. Not only is it the only DBZ game that really recaptures the feel of the anime, but it is fun to play for DBZ fans and non-fans alike. The Wii controls are amazing when you get past the rough learning curve.

    This game is so solid that it will almost definitely convert a few more gamers into DBZ fans.

    After you wave the Wii remote and nunchuk to unleash Goku's Spirit Bomb attack, I guarantee you won't want to go back to hitting a simple button combination. [jan. 2007, p.112]

    Any DBZ fan’s dream game. With nearly any DBZ character that a fan could ask for, a deeper fighting game, a long (if shallow) story mode, an improved Z Battle mode, better graphics, and an overall improved game, there isn’t much to complain about.

    Burdened by clumsy controls and predictable artificial intelligence, Tenkaichi 2 is a game that can be loved only by forgiving DBZ fans.

    Its nicely cel-shaded characters pull off impressively over-baked attack combos in colourful stages, but it lacks balance and plays with no subtlety. [Mar 2007, p.111]

    Best DBZ ever. Once past the learning curve it is just like the anime. Fantastic Wii controls.

El hecho de incluir la posibilidad dePara seguidores de la serie, y para buscadores de un buen juego de lucha, es altamente recomendable. El hecho de incluir la posibilidad de poder jugar con el mando clásico o con el control de GameCube (además de, por supuesto, el wiimote) aumentan la posibilidad de adaptación a un sistema de control u otro. Los elementos desbloqueables auguran una larga vida al título, y los gráficos cumplen a la perfección (esas manos, no obstante, dejan que desear). Si alguien duda si conseguirlo o no, que deje de hacerlo: invitad a unos amigos, y a competir con vuestro personaje favorito.… Expand

It doesn't push the genre or anything, but for hardcore DBZ fans that don't mind learning the overly complex controls to do moves that are relatively simple on the other versions it is by far only worth buying on the Wii. I would almost suggest it to non DBZ fans.… Expand

    What do you mean complicated? this game is not that complicated at all! the only move that is hard is the kamama! this is a great game! this What do you mean complicated? this game is not that complicated at all! the only move that is hard is the kamama! this is a great game! this is good for both DBZ fans and none. this trully is a great game for the WII. but it comes short because it does get boring after you beat it. but hey it was worth the $40 price for it. And one more thing I have heard more anoying charater voices in the menu then this game. like Narto for the WII talk about anoying!… Expand

It's a shame as this game lacks a "pick-up-and-play" style that allows for multiplayer to extend it's lifespan. Still, performing a Kamehameha is never going to be any more than it is in this game.… Expand
