- With another Sparking! ZERO trailer under our belts, I had to fire up my personal favorite in the Budokai Tenkaichi lineage. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is a special game, filled to the brim with content from its story mode and tournaments to even an arcade. Featuring over 120 characters, it feels like (for me) this game just hits that sweet spot.

Tenkaichi 2 was always my favorite. I remember just plowing through the whole thing one weekend in 2007. Those were the days! It wasn't until Kakarot that I truly enjoyed a DBZ game as much.
I would not have been into Dragon Ball Z had it not been for this game, I love it so much that it is my favorite game.
I also LOVE Tenkaichi 2. But is Kakarot really that good? I've never played it.
@@aaryamannambiar6677 Yeah! I personally loved it! The level of detail is rewarding for DBZ mega-fans
My mom could never afford much, but remember when BT3 released. I had asked my mom if I could have it. She asked the price ($49.99 then). The next day I had a dentist appointment, and after wards we were going grocery shopping at Walmart. I had to get a tooth drilled into to have a cavity filled. Needless to say, I was a bit miserable and didn’t want to be dragged around Walmart. So after the groceries were gathered, we wandered to electronics.
She asked “Which one is it?” I immediately lit up, and I pointed it out. I went home with that game that day, and it took me a while to 100%. I did it though. 1 and 2 were great, but nothing will compare to my love for 3 and my memories associated with it.
Also it’s the first game I beat my older brother at.
something similar happened to me, miss those ps2 days. things were much simpler. BT3, Budokai 3 and og Battlefront 2 are special as they always brought me happines in those dark days
Those were the days growing up with middle school friends. We’d share and borrow each others games that the other person didn’t have.
nice
This game definitely had the best soundtrack out of the three!

I’ve always preferred the second over the 3rd one flying around the world seeing people from all eras going to different areas of the dbz world still play it every year I love this game that much
Agree thats why i love BT2 and Budokai 3 over BT3 yeah BT3 had more characters and better combos but that story mode in BT2 just cant be beat
@@prom3607dude this is crazy those are literally my same favs your the first person I e come across who feel the same!
@@25thbam95 That flying over the map cant be beat by any game i really hope they bring that back in the new game would make it the best DBZ game ever. One thing i really hope for is a DB story mode since its basically never been done in most DBZ games
I always looked this one as well! I liked the controls better and the music, I played on the Wii though
The track lost courage made this game for me I always felt it fit perfectly, especially for the big fights, i really hope they throw that track in sparking zero as throwback for the OG of the series
Is lost courage the gohan theme in this game? I replayed tf outta that track as a kid
@@TBurr030 I believe it is. I usually got it while playing goku in a serious fight. But even when fighting a saibamen, if you hear that music, you'll think the saibamen are going to kill you!
@@TBurr030I still play the hell outta that song…30 minute loop in my phone as we speak. Also, MajinBlue made a FIRE remix…holy shit!
@@VigilantAnarchismblue lmao what if he was blue
@@VigilantAnarchismblue raspberry buu
4 BETTER have a bangin intro and good music like the rest of the BT series, I miss the quality they used to put into them, last good intro I remember was RB2💀
If only raging blast was an actual good video game lol 💀
@@mookiestewart3776Tf are you talking about?
This and budokai 3 is what I spent the most of my early childhood gaming 💪🏻🤘🏻
Tenkaichi 2 was my jelly jam back in the day.
My favorite Tenkaichi game, too.
Oh man, you opened up the flood gates for me.
While my DBZ journey started with Budokai in 2002, Budokai Tenkaichi 2 changed everything for us. I actually skipped the first BT because I was still playing Budokai 3, so BT2 was my first game in the series. I played this game a lot with my best friend at the time in his basement, we'd spend Friday nights and Saturdays playing the hell out of this. I never was one much for the equipment aspects of this game, but fusing to unlock characters was a fun challenge. But I have to say, BT3 was definitely my favorite. Added some extra characters and a bit of polish on a game that was already amazing to make BT3 even better. One of my favorite memories was playing the game shortly after release, had to be late 2007 or 2008 because I was in fifth grade. I got up early for a snow day and was playing this, and then I think I went in to work with my dad because they started late. They had a CRT TV in their break room so I brought my PS2 and BT3 and continued to play at his office. I used to do that a lot but that time in particular really stands out to me. Now I'm 26 about to turn 27 and I work in the same office that my dad used to, doing the same job he did.
Well, time to go home and dust off the PS2...
One of if not the best as well as my favorite dragonball games ever made
The amount of characters, the ability to animation cancel, the soundtrack, the fact that you could travel around the world in story mode, and the designs of everything was just perfect to me
The timing…😂 a classic
This game is always underrated between the DBZ ps2 games. Its identical to 3 in most apsects but it foes alot more better than it doesnt imo. The soundtrack is easily the best, nothing beats the Dark Half track. Goated game 💪😤
The map thing you mentioned that you love so much is one reason Budokai 3 sticks out in my mind so much too
This one of best of the Budokai Tenkaichi. Doesnt have the roster of 3 but has better character feel for each character makes them feel different
yes exactly, bt3 is overrated bec of its big roster, bt2 had more in depth battle system where most attacks could be charged by holding, u had to block in the right direction etc.
@@cycle1990it’s too slow and unresponsive compared to 3. I loved 2 but going back after 3 came out made the gameplay in 2 feel like it was moving in literal slow motion .
@@cycle1990bt3 is the best what u talkin bout
@@mookiestewart3776 just becuse it feels faster doesnt make it better, i dont get blindet by bigger character numbers, i Look at the quality of the fighting and characters itself and bt2 is just more indepth to me
@@cycle1990 You're off your meds.
The timing lol
Matt knows things 🤣
He was just holding this video in the tuck for the right time
Ikr
Cause sparking yh we all know
Dang it's almost like it's intentional
Everyone loves the Tenchaichi games so much but Raging Blast 2 was the best DB game to date
Still play it till this day
This game is specifically the reason I love Broly. As a kid, I didn't really see the movies, but I knew a few of them. I only discovered Broly by combing items in the shop area and accidentally put the two required for him at random and remember being confused who Broly was. My jaw dropped when I saw him transom to a SSJ, and I went ape shit when he went Legendary SSJ xD
So much nostalgia. When this came out back in high school, me and a friend of mine beat the story mode from start to finish when school got canceled due to snow. No story mode has been able to top this one. It covered almost every saga and they put a lot of effort into the cutscenes. Something BT3 was lacking. Good memories
I love how you unlock character s by mixing things in this game
its a bit weird
That game was neat and had (still has) the best soundtrack out of any manga/anime game.
Playing this game on the Wii made me fall in love with the series
Crisis is the best sountrack, so nostalgic. Reminds me of the time after high school going to the living room alone and playing this game.
Dragon Ball Retro Rebound videos are my favorite, keep up the amazing work 🙏🤝
The RPG aspect of this game was so fantastic. Loved BT3 but 2 honestly had it on lock. Stacking Kiss of 18 x5 on a character to max out their stats and just fold the world in half is a feeling that couldn’t be matched.
It’s crazy , I only ever played BT1 and BT3 , I never played BT2 but it looks like sooooo much fun!
i hope the sparking zero story mode is so good you can understand all of dragon ball by playing it
The soundtrack is so awesome in this game.
I loved playing this game all the time when i was a kid and a teen. Still have 2 and 3 to this day.
This is by far the best DBZ game made ever. I consider it the best there was, the best there is , the best there ever will be .❤😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼 thanks for showing the best favorite personal DBZ game of my life.
The one thing this game has over every other dbz game for me is always the music. Its amazing how every game that has come out, none have gotten close to bt2. I need them to add bt2 to sparking zero even if its through DLC
This game was a core part of my and my brother and cousins' childhood. Hours were sunk into this and the 3rd game.
I'm literally currently about 75 percent through the story mode of this game. I feel like you and I are like minded. You tend to release videos about 70% of the time based on what I'm thinking about and in the mood for that I grew up with and plan to presently buy, it's amazing!
Play at level 3 that's the only way to unlock everyone
@@udfkiddo Thanks for the info. Thankfully I've been doing that since I started, in fact funny story, my first game in the series was Tenkaichi 3 on the PS2 and I played at max difficulty which eventually wasn't max enough for me. Long story short years ago my dad gave away our PS2 with T3 inside. I currently have the Wii version along with T2. I also have T1 which I just finished on PS2 which was a little too hard to play on higher than normal lol. T2 has been fairly tough, that is since I've only been using health and defense capsules and lowering them when they get too high so I'm not OP to make things more fair and to rotate them for other characters. I've been using the Wii classic pro controller on Wii u. I really wonder if somehow the AI is a little more difficult in the Wii versions or if it's just in my head, because I like it.
I remember playing this game back in my softmore year in high school ‘07. I remember spending the summer break trying to beat the story and unlocking characters and learning move combinations.
I really don't play this one like I should, it's hard when you got BT3 da G.O.A.T., but so a good game.
DB BT2 is my All-Time Favorite Dragon Ball Game, & for me as a child perfectly encapsulated Dragon Ball. Not to mention I felt the progression/Rpg elements are the best next to Budokai 3 but wit 3D fighting. BEST soundtrack as well... Great video, Can't wait for DB SZ
for me it’s both bt 1 and 2, i only had 2 for a lil bit (tryna find a copy that’s cheap at the moment) but bt 1 was the game i had the most memories with and was a game i’ve bought so many times
also the music in bt2 was heat especially the main menu music
i remember hating the tenkaichi series after playing only budokai games. some games reviewers said tenkaichi 2 was fun and immersive on the wii so i rented it. loved it. super fun and made me re think the tenkaiichi series. but ill still have to try it with a normal controller considering the wii remote made the experience way different.
IMMACULATE TIMING
How
@@dantemitsoyu977 the new budokai trailer dropped like 2 minutes before this vid went live
My favourite dragon ball game it's nice to see you play a classic this game has the best story and ost which is incredible
8:46 i feel you man
I couldn't tell you how many controllers my cousin and I broke playing this game....its always been my favorite Budakai game...played the hell out of this game....I used to take my memory card to my friends house and we had a lot of fun ..the biggest cheese was Cell...holy crap lol
Wow… I literally just finished watching your video on the Budokai Tenkaichi series 🤣
My favorite game from of all time, have 2 copies and even played it yesterday at Dragon Ball Battlehour. Game is amazing.
I love the intro to this game maaaannn
I'm not sure if it was different from the ps2 version, but the wii version was awesome with motion controls.
I agree. I owned both. The Wii was great fun to play
It was, other than the controls Wii EU version has + content:
- Space map
- 5 extra characters
- Graphically characters had bloom which PS2 didnt
BT2 used the pointer for a lot of moves, I still don't know why BT3 ditched that for pure waggle. BT2 played way better.
2 definitely had the better soundtrack i also liked how you did the customization in 2.
I was in my 20's when this came out and played it non stop on my PS2. It canonized the Movies which was awesome and every arc from the start of Z all the way to the end of GT. I hope 4 takes us from Dragon Ball all the way to the end of Super but harkens back to 2's World Map System and now expands upon that.
I used to save money buying Naruto games and dragon ball games on my GameCube and wii.
I was so sad after finding out GameCube was left behind for Budokai 3 and infinite worlds.
I got budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the over 3 because I loved gatebreaker so much and refused to the latest one that didn’t have it as the intro. Did not regret it, 3 has a larger roster, but 2 felt different it had a lot of small details I lived that aren’t in bt3.
2 was PEAAAAK ❤️
Kakarot brought back that nostalgia feeling and now Sparking Zero is gonna bring me right back to being a kid again. From all the breakdowns I've seen the gameplay is almost 1:1 it's a true sequel/reboot. It's beautiful. I really hope the devs get it to a point they feel confident in releasing it. Still no release date I don't want it rushed 🗿
This my favorite dbz game
I wish I had these games in my childhood, the closest to this for me is dbfz but I just got that a month ago.
This was the game of my childhood right here. It will always hold a special place in my heart. My first DBZ game.
Dbz is something I grew up with and it became sort of difficult to follow as I got older. The games in general did good to sort of bridge that but budokai tenkaichi 2 is what I spent most of my childhood on. Me and my friends doing tournaments on the hardest levels and playing them through even if we lost to the cpus. Just amazing. And the gameplay of the button combos and stuff was so fun I haven't touched a game since then that had that. The whole experience is so nostalgic
Perfect timing my guy
Didn't have 3 so this was my bread and butter,I loved the story mode
BT2 may not have the largest roster of the 3 but it's got the best music.
I'm just surprised you didn't mention the unique game mechanic that made this particular game so special. You can transform and power up OR down or start in any preferred form in the beginning!!! I loved starting off as Super Trunks going super hard on opponents then after charging up to max and knocking them around a bit, I would power down to regular Super Saiyan (still being charged) and use my ultimate Rush attack as a finisher. I could usually beat down 3 enemies with minimal damage to myself when setting up 1v5 at max difficulty. The struggle for the other 2 was fun without losing too much health or stamina.
"... And its still one of the best games of all time. Remaining different than Tenkaichi 3, allowing it to not become obsolete to its sequel."
Is the rest of the title
This is the stuff!
I feel like you talked about this game like three times already lol
This game is that good
@@udfkiddo he's talked about it three times already though. We already know how he feels about it.
Well heres one more @@philo2189
This is how I see it:
Budokai Tenkaichi 1: Best Soundtrack
Budokai Tenkaichi 2: Best Artwork, Best Graphics, best story mode (my fav game)
Budokai Tenkaichi 3: Best Fighting and Character Roster
Eh….
Put HOURS into this game as a kid and gonna do the same this summer when I get my modded Wii U updated🤝🏽
I absolutely love this game.
Yeah this one's been my favorite of the Tenkaichi games too all these years. I feel it's almost as underrated as Budokai 2 is (yeah, I happen to like the Mario Party-style story mode for being more creative compared to other DBZ games). Tenkaichi 2 was a major improvement over the first one by including in-game transformations and the world map for story mode. Sure it got quickly outclassed by Tenkaichi 3's player roster, but it still has the superior story mode.
A friend in Middle School told me to play Budokai Tenkaichi and became a big fan of the trilogy.
Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the GOOOAAAAAT!!! I love that everything is locked in the beginning giving you the incentive to get through the game and unlocking everything yourself!!! I remembered the original trailer for the Japanese release, revealing all the Sagas being covered and all the unlockable characters!!! I was blown away when they revealed Great Apes and almost all the movie characters!! A TRUE classic: czcams.com/video/XbGZqo_gRzo/video.htmlsi=0ccRJCvZ414hQmCG
My friend gave me this game it was like the 3rd dragon ball game I played I didn’t enjoy budokai or infinite world but this game blew me away this one and the first one because of the 3d design and level of detail put into each character and their techniques it was the first dragon ball game that I ever played that I poured tens of hundreds of hours
u knew exactly what u were doing with tha timing lmao
That's the first and only game I thought "I don't know anyone who plays that better than me". Leave the challenge to anyone, I will shred you apart.
It really resonated with me the way you told that DBZ BT2 helped you to familiarize with the DBZ mythos, the same thing happened to me while playing One Piece Grand Adventure on the GCN. That game did such a great job to present the lore, history and characters to me that I had to become a fan of the series.
Man, remember when Zoro was spelled Zolo back in official merch back in the day?
This is what happened to me with the storm series and Naruto
It explains why all your videos are basically my childhood lol we are both 28 going on 29
DBZ budokai tenkaichi 2 was my first dbz game and it holds too much nostalgia for me to forget 😮💨🔥
Shenron on the disc art brought back some memories man.
It's like retro rebound knows when the shit goes down to post
BT2 is amazing, but BT3 is my favorite NOT because of the roster, but because it took everything BT2 did well with the gameplay and polished it that much more. By the time I got to BT3 I was well versed in the DBZ story, so playing it yet again wasn't needed, so it felt more like something to get through to get my unlocks while I can just focus on having fun 5v5 battles.
One of the best soundtrack in a dbz game in my opinion
There are a few moments from BT2's story mode that I'll always remember but chief among them is how I just couldn't beat complete the level where you fight Cell as Super Trunks until I recruited Master Roshi and jokingly switched to Master Roshi and proceeded to destroy Cell.
Maybe I missed you mentioning it but the game also has hidden alternate story lines. What if scenarios. Just makes the story that much more deep
This along with other games where traded in without my permission by my brother towards his PSP back in the day. This was my favorite DBZ fighting game back in the day and one of two fighting games I was actually good at. The other being Gundam battle assault 2. This one hit me in the feels, good to see it get some love.
Your brother is an asshole and selfish this was the best game ever
DBZ BT2 had none of the plagiarized music. The last one that had it was BT1
The best thing about this game is the custom fighting styles for literally every character OMG
I re-played this a few months ago through Android emulator on the Samsung Galaxy tab S9. Such a fun and long campaign to play through the story.
This game was peak hopefully Sparking Zero brings this vibe
Great memories with this game except one, I played this game nonstop for days until the disc itself stopped working lmao
I miss finding the dragonballs during fight in this game. Its an awsome feature
Such a great game!!!!!!
I too still play this game, it's one of my favorites in the entire DB series and of course after Tenkaichi 3, but who cares, both are awesome!!
The ost is a banger
THE GOAT.
When I met Sean Schemmel I had him sign my copy.
My favorite Tenkaichi, but only because I played it before Budokai 3. Had no idea that style of story mode was done in that game first
Bt2 and Budokai 2 ❤
But the third of both variations always had cool rosters and stages
DBZBTK2 had the tightest controls
Subscribed
Best Tenkaichi ever!
This one was a Christmas gift I will always remember it bt3 is fire but I got it on a regular day I will always remember that Christmas though
I also like budokai 2 over 3
This game's music was the best
Never played 3 but 2 was soooo sooooo good so much content and every player even non relevant ones are in here and so many different moves. Only thing missing was create ur own character
this game playing with friends was unreal
