I never played Tenkaichi 2, only the first and a TON of the third game. People went on and on about how much better the story mode was in Tenkaichi 2, so last year i finally played it, just to find out the game mode was way overblown. Maybe as a child the novelty of flying around would be fun, but in truth, when i played the game I realized that the game could have been accessible through menus alone and you would miss nothing, which is why they moved back to menus for Tenkaichi 3. The game is just a worse tenkaichi 3 in all ways. 🤷♂️ Anyone who says otherwise is just being contrarian.
38:00 are you playing on an emulator ? Because same bro but I don’t remember this being a thing on the original console
I always figured “Planet” was meant to be the setting of the first Broly movie
The Wii version is the absolute best version of Tenakichi 2 and 3. The motion controls aren’t overbearing and when they are utilized, they make such a huge difference in the immersion
Eased up on the Kid Buu battle? I HAD AN AWFUL FUCKING TIME AS A KID ON IT LMAO
Zarbon's story is actually my second favorite what if throughout all the games. First being Raditz.
They sorta made him compelling to me with his obsession and plotting ending in tragedy. it made me think what could have followed after Goku was wished back to Earth. If Goku would have wished him back as a way of thanks & how everything would have changed..
How did he get mid super saiyan goku against super android 13?
For years people have been telling me bt2 is better than BT3 but it’s really not due to roster limitations . A lot of those fights are repetitive and the same battles . BT3 makes better use of its new characters while also having multiple stages in one chapter as well as background dialogue and changing endings . BT3 might cover less but does wayyyy more with what it has than bt2 . I mean why would you want to play future trunks saga with buu saga gohan ?there are many examples of this in bt2. Ssj4 goku being used for every single gt fight is another example
There's actually 2 PAL region covers, Europe got the Japanese cover while Australia got the US one
38:47 I will continue to say that no, not every character plays virtually the same. Yes they might if all you're doing is mashing square, sometimes pressing triangle and throwing in the occasional super/ultimate move. Yes they'll be the same because your doing the same thing over and over again.

^This playlist shows you how different characters can be and different the gameplay can be or has change across all 3 Budokai Tenkaichi games.
The greatest
Awe snap you finally drop Tenkaichi 2!!
Forever one of the best DB games 🙏🏾
How do you get no outlines on the characters? it looks so clean
Fun fact, in Tenkaichi 2 only, if Zangya and Android 18 fight in a battle, 18 will call Zangya a skank
Why did you finish most of the modes on the easiest difficulty? Wouldn't it have been better if you tried at least on normal or hard difficulty?
This is still my favorite one ❤❤ got it for Christmas of 2006
I remember bought this game from Walmart Holmes Rd Memphis Tennessee same month I drove in 1997 red Ford Escort four door went to Walmart game section all I see trunks holding up sword I didn't know the game was released and I got cash so I went to the counter as for the game then bought it and unlocked everything
The amount of content in this game is insane. If it were to release today, 40% of it would be at launch and the other 60% would br season pass DLC
DBZBT2 is the very first DBZ game I ever played and I'm elated to see it stands the test of time. Really looking forward to Sparking Zero
Oof, imagine thinking budokai 3 was better than this game. T2 is god tier compared to that side screen junk
2:50 It would be awesome if Sparking Zero had this feature. That was one of my favorite parts of BT2. Outside of the battles of course.
