How Metascores Are Calculated

Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
The time has come to go beyond the Dragon Ball Z sagas and experience the full force of the most powerful fighters in the universe. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 will challenge players like no other DBZ game before. Begin with an all-new single player "Dragon World" that opens the story to new match-ups, surprising character appearances, and missions that will amaze. You can also battle your friends in multiplayer "VS." and "Tournament" modes. If your will and skill prevail, you will come face-to-face with Buu, the most lethal of all DBZ villains. Do you have what it takes not only to survive, but to dominate? [Atari]

Worth Playing
The main thing that it has going for it is that it recreates its franchise so faithfully that you feel as if you're completely in control of its world.

IGN
With the addition of jumping or ducking abilities, an improved movement system, or the ability to fly independently outside of the launch attack, DBZ could definitely have potential to break through its already enormous demographic and become something even bigger.

GameSpot
A few modest improvements have been made in porting Budokai 2 to the GameCube, but the game just feels late, and a little irrelevant.

It’s frustrating, to say the least, when fights are often won by whichever player was able to mash the attack buttons the fastest during a power struggle, or when a powerful attack misses because the opponent randomly guessed the proper escape button.

GameSpy
This GameCube port has a few new features that the PS2 version didn't, like a few new stages and skill capsules, but you can't escape the fact that the game is already a year old.

Not quite a button masher, but close, DBZ: B2 is an easy-to-get-into one-on-one fighter that looks and plays much like its predecessor. [Feb 2005, p.113]

GamePro
Since the controls almost never change from character to character, there's very little difference between all the fighters-you've seen one, you've seen 'em all, in other words.
