I remember getting this game and loving it so much because it reminded me of BT3. I loved the graphics and music and gameplay. I just hated the fact there was no story mode. Galaxy mode had me upset lol because it was a little too much as I was just a kid who wanted to be the crap out of Frieza and see Gohan go ssj2 for the first time. Still a great game, and great review.
Rb2 graphics/gameplay+a story mode that goes through all 3 with battle of gods+rb1 gameplay modes+create a character+bt3 roster with giant characters+budokai tenkaichi tag teams 2 on 2 mode=perfect dbz game in my eyes
Baltimore Studioz Well at least it has the best Gameplay. If you were to combine Raging blast 1 and 2 as well as the characters from Bt3- (BOOM)! Best Dbz game ever.
+Anyway Channel. This guy knows what he's talking about. I would also had in Dragonball and GT story too with create a character customization from xenoverse (with more options of course). With all this you have the perfect Dragon ball z game
Fire Starter Giles If you were to add that it wouldn't be the best Dbz game. It be one of the BEST VIDEO GAMES EVER! But lets not get excited over nothing.
If only this had GT characters and some more stages. Along with a solid story mode akin to the first RB. As well as the other modes from RB1. This game could also use RB1's item customization and have a ultimate attack customization. Including a character creator. This game also needed a much better collision detection and less bugs. These problems amended would make for the best DBZ game.
I don't mind them removing story. It had been done to death at that point. I wouldn't have minded what if stories though, that would've been fine. But yeah I wish the point limit system in the customisation was gone and was more like RB1. It really limited what you could do.
If this game had a Story Mode and GT characters back then, I’d love this game more. Galaxy Mode although might be fun for a little but after awhile it just feels pointless and dull.
If this game would have gohan teen with gokus gi, story mode and gt characters, more maps like destroyed cell games stage. This would be the best game ever
I know right. Since Bojack and Zangya were in this game, teen Gohan with the turtle gi SHOULD have been there. Idk how that costume with teen Gohan never appeared in any dragonball console game after bt3. Yeah there's missing maps like room of spirit and time and cell games in day time. And there were missed opportunities for maps like new planet vegeta or Hatchiyak's lair.
i love this game, seeing how im a huge DBZ fan i already know the story inside and out and dont need it retold yet again,so the lack of story mode is fine with me and i love how many characters there are also i must have gotten the older version of this game because my games soundtrack is completely different i know there was some copyright BS that went on with the music
The ZC2 was just ^+[] the instant before you were hit. That blaster wave was done by pressing L1 twice, but came with the cost of losing half a health bar.
yeah both awesome games , i think the company just knew how to use the material of their previous product and took it to a whole new level on oposite to dimps which is just a crappy company with randomly made games
I'll have to admit you provided some solid details about the beams in BT3. I guess I was just too enthralled with the graphic development of the RB2 beams to notice the aspects you mentioned about BT3 beams. As for what I find innovative about RB2: It's the little things. I, personally, like the aftermath of beam attacks; how it truely looks like the beam hit it's target and impacted them. I also like how the ultimate attacks give you an actual look at how the attack devastated your foe.
Look at customization in online terms would u want to fight somebody with kick ass equips and have them a beast that will never lose or against somebody that has those items but has a limit to how much they can use to give you a fair fight
I can definitely live without a story mode, I've played through story modes so many times throughout the past dbz games that quite honestly, I'm sorta sick of it. I'll probably look into picking this game up soon.
I have the version of the game that has the BT2 soundtrack. If i were to get the original soundtrack copy of the game after I have data for my current copy, would I have different data?
Lets hope for another game with similar fighting style.... i really hope that bandai namco can somehow revive spike....even if they messed up on ultimate tenkaichi
@KAOSTHEBLAKWOLF no i meant like, if you are in a team match, every time a character swaps do you control whichever character on ur team is in the fight or can u make it so that u only control one fighter for the hole match?
The only real issues in this game are the story mode and finding players online other than that it's a really great game that's worth a try at least for DBZ fans
Loved it. Though it was the best dragon ball game ever until I went back and emulated bt3 and I saw how mediocre this game was. It's not bad but after unlocking all the characters there's nothing else to do. This game isn't bad but bt3 makes it look bad. I know I give bt3 too much credit, but I never grew up with bt3. I grew up with raging blast and even I see how bad raging blast can be. Bt3 is more fun. Rb2 has way better graphics. Also bt3 has faster gameplay. Sorry Raging Blast but Budokai tenkaichi was made with more love. And bt3 had ring outs in world tournament.
There is also the charge timings, movement speed, max-power benefits and certain moves that make BT3's characters unique. More smashes and follow-ups would make either system better.
@VAST56. There are two items that fall under that category on this game. The first is known as Rush Armor, which has the effect of making the user not flinch on regular punches, and Smash Armor, which keeps the user from flinching on smash attacks. However, using these items drastically increases the damage you take from attacks ( an ultimate could take 2 and a half bars of health instead of 1), so using these items has its risks.
The gameplay of the Ragingblast series still urks me. It lacks some kind of intensity all the other DBZ games before it had. Unless you were sending someone flying, regular punch kick combos just werent making you feel like you were doing damage.
Well, dodging smash attacks is roughly the same in both games, since the time between the attack is "launched" and when it hits you is small in both, but things like supers are noticeably easier to dodge at mid-long range in RB2. You could press guard almost a full second before it hits you and still vanish. The follows have a tight timing, but they all generally have the same timing so it wasn't all that hard to learn how to avoid them.
my only problem with this game is the story... there's absolutely NO story! Just bullshit missions that make no sense at all. there's no cutsenes or anything. but as for gameplay and graphics, this game is hands down the best DBZ game since budokai 3
personally i dont have an issue with it not having a story mode. The story has been told a hundred times already in all the other games. Im glad they are trying something new with the galaxy mode
Besides the story mode in previous games had the only purpose of unlocking certain items and/or characters. So really playing through it wasn't done by choice, but rather necessity.
This may sound weird, but the soundtrack for RB2 is different for me on my 360, I noticed when I got the game for 360 that the Battle of Omega song, and others from the PS3 version, don't exist. Is this normal?
Great videos. One thing though about the sound, it seems as if you're talking behind a wall or something. I gotta really turn up my speakers to hear you well
PLZZZ ANSWER MY QUESTION!! I cant decide between this or Ultimate Tenkiachi. Ive been watching videos and it looks like UT is more looks than skill or combos but i really dont know cuz ive never played it. Im looking for a game with lots of combos so to be good you actually have to know combos instead of mashing a button or doing what the screen tells you to do
I have two questions: what is the rating of the game with the original song for europe and can you play online with the possibility of changing your attacks but without the possibility of making customization on the character?
How hard would it be to go from Budokai 3 to this? I got back into DBZ games with the HD Collection but now I'm looking at this for my PS3 because of the graphics and mass amounts of characters. Does it play similarly?
in this game, can you do duels where there are teams and u play one character and the computer plays the rest of the characters including ur teammates?
Yeah, the Ssj was a little too brownish or dark or some off color. Could you send me a link to that cel-shaded mod for RB2? I'm interested to see it if its that great.
Sarbaṇī Paṣtun Raging Soul increases your offense to maximum and allows the fighter more followup moves. If you put in a special combo of follow-ups, you'll get a powerful finisher move that chains into a launch attack that leads into the typical flash-step finishing combo or, if you're clever enough, a disruptive follow-up that lets you start the cycle over.
I'm a big fan of Budokai 3 and BT3 on the PS2 and I'm pretty good at both... I downloaded the demo of RB2 on my PS3 the other day and wasn't really blown away, especially the controls. Am I just rusty or are the controls an issue?
i dont know how ps3 works but does that mean you can use the mp3 player in game or do the music become part OF the game therefore synched with bgm?? if not then 360 is superior here it can play mp3 in game ALWAYS ANY GAME and off as well as online... athough only you can hear it
I'm a bit of a nerd about the models and effects between these games. Those short cinematics do look cool and add that nice effect. It would be cool if when you finished an opponent it did the DBZ disintegration. =P
Honestly, my favorite thing about this game is that Yamcha can beat LSSJ 3 Broly in a CPU v CPU match.
Was it on very strong?
@@Noticer22 if you know how to play the game, yeah the difficulty can be whatever. I'm pretty sure a saibamen could possibly take out kid buu.

you can now find people instantly
Now it's even harder.
A rarity
I kinda just realized that Raging Blast 2 would be THE greatest DBZ game of all time if it had as many characters as BT3.
And a story mode.
And the single player missions from rb1.
And a better menu.
Oh yeah... i forgot about THOSE flaws. lol. We need that Raging Blast 3 project to happen though!!!

I swear, this guy hates Dr.Gero!
I’m so glad they released the game with (BT2?) song to get with the intro
fuck xneverse or whatever that shift xalled mannn we need a raging blast 3
or at least a combo type like and roster from raging blast
agreed
The ZC2 was just ^+[] the instant before you were hit. That blaster wave was done by pressing L1 twice, but came with the cost of losing half a health bar.
You can use Supers and Ultimates in Raging Soul. You have to equip "Unexpected Blow" to do so.
I understood "tickle Chan" in the intro at the beginning
Personally, I prefer to play this game over BT3.
yeah both awesome games , i think the company just knew how to use the material of their previous product and took it to a whole new level
on oposite to dimps which is just a crappy company with randomly made games
^ yea thats why xenoverse looks so bad *sarcasm*

xenoverse is their 5 fifth game with different style *sarcasm*
