Japanese version of Budokai 2 under the Dragon Ball Z 2 title. Refined combat system and more developed story mode than the first entry. A clear progression confirming the Budokai series' potential, already well received by Japanese DBZ fans.

Is Dragon Ball Z 2 still worth playing in 2026?

Known in Japan as Dragon Ball Z 2, this Dimps Budokai 2 refines the 3D fighting game drawn from the manga, with a board game adventure mode and spectacular clashes reproducing the series' mythical attacks. The anime faithful cel shading, the fusions and the transformations stay a treat for fans. The combat system remains limited against the genre's references and the content ages. A good fighting game for Dragon Ball fans and lovers of licensed multiplayer brawling.
