About this game

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is a fighting game developed by Spike and published by Atari. It features more than 120 playable characters, making it one of the largest character rosters in a Dragon Ball game.

The main Dragon Adventure mode follows the story from the Saiyan Saga through the Dragon Saga of Dragon Ball GT, covering major battles across the series. The game builds on its predecessor’s battle format with expanded combos, in-battle transformations, and the return of the Planet Freedom feature.

Battles can include up to ten characters through a tag-based system. Returning locations and additional arenas provide the settings, while an encyclopedia covers key aspects of the Dragon Ball universe. The game was released for PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Wii.
