A vast improvement over Tenkaichi 1, the sequel is far more deserving of your time. Once more we're presented with a behind-the-character camera view and a fully mobile set of fighters that can fly around an arena as we fight, but this time the ambition is far more realised. There's a huge roster of playable characters covering a vast swathe of Dragon Ball, Z, GT and the movies, there's a lot more work done to make fighters distinct from each other, and signature attacks are far better represented. In a wonderful new twist you can now bring a team of up to 5 fighters to a round, all of which can be freely switched between during combat, and many characters can now transform between different forms during a bout as well, so the Dragon Ball feeling is wonderfully captured. However, one mark against the game is a far too overlong campaign mode that takes accuracy a little too seriously at the expense of actually having fun.
