@@aaryamannambiar6677 Yeah! I personally loved it! The level of detail is rewarding for DBZ mega-fans

My mom could never afford much, but remember when BT3 released. I had asked my mom if I could have it. She asked the price ($49.99 then). The next day I had a dentist appointment, and after wards we were going grocery shopping at Walmart. I had to get a tooth drilled into to have a cavity filled. Needless to say, I was a bit miserable and didn’t want to be dragged around Walmart. So after the groceries were gathered, we wandered to electronics. She asked “Which one is it?” I immediately lit up, and I pointed it out. I went home with that game that day, and it took me a while to 100%. I did it though. 1 and 2 were great, but nothing will compare to my love for 3 and my memories associated with it. Also it’s the first game I beat my older brother at.

This and budokai 3 is what I spent the most of my early childhood gaming 💪🏻🤘🏻

Tenkaichi 2 was my jelly jam back in the day.

The timing…😂 a classic

Oh man, you opened up the flood gates for me. While my DBZ journey started with Budokai in 2002, Budokai Tenkaichi 2 changed everything for us. I actually skipped the first BT because I was still playing Budokai 3, so BT2 was my first game in the series. I played this game a lot with my best friend at the time in his basement, we'd spend Friday nights and Saturdays playing the hell out of this. I never was one much for the equipment aspects of this game, but fusing to unlock characters was a fun challenge. But I have to say, BT3 was definitely my favorite. Added some extra characters and a bit of polish on a game that was already amazing to make BT3 even better. One of my favorite memories was playing the game shortly after release, had to be late 2007 or 2008 because I was in fifth grade. I got up early for a snow day and was playing this, and then I think I went in to work with my dad because they started late. They had a CRT TV in their break room so I brought my PS2 and BT3 and continued to play at his office. I used to do that a lot but that time in particular really stands out to me. Now I'm 26 about to turn 27 and I work in the same office that my dad used to, doing the same job he did. Well, time to go home and dust off the PS2...

My favorite Tenkaichi game, too.

One of if not the best as well as my favorite dragonball games ever made The amount of characters, the ability to animation cancel, the soundtrack, the fact that you could travel around the world in story mode, and the designs of everything was just perfect to me

The map thing you mentioned that you love so much is one reason Budokai 3 sticks out in my mind so much too

This game is specifically the reason I love Broly. As a kid, I didn't really see the movies, but I knew a few of them. I only discovered Broly by combing items in the shop area and accidentally put the two required for him at random and remember being confused who Broly was. My jaw dropped when I saw him transom to a SSJ, and I went ape shit when he went Legendary SSJ xD

Playing this game on the Wii made me fall in love with the series

@@udfkiddo Thanks for the info. Thankfully I've been doing that since I started, in fact funny story, my first game in the series was Tenkaichi 3 on the PS2 and I played at max difficulty which eventually wasn't max enough for me. Long story short years ago my dad gave away our PS2 with T3 inside. I currently have the Wii version along with T2. I also have T1 which I just finished on PS2 which was a little too hard to play on higher than normal lol. T2 has been fairly tough, that is since I've only been using health and defense capsules and lowering them when they get too high so I'm not OP to make things more fair and to rotate them for other characters. I've been using the Wii classic pro controller on Wii u. I really wonder if somehow the AI is a little more difficult in the Wii versions or if it's just in my head, because I like it.

So much nostalgia. When this came out back in high school, me and a friend of mine beat the story mode from start to finish when school got canceled due to snow. No story mode has been able to top this one. It covered almost every saga and they put a lot of effort into the cutscenes. Something BT3 was lacking. Good memories

The soundtrack is so awesome in this game.

DB BT2 is my All-Time Favorite Dragon Ball Game, & for me as a child perfectly encapsulated Dragon Ball. Not to mention I felt the progression/Rpg elements are the best next to Budokai 3 but wit 3D fighting. BEST soundtrack as well... Great video, Can't wait for DB SZ

It really resonated with me the way you told that DBZ BT2 helped you to familiarize with the DBZ mythos, the same thing happened to me while playing One Piece Grand Adventure on the GCN. That game did such a great job to present the lore, history and characters to me that I had to become a fan of the series. Man, remember when Zoro was spelled Zolo back in official merch back in the day?

The RPG aspect of this game was so fantastic. Loved BT3 but 2 honestly had it on lock. Stacking Kiss of 18 x5 on a character to max out their stats and just fold the world in half is a feeling that couldn’t be matched.

Perfect timing my guy

My favourite dragon ball game it's nice to see you play a classic this game has the best story and ost which is incredible

for me it’s both bt 1 and 2, i only had 2 for a lil bit (tryna find a copy that’s cheap at the moment) but bt 1 was the game i had the most memories with and was a game i’ve bought so many times also the music in bt2 was heat especially the main menu music

I love the intro to this game maaaannn

This is by far the best DBZ game made ever. I consider it the best there was, the best there is , the best there ever will be .❤😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼 thanks for showing the best favorite personal DBZ game of my life.

I remember playing this game back in my softmore year in high school ‘07. I remember spending the summer break trying to beat the story and unlocking characters and learning move combinations.

This game was a core part of my and my brother and cousins' childhood. Hours were sunk into this and the 3rd game.

This is the stuff!

I'm just surprised you didn't mention the unique game mechanic that made this particular game so special. You can transform and power up OR down or start in any preferred form in the beginning!!! I loved starting off as Super Trunks going super hard on opponents then after charging up to max and knocking them around a bit, I would power down to regular Super Saiyan (still being charged) and use my ultimate Rush attack as a finisher. I could usually beat down 3 enemies with minimal damage to myself when setting up 1v5 at max difficulty. The struggle for the other 2 was fun without losing too much health or stamina.

i remember hating the tenkaichi series after playing only budokai games. some games reviewers said tenkaichi 2 was fun and immersive on the wii so i rented it. loved it. super fun and made me re think the tenkaiichi series. but ill still have to try it with a normal controller considering the wii remote made the experience way different.

Dbz is something I grew up with and it became sort of difficult to follow as I got older. The games in general did good to sort of bridge that but budokai tenkaichi 2 is what I spent most of my childhood on. Me and my friends doing tournaments on the hardest levels and playing them through even if we lost to the cpus. Just amazing. And the gameplay of the button combos and stuff was so fun I haven't touched a game since then that had that. The whole experience is so nostalgic

This was the game of my childhood right here. It will always hold a special place in my heart. My first DBZ game.

A friend in Middle School told me to play Budokai Tenkaichi and became a big fan of the trilogy.

My favorite game from of all time, have 2 copies and even played it yesterday at Dragon Ball Battlehour. Game is amazing.

2 definitely had the better soundtrack i also liked how you did the customization in 2.

This my favorite dbz game

8:46 i feel you man

The one thing this game has over every other dbz game for me is always the music. Its amazing how every game that has come out, none have gotten close to bt2. I need them to add bt2 to sparking zero even if its through DLC

I really don't play this one like I should, it's hard when you got BT3 da G.O.A.T., but so a good game.

Kakarot brought back that nostalgia feeling and now Sparking Zero is gonna bring me right back to being a kid again. From all the breakdowns I've seen the gameplay is almost 1:1 it's a true sequel/reboot. It's beautiful. I really hope the devs get it to a point they feel confident in releasing it. Still no release date I don't want it rushed 🗿

Didn't have 3 so this was my bread and butter,I loved the story mode

I was in my 20's when this came out and played it non stop on my PS2. It canonized the Movies which was awesome and every arc from the start of Z all the way to the end of GT. I hope 4 takes us from Dragon Ball all the way to the end of Super but harkens back to 2's World Map System and now expands upon that.

I absolutely love this game.

It explains why all your videos are basically my childhood lol we are both 28 going on 29

I wish I had these games in my childhood, the closest to this for me is dbfz but I just got that a month ago.

I used to save money buying Naruto games and dragon ball games on my GameCube and wii. I was so sad after finding out GameCube was left behind for Budokai 3 and infinite worlds. I got budokai Tenkaichi 2 for the over 3 because I loved gatebreaker so much and refused to the latest one that didn’t have it as the intro. Did not regret it, 3 has a larger roster, but 2 felt different it had a lot of small details I lived that aren’t in bt3.

Yeah this one's been my favorite of the Tenkaichi games too all these years. I feel it's almost as underrated as Budokai 2 is (yeah, I happen to like the Mario Party-style story mode for being more creative compared to other DBZ games). Tenkaichi 2 was a major improvement over the first one by including in-game transformations and the world map for story mode. Sure it got quickly outclassed by Tenkaichi 3's player roster, but it still has the superior story mode.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is the GOOOAAAAAT!!! I love that everything is locked in the beginning giving you the incentive to get through the game and unlocking everything yourself!!! I remembered the original trailer for the Japanese release, revealing all the Sagas being covered and all the unlockable characters!!! I was blown away when they revealed Great Apes and almost all the movie characters!! A TRUE classic: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ipZ7vNOoj8q4qtI.htmlsi=0ccRJCvZ414hQmCG

2 was PEAAAAK ❤️

This game shaped my childhood and ultimate love for anime games as a teenager. I'll be 19 soon, and Im still playing this in 1080p on emulator. And hey bro we're 10 years apart, HELL YEAH

BT2 is amazing, but BT3 is my favorite NOT because of the roster, but because it took everything BT2 did well with the gameplay and polished it that much more. By the time I got to BT3 I was well versed in the DBZ story, so playing it yet again wasn't needed, so it felt more like something to get through to get my unlocks while I can just focus on having fun 5v5 battles.

Maybe I missed you mentioning it but the game also has hidden alternate story lines. What if scenarios. Just makes the story that much more deep

"... And its still one of the best games of all time. Remaining different than Tenkaichi 3, allowing it to not become obsolete to its sequel." Is the rest of the title

BT2 may not have the largest roster of the 3 but it's got the best music.

This along with other games where traded in without my permission by my brother towards his PSP back in the day. This was my favorite DBZ fighting game back in the day and one of two fighting games I was actually good at. The other being Gundam battle assault 2. This one hit me in the feels, good to see it get some love.

Such a great game!!!!!!

That's the first and only game I thought "I don't know anyone who plays that better than me". Leave the challenge to anyone, I will shred you apart.

Put HOURS into this game as a kid and gonna do the same this summer when I get my modded Wii U updated🤝🏽

Shenron on the disc art brought back some memories man.

Bt2 was my fav ps2 game growing up, the music is legendary, the fighting was cool for it it's time. I really want a remaster of the 3 games after sz drops.

DBZ budokai tenkaichi 2 was my first dbz game and it holds too much nostalgia for me to forget 😮‍💨🔥

One of the best soundtrack in a dbz game in my opinion

There are a few moments from BT2's story mode that I'll always remember but chief among them is how I just couldn't beat complete the level where you fight Cell as Super Trunks until I recruited Master Roshi and jokingly switched to Master Roshi and proceeded to destroy Cell.

The ost is a banger

Please do a review on Golden Sun for your next video. It would be amazing!!

It's like retro rebound knows when the shit goes down to post

I too still play this game, it's one of my favorites in the entire DB series and of course after Tenkaichi 3, but who cares, both are awesome!!

I re-played this a few months ago through Android emulator on the Samsung Galaxy tab S9. Such a fun and long campaign to play through the story.

The best thing about this game is the custom fighting styles for literally every character OMG

Best Tenkaichi ever!

THE GOAT. When I met Sean Schemmel I had him sign my copy.

Great memories with this game except one, I played this game nonstop for days until the disc itself stopped working lmao
