Expert Reviews

67/100

score

The improved visuals are nice, and some of the additions made to the fighting system are fun, but Budokai 2 still comes out as an underwhelming sequel.

73/100

score

Light years better than the original game that was released last year. The controls are much better, the visuals are very similar to TV show, and it is an overall improvement.

74/100

score

The incredible improvement on load times alone (Budokai 2 loads about 3 times faster than Budokai 1) should be enough to excite its fanbase right out of the gate. Let alone its more balanced damage system, increased character roster, and better production
