A new let's play emerges - Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2! I've already played the original DBZ Budokai on the channel already (the remastered version on the Xbox 360), so it only felt right to play its... very divisive... sequel! Although, this is on the PlayStation 2 because this apparently didn't deserve a remaster.

So why is Budokai 2 divisive? Well, between the random changes in story, the board game mechanics in the Story mode AND the lack of cutscenes outside of basic manga-style dialogues with bits of animation, there is a lot of hate for Budokai 2. Me personally? I love this game! It added so much to the original Budokai in the way of characters, story, skills - it's genuinely so fun. And I like the board game - yeah, I said it.

In this video, we're taking on Stage 1 of the game, which means Goku and his chosen ally Piccolo take on the deadly Saiyan scourge - Nappa AND... Raditz?! Yeah, Raditz is here with Nappa, not Vegeta. I did say there were changes, didn't I? Anyway, let's see how this episode goes!

Finally, I wanted to say this (I already made a community post on this already) - Rest in peace to one of the biggest influences in my life, Akira Toriyama. DBZ was my childhood - I grew up with this show and the profound effect this world has had on mine isn't describable. You can probably guess why I wanted to play a DBZ game that was a favourite of my childhood. Devastating news; the world has lost a legend and icon.

[This is Episode 1 of a multi-part series.]
