"Combining action, fighting and light role-playing game (RPG) elements, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will send players into a rich story mode that spans the entire Dragon Ball, DBZ, and Dragon Ball GT series. The game takes the acrobatic and intense 3D flying and fighting dynamic made popular in last year's hit and takes it to a whole new level with over 100 playable characters, 15 vast and vibrant 3D destructible environments, and nine different game modes, including intense single and multiplayer battles.
Of all the franchises around with hardcore fan bases, very few approach the rabid following of Atari's Dragon Ball Z games. Its fans gobble up each release with reckless abandon, enough so that the franchise has spawned multiple variations of the series, all based around fighting of course, but some with a strong leaning into other genres.
While Super Dragon Ball Z is intended for hardcore fighting fans, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is targeted at a much wider audience, seemingly even those who aren't yet into DBZ. It's a massive game, featuring over 100 playable characters, a number of which have never been in a Dragon Ball Z videogame before. There were only six on display in the build we saw at Atari's Pre-E3 event so we're not sure how Spike is planning on managing a roster that large and allow gamers to easily find their favorite fighters, but suffice it to say that nearly every DBZ character you could ever want is likely to make an appearance here..."

So basically, for those of you too lazy to read that small except or view those pages, the next game in the DBZ Budokai series in going to be on it's way at the end of 2006...for both the PS2 and what seems the Wii. Over 100 characters, the ability to transform in fights, etc.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
