Watch the Dragon Ball Raging Blast Retrospective here -    • Dragon Ball Raging Blast the disguise...  

Raging Blast 1 felt like a bit of a downgrade from Spike's previous Budokai Tenkaichi series. Many of the flaws that had been addressed in the previous three titles had resurfaced. But Raging Blast was the start to a new series and for a new generation and the Budokai Tenkaichi didn’t get off to that great of a start either.

Raging Blast 2 was released in 2010, just one year after the first title. Many people consider this game to be one of the best DBZ games out there. So I was expecting quite a bit from the sequel. Something along the lines of the improvements seen from Tenkaichi 2, which was a huge jump in quality from the first game. So did Raging Blast 2 meet these expectations?

  • A note about your comment about Future Gohan, the reason he has both his arms is due to censorship reasons. They can't use one-armed Gohan, but to make sure that's still represented as accurately as possible, they animate him like he's still missing the arm anyways.

    As much as this game stumbled in some aspects I wish we’d have gotten a 3rd game so they could possibly address them also Battle or Z should be your next restrospective right...?? That’s gonna be interesting 👀
  • @ZYaKnoe249
    There’s a part of me that enjoys the Raging Blast series more than some aspects of the Tenkaichi series.
  • 14:32 The claim was "100 customizable warriors" which is actually fair, because you can customize each character independent of their form; base, ssj, ssj2, and ssj 3 goku can all have their own set of customization items, unlike the tenkaichi games which had the customization being universal for the whole character...

    To this day, I strongly believe this game has THE BEST combat of all dragonball games. Really wish the fan project of Raging Blast 3 came to exist. But my hopes for Tenkaichi 4 to be its successor is something I’m wishing for
  • @juswavvy9634
    Raging blast series is underrated it took dbz games to the next console generation(ps3 and xbox 360) the graphics was amazing and the fighting maps were HUGE
  • @tarz1109
    It feels so surreal to hear a retrospect on this game. I played it so much that I was among the top 100 or so players 😎, but never had anyone really stopped to talk about it. We mainly learned by doing Appreciate the absolute sheer level of depth in this video. It really takes me back a couple years
  • @jayherrera609
    Raging Blast 1 was incredible, Raging blast 2 You just had to have because it was far beyond expectations the player pool is nuts
  • @chrono2622
    The Kai cast is the Funimation cast, just with a few choice people recast due to trying to get more accurate voice work, scheduling, not wanting to return, etc.
  • @lucidmind9676
    Raging Blast was a decent series and of course looks better graphically but to me it never felt as fun as the Tenkaichi series specifically 2&3
  • @DannyWatchHow
    Future Gohan's arm being missing would probably higher the games age rating a little bit
  • @tkbuzz9936
    Love hearing you talk about all my child hood games, plus raging Blast is so nostalgic
  • I am so sooooo grateful that you are making this content. These Raging blast games were my entire childhood and its so nostalgic to see these again!!

    My favorite Dragon Ball Z Game of all time! I played this so much on the PS3, I hated the freezing loading screen bug though, lost so much rank to people from that bug lol, what great memories though! I used to lock people into combos that they could never get out of, what good times it was. You actually felt like one of the characters when you really got into the combos and blasted music for this game. I miss the multiplayer so much! One thing is for sure, time flies, and these memories will never be the same. Grateful I lived through the 90's onward! What a time to have lived!
  • @DavidLucian
    DBZ Raging Blast 2 will always be one of my favourite DBZ games to play, mainly because of the gameplay factor approach, DBZ Raging Blast 2 it's the best representation of Modern DBZ games that all the current DBZ games should be like in my opinion... 🤷🏻‍♂️☯️✌️
  • @kiwikratos
    Wow amazing! Glad you are feeling better!
  • AHHH I have been impatiently waiting for this one! One of my personal favorite DBZ games, though it has its problems like you mentioned. Still love the presentation and gameplay of this one. Thank you for all of the hard work and excellent analysis you put into these retrospectives, Hidden! Btw, been playing this one for YEARS and had no idea I could change the raging soul mode music!!!! I always avoided using it bc the supers mostly, but also bc I hate the default music lol Thanks for pointing that out!

    There is 2 more hints on gt, the 17 coat as a skin, and a nod on frieza's bio where they talk about an elisode kf gt, it is clear that they wanted to gt stuff on third game, but sadly never happened
