Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 (ドラゴンボール レイジングブラスト2, Doragon Bōru Reijingu Burasuto Tsū) is the 2010 sequel to the 2009 game, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast. It has been announced for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 consoles[1]. Namco Bandai and Spike. The game was released November 2nd in North America, and will release November 11th for Japan and November 5th for Europe, and sometime 2nd of November in Australia.
Development
First announced on May 3rd, 2010 in the Weekly Shonen Jump, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 will be sporting up to 100 characters, more than 20 of which are brand new to the Raging Blast series and 6 new to any Dragon Ball video game. New modes and additional environmental effects have also been included. Gameplay Edit According to Namco Bandai's producer Ryo Mito, gameplay will take a very similar approach to that of it's predecessor. [3] Destructible environments, and character trademark attacks and transformations will return and be true to the series. These include signature "Pursuit Attacks" which enable players to initiate attack combo strings, juggling the opponent in a string of devastating strikes throughout the environment. Additionally, Raging Blast 2 will sport the new Raging Soul System which enables characters to reach a special state, increasing their combat abilities to the ultimate level. Namco Bandai Games America has announced on their Raging Blast 2's story mode will be named "Galaxy Mode". It works like the story in Super Sonic Warriors 2 and Budokai 3, that you pick a character and play his or her respective story, with what if battles as well. At the end of each story there is a boss fight, which makes a powerful enemy, like Ultimate Gohan vs Gotenks Buu where Gohan starts with 1 HP.You can also unlock "Enchanted Characters" while playing some of the new Battle Modes (Battle Zone). Collector's Edition and Bonuses Edit Accompanying the regular release of Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is a Collector's Edition that has been confirmed only for a release in European countries and Australia, the Collector's Edition features include a laser-cell artwork from the 'Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate Super Saiyans' remake, 8 exclusive costumes (including Bardock in 'Cell Saga' armour, Turles in armour similar to Raditz and a lighter skin-tone to more resemble Goku and Piccolo in King Piccolo's clothing) and finally a 3D pop-up box. Along with the Collector's Edition, we've seen several pre-order bonuses (also alternates costumes) crop up on various websites, so far we only have six available, all split into packs of three, the first containing alternate clothing for Gogeta , Teen Gohan and Goku and the other containing alternate clothing for Vegeta , Trunks and Vegito.
So far it's been assumed that these will see release on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live, just as we saw with the bonuses in the first installment of the Raging Blast series.

Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate Super Saiyans Edit
A sample of the 2010 reanimated OVA. Added by TonyBest100 On August 10th, 2010, Namco Bandai announced a completely reconstructed, re-scripted, and re-edited version of an original Japanese OVA that has never been released in North America or Europe, Dragon Ball: Plan to Eradicate Super Saiyans. Originally known as Dragon Ball Z Gaiden: Saiyajin Zetsumetsu Keikaku (lit. Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans) in Japan, this OVA was released on VHS in two parts, and was an "Official Visual Guide" for a Famicom game of the same name. The footage from the OVA was put into two games for Bandai's Playdia. In 2003, it was put onto DVD and released with the Dragon Box. This new version is completely reanimated but, in accordance with FUNimation announcement, the OVA is not voiced in English but it has English subtitles. Every copy of Raging Blast 2 comes with this 30 minute animation on the game disc.
Reception and sales
Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 has received generally mixed reviews from game critics. The PS3 version currently holds a score of 60 on Metacritic , while the Xbox 360 holds a 59. [10] IGN.com gave the game a 55/100, stating "Overly complicated controls are put into a game where button mashing can win the day with ease, layered on top of no story and a host of unlockable pictures and other trivial things that only the most hardcore of Dragon Ball fans will enjoy." GameSpot gave it a 50/100, stating "Raging Blast 2's good looks and fan service can't conceal the shallow combat at its heart." [12] However, G4TV gave it a more positive review, awarding the game 4/5 stars
