The Dragon Ball series has always stood between mainstream and niche. While it may be one of the most popular anime and manga properties, fans of the fighting genre tend to look elsewhere for their combative cravings. This puts the latest DBZ endeavor, Budokai Tenkaichi 2, in a somewhat different position. It clearly wants a little more attention than its predecessors ever did.
IGN staffers first saw the game during a Pre-E3 event, and even then, it looked to outclass earlier titles in the series. Then the game showed up at Atari's booth during the actual event and did a good job of impressing onlookers. To remind everyone Tenkaichi 2 is alive and well, Atari showed it off last week during its Las Vegas event, which it calls Atari Spotlight. And, just like before, Tenkaichi 2 looks to offer more than the average DBZ title.
