It's a good looking game - we dig the little touches, like a trail being driven into the ground as you blast your opponent. By customising and increasing your powers, you're a little less likely to have your backside handed to you in battle - as we found after clearing the first few stages. Basically, each character has a base set of moves, and these can be customised on the Boosters screen. Happily, Budokai 2 takes the first game's move-sets and ups the responsiveness and flexibility. Adventuring is just a means to an end - games like this live and die by their fighting engine. At its core, combat is the focus of the game. The story branches out based on which foe you defeat and what choices you make along the way - which cities you save and how well you perform. To be honest, Shin Budokai 2 is hardly a true sequel - there is a new story to play through, simply titled 'Another Road', which pits Trunks against the nefarious Dabura, the pink, horned freak with giant ears and a dastardly goatee, and eventually Majin Buu.
