Released just a year after the original, the 2010 follow-up to developer Spike Co.'s high-def Dragon Ball brawler offers refined controls, an improved camera, and more characters. The game's story is told in a new action-adventure mode that takes place between the fighting-game styled battles. Over 90 characters can be unlocked for play, including more than 20 that are new to the Raging Blast series. Under the game's "Raging Soul" battle system, players can master combos and attack sequences that raise their characters' powers to the highest level. Characters speak in their original Japanese voices. Battle stages have been enhanced since the first game, for more interactivity and destructive effects, with four new battlefields in addition to the original ten. There are seven main modes of play, including offline and online battles against other players. Character items and accessories can be unlocked by conquering challenges in various game modes. The retail disc editions of Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 also include a complete Dragon Ball episode, titled "Plan to Eradicate the super Saiyans," which was re-written and re-edited from an episode of the Japanese anime series. Players who watch the entire episode will unlock an additional in-game character.
