[@SoulGamingNL]

People say that RB2 needs 'Story mode' To be honest, I already know the entire story, and most people have played at least 3 dbz game with a story. After having so much repeat of the story, I kinda like just having random challenges.

[@croix759]

Seriously for me The fact that it has another mode instead of story mode is actually a positive.

[@xFlared]

Especially since RB1 Story is just cuscenes of them standing and moving their mouths. It is actually no different than in RB2 where they have roleplay fights in galaxy mode, but instead of standing and speaking in a cutscene they do it while fighting. RB1 story is like budokai tenkaichi, it's not anything like Infinite World, Budokai 1, or Burst limit where cutscenes had movie like value.

[@xFlared]

RB1 play out like budokai tenkaichi series. They just stand there with occasional attacks from ingame mechanics. It's nowhere near storymode cutscenes like budokai 1, burst limit, and ultimate tenkaichi that actually use the graphics engine to redo anime highlights.

[@supersaiyankb5779]

SoulGamer its not about knowing the story...and about how you present the story to the player so that the same hype from watching the series can be experience through you....no dbz game has been able too do it pefectly(tho some are close)..the still add story mode until its been perfected

[@maliciousnnutritious3910]

I see your point don’t get me wrong but I would’ve liked for it to be supplemented some how. Maybe a small compilation of what ifs that in total are about 20 or so hours worth of gameplay, even better if there’s branching paths that add replay ability and let us customize our characters stats and appearance

[@I.K.Slash.]

For the most part, if you play Raging Blast 1, you'll love it. If you play Raging Blast 2 after, you love it even more. If you play Raging Blast 2, then Raging Blast 1, Raging Blast 1 will feel stiff to you.

[@gabrielbro8083]

Facts

[@drag0nchampi0n]

Yeah that's what I did. I played 2 first, then tried to play 1 and realized it felt a little clunky.

[@premiumdude8353]

1 had a actual story mode, 2 had a better roster. 1 had better graphics. 2 had raging soul.

[@aoirice]

I only like Raging Blast 1 is because of the story. I didn't really like the Galaxy mode on RB2.

[@beyoncerouse3042]

I agree

[@vanikin4life]

Raging blast one is better than raging blast two and here is my reasons why and some maybe many people may agree with me who are the OG Dragon Ball Z fans from the 90s 1. it was the last game that I remember when I first bought it that had the original PlayStation 3 logo before they replaced the short PS3 box. Lol. Which I like the original logo better. 2. The colors was more brighter and a lot more anime than raging blast two. Plus the button mechanics was very easy to understand and play compared raging blast 2. 3. The third and final one which is the most important of the all and this is where the 90s generation will agree with me. This was the very last game that all the original Dragon Ball Z Funimation voice actors who voices these characters. It was a Until Raging blast 2 They replace 75% of the voice actors into the Dragon Ball Z Kai voice actors with Dragon Ball Z Kai version suck ass. Lol the OG version was better and the ocean dub a.k.a. the Canadian dub. Does anyone agree to my opinion? Lol.

[@elamaneceroscuro]

[@vanikin4life]

@@elamaneceroscuro maybe you should re look at the comparison side-by-side closely. The colors is brighter on raging blast one vs raging blast 2. Otherwise, you’re either color blind or blind

[@CallmeCalypso0219]

Ha you a lie

[@triplecrosscounter]

@@CallmeCalypso0219 nope raging blast 2 has that annoying ass shine on them that makes them look like they're made out of plastic just like in xenoverse

[@CallmeCalypso0219]

@@triplecrosscounter you're entitled to your opinion so no more arguing ,thank you for staying so calming and positive though

[@supersaiyankb5779]

@@triplecrosscounter i felt this. The graphics in RB1 is anime accurate. Its amazing.

[@SILK97]

I think the original rb is better by far. First of all it has a story mode. Second, the plastic graphics of rb 2 look terrible compared to the more anime looking style of the original. And this is kinda small, bt I like being able to see what my character will look like in game from the character select screen. In rb 2, you can't see what your character's costume is until you're fighting. And what are the fighting improvements in rb 2 that make it better than the original. I liked te cancel system of the original way more

[@ihefan9723]

King Savage97 I agree. Galaxy Mode in Raging Blast 2 was atrocious as well, with many bullshit missions thrown in there to "spice it up" such as defeating three Androids while starting at 1 HP.Yes, you can use an item to make that effect go away, but the missions you have to beat in order to unlock said items are ridiculous, such as that one where Cell has to fight both Vegeta and Trunks and in order to get Seal Near Death Start II you have to get all perfect actions, which means a 20 Hit Combo while you realize how gifted the AI is in hand-to-hand combat and promptly kicks your ass.

[@SILK97]

***** A DBZ game doesn't necessarily have to have the official DBZ storyline to have a story mode. Dragon Ball Xenoverse is an excellent example of having a story mode without resorting to Goku v Frieza, Gohan v Cell, etc

[@SILK97]

***** Obvious fact: I never said Xenoverse had a completely original storyline. But you can't argue that it wasn't unique and largely different from the story mode of average DBZ games. It wasn't the same old thing over again. This shows that you can still have a story mode without resorting to the usual storyline

[@CallmeCalypso0219]

You are a lie

[@vanikin4life]

Not only that but Raging blast one is better than raging blast two and here is my reasons why and some maybe many people may agree with me who are the OG Dragon Ball Z fans from the 90s 1. it was the last game that I remember when I first bought it that had the original PlayStation 3 logo before they replaced the short PS3 box.

[@booyacy]

1:30 Well,not exactly.I mean RB2 has some dialogue before a fight that is relevant to the manga/anime,most notabley the dialogue you get when you match Goku and saiyan saga Vegeta up.Also,the battles in galaxy mode have some relevance too.The boss battles are always battles that actually happen in DBZ and the team battles are often relevant,so galaxy mode isn't really completely random.

[@philip98livedk]

I agree for the most part, but on the graphics department, I actually think it's RB1, because it looks more like the anime :)

[@onepikeike6467]

I like Raging Blast 2 because of the ultimate combo that all characters can do but just in different ways with different buttons

[@destroyermcw626]

Raging soul combo in which I know ALL characters

[@logTopic]

One random complaint that I've always had about RB2 is how the changed the graphics. The character models have that gross, bulgy looking gradient on them, and I'll never understand why they decided to do that.

[@Olone23]

Do you think I should buy RB2 even if already have RB1 ? The last dbz I bought was Xenoverse, and yeah, it is cool for the "mmo" mode but not for the gameplay... And that's why I want to buy RB2...in 2016... x) Sorry for my english btw

[@brettwise8400]

I like dragon ball z raging blast 1 better for singleplayer and what ifs however dragon ball z raging blast 2 is better for graphics and multiplayer so I say yeah if you want to get it you want my friend have a nice day heres my gamertag for xbox 360 for when I get back online if you wanna play. brettwise1234

[@wyattbhoffman]

Galaxy mode can gives you new moves and costumes if you complete each little fight in each gaxley

[@VierArgonaut]

I think raging blast 1 was better

[@GBkites]

I agree. Specifically I prefer the look of raging blast 1

[@CodyHeldreth]

I think a better question is why didn't they just combine both aspects into one game?! One has story, the other has better gameplay. Where's the compromise?! All RB2 needed was a story mode and it would have been perfect! Instead you're torn between these two games because of one or two differences.(Excluding extra characters.)

[@wctushinski75]

Raging blast 1 had the character customization as well so you could put different skills and abilities and cosmetics on different characters. And that has a really good tetris-like block system to where you could only fit certain skills in the skills box if you had room for it. Being able to give Vegeta a red aura and have lightning surround Tien was really cool. Not sure why they took that out, more customization is always better

[@KnuxBrent07]

You can do that in both. You just have to earn the items

[@Homero94]

till now the best story mode in a DBZ game is the one from DBZ Budokai 2, that J-RPG like map where you could choose your party before starting the chapter was really cool, and you dont need to do the exact same fights that you have already made in other DBZ story mode

[@Snooopy28]

Well, for me RB 1 felt tons more responsible, and the enemy didnt feel that overpowered, and it was more or less fair, but RB 2s difficulity level made me punch the wall, multiple times, I know RB 2 is good, deflecting is tons easier, Snap Charges are easy to pull off, but RB 1 has modes like Survival, that makes me like it, and the customization feels better in RB 1 too

[@MinorBlackout]

I like RB2 better, but there's more cursing in RB1! :3

[@nicolasmcclelland]

to me rb1 is better because i like the story mode but rb2 is one to play if you like the fights more than story

[@chaospunishment]

"really? RB2 is a broken, glitchy mess where one person in the whole world can freeze the game at will"

[@JelloFluoride]

Basically, Raging Blast 2 is like the Xtreme Legends expansion of RB 1.

[@Medachod]

I feel you inadvertently said which one was better. You may said one was not better than the other, but you said one had a better story mode and one had better gameplay. If you ask me, that basically said Raging Blast 2 is better, given at the end of the day, whenever I play any Dragon Ball Z game with friends, same with most people, we always jump into multiplayer. And if it plays better, well, there you have it. Personally, if you are a huge fan of the series, buy Raging Blast for when it is just you and Raging Blast 2 for your friends. It is quite fitting in the names, really. "Raging Blast 1" play by yourself (one player), "Raging Blast 2" play with friends (two player). I feel like they planned this from the start, honestly.

[@trolledyears21]

I like raging blast 1 better because in rraging blast 2 if you could go into raging soul mode just button mashing could win the fight. even without raging soul all you have to do is button mash. in raging blast 1 you actually need skill to use all of the cancels and combos

[@ericdupree8603]

RB2 is more or less on the line for the people who have already read the manga, and have watched the anime ( Which is still awesome to watch) who are tired of the repeated stories. The gameplay tells the story, and the supers and ultimates just look nicer, especially Gokus kaioken movesets, as well as more team attacks.I mean do we honestly need a story mode after all this time my dbz fanz? If your new to dbz and know nothing about dbz, which I'm sure most people do when they buy the game, buy RB1 you'll be more satisfied ina nutshell.

[@JaviRichtofen7thst]

I feel like Raging Blast 2 is just a big DLC for RB1. Hopefully RB3 has the GT story and characters like in BT3

[@skoolerz1294]

RB2 is bad, RB1 is better, because RB1 had really the Dragon Ball feeling, it really had me when those days when i was around 7, now im 13, RB1 had the most good storyline and other modes, unlike RB2 when there is no storyline and just a Galaxy Mode, im crazy about the other people care about graphics and characters, i only care for the gameplay and the storyline. So please comment sensefully.

[@dennisbrowning2730]

At this point I don't really need a story mode because after watching the series and playing the other games I know almost everything about the story and the lore. I also finished reading the manga too.

And don't forget the Rocky and Apollo moment you can do in the game if you both get the same amount of hits in the melee collision it will go in slow motion and you'll both punch each other and it'll cancel the damage

I wouldnt know cause I havnt even played Raging Blast 2 yet, still waiting for it to go dwn abit cheaper. I always liked the design of Raging Blast characters best to other DBZ games and it has a smoother gameplay too. Still quite challenging to play through, even on normal mode Ive found.

RB1 has the superior soundtrack as well

[@aveilhu3508]

personally i like RB1 more i feel as though i am better at RB1 than RB2 and i honestly hate galaxy mode mainly because of the missions where you have to kill people before you go out of raging soul or whatever its called also to me the game controls smoother in RB1 than in RB2 but still they are both ok games i just dont like RB2 all that much
