DBZBT2

Why was the music changed from the classic japanese bgm,
To some cheap random music for the american release?

When i first saw the tenkaichi2 previews i was like,
(awesome, old japanese dragonballz music to injoy)

But when i get the game,
I get some edited crap and a load of disappointment.

Please do not add in line breaks after every sentence. It's OK to just keep typing when you're following the same train of thought.

To answer your question, it's nothing new, and shouldn't be a shock to anyone. Up until FUNimation's inclusion of this new dub track on their "remastered" DVDs (and the 1997-1998 movies 1, 2, & 3 aside), they've pretty much stayed as far away as they could from acknowledging the original Japanese score in conjunction with anything related to their productions. The American adaptation of Sparking! got recycled Budokai music, and the sequel got all-new stuff. Let's not forget that any and all vocal songs have always been removed from games when they retain their original BGM (Final Bout, Budokai games, etc.).
