DBZ2V, Gamecube vs PS2 "Budokai 2"

[finnishjuoppo]

So what is different in "Dragonball Z 2V" (versus which game? DBZ2?)?

Also what differences are there between the Gamecube's and PS2's "Budokai 2"?

Tell me, please and thank you!

I don't know much about any differences between the different languages, but a quick check on Wikipedia reminds me of how Japan got a special edition of the game at some point called DragonBall Z V2, which included Cooler as a playable character, Kuriza as an alternate skin for Freeza, and a bunch of characters pre-unlocked in some way.

The English, GameCube version of Budokai 2, showing up a bit later than the PS2 version, had a few extra bells and whistles, like slightly better graphics, a couple new costumes, and a few certain capsules and stuff that otherwise didn't show up until Budokai 3. Japan didn't get a GameCube version of the game.

Not quite. Dragon Ball Z V2 was given out to 1000 people in a contest in V-Jump. The game starts with everything unlocked, preset capsules for characters that can't be changed, and had Coola as an alternate costume for Freeza. While Freeza does have Kuriza as an alternate costume in V2, he also had it in the regular version of DBZ2. The only other difference I can think of is that the Tenkaichi Budokai had the V-Jump logo plastered all over the place.

Heres a video of Coola in action in V2.

The only aditions to the GameCube version of Budokai 2 were a costume for Piccolo (Cape and turban), a costume for Goku (battle-damage), and the Z difficulty level.

Ah.

I was just going off what Wiki said, my bad memory and all.

In addition to what's been posted, we do have a "Tidbit" on DBZ2V (thanks to Olivier Hague), and I posted up some random screenies of Kuriza from regular ol' DBZ2 back in November (scroll to the very bottom of the page).
