    A very impressive, addicting, and fun Rpg, set in the saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z. This game was done very well, and is reminiscent of the Dragon Ball Z rpgs on the super nintendo. The battle system, and leveling up, as well as the story progressions, and giving characters like tien and yamcha more backstory within the story, and just the overall execution was done really well. awesomeA very impressive, addicting, and fun Rpg, set in the saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z.

    A brilliant game- following the basics of RPG's faithfully following the series main story. While it doesn't add anything to the established series nor is innovative in game play mechanics- it is a game made specifically for fans of the series. So don't go expecting one of the greatest games ever made.

    An attempt to ape the early Final Fantasy games incorporating the characters from Dragon Ball Z. Obviously not very original but it has some charm and is one of the better entry level RPGs aimed at kids.

    What it is, though, is about as good a Dragon Ball Z game as anyone's going to make. [Dec 2009, p.87]

    The last installment of Dragon Ball in the portable market is a notorious RPG game of classic style... maybe too classic for the times.

    Not exactly what fans would call "Super Saiyan," but certainly good enough.
