    The sequel to the Legacy of Goku games, This is another quality installment for the series. They really spoiled the DBZ fans on the GBA with these games. Highly recommended.

    It has more new features in it, like defeating an enemy drop's money, since, is obviously that it will have the story from the series you already expect to play the selected characters that has the major role in the Buu saga. It also improved a little the graphics and the flying mode. Not a major improvement for what the last one did.

    Game informer, that review was not good. You gave the first game a 75. this is waaaay better than the first. To get the 4 star dragonball go to a place that is close to master roshi's Island. look for it.

    Awesome game, so many good times. I love the legacy series and this game was even better than both legacy games combined (except Goku can't use spirit bomb.) But even so, the game is amazing.

    Legacy Of Goku 2 & Legacy Of Goku 3 (Buu's Fury) are some of the best 2D open world action adventure games I've ever played. The critic reviews for this game are beyond awful, this game is sweeter than hot coco.

First, the game added equipment, which could be equipped to characters to alter their stats and provide various other benefits. The game also allowed players to allocate their own stat points, of which three were given per level. Also added was the ability to block by holding the R button, and also to energy block by holding the B button while blocking. Using the energy block slowly drains the user's energy gauge. Both techniques greatly decrease the amount of damage that is received from attacks. The game also added various other features such as fusions and the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan 3. Although many features were added, the ability to use charge attacks by holding and releasing the A button was eliminated. Players are able to play as Goku, Gohan, Goten, Vegeta and Kid Trunks in the game, with players able to unlock fusions with Gotenks and Gogeta.… Expand

    Esta bastante bien para un juego que pretende ser un RPG de Dragon Ball. Pero no se, ahí queda, sin pena ni gloria, se hace aburrido, repetitivo, en fin.

    Arguably the best of the DBZ RPGs on the Game Boy Advance, Buu's Fury adds enough in the way of bells and whistles to rise above both the Legacy of Goku games that came before it. The result is a somewhat above-par action RPG that can make for a pretty good time.

    The combat and RPG mechanics in Buu's Fury are relatively simplistic, but the game toes a nice line between accessibility and    Arguably the best of the DBZ RPGs on the Game Boy Advance, Buu's Fury adds enough in the way of bells and whistles to rise above both the Legacy of Goku games that came before it.

    The combat and RPG mechanics in Buu's Fury are relatively simplistic, but the game toes a nice line between accessibility and depth that make it just about as good as most action RPGs on the GBA. As such, the game is an easy recommendation for any fan of the DBZ franchise, though some may struggle to stay invested in the game or long enough to see it through to the end.    … Expand

    the game is... ''good'' but not great... could be better if there was a side quests, more stuff to do for the village and this game lacks the most important thing... ''side quests for villages''
