    This title's adherence to both the substance and sytle of the show are what kept me playing it - and I'm not even a fan. [May 2002, p.88]

    It’s like that delicious piece of cake you receive at a party; scrumptious but anything but filling. Such is this, short indeed but an enjoyable experience while it lasts.

    I was frustrated by its slow, aggravating gameplay, but I still enjoyed it enough to keep playing and I hated to see it end.

    Battling enemies is both frustrating and boring thanks to touchy hit detection and extremely repetitive fights. [June 2002, p.122]

    Short, easy, and lacking in imagination.

    It's fairly basic RPG gaming, but it's got the fine details that'll please fans of the show. [May 2002, p.142]

    A sucky game. There's no two ways around it. The graphics are mediocre, the gameplay is utter crap, sound and music are redundant and forgettable, and don't even get me started on the story.

    I love DBZ, i played most of their games and beat them all. But,tho, this is a crap, the difficulty is freaking hard, and especially when itI love DBZ, i played most of their games and beat them all. But,tho, this is a crap, the difficulty is freaking hard, and especially when it limits you many stuff, you baely can even fly, making it even more harder to escape when you're in bad conditions. Also, the enemies are like bosses, you need to cross your fingers to kill the dam-- monster. And right in the beginning in the walk-throughout , there some snake, that arent visible to the human aye, at least in the sequels they improved a lot. It's just the beginning folks.… Expand

    Terrible. Es increíble que haya gente poniendole un diez. Top 3 peores juegos de GBA. Gráficamente mediocre, la musica no vale para nada, peroTerrible. Es increíble que haya gente poniendole un diez. Top 3 peores juegos de GBA. Gráficamente mediocre, la musica no vale para nada, pero lo peor de lejos es la jugabilidad. Para volar tienes que coger unas alas repartidas por el escenario, y el poder se gasta rapidísimo. Ademas a menudo te encuentras con que la plataforma a la que quieres volar estaba a otra altura, y te chocas y pierdes la habilidad para volar hasta que recojas mas alas. Goku solo pega puñetazos y lanza kamehamehas. Ya está. No hace nada mas. No hay combos, no hay saltos, no hay esquives, no hay bloqueos. Nada. Para colmo apenas agua tas tres o cuatro golpes antes de morir, y te mueves lentísimo. En los primeros minutos de juego te topas con perros que te destrozan de cuatro golpes, y son mas rapidos que tu, no puedes ni huir. Un perro que pega y corremas que Goku, creo que eso resume bastante la tremenda bazofia de juego que es. Ni te molestes, tiralo a la basura y busca otro juego.… Expand
