A vast improvement over the first game. The game is much sharper in the gameplay and in graphics, and is a much more enjoyable experience all around.
-
It is easily one of the best Action RPGs on the Game Boy Advance and one of the best licensed titles available for the handheld console.
-
A nice RPG for the GBA that even gamers who aren’t too familiar with the series will enjoy. If you’re already a fan, all the better.
-
A far better game than last year's offering.
-
The graphics are bright and colorful, the gameplay is simple but addictive, and the quest is long and full of things to do.
-
A testament to just how thoroughly a game can be improved in its second coming.
-
Cheat Code CentralWebfoot actually improved just about everything in this sequel. They probably didn't have to but fans will be glad they did.
-
The music may be the best feature of this game (And this is a pretty decent game.) The developers did a fantastic job of recreating the series compositions for the small speakers of the GBA.
-
You can expect 20-25 hours of gameplay from Legacy of Goku II. It’s all standard adventure gaming stuff with a dash of RPG thrown in to spice things up.
-
Better than the first in every category.
-
The game's primary goal is to distill roughly 38 hours of TV episodes into 15 or 20 hours of hands-on gameplay, and it succeeds at doing so.
-
I like the characters though, and Webfoot Technologies has really done a good job of taking DBZ and turning it into a game.
-
Game InformerA slightly above-average game with unrealized potential. [July 2003, p.122]
-
Fans of the series will like this game. It controls well, follows the story of the show almost religiously, and has some replay if you like leveling up.
-
Pocket GamesThough the action portions could still use some tweaking, Legacy of Goku II is a better effort all around that is bolstered by colorful graphics and catchy music taken straight from the TV show. DBZ fans can buy this with confidence. [Fall 2003, p.45]
-
Play MagazineTo date, the essential DBZ gme. Go Atari! [Aug 2003, p.76]
-
GameNowWhile its gameplay is neither fantastic nor bad, overall, it's a solid action-RPG that does a great job of capturing the phenomenon on which it's based. [July 2003, p.50]
-
GMR MagazineBetter than the original in almost every respect. [Aug 2003, p.80]
-
Nintendo PowerThe play control is responsive and intuitive, but the difficulty is high from the first battle. [July 2003, p.146]
-
Although the core gameplay’s still pretty mundane, nearly all the faults of the original have been fixed. The control’s much more forgiving (you can actually land combos now), the graphics aren’t so drab anymore, and the music’s a dead ringer for the anime soundtrack.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyThe overarching plot is fittingly epic and the graphics are fine, but plebian puzzles and problem-fraught combat guarantee frustration in this humdrum quest. [July 2003, p.123]
