    This is a quality game that will take you by surprise. One of the better games on the system but still not the best in the series. Well worth a purchase.

    It was a pretty good game, despite the short gameplay.

    This game is awesome! I don't understand all the bad reviews, this game is one of the best dbz games ever and I've played all the Japanese imports, Legacy of Goku is 1000 times better than those.

    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 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 theI love DBZ, i played most of their games and beat them all.

    DBZ is the first anime I ever watched, goku is the default idea for a hero in any anime and the idea of him been in his own game was really cool. I played this game a lot when I was eleven and it was not great, in fact it was not fun at all. I recently played that game and the first thing I noticed was that my health goes away way to fast. Goku is just to weak and dies really easily, theDBZ is the first anime I ever watched, goku is the default idea for a hero in any anime and the idea of him been in his own game was really cool.

Goku is just to weak and dies really easily, the story is told right and that's the best part of the game. Everything else is garbage to be honest, the enemies are pretty horrible and most are just animals. Goku can learn other powers but again the whole rpg part of this game is really broken, I give this game a four out of ten because of the fact that its just a chore to play this game. I do like the story but all the actual game play is just not worth the time.… Expand

    Terrible. 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.

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

    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.
