    As much as I fell in love with this game, it isn't going to please everyone. It is short, easy and can be difficult to follow if you aren't familiar with the story already. It also sports a dated design, and I can't see anyone but the superfans forgoing all the other amazing games out right now to play this one.

    Almost all fans of Dragon Ball will love Revenge of King Piccolo. The only annoying downside is that not all conversations have voice-overs, which makes you miss out on some of the typical humour. The gameplay feels a tad old, especially since you can compare it to Double Dragon. Personally, I loved that, since it's simple and addictive, whether you like Dragon Ball or not.

    The main story mode is short, and there isn't enough depth to the battle system to keep tournament mode relevant for long. Still, Dragon Ball fans will still have a great time with this one.

    The combination of classic game genres make for a title that is balanced, engaging, and loyal to the franchise. Once more, if you are a fan, don't hesitate to try this one out.

    Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo isn't the best game about Goku and his friends, but it's an awesome way to introduce yourself in an accessible and fast pace gameplay. Also, the game's fidelity is prominent, so fans will be happy seeing Goku flying Nimbus once again.

    With the beat 'em up genre making a resurgence lately, future developers need to take some notes from this great, but flawed, tale from Dragon Ball.

    The game is a nice action/adventure, with an interesting combat system. But when it comes to the beat'em up section, it lacks depth and the fun disappears.
  9. Worth Playing
    75
    In short, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo is a good, but not great, brawling platformer.

    este juego lo jugamos en directo y nos parecio bastante entretenid, es muy nostalgico y con muchas referencias al primer anime de dragoneste juego lo jugamos en directo y nos parecio bastante entretenid, es muy nostalgico y con muchas referencias al primer anime de dragon ball, el gameplay es como un homenaje a los juegos de los 90 de super famicon o super nintendo para los compas, los controles son normales y facil de ocupar, la musica esta bien pero ocupa varias canciones de otros juegos de dragon ball como el dubokai tenkaichi y el ragin blast, hay 2cosas que no me gustaron uno que casi el 90% del juego son texto y muy poca cinematica y que el juego es muy corto y el indice de audiencia no fue mucha tampo asi que el interes del publico a sido meh

It is however one of the most true to the anime/manga games of Dragonball out there. The multi-player is pretty poor, but that is clearly NOT what this game is about. Most of the levels in the single player are pretty good, some however do drag on a bit, slowing the pace of the game. I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of the series, not anyone else though. As fans could let some bad level design slide for the great cut scenes scattered throughout the game. Slight shortness and occasional suckiness drag the game down however.… Full Review »
