First of all, this game is not a GBA adaptation of any of the original Japanese NES/SNES/GB games. This game's been developed in the United States by Infogrames and it's totally NEW!!

It's an RPG/Adventure game with fighting elements... It follows the storyline of Dragonball Z from the arrival of Raditz up to the last moment in the battle of Super Saiyan Goku vs. Frieza. I preordered this game just in case it's gonna be as popular as they predict, and here at Amazon, it's [less money] than anywhere else!! And there's lots to look forward to! The DBZ CCG is coming to GBA as well as a GameCube/PS2/Xbox version of a DBZ Adventure game... And that's not all! The Legacy of Goku is the first in a series of three games! the other two will cover the Cell Saga and Majin Buu Saga! This is a must have for any Dragonball Z, Animé, or RPG lover!

Dragonball Z: The Legasy of Goku is so cool! If you like the show you will love this. Just like the show you are Goku, and your son Gohan is kidnapped. You first have to complete tasks to increase your experiance points. Some tasks you are required to do and some are optional. The more you do the stronger you get. Your first boss is Vageta. If you get close to winning he, like the show, transforms into a giant monkey, and then Yajourobie cuts off his tail. This is the best game ever!

I preordered this title because im a big fan of Dragonball Z...I didnt even have a GBA at the time so if that tells you anything :) This game is basically a redo of the Super Famicom game but it is great in its own right. You start out as Goku who has to rescue his son Gohan from his evil saiyan brother Radditz... You begin by fighting low level forest animals... wolfs, snakes, giant crabs, while then moving up to bigger opponents such as dinosuars in the beginning until you confront Radditz. You have a basic Ki blast attack to start with then you learn more advanced attacks such as solar flare, Kamehameha wave etc. There are interesting side quests that you have to complete to kind of detour you a little which makes the game that much more interesting. This installment bascially gets you from where Goku and the rest of the Z fighters have to battle the saiyans up until the mighty battle with frieza. All in all well worth your money and I cant wait for the next DBZ game for the GBA to come out, I gave it 4 stars because there is no multiplayer option.... it would have been great to battle or play with friends. Also trust me and check out Tactic's Ogre for the (GBA) another great title.

When I played this game on the SNES in Japan I was blown away. I havn't even seen anything about this game accept 2 screen shots, and a review that totally described the SNES version. The thing is that it can be exactly like the TV show, but doesn't have to be. I mean by doing a few hings in a different order you can have it exactly like the show. (SPOILER)If you keep Vegita alive during the Frieza Fight, at the end after the credits you will play as SS Goku against SS Vejita. It is amazing with Goku's Kamehameha and Vejita's Final Flash. WOW!

I'm a HUGE DBZ fan and when I always wanted to play a DBZ video game. So when I heard that Nintendo was making a GBA game I was totally thrilled. When I got it, I was very dissepointed. First of all it was to short. The game lasts about 2-5 hours. The controls are pretty awful; you walk way to slow and you can't fly for very long at all. And then there's the fighting. You learn 3 ki blasts and you punch. It might have been cool if there was turn-based fighting but it is the action fighting like in the Zelda games. It gets pretty annoying, considering how slow you move. And in the beginning of the game you can get killed by things like dogs and crabs. Since when does the stongest being in the universe get killed by dogs? There are some problems with the Super-Saiyain part too. The graphics, are actually quite good! There is alot of detail and you can really tell the charecters apart. The sound is above average and the movie parts are cool. The plot basicly followsthe anime but there are things that happen in the game that don't happen in the anime.And there are afew flaws like that you learn the Kamehameha Wave from King Kai. Over all, the game was a Major Dissapointment. I could imagine a good DBZ fighting game or something, but... Ya.

This is an awesome DBZ game that takes Goku all the way through the Frieza saga. U get to fight Frieza in all his stages, Raditz, Nappa, Vegita, and the Ginyu Squad. U start at level 1 and can work ur way up to level 25. There are 3 energy attacks: Solar Flare, Ki Attack, and the third is Goku's infamous specialty. U can also punch. U can go super saiyan only once when frieza reaches his final stage, but there isn't any difference except for gold hair and a little faster walking speed.Its a fun game, but awefully too short. U can't level up enough, and it always seems like ur plaing hit and run. If u stay too long, even at level 25, u'll get roasted by the few enemies. I beat the game in one day without any help, too easy!

A suberb game the garphice are excellent and the story line is pretty much like the snes game. you can go to a trainer to either gain money or raise your ki and you start off looking for gohan and fighting raditz. it ends when your goku and you turn supersaiyan and defeat freiza. if you are looking forward to the gamecube version then buy this one as you will be able to unlock loads of stuff like hidden chacters with this game.

Well..this is an action/rpg game..this is like the same as the snes game called Legend of the Super Saiyan.The game involves Goku going through the same life as the tv shows..he will goto snake way etc.most of the game is an action,rpg style
The raising ki and hp thing is like raising your level,power and magic..so this game will take a fair bit of time..this is a little portion of the game.
Protector of the City I am the Great Saiyaman!!

...Personaly...I LOVE DBZ!!! This is an exellent game. The music comes from the actual show wich should be an ear opener to many fans. The beautiful and amzing graphics make me want to leap 1,000 feet into the air. This is a must buy for anyone who is looking for a great buy. The game is cut off into three sagas wich come from the show. Along the way are side quest wich allow you to build up your abillities. Overall, even if you aren"t a fan of the show or previous games....YOU MUST BUY THIS AMAZING AND EXCELLENT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought this game because I was really little when I first saw DBZ and I dont remeber any of it...of course I was a complete and total idiot because I didn't know they were showing all of the sagas again... I'm usually quite bad at these games, but it took me 4 hours 10 min. to complete the game...with doing all of the quests they threw in. The basic story line is that you are Goku. You can fly and you can send out ki blasts, but the problem with flying is that you have to find these items to permit you to fly. Another problem is that you die SO easily at the begining, a wolf can kill you. You have to fight your enemies to grow levals and become more powerful. I have two hints get up to leval 11 before you fight Raditz and get up to the final leval (25) before you fight the Ginyu Force. You don't have to, but it is MUCH easier to win that way. Well, Its an ok game because it is too short and they added in too much crap.
