4.0 out of 5 stars a dissapointment
Keep in mind that I am a fan of the show and own 4 sagas, but this game was awful. Combos are unrealisticaly hard hard, like one is down, down, right, right, left, left, down, down, right, right, left, left, punch, punch (something like that anyway). Also, you only power up when do an attack. The game is short and repetitive. The unlocking characters are dull because...

2.0 out of 5 stars an okay game
for what this game lacks in graphics it makes up in story and characters. i like the fact you can get broly and his cool special atack, but others are all wrong. like krillins head looks like an oversized bowling ball.(android 18 too!) atleast krillin uses his huge head for an attack. overall it's an okay game. buy it if you have nothing better to buy.

I would seriosly advise the legacy of goku over this pice of junk.

2.0 out of 5 stars don't buy unless you would die for DBZ, June 7, 2005
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu (Video Game)
This game was horrible! There was no story line and the graphics sucked! The unlockables weren't that good and by the time you mash the buttons to do a special attack, the opponent is dead! There wasn't any differences between the characters besides the looks. They all had almost the exact same attacks. There's no storyline at all! Playing this stupid game, made my buttons on my GBA go soft!

4.0 out of 5 stars okay i guess, February 22, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu (Video Game)
this game is okay. it definitely could have been much better. the modes and bios and pictures are great, but the gameplay isn't all that good. the fighting is good yes, and the combos are fun to do as well as chalenging. the graphics are excellent for gameboy advance, and the best i've ever seen. the bad things about this game that make it only 3 out of 5 stars are:
1) no challenge whatsoever in unlocking characters, bios or pictures.
2) this game gets VERY boring VERY fast. (it's a good thing i rented it and didn't buy it)
3) it is hard to play on the gamecube gameplayer, which allows you to play GBA games on the big screen
4) attacks do no damage and it takes forever to beat someone. NOT a good game to play on the way to a restaurant or something because it takes so darn long
5) to hard to fly and you have to do a "burst mode" while flying. you can't kick and punch normally in the air
any fan of DBZ or budokai 1/2 should try out this game, BUT take my advice and rent this game before buying it

2.0 out of 5 stars WORST DBZ GAME EVER!!!, May 29, 2005

metal rocker "Brian" (Dark side of the Moon) - See all my reviews
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu (Video Game)
This is by far the worst DBZ game I have ever played! I own all the DBZ GBA games including the newer fighting game "Super Sonic Warriors". I got Taiketsu without reading any reviews. I cant believe I was soooo naive to buy this game! I was so dissipointed by the small limit of moves to do, the corny looking graphics, and its really hard to do combo moves! I was so upset that I wasted $25 on it that I pretended I liked so I felt like I got my moneys worth. Dont buy this game if you want to play a good DBZ GBA game then get Super Sonic Warriors which is a trillion times better!

3.0 out of 5 stars Whoever designed this thing needs to be slapped., December 27, 2004

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu (Video Game)
I saw the advertisment for this game and figured I'd try it out. I spent 30 bucks on this thing and was hoping it would actually be worthwhile.....

Graphics: 8- The graphics are pretty good for 32-bit GBA. Energy blasts are the highlight of the Graphics department, when Goku unleashes a huge Spirit Bomb it looks pretty sweet. Yep. It's probably the best thing about the game, not that that's saying much...

Sound: 6- Most of the Sound is annoying, but two or three songs are pretty good. There are a couple power-chord driven rock beats on the game, and since I like hard rock, I liked that background music somewhat, but the rest I didnt care for.

Gameplay: 5- Ehh, who cares. The gameplay wasn't very good. You had about 3 different Specials maximum. It wasn't like Hyper Dimension where each character had dozens of moves. Each character has their signature move along with a really big one. Goku's signature move is Kamehameha, of course, and his ultimate move is Spirit Bomb, which includes a cut scene. The worst part about the gameplay is that (A) You can be extremely cheap by just pressing the Kick button and Forward continuously until the opponent dies, and (B) The limited number of moves you can perform.

In addition to those minor problems, the game isn't very long. There are about 8 characters to unlock, including Broly. That, and after each battle with the GBA you earn points which you can use to unlock Bios, pics from the show and other stuff that no one actually cares about.

I successfully completed the game within a couple hours. And did I mention the Difficulty Levels dont actually DO anything? Easy is just as difficult as Hard. In fact, sometimes Hard is easier than Easy. What happens on the Hard difficulty level is that sometimes the opponent will just stand there and let you beat them to death until when they're almost dead, and THEN they'll start fighting back. It was a VERY irritating aspect of the game.

Final Score: 6- It was okay, it kept my attention for a while......At least until I had mastered every facet of the game, which didnt take long. One of the main problems was how limiting the game was. You could only perform a couple Specials and the game was pretty short overall. I'd say it would be worth Renting, beating the crap out of it, then never playing it again.

This review is from: Dragon Ball Z: Taiketsu (Video Game)
Dragonnball Z Taiketsu is so awesome with 25 characters to play with.Flight action and you can go to thier highest form that means Goku can go supersayin 3,Vegeta can go supersayin 2,Gohan can go supersayin 2,Broly can go supersayin,and Gotenks can go supersayin 3 so if your a Dragonball Z fan you have got to get this game you can even go in maujin buu's stomach wich means Gogeta's in the house!!!
