Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury

"This Game Makes Me Like Buu!"

We DBZ gamers have been expecting this game forever. We knew that after the Cell Games came the pink terror known as Buu. But we had to know if this game was worth playing? Or was it just another Legacy of Goku 1? Well you're questions are about to be answered in this review.

Gameplay: The gameplay hasn't really changed all that much from Legacy of Goku 2. And I never said that that was a bad thing! They kind of enhanced this game to make it a little challenging (like Babidee's Ship) and some tough fights here and there. But the truth is...this game is far from being a challenge. It is incredibly straight forward and I wouldnt be surprised if you beat it on the second day that you bought it. This game is still a joy to play on the go and with new abilities like SSJ3, Instant Transmission, and a whole bunch of things to collect, this will keep a dedicated gamer searching and searching for those hard to collect items.

Graphics: To tell you the truth, the graphics haven't really changed at all. They did make the backgrounds a little better and the transformations are superb (i love the lil' aura!) but to tell you the truth they didn't really do enough to say that these graphics are new and right off the bat. If you are a DBZ fan then you will love the graphics. If not then you will just think that they are just another average game on the GBA.

Sound: They did everything right. they have the Buu saga right in there and if you have even watched a few episodes of it you will recognize it almost right off the bat. They did everything almost perfectly. I have almost no complaints exept that after awhile the music does get a little repetitive. I mean when you're in cities and in dungeons and stuff. Other than that I have no complaints.

Controls: If you played Legacy of Goku 2 you will feel right at home. There are some new controls like the map and scouter. But now you can actually block. It may sound like you won't need the block button( R button) but you will need it trust me. Because some enemies are so cheap it's not even funny.

Replay Value: you have the Hercule and Z Exhibits to collect after you get done playing through the story and if you do something special you will unlock something special. I'm not telling either.

Final Opinion: this game is great if you are away from home alot and if you need something to do. Go get this game because the story is simply great for someone who didn't get to see the whole Buu Saga. What are you waiting for. Get out there and beg your folks to get that present early!
