"Figures the PAL gamers get the best DBZ games, and we get the worse..."

As the Synopsis says, it is 100% True. All the American DBZ games, Final Bout, Legacy of Goku, that crappy one on the NES, they all suck. While the Japanese and the Europeans get the best DBZ games, and this game is the best example!

Story - 10/10
You watch the show, you read the manga, you know damn well this game is excactly like what happens in the show/manga! Its damn funny though when your a hidden character, like Napaa, going through the game! =P Piccolo training Nappa...riiiiiiiiight...

Graphics - 8/10
The map colors are pathetic, but the Battle Animations, oh the battle animations, are what brings this up from a 6 to a 8! These battle animations are awesome! The battle animations are the ONLY thing that make the graphics totally kick ass. Everything else, will just want you to puke. But don't puke, remember, it's only Gameboy Color.

Sound - 5/10
The sound is not that big of a deal really. The music is really annoying, maybe cause its from a Gameboy Color. =P Trust me, this is the main flaw. The main plus, is, oh yeah, THE GAMEPLAY!!!

Control/Gameplay - 10/10
If you've played Legend of the Super Saiyan, which most haven't, you know what this is like, but yet you don't. This game, which lasts from the Saiyan saga all the way to the Buu saga, is Part RPG part Card Game. But this Card Game is very easy to figure out and play, even in another language. You attack with the cards you draw, as long as you have enough C.C. to do the move, so don't expect Masenkos right when a fight starts! The main map though is a little weird however. Its just weird, can't really explain why.

Difficulty - 8/10
Not too hard, not too easy, just right. Expect to try again and again on a certain fight. You won't win most on your first attempt.

Replay Value - 7/10
I haven't found any yet, but there are hidden characters you can unlock by doing certain things. Really, I have no clue how there can be Hidden Characters in a RPG, but it should be neat.

Overall - 9/10
Overall, this game is THE best Dragonball Z game I've EVER Played! Damn PAL and JPN gamers...getting all the good DBZ games. >_< Sometimes I get sooo jealous of them!
