When I played this game I grew addicted and beat it. Not to brag, but I even unlocked the secret skills like when you play as Mecha Frieza!

Story 9.7./10
Now that I know more about DBZ I feel like Atari rushed this game a bit. This game goes from the Saiyan saga to the Cell saga....But there are some things missing. For 1 thing the Trunks saga doesn't even exist in this game. And the part where choitzu fights Nappa or when Goku is on planet Yarderat or when Vegeta Krillan and Gohan fight most of the Ginyu Force isn't there either. But a while back I could've cared less.

Gameplay 9.7/10
I enjoyed the gameplay. Easy to learn, Great for doing special moves, all that stuff. I just wish there was a little more effort though. I Don't even think the spirit bomb was even in the game.

Tournaments 10/10
This mode is actually good for unlocking secret skills and to show off how good you are. If your lucky, you might win the hercule tournament mode where I think you fight until you beat Hercule and your the big champion {obtained when you beat the game}!

Graphics 10/10
3D-ish and great.

Bottom line: Great for newcomers and fans alike, Not much left when you beat the game though.
