I remember in 1996 when my mother took me to a game store in manhattan to check out a chip to play japanese games & I came across this beautiful site. I love dbz & as a kid it was like the bible to a church attendee. I saw this game & said "MOM, I MUST HAVE THIS!!". Luckily, I had the money to get Dbz: Legends & an action replay to play japanese games on my ps. Let me tap into my childhood memories to do this long overdue review.


Story- The game starts from the raditz saga (Where goku finds out was a saiyan who was sent to destroy the place he grew to protect & that he had an older brother with insane hair) up to the end of the baby buu saga.


Gameplay- I loved the gameplay from this dbz game solely because you could fly up in the clouds & do your fighting just to get smacked down (DBZ Style) to the ground. I also loved how you could have 4vs4 battles & switch between the four people you chose just in case one of them were getting spanked by the cpu. There were also some cool challenges where you yourslef was put up against 4 characters & you had to stand alone. I LOVED THIS GAME! Especially how when you wanted to fly away you would form the aura around your body & could also smack your opponent through small boulders.


Graphics- The graphics were cool enough for the time this game was released. I mean you could hardly see your characters eyes or face because they were so small, but I really did not care back then. One thing I do laugh at now is the way they fired energy balls....they looked like you were shooting jelly beans out their hands. Lol! I still loved it though. One othet thing that I also say "WOW" to now is that you actually had to pummel your opponent in order to get a blue or red bar to go your way to do the super. LOL!


Music- The music was ok, but has nothing on the later dbz games released.

Summary- The game was a great game to me as a kid & I would still play it for a little old school gaming time. If you are a dbz fan then this should be in your collection.
