Story (7/10)
This release focuses mainly on the Android Saga and the Cell Saga of the Dragonball Z television series. It begins as Gohan and Trunks in the future battle the Androids and Trunks decides he must travel back in time to make sure the heroes of the present are prepared for the evil Androids.
The story skips around a lot just like the first Legacy of Goku release, but not nearly as much. More characters are available to control this time, which fixes a lot of the skipping because Goku is not the only one fighting.
Gameplay (8/10)
The game in general has not changed much from the first release. The big difference is that this title is much more open-ended. More locations are available and can be traveled to whenever the gamer feels like it.
Fighting still contains typical hand-to-hand combat as well as chi blasts from various techniques.
Goku, Gohan, Trunks, Vegeta and Piccolo are the characters used in the game.
Graphics (8/10)
No drastic change from the first release. Solid graphics that represent the series well.

Final Thoughts:
If you have not watched the show, do not play the game. The gaps left in the storyline will be confusing and the game itself will not be very entertaining. If you love the show, the game is well worth buying.
