Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku
is a very well-made game for the handheld system, GameBoy Advance. The game
takes the role of a hero named Goku, from a anime series called Dragon Ball Z and
puts you in the sagas of the show Sayian-Namek sagas. It's also easy to play.
You must save your son, Gohan, from your evil brother Raditz, meeting and
gaining many allies and foes along your way to finding your son. When you defeat
Raditz he tells you that there are more of his race, saiyans, coming to Earth.
You then must train and level your poer up to be ready for these saiyans. After
that you travel through space to the planet Namek and face an evil alien -
Frieza - and that is the end of the game. It sets itself up for a sequel, of
course.
The graphics, sound, and playability aren't that good for the type of game it
is and would've done better as a RPG such as the Final Fantasy games. However,
it has some good detail put into it. The sound is the same thing over and over
and it could drive you crazy if listened to long enough.
Playability can be very frustrating and hard. The simple enemies along your
journey are even harder, then with the bosses you have hardly any chance. Other
stuff besides fighting are very easy and controllable. I recomend this game for
ages 13 and up because of the difficulty.
