Fun or Flop? | | Trevor Sell from Tyrone, Pa, USA says (24/Aug/2000): | I like Dragonball Z and when i first saw Dragonball Z Legends, I thought what is this? I started playing it and once I got the hang of the game it was great. Yes, at first glance it looked pretty bad in graphics, but what can you expect from a game that is so old. The fun factor is amazing. I especially like how many characters you have for the two player mode after you beat the game. The sound is a little bad. The punches and kicks sound more like a jackhammer.There isn't a lot of different music in the game, but I hardly notice the music anyway. The gameplay is different to any game I've seen. It is a little confusing when you can't see who you are in two player when the view is so far away. Once you get the hang of it, it's really fun. This game is very one-of-a-kind. I've never seen anything close to it. The beginning movie is pretty cool. I like the 3D dragon. I also like the different attacks that the characters have and how the game follows the story line of Dragonball Z in little sequences between battles. Overall, it's a really good and fun game that I recommend to those Dragonball Z fans if you don't mind ordering it from the internet.
| Read if your a mild fan and/or enjoy a fun game! | | Dale from Illinois, USA says (11/May/2001): | Now im not a INSANE FANATIC(Ex. BEST GAME EVER!!!), but i do really like DBZ, I also like games if they're fun, not annoying, not too hard or easy, and the graphics are ok or excellent. I read the reviews and everybody said it was good good good. Well I got it, and its alright, it is like the show as far as flying and punching is concerned. What's also nice is you can choose 3 guys at a time and switch between who you control. You don't neccessarily hurt anyone with hits or kicks, just move the "power balance bar". The controls are terrible, manual ki shots are teeny little yellow balls and thats it. Getting control of your character is very hard and makes some levels down right impossible. If you're a die hard fan, then yes, get it, but if you want a fun fight game, get GT, or this.
| The most electrifying dragon ball z game ever!!!!! | | Mitchell Faulkner II from snellville, Ga USA says (16/Aug/2001): | i have this game and it is a great game compared to the other two dragonball games out there ( UB22 and final bout) the sound in the game is quiet when you start there is no sound at the character selection screen i don't like that umm the camera view is perfect when you play one player but two players thats a different story in one player mode you almost have infinite free motion but in two player mode you are limited to the size of your tv screen so evassive monuvers are impossible when playing against 2 players and you alone but on 1 player i can take on three computers at one time its easy also i would seriously like to say that what the other reviews didn't say is that you cannot do ki energy attacks (big ones i mean) manually they are automaticly done for you when you win the power balance fight and then the ki is random the vioces are ok and the backgroung is just slopped on there like for example when you have super saijin goko 3 and he does his huge kamehameha the back ground and the ground itself is not dameage now any one that watches dbz knows that the mountian whould be gaon and the graound whould have a huge crater but oh well.and also they should have had yamcha tein and chaozu at least cuz they were in some of the saga's namely napa and vegita but oh well the game is very easy to me once you learn every thing i can beat the whole game on hard by myself alone with krillin and on the specials if they didnt make me have to pick vegetto and things like that.moves are a series of repetetion which gets boring after awhile but still fun to look at but on the positive side the power balance is sure genious that allows the fight to have the potential to last like te battles in tha cartton if your winning then you miss up it moves back to the other side then you have to do it all over again.and one more thing i love this game despite its bad views at least they took the time i am right now developing my own dragon ball game at home with 3d rad and true space C++ and visual basic and a little direct X 7 builders and i am hunting for extra help on programming models and animation if any one out there is intereseted i can be reached at Mason607< remove me > at hotmail.com just email me i am serious been in development for 3 months now i need to talk to funimation about it but that is another subject any way email if any out there in cyber space is a 3d animation god or programming god or just has some good ideas that they would have liked to see in the dragon ball z titles that were released thankyou.
| The Best | | Big_DBZ_Fan64 from UK says (14/Dec/2001): | Dragonball Z Legends is the best Dragonball Z game I have ever played. I am a big fan of DBZ. This game has a good selection of fighters to choose from like Vegeta, Majin Buu, Cell, Frieza, Goku, Nappa, Gohan, Trunks etc. It's awesome. The gameplay is cool and easy to learn. Once I started playing it I got the hang of it. It follows the story of Dragonball Z and sagas. It goes from the Saiyan saga up to the Majin Buu saga. It has other great levels like the Cell Games and Androids saga first fighting Dr.Gero and Android 19 and finally on to the 3 other Androids (Android 17, Android 18, Android 16). I really love this game it's awesome. The only thing is in 2 player mode the fighters are far away but that doesn't bother me I played games that had fighters fighting far away. The fun factor is totally fun. It's the best fighting game I've seen so far. I recommend this game to all you DBZ fans and fighting game fans (even if you're not a DBZ fan). You don't want to miss out on this great Dragonball Z game it's a collector's item even for $45 or £45. It's a bargain. Buy this.
| A reccommended game for even players who hate DBZ | | Matt from massachusetts, USA says (21/May/2002): | I will rate the game by catagories to make it easier to see why it is great.
graphics: Horrible. Close up the animation looks 16 bit and the arena looks like it was rushed to be made.
sound: Average. Not the greatist sound I've ever heard nor the best music but with the action going on, you'll ignore it.
control: Good. Odd though, once you get used to it the game will become much easier to play.
gameplay: Perfection. 3 vs 3 action, no not tag, all out battle. Stratagy plays a major roll in when to run, power up, kaoken(if your non SSJ goku, if not just get an aura) also, ganging up, postion for combos, and which team mate to cover all goes together for a great game.
Overall: If you are a person who only looks at graphics, stay away. If you are a person who loves games even without the graphics, GET IT. This game has the best action from any game ive ever played, and ive played alot.
note: i read a review on this game, the catagories were graphics, sound, music and control. WHAT ABOUT GAMEPLAY. i read another review that reviewed it by it's gameplay and it did good.
| A Fantastic Game for its Age | | Devin from Nova Scotia, Canada says (23/May/2002): | First, I'll say that I'm a big big fan of Dragonball Z, and this game lives up to the TV show nicely. Being about 5 years old, what can you expect from a video game's graphics? Okay, so maybe Final Bout may look better, but it's not. Believe me(I havent played Ultimate Battle 22 so I dont know how good it is). The voices in FB are I think pathetic. The drawings aren't the best(Frieza has a big head)and the game just isn't that fast-paced. The characters walk so slow. However, I do like the combos, and that you can do energy blasts manually. Now, in Dragonball Z Legends, the voices are very good. I have 4 DBZ movies in Japanese (Brolly, The 3 Super Saiyans with androids 14 and 15, Janemba, and Bojack) and the voices in the game are much like the voices in the movies. In Legends, yes, the gameplay may look bad, but the drawings I think are up to par for the show's drawings. This game is very fast-paced, and the characters move fast enough. The 'connects' and combos are done nicely, just like the show. The energy blasts are pathetic, until you get the power balance bar up. Goku's spirit bomb is great, as well as the famous Kamehameha. When Goku goes Super Saiyan 3, the Kamehameha is HUGE. Some take quite long to do, like the spirit bomb, and I dont like that. Near the end of the game, when you use Trunks and Goten, they fuse into SS3 Gotenks. That is done very well. The stories in between fights are cool, they'd be better if I understood them. One last thing. For all you people that say Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, SS4 Goku and so on say that they should be in the game, thats wrong. First of all, SS4 Goku isn't in DRAGONBALL Z, he's in GT. Second, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu shoudn't be in the game for two reasons:1. THEY ARE INCREDIBLY WEAK. THEY WOULD NEVER STAND A CHANCE. 2. They die in the show, so they'd only be in the game for like the first fight, which would be pointless. However, I would like to see Tien's Tribeam attack, but thats a mere inconvenience. All in all, this game deserves a perfect 10 of 10. Thank you for your time.
| The Game Remains the Same | | Sellers from SC, USA says (8/Nov/2002): | I have dragonball z legends, and let me tell you it is nothing special. It takes you from the battle with raditz to the final battle with kid buu. It has a lot of characters, but you won't be able to tell the difference between them, other than the fact that the stronger characters in dbz will kick your butt no matter how good you are at the game. The fighting style is terrible. The characters all have the same moves. The way to win is by having the upper hand in battle, which is impossible to get because your other two allies just run around getting killed. If you do manage to win the power struggle you'll be forced to watch a cheap animation of a character doing a special move (you can't do these moves while your fighting which sucks.) The first time you see it, it may seem cool but it gets tiring watching the endless animation over and over again. To take down your opponents life you have to win the power struggle, and to kill them you have to win 3 times. Multiply this by 3 opponents and 30 second animations and you'll be watchig the same animation for at least four and a half minutes of the battle. The cheapest thing by far is that you can beat the entire game by tapping up twice and hitting the punch button, and doing this repeatedly. There is absolutely no depth to this game. Just wait until dragonball z budokai comes out for playstation 2. It will make this game look about as powerful as Roshi's turtle.
| good and bad | | nicholas stathatos from USA says (15/Mar/2003): | The game is great I play it all the time.The fun factor is great too the graphics are the bad part. but it's still fun it
has it's originality down that part I can talk about. But the
people's combos thats the major thing that I think is bad.The people in the game should be less like each other.I mean have cooler moves in the game not just when the power thing goes to one side.
| A f£$%&!@ beast of a game | | SS3 Vegito from England, Liverpool says (6/Apr/2003): | Out of all the DB games this is the hardest. In my opinion, this is second best to Final Bout, it can have six characters playing at once and the battle system is phenomanal, even if it was made in 1997, you attack your opponent with punches and kicks untile the Power-Balance gauge fills blue/red and then you can attack with a kick ass Special Blast. The CG animation in the opening movie is excellent but the in-game graphics are probably the poorest I've ever seen. The camera isn't bad as the $#< remove me > at !e in Psychic Force but is sometimes annoying. They're many characters in the game but you could get a little peeved after seeing Gohan, Vegeta, Gotenks and Trunks in the intro-movie but are not in the game yet but even stranger is that the characters I've just menioned are printed in the booklet. The music is very good and there is a lot of sound FX. If you are easily enraged by getting something that is not in your language (I bought this on Japanese import) then you should stay well away from this game, even if you are the world's biggest DB fan otherwise, buy it because it's 100% brilliant.
| The Best DBZ Game I Have Ever Played!!!!!!!! | | Lil' D from Conway, Arkansas, USA says (27/Jan/2001): | Sup!!! I gonna start off and say that this is a very tight (fun) game to play!!! I am a DBZ fan and it is just like the cartoon series!! I knew I had to have it. The game has everybody which makes the game well. Second the combos that you can do to an opponent are nice, and the finishers (meteo attack are cool and are exactly like the game. Third, the most important of all games, is the gameplay. Dragonball Z to me is a FAST paced cartoon and the game corresponds to that. The moves are simple, but once you get used to them such as dodging right when you are about to be attacked, they become fun. The only drawbacks to the game is the graphics in the background and their voices. I understand that because it's only a 16 bit game, so what more do you expect. The game would be A lot fun if you could do your own meteo attacks on your opponent but those meteo attacks are nice to see. Above all it is a very fun game especially if you play 3 on 3 with another player. There are more good points to game but I think I said enough. Last thing before I go, Dragonball Z Legends is the best one of the 3 games they have out now (UB 22 and Final Bout) I was reading the reviews about those games and the people that got them were not happy about them!!!!! I'm out Holla!!!!!!!
