I saw the advertisment for this game and figured I'd try it out. I spent 30 bucks on this thing and was hoping it would actually be worthwhile.....
Graphics: 8- The graphics are pretty good for 32-bit GBA. Energy blasts are the highlight of the Graphics department, when Goku unleashes a huge Spirit Bomb it looks pretty sweet. Yep. It's probably the best thing about the game, not that that's saying much...
Sound: 6- Most of the Sound is annoying, but two or three songs are pretty good. There are a couple power-chord driven rock beats on the game, and since I like hard rock, I liked that background music somewhat, but the rest I didnt care for.
Gameplay: 5- Ehh, who cares. The gameplay wasn't very good. You had about 3 different Specials maximum. It wasn't like Hyper Dimension where each character had dozens of moves. Each character has their signature move along with a really big one. Goku's signature move is Kamehameha, of course, and his ultimate move is Spirit Bomb, which includes a cut scene. The worst part about the gameplay is that (A) You can be extremely cheap by just pressing the Kick button and Forward continuously until the opponent dies, and (B) The limited number of moves you can perform.
In addition to those minor problems, the game isn't very long. There are about 8 characters to unlock, including Broly. That, and after each battle with the GBA you earn points which you can use to unlock Bios, pics from the show and other stuff that no one actually cares about.
I successfully completed the game within a couple hours. And did I mention the Difficulty Levels dont actually DO anything? Easy is just as difficult as Hard. In fact, sometimes Hard is easier than Easy. What happens on the Hard difficulty level is that sometimes the opponent will just stand there and let you beat them to death until when they're almost dead, and THEN they'll start fighting back. It was a VERY irritating aspect of the game.
Final Score: 6- It was okay, it kept my attention for a while......At least until I had mastered every facet of the game, which didnt take long. One of the main problems was how limiting the game was. You could only perform a couple Specials and the game was pretty short overall. I'd say it would be worth Renting, beating the crap out of it, then never playing it again.
