Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku Basic Training

In Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku you play as Goku, who returns to visit his master only to have Gohan kidnapped! Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku follows the Dragonball Z TV show plot almost exactly. It even has the TV intro as a cool video clip. But this time it's up to you to rescue, Gohan, save Earth from Saiyans and travel to the alien world of Namek to fight the ultimate evil!

Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku Super Moves

The Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku graphics are really well done. Everything from Goku's big spiky hair to Krillin's bald head to the weird aliens you have to fight looks good. But the best part is letting fly with a mighty KAMEHAMEHA and blasting an enemy into next week.

Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku Weaknesses

Unfortunately, there are problems with Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku. The biggest problem is how long it is - you can beat all of Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku in 4-5 hours. The other problem is that up-close combat is really short range. It's nearly impossible to hit bad guys - stick to your ki blasts or you'll get thumped.

Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku Final Word

Dragonball Z: The Legacy of Goku is a cool game for fans of the series. If you aren't a Dragonball Z fan, this might make you want to check out the episodes to catch all the details not covered in the game.
