 - Dragonball Adventure - side scrolling recap of seriesI enjoyed this game. I don't know why, but even though this gave is redundant and at time tedious, I enjoy playing this game. I ended this game in about a week as Goku, and in about 3 days after that (as Krillin). This game reminds me of the old-school fighting adventure games like Teenage Muntant Ninja Turtles on the NES. Actually the game play easy to catch on to the basic techniques. The multiple modes sometimes can be hard to navagate at first, but once you get the hang of it, you want to explore every cave and open every door (I still haven't opened all the door yet). Some of the items you found as Goku, You cannot find as Krillin (and vice-versa). The fight mode (as opposed to the story mode) has a repeat of all the torny you fought in the story mode + Mercinary Tao, Piccolo Daimo, Goku and Mecha Mercinary Tao (What???). You end the game at fighting Piccolo, which is how the TV series ends, (you can never get enough of Goku punching a hole through Piccolo, can you???). Parts of the game can be frustrating (Like Korin's turtle shell/cave level), but it has enough variety to leave you wanting more. The only down side to it is the awkwardness of the some of the special attacks, you have to push (b) three times in a row to extend the pole, and the whole "flying nimbus" thing, you jump and it disappears. The animation and the voice acting seem good (actually better than some of the PS2 games). If you like side scrolling fighting games with a little adventure to it, this game is for you. Rating:  - Too much fighting...As an adult who loves Super Mario Bros games, Yoshi's Island, Kirby, Madagascar, Curious George, and many others. I am a fan of DragonBall & DragonBall Z comic books and really loved the story. I decided to get this game. The story of the game follows just like the Dragonball books. But Goku is always fighting. There is no adventure like the games I've played. On the first level/stage he fights many many enemies. All he does is fight. You can not move on until you have fought all the enemies on the screen. After awhile I got tired of fighting. Unlike the other games I've played, this game has no variety. For an example: Super Mario Bros. You take Mario on an adventure on each level, stomping monsters and enemies, jump on blocks to get mushrooms, collect coins etc. You get the idea. Goku in this game, all he does is fight. Nothing else so far. On the second level, I finally got the flying cloud. So now he's able to fly in the air on the cloud but then again, he's flying and fighting. More fighting. Kill kill kill all the enemies on the screen. You are supposed to collect all the dragon balls but that is after you're done with a level and in the story mode, it tells of the turtle guy giving the Dragon Ball to Goku. Goku didn't actually go find a Dragon Ball in the game. It is given to him during the story. The game probably would have been better if Goku would seek the balls on each levels, making it more exciting. The graphics are cute and colorful. No complaints there. It does save where you left off. In all, I'm kinda disappointed in the game. It is focused on too much fighting. If you like fighting games, then this is for you. This game isn't adventurous. You don't explore around the levels or look for items like you do in other games. Rating:  - And The Beat Goes On...........Here we go again!!!!!! Another game i purchased without reading a reviewing or hearing someone elses response who already owns the game. I purchased it pretty much a few days after its release. It seems most Dragon Ball Z Games have been getting pretty good feedback since the Playstation 2 era started. But most of them have been 1 on 1 fighters which i cant stand. So this game is another Side-Scroller Action Adventure Beat Em Up in the same tradition as the last Dragonall GT Transformation. But seems to have a better quality about it. Nothing trendsetting or revolutionary but does its hand at lending a variety of styles into one game. Its a Final Fight but with DragonBall characters. Ive only played about 4 stages. Pretty fun & i hope they keep rolling them out =)
