[Review] GBA : Dragon Ball Z - Legacy of Goku 2



After Dragon Ball Z - Legacy of Goku 2 was released in 2002 by Webfoot, a lot of people were wondering if the gameplay advance was the right fit for the series. The prequel was a rather forgettable RPG title that was short, irritating and unrewarding. However, Webfoot seemed to have learned from their mistakes, and they developed probably one of the top 10 games on the GameBoy Advance.

Events in LOG 2 take off right after the prequel, while the game itself manages to retain a certain amount of familiarity with the earlier title. The storyline follows the 'Cell Games saga' of the Dragon Ball Z universe and at many moments in the game, I was reminded of scenes from the television series. For those of you who haven't watched the series, I would go as far as to say the video game is an astonishingly accurate recreation, with even certain soundtracks from the show being transcribed for the GBA. There are plenty of scenes in the game where certain dialogues are said at key moments, making you feel like you're watching an episode.
