  1. It's worth a look if you're wanting a good game; it's a must buy if you're a fan of the genre or series.

    Attack of the Saiyans is the truest game to the DBZ Anime I have ever seen. Not only it is true, but it is really good as an RPG.
  3. If you are a huge fan of Dragon Ball and equal parts JRPG fan, you can’t go wrong with this game. It’s a competent JRPG and offers a ton of portable role playing content. That said, if you aren’t already a fan, this is one game you can safely avoid.
  4. It's going to be tough for me to recommend AotS to anyone who isn't a die-hard Dragonball fan. Not because the game isn't good and enjoyable for fans and non-fans alike, as it is; no, I can't give this one my stamp of approval because it's 2009 and I'm flatly refusing to endorse any RPG that continues to cling to the random battle system.

    Pretty linear but to be fair you cant change the story as its already been established, recommended if your a dbz fan!
  4. A very impressive, addicting, and fun Rpg, set in the saiyan saga of Dragon Ball Z. This game was done very well, and is reminiscent of the Dragon Ball Z rpgs on the super nintendo. The battle system, and leveling up, as well as the story progressions, and giving characters like tien and yamcha more backstory within the story, and just the overall execution was done really well. awesome music and great graphics, as well ofcourse amazing gameplay, this is an awesome rpg that i definitely recomend Expand
