Dragon Ball Z : The Legacy of Goku Game

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku for the Game Boy Advance is a love letter to fans who’ve ever dreamed of stepping into Goku’s boots and living out the Saiyan saga firsthand. Unlike some DBZ games that focus purely on fighting, this one mixes action-RPG exploration with iconic moments from the Frieza arc—letting you fly across vibrant 2D landscapes, power up with new abilities, and throw down in fast-paced battles. Sure, it’s not perfect (those early-game difficulty spikes can be brutal!), but there’s something magical about charging a Kamehameha or going Super Saiyan on the go.

For a 2002 handheld title, it nailed the Dragon Ball vibe with colorful sprites and a soundtrack that’ll teleport you straight back to Saturday morning cartoons. If you grew up with Goku’s adventures—or just love retro action RPGs—this little gem is a nostalgia trip worth taking. Just watch out for those cheap hits from Raditz!
