Dragon Ball Z is starting a new series on the Game Boy Advance. Check it out here, as part of the blowout feature!
While the Collectibe Card Game should have a ready-made audience, Infogrames' other DBZ game for the GBA will actually appear in May. Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku will be a role-playing game and fighting game mixed into one. Unfortunately, it will only be a single-player game, but it promises to be as involving on the TV show�centered on a story line that will be as true to the animated series as possible.Says Dana Dominiak, President of Webfoot Technologies, �We�re trying to stay really true to the license and produce something that fans will be extremely pleased with.�
In fact, DBZ fans should immediately know where they are as soon as they fire up the game. The Dragon Ball Z tale will be set in several chapters called sagas. The Legacy of Goku will focus on Goku�s adventures in the early sagas, including the Saiyan, Namek and Frieza epics. To mirror the story even more, Dominiak also promises that the game will have plenty of Dragon Ball Z humor and inside jokes aimed at fans of the series.
The Legacy of Goku�s gameplay will combine real-time combat with RPG elements familiar to fans of this genre. Throughout your quest, you�ll need to level up attributes such as HP, Ki, skill levels, and experience points. You�ll also take on a multitude of side quests while exploring indoor and outdoor environments. Of course, during the fighting aspect of the game, you�ll be able to pull off Goku�s legendary energy blast, the Kamehameha. To complete the package, Dominiak promises that even the sounds will match those in the DBZ TV show�an epic digital soundtrack that you can fully enjoy only if you hook up your GBA to a surround-sound audio system!
