Piss-poor gameplay

With the exception of Budokai, Dragon Ball Z games often fare poorly. DBZ: Taiketsu, sadly, joins their dismal ranks. If nothing else, Taiketsu succeeds somewhat in capturing the simple visual charm of the show. The large characters look clear and visible on the tiny GBA screen, but overall they can't compete with the superior graphics of GBA champions MK:DA and Street Fighter, and Taiketsu's herky-jerky animation is also particularly distracting. To save battery juice, go ahead and mute the muffled background music and scratchy sound effects-since the game lacks character voices, you won't miss anything important. Taiketsu's button-mashing gameplay is shallow and simplistic, even for a kid's fighting title. There are 15 characters total, including favorites from both the series (like Cell and Goku) and the movies (including the popular Brolly). Aside from the occasional super-move, each character boasts only a meager handful of attacks and combos. Worse, there's very little difference between the various fighters. Players can also occasionally take to the skies during combat, but that gimmick burns out quickly. On the plus side, the game thoughtfully includes several play modes (like Tournament and Endurance) to help extend the replay value; unfortunately, none of the game types are interesting or particularly enjoyable. Another nice touch is the Soul Calibur-esque secret system, which allows players to earn Z Points to unlock bonus modes, settings, and pictures. Overall, unless you're an eight-year-old DBZ fanatic, you'll find that this Saiyan is hardly super.

Horrible

Do not buy this game. The gameplay is horrible and you will get bored of this game extremely quickly. I think this is a waste of money.

Terrible waste of time!

Any DBZ product is bound to get a lot of attention. I could place a DBZ sticker on a pile of crap(literally) and sell it for 50 bucks. The DBZ audience is primarily younger kids though so they are bound to review this game with 5 stars no matter what.

The graphics are choppy. Characters leave fuzzy trails which will hurt your eyes. Every character has the same moves. Of course everyone will give this game 50000 stars because their favorite character is in it. The problem though is that all the characters are the same. It is unrealistic when Brolly can't take down Cell. As for the fighting... It is all the same. They have special moves but they take 50308952805028 hours to pull off. It hurts my hands. On top of that... basically I could memorize the dictionary before I memorize Goku's Kamehameha.

Of course, the game will get 4.5 stars. It's DBZ so it is bound to get top scores from 9 year olds. The truth is that this game is bad. It is a terrible game and a waste of money. Don't let these 9 year olds tell you differently because the game contains their favorite character. It is bad.

This was the crappiest game id ever played

for what this game lacks in graphics it makes up in story and characters. i like the fact you can get broly and his cool special atack, but others are all wrong. like krillins head looks like an oversized bowling ball.(android 18 too!) atleast krillin uses his huge head for an attack. overall it's an okay game. buy it if you have nothing better to buy.

don't buy unless you would die for DBZ

This game was horrible! There was no story line and the graphics sucked! The unlockables weren't that good and by the time you mash the buttons to do a special attack, the opponent is dead! There wasn't any differences between the characters besides the looks. They all had almost the exact same attacks. There's no storyline at all! Playing this stupid game, made my buttons on my GBA go soft!

it's not even dragonball z !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is by far the worst DBZ game I have ever played! I own all the DBZ GBA games including the newer fighting game "Super Sonic Warriors". I got Taiketsu without reading any reviews. I cant believe I was soooo naive to buy this game! I was so dissipointed by the small limit of moves to do, the corny looking graphics, and its really hard to do combo moves! I was so upset that I wasted $25 on it that I pretended I liked so I felt like I got my moneys worth. Dont buy this game if you want to play a good DBZ GBA game then get Super Sonic Warriors which is a trillion times better!
