Jun 14, 2012Â Legacy Of Goku DRAGONBALL Z: LEGACY OF GOKU This is the first in a series of three games for the GBA, and follows the storyline, from the Saiyan Saga to the Freiza Saga. The only twist is that instead of following the whole story, the game goes by Goku's perspective, hence the name.

Two sequels, titled Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II and Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, were released in June 2003 and September 2004 respectively. Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku is an online GBA game that you can play at Emulator Online. This free Game Boy Advance game is the United States of America region version for the USA. Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku is a single title from the many manga games, adventure games and rpg games offered for this console.

Probably one of Webfoot Technology's best Dragon Ball Z titles. Definitely a major improvement from the previous game. Like its predecessor, it is an RPG but follows the anime series storyline a lot more closely. It later got a rerelease in a double pack with Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku.

Debug Menu
A debug menu exists which can be accessed by using the Codebreaker code 0202B32D:02 (US version) or 0202B371:02 (Japanese version) while the game is starting up and then pressing Start at the title screen. The player can listen to music tracks and sound effects, as well as teleport to any level. When going to any level, all six characters will be available, with each one of them being upgraded to a certain degree.

Anti-Piracy Measure
Please elaborate. Having more detail is always a good thing. Specifically: What exactly does the anti-piracy check for? What's the savetype that the game uses? |
The anti-piracy triggers at the point Gohan presses A to go to the world map for the first time from East District 439. The US and EU versions show up dead center of the screen by default whilst the Japanese version has it appear on the bottom. You are then booted back to the title screen. It could be checking for the save type used like in Buu's Fury.
Development-Related Text
Debugging Text
Various text strings related to errors and the developers' hard drive can be found in the ROM in each version of the game. The Japanese version, which came out later, contains a lot more of it than the other two versions. While nothing special, it does reveal the game was coded in C++ Language, since '.cpp' files are associated with the C++ programming language. The same is true with the next game in the series, Buu's Fury.

Crash Handler
There is a crash handler that seems to only work on the Japanese version.
![Ball Ball](/uploads/1/2/5/5/125591259/692361585.jpg)
This sound error message can be triggered by enabling the code 03007D510E during the opening cutscene. (Source: nensondubois) | |
This message can be triggered by enabling the debug screen on the Japanese version, warping to zone 10, area 16, and then progressing with the dialogue. It can be assumed that the error occurs because the game attempted to move a character that was not currently loaded. | |
If you attempt a glitch that involves shooting several ki blasts simultaneously, you could get one of these two screens. |
Regional Differences
Intro Movie
In the European version, the opening FMV played in the US and JP (International) versions is removed to make room for the other languages.
Dbz Legacy Of Goku 2
Character Portraits
For some reason, all the story-relevant characters had their portraits changed when the game was localized in Japan. This does fix mistakes with Gohan's Super Saiyan 2 portrait and Imperfect Cell's portrait.

No, you haven't died and gone to meet King Yemma, DBZ fans. The first of Infogrames' games based on Akira Toriyama's mega-popular animated and comics series has arrived.
Legacy of Goku is an action-RPG based on the first three DBZ sagas: Saiyan, Namek and Frieza. As Goku, you battle evil and save the universe with fists of fury and fiery projectiles.
Don't know anything about DBZ? Allow us to give you the gist: In each episode of the show, a bunch of people (called Saiyans) with wily hair, rippling muscles and moon boots fight and talk about power levels for a half hour. These battles are commonly over control of the Dragon Balls (seven are scattered around the planet that, if collected, grant the gatherer any wish he/she desires) and sometimes span several episodes. We can assure you, LoG is shorter than the 185 half-hour shows.
People say:
Legacy of Goku gets a lot of things right--the graphics are some of the best I've seen on GBA, the sound is good, and it follows the convoluted DBZ storyline pretty darn accurately (albeit abridged). For those reasons alone, most hardcore DBZ fans will be able to overlook its problems. But I can't. The enemies are unfairly difficult, and close combat isn't an option, lust hitting a creature who is all over you (which is all of them) is next to impossible to do with any accuracy, much less delivering the multiple hits it takes to put 'em down. You're left using long-range projectile attacks that are safer but still difficult to land because your opponents move so erratically, as if they're going to act out a tribal dance before killing you. lust as you're fleeing this onslaught, part of that beautiful background you thought you were walking around inevitably blocks your movement, stopping you cold and giving your attacker a free shot. Wonderful. The gameplay (when you're not being chased by hordes of creatures) is pretty good, but simplistic. Bring an item here, find this person, plant these trees--nothing new, though if you've never played an action-RPG before, you may have some difficulty, especially in the Temple area of Namek. (The game has an unbelievably nasty habit of not fully explaining minor details, leaving a lot to trial-and-error.) This might be the best game ever spawned by DBZ, but it still falls just shy of good.
As someone who's never been a big fan of Dragon Ball, I came into The Legacy of Goku mainly just hoping for a solid action-RPG, regardless of the DBZ name. Now that I'm done, about the best thing I can say is that I don't necessarily regret the experience. Goku isn't bad--it's just that with a few adjustments, it could've been a lot better. The controls are too stiff (you can't even move diagonally), and battling enemies is both frustrating and boring thanks to touchy hit detection and extremely repetitive fights. It's too bad, 'cause the underlying game is pretty decent if a bit too short for an RPG. A good rental for casual RPGers.
I have a dark secret: I'm a Dragon Ball fan. Hey, it's not my fault. I've been reading the books since the series started, and I happen to enjoy the exploits of Goku and co. If nothing else, DBZ does a good job of condensing the 'Z' storyline into a eight-hour game that functions, on the basest level, as a guided tour through the world of Dragon Ball. But that's the only reason I dig this mediocre action-RPG. Holding the game back are some clumsy controls and a wimpy combat system. The rest of the 'action' is made up of a never-ending series of fetch quests that are useful for little more than killing time. This one's for younger kids and hardcore fans only.
