Background:
This game takes place between the Cell era and part of the movies of Dragon Ball Z.

The Game:
You have 2 energy bars. One is life and one is ki=energy (ki is for fireballs, etc.). You can block or you can dodge which uses ki. The settings are pretty cool: some are in the forest, and some take place in the ocean!! =) where you can dive in and out of the water while fighting!! This game has all the famous attacks like "Kamehameha", "Mankou Ko Sappou", etc.This is like a Street Fighter 2 game, throwing fireballs and such. But in this game you can fly in the air and do SUPERS!! (^___^) The 10 characters in all (including the secret characters) are: 1) Gokou 2) Gohan 3) Piccolo 4) Trunks 5) Vegeta 6) Cell 7) Cell Jr. 8) Zangya 9) Bojack 10) Brolly.

Secrets:
When the game first turns on you'll hear Gokou say stuff in Japanese-"Gohan it's your turn". When you see Gohans arms flying to Kami's place, you press this code quickly: Up X Down B L Y R A and you'll hear Brolly say "Kakaroto" (Gokou).

The Good:
This game has gotta be one of the best DBZ games ever!! This game is is one of the best next to Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension!! It has good graphics, and awsome super moves. It gets real exciting when 2 people do supers at the same time, and you have to tap the buttons the fastest. Whoever taps the buttons the fastest will win the blast duel!! =)

The Bad:
This game is not really that bad. But when playing Bojack and Brolly is kind of hard and unfair. (But that's what makes the game so fun!! =)

Overall:
I cannot really say cause so many people have different opinions, but I think this game is great for all DBZ fans!! =) I also have other Super Famicom Dragon Ball Z games and Famicom Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z games. Here the list of the games I own:

Super Famicom (SNES):
1) Super Butoden, 2) Super Butoden 2, 3) Super Butoden 3, 4) Legend of the Super Saiyajin
