A MASSIVE improvement, probably the biggest I’ve seen in a sequel.
I’d honestly still pay for a remaster of 1-3 with the QoL updates of Buu’s Fury.
And this top down Zelda style would actually work really well with all of OG Dragon Ball too.
Really enjoyed levelling all characters to 50, and the inclusion of Movie characters.
Wish the size of the sprites was more accurate, Perfect Cell looks about 20 feet tall but that’s a small issue.

Esse jogo é incrível e com certeza é um dos meus jogos favoritos de Dragon Ball, dá pra escolher vários personagens principais e cada um com suas técnicas e transformações (as transformações nesse jogo são apelonas, tem que ficar spammando sempre hehe), tem até um número razoável de side quests fora a história principal, bosses secretos como o Cooler, a trilha sonora é muito boa e a abertura desse jogo é incrivelmente bem feita pra um Game Boy Advance. Recomendo totalmente
Liked this a lot as a kid and decided to check it out recently. It's such a pulpy kind of action game, but the game loop is so tight and there's relatively so few things to waste tons of time on that I think it works well as this mix of new filler episodes and the android/cell saga. The characters' charm translates well to the little dialogue boxes, and it's fun to just find random quests in the city since there's so few of them, even if they always lead to nothing or a pointless stat upgrade.
From the standpoint of action design it gets a bit flat and most of the motivation is seeing your little EXP bar go up... The enemies don't have much in the way of ideas, but there's something fun about trying to get the punch timing down while avoiding the strangely large enemy hitboxes. I like the weird aiming-ness of some of the special moves like Gohan's energy bomb or Piccolo's little beam. All in all it basically holds up and it's nice that they didn't bother with dodging or blocking mechanics. Feels suitable for the fist/ki fighting.
Sometimes the NPC dialogue, which probably wasn't written by Toriyama? Is kind of funny. There's a woman who muses about the existential boredom of watching her kid run around all day because she agreed to let her husband run an antique store. It's funny to see Piccolo grumble and agree to go kill some dinosaurs.

What a suprise of a GAME. I played it on my DS and it was a charming & fun GAME. Gameplay was good. Retelling the Cell Saga w. GAME-only elements & filler was well made.
A solid game, where you feel like Goku/Gohan/Piccolo/Vegeta/Trunks/Mr. Satan.
The only negative I can think of is how grindy sometimes the GAME is w. door barriers, which requires a minimum level o. you can't go. Some of the post GAME stuff is locked because of it for a long while.
It's crazy how shitty & infamous it's prequel is.
