Dragonball Z:Buu's Fury is not only a great RPG game but is one of the better games on the Gameboy Advance all year
As the name suggests DBZ Buu's Fury focuses on stopping one of the most powerful enimies they have ever battle,Buu.Though actually finishing the game will only take about 8 hours there are a few side quests that can easily double the overall play time.However if you have finished and mastered DBZ Log 1 & 2 Dragonball Z Buu's Fury will only take you around 5 hours to complete.Thankfully to get bored of Buu's Fury you would have to of beaten it atleast 3 times though some extra length would of been nice the new multiplayer modes will keep you and your friends entertained for around 3 or 4 hours overall.
Graphically Dragonball Z Buu's Fury is one of the Gameboy Advences best.At the start of the game you are shown a cut-scene that takes place at the very end of Dragonball Z Log 2 and needless to say it looks absoloutely stunning.However there are a few flaws in the graphics such as in various cut-scenes when some one turns into a Super Saiyan they face the camerea and then it takes them around 30 seconds to transforem into a Super Saiyan/3 which is quite impressive the first few times you see it but after you see it 5 or 6 times it gets very annoying.Other than that the graphics are very impressive, the environments also are very detailed and thecharacter models.though a bit blocky are pretty well detailed aswell.
The story in Buu's Fury is similar to the TV version of the Buu Saga but at times can be a bit confusing and you may struggle in finding out where to go next but overall Atari did a great job of emulating the story line from the popular TV show.Throught the story mode you will find fight some villians from movies which is a great feature but sadly there is only 2 movie villians in Buu's Fury and they are both quite easy to beat.Also in Buu's Fury you will be able to play as 3 fusion characters 1 is Gotenks and the other 2 are a secret(???).While in a fusion unfortunately you dont become much stronger but you become alot faster and you are able to do 3 powerful attacks.
There are an overall of 5 playable characters who are Goku,Vegeta,Chibi Trunks( Kid Trunks ),Goten and Gohan.One thing you may have noticed is that each of those 5 characters are Saiyans and from the moment you unlock them you are able to turn Super Saiyan.A nice feature is also how you can turn into a SSJ3 with Goku and Gotenks.Each character has 2 different unique abilities.Example Goku has the Kamehameha and the instant transmission.Every character has stats which determine your endurance,power and strength.The higher your strength attribute the higher melle attacks do,the higher your power attribute your enrgy based attacks do more damage and the higher your endurance the lower damage your opponents deal when they attack you.
After playing and finishing DBZ Buu's Fury i had mixed emotions.I was both suprised and dissapointed.I was dissapointed at how short the game was and i can sefely say that is the only really bad flaw in the game butr other than that i was suprised at how good the game was because of its poor predicesor's.And i can safely and easily say that Dragonball Z:Buu's Fury is not only a great role RPG game but is one of the best games that the GBA has to offer and any RPG fan or DBZ fan will enjoy.
