A few months ago, as part of a freelance review gig that I did for the long-running website Hardcore Gaming 101, I wrote a review for what is generally considered to be one of the best Dragon Ball games - the side-scrolling beat-em-up Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure! And now that I'm a member of the Kanzenshuu forum, I can now post the review and see what y'all think!
Here's the review. I hope you enjoy!

Re: Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure Review (as featured on Hardcore Gaming 101)
I was surprised to see as many negative points as you listed, but they are true when I stop and think about it. The game is flawed in many ways.
And yet, I have such a huge soft spot for this game that I can forgive it all. If there is one thing it did right, it's that it captured the "feeling", the spirit, of Dragon Ball. Whenever I play Advanced Adventure I get that same sense of pure, carefree adventure that I get from reading/watching the first few arcs. And that is a feeling I love beyond words.
