I'd say the best way to level up Mr. Satan (or any character, anyway) is to go to Tropical Islands (or whatever they're called) and beat the crap out of the crocodiles. That's how I did it.

I remember he was the owner of Dragon World (http://dragonworld.mihopa.com/) and I think his name of Ice. I find it funny that he was going to start the game at the 23rd Budokai and have Broli as a secret boss by using the Dragon Balls. All of that stuff was in Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans and it won't surprise me if he end up working for Monolith Soft.

I thought it was a pretty fun handheld game at the time. Definitely a step up over Legacy of Goku II. Overall it was just pretty inconsequential in the annals of Dragon Ball games and gaming in general. What more is there to say?

So nobody else just went to other characters' level 40 gates with Mr Satan? That's what I did. Having him pound on dinosaurs made it a little easier, though still time-consuming to the max.

Max Level in LoG 2 was 50. I know. I maxed every character out other than Goku, because I didn't want to max out a guy the game was just going to take away from me.

Pretty much this. It was a step up and step down from LOGII. It's lacking the polish of LOGII (it's way too easy and some parts feel rushed and sloppy) some some elements don't work (the money system- you get everything you need ingame by beating up enemies unless you are after 100% on everything). But the whole customisation system was interesting, and as usual I liked the quests, and I like how they managed to pack in a lot of the story. There's also some more elements to it which I've forgotten after not playing it for years... I do remember the max lvl was 200.

To make the game interesting I recommend not using the EXP points on your character and not grabbing any items unless story important that enemies drop to actually make the money system have a point.


I quite enjoyed the original LOG and it's still a favourite but it's a mess. The combat system DOES NOT WORK and is incredbily stiff and unresponsive. I loved the quests though and the sprites. Would have loved a remake. I recommend using the invincibility cheat to make it somewhat more enjoyable.

As a whole the LOG trilogy still remains my favourite Dragonball games.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

I actually made a 2nd file one time so I can level up Goku to 50 but NOT SAVE after the Cell Games. That why I can play around with the game as Goku for fun lol

I'm glad to see a consensus that Webfoot's games redeemed the Falconer quartet's music, at least in their arrangements and placement. In a way it demeans the score by working better in video game than TV series, but on the other it also gave it a place where it really shined.

I'm really torn, because on one hand it realized a lot of what LoG2 had started- namely the addition of money, healing items, equipment, and a higher level cap on top of the existing stat system, and the presentation was better. As if Webfoot realized they had a foundation and built on it. But then it was also broken; strength was often all you needed, you could beam-stun enemies into walls and continually use ki-replenishing items to wear them down considerably before they could react, and the diversity in enemy attacks only increased marginally. In a word, the mechanical depth increased- low-level games can still be fun- but the enemies didn't keep pace. Let's not forget how absurdly underpowered Second Coming Broly was! It also lost most of the post-game content LoG2 had.

Granted, dealing with Second Coming Broly and Janemeba (Which was one of the best fights in the game, if not the best!) having no idea their movies existed at the time was a huge treat.

I know, but I thought there were high-level gates before the level 50 ones? It's been many many years. Eh, not that importnat.

I guess it must be an American thing since those games borrow a lot from the dub you grew up with, hence the nostalgia factor.
For me, I thought the game was a stinky pile of poo and nothing more. I beat it but really didn't enjoy it. I thought it was retarded for the most part really. As for Legacy of Goku, I owned the game and had some fun with it, but it was piss easy really, eventually sold it since I didn't even want it in my collection.

I enjoyed it. Not as much as Legacy of Goku 2, but it was far better than it should've been--a licensed cash-in by an American developer.

OMG that's exactly how I did it.

Anyway I think Buu's fury was the most fun out of the 3 games, but Legacy of Goku 2 was more challenging then Buu's fury as I could not spam SSJ and never lose any energy.

Buu's Fury was fun, but Legacy of Goku 1 was better.

I think you mean 2. Legacy 1 is known for being notoriously bad. unless you really mean 1.

I enjoyed the LOG trilogy mainly for the quests, basic RPGness, attention to detail and adventuring, also optional sidequests. Mainly because it's not just fighting.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

That's all fair and all but it does not make the games good. Attack of the Saiyans has everything you just described and is a much better game.

Yeah the combat in LOG is pretty dated. It doesn't have that Seiken Densetsu feel, yah know?

Sure it does. Makes it enjoyable and good, for me anyway. I haven't played Attack of the Saiyans so I wouldn't know, I am intrigued at it despite not being the best at turn based RPGs, lol.

And I'm not sure about the combat being dated- more very simplistic and not much depth. But it's simple and fun.

Well, I had fun with the first one as a time waster and not much more, one thing's for sure, the games did not age well.

Also, Attack of the Saiyans is perfect for RPG newbies, the game is very forgiving. Give it a spin, I'm sure you'll love it.
