So what does Kanzenshuu think about Buu's Fury?

[Rostir]

What is the consensus guys?

[GogetaSSJ2]

I personally think it's underrated. I liked it a lot. It was pretty much Legacy of Goku 3 with a different name. But Legacy of Goku 2 was the cream of the crop among the majority of the fan community. I sometimes don't understand why nobody ever talks about it. It was a fun game. Oh well lol

[dbboxkaifan]

It's one of those rare times that a game internationally has the music of the series, though, in this game it's the Faulconer score not Kikuchi. Legacy of Goku had it too, I think.

[Insertclevername]

Great game; totally nostalgic to me. In my opinion, it's better that LOG 2, which by itself was a good game. I would recommend both to (J)RPG beginners.

[MCDaveG]

It was awesome game, I was allready hyped up for it by LOG 1 and 2. Didn't liked the name tough.
Also, being fan of the Japanese version, I actually liked a lot Faulconer's music in the game (Which was also arranged pretty good and better than the original), as it worked damn better than that never-ending mix they made up in the actual series.
I was anticipating GT Transformation a lot after this, and it turned out not to be LOG game, even when they announced that it will be....

[90sDBZ]

It' s great game. Even better than LOG2. It was never officially released in the UK so I was very lucky to get it. Thank god the GBA was region free. Faulconer's music was used very well in that game and I felt like there was more to do after beating the main story than in LOG2 plus it had SS3 and Fusions so you can't go wrong with it.

[Hellspawn28]

It was good, but a step down compare to Legacy of Goku 2. LOG2 felt harder and more fresh out. Too bad we never got a LOG4 seeing that Transformation was made instead. If I would rank the LOG games then it would be: LOG2>BF>LOG

Legacy of Goku 2 and Buu's Fury both are among my favorite Dragon Ball games. They're the only really good RPGs we've gotten for the series (that I've played anyway, I still need to try Attack of the Saiyans), and still hold up even after all this time.

Legacy of Goku is barely playable in comparison sadly (though I normally still make myself play through it first, before I play 2 and Fury again), so I was surprised by how much better 2 was when it came out. They're actually challenging games without being the type to make you pull your hair out either. So yeah, I have a lot of love for Buu's Fury, since I liked it even better than 2.

Oh, and yeah, count me among those that wish they'd gone the direction of a 4th LoG style game instead of Transformation. Ugh.

[Hellspawn28]

I guess webfoot wanted to try something new and it end up doing poorly instead which is why we never got a sequel.

The engine is improved in some areas over Legacy of Goku 2 but Buu's Fury felt too easy compared to the previous game. I also didn't find the side quests/plot expansions as fun, but that probably just boils down to opinion.

[Hellspawn28]

I always wish they did a remake of the first game with able to play as Gohan, Piccolo, Kuririn, Vegeta and Goku. Maybe have the Garlic Jr saga as a bonus saga to play through if you unlock everything in the game.

[Saiga]

I liked Buu's Fury. I don't know about the others, because I got bored with LoG I way before I got very far, and when I heard the sequels vastly improved things I decided to skip to Buu's Fury because the Boo Arc is my favourite in the series.

I thought it was a great game, but I think it could have used a lot of polish. Being able to save and continue after the ending, with some post-game content, would be nice for starters. And the stats didn't feel very important, because Speed was absolutely broken.

[ShadowDude112]

I like it. I actually did everything in the game on the first save file, but I turned it on one day and just the first file was erase. Nothing else was. So, someone deleted it. I know I wouldn't. I love the game, but I don't want to go through all that again. I'd totally tell people to pick it up. Also, Vegetto should have been unlockable and not Gogeta. They could have found a way to make it work.

[Hellspawn28]

I do remember sometime in 2005 that someone try to remade Legacy of Goku with the same engine from LOG2 & BF. I believe it was on a site called "Dragon Arena" or "Dragon World", and the guy even added Broli as a bonus boss. I'm still trying to remember that dude's name since I always wanted to know what happen to him when he shut down the site?

[Gyt Kaliba]

I think I remember hearing about that. I'm guessing the game was never completed?

What was wrong with Legacy of Goku? From what I've heard, it's a pretty terrible game.

The sidequests are dumb and the controls suck. Punching opponents doesn't guarantee they'll stop attacking, and if you get ganged up on, you're dead. Running away isn't an option, either. The fights with Vegeta and Freeza are fun, I guess. Back when I had it, I would save at two points; right before the Saiyan fight and right before Freeza.

One thing I noticed with Buu's Fury was that unlike LOG2, you couldn't put an enemy against the wall and just melee them until they're dead. That made fighting trickier. I never actually beat this game because my Gohan was too underleveled by the time I reached Gotenks Buu, but he was too strong for the golden Pirate Robots and killing them didn't give up enough EXP.

(And did anyone ever beat LOG2 with Mr. Satan?)

I did! It was frustrating as heck leveling Mr. Satan to level 50. I kept thinking "Oh is this even worth it?" But I did it anyway, too bad the reward was not all that great sadly....

[90sDBZ]

I totally agree they should have done a GT game in LOG style rather than that crappy Transformation game they made instead. That game was actually mean to have a sequel but it never happened.

In fact I've seen countless people say they'd rather have had a GT game in LOG style than Transformation. I don't know what the company in charge was thinking. The LOG series sold really well from what I know.

I actually enjoy playing through LOG1 despite its flaws. It might not be a great game like its sequels but I can beat it in under 2 hours so no big deal. Plus the music was pretty good and it included scenes from the show.

What B said. Legacy of Goku's just not the great game that I think they meant for it to be. The 'flying' mechanic is practically useless and the fights tend to be just run, get in a cheap punch, and run again OR run, charge Kamehamea, blast, run again. There's also the fact that you can only be Goku in it (whereas, if this had been made like it's sequels, I would have imagined the playable characters being Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta).

That said though, it's not the worst DBZ game by any means. I still get more out of it than say, Sagas. It's worth playing at least once to say you have and to judge for yourself, just don't go into it expecting a whole lot.

I did it too, and I agree. It was such a pain leveling him up. The only way I could manage it was to go to that one icy area (all I remember is that it was up North on the map I think, and it was a Dragon Ball location), using his camera flash trick to freeze the big dinosaur there, punch it repeatedly, then run like hell until I could freeze it again to do it all over. In the end, I managed to do it though. I'm proud to say I have everyone in both LOG2 and Buu's Fury at their highest levels.

Oh yeah, going back to the first Legacy of Goku, does anyone know what the actual max level you can get to in that game is? I usually seemed to plateau at about 25 or so, since that being halfway to the max of 50 in 2 seemed fitting, but technically you can go beyond if you just keep training...it'd just take forever due to how high the EXP requirements are after that. Does it even stop?
