How it plays
The game uses an overhead perspective. Players explore towns, wilderness areas, laboratories, and battle zones while following the story and completing optional objectives.
Combat is real-time. Characters move around enemies, use basic attacks and special techniques, gather items, and exploit each hero’s strengths. Experience and upgrades improve combat performance, while story events unlock new areas, characters, and abilities.
The main adventure is structured around story chapters, side quests, collectibles, and boss encounters. Several characters can be used, with the active hero changing as the story progresses.
Plan your run
Explore each area thoroughly before leaving. Talk to non-player characters, inspect objects, and complete side quests because useful items and experience are often found away from the main path.
Use the character best suited to the encounter. Avoid trading damage with strong enemies, keep moving during combat, and save healing items for difficult fights. Upgrade abilities regularly and return to earlier areas when new powers open previously inaccessible routes.

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku II is an action role-playing adventure developed by Webfoot Technologies and published by Atari for the Game Boy Advance. It follows the events of the Cell Games arc, beginning with Gohan and the other Z Fighters investigating the Android threat and preparing for Cell’s arrival. The game combines overhead exploration, real-time combat, quests, light puzzle solving, and character progression. Players travel through familiar locations, collect items, complete errands, and strengthen several playable heroes. Compared with the first Legacy of Goku, it was widely regarded as a major improvement because of its larger world, more varied missions, better combat, and stronger presentation. It is often considered one of the better Dragon Ball games released for the Game Boy Advance.
