We’ve lost track of how many Dragon Ball Z games there have been, possibly because there are more than ten and that’s all the fingers we’ve got to count on. Still – one more won’t hurt, eh?
Rather than the many Dragon Ball beat-’em-ups there have been over the years, the DS-based Attack of the Saiyans is a role-playing game, and distinctly of the old school variety. In fact, it resembles nothing so much as the old Dragon Ball RPGs on the Game Boy Advance (phew, that’s going back a bit now), as your party of three characters wanders around exploring and fighting.
The touchscreen is used for very little, though, so while this may be a pleasant enough role-player, it’s very old-fashioned indeed.
