Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury review (Game Boy Advance)

Early on in the game, you'll receive a pair of one-ton boots and arm bands, which slow down your character considerably, but in return, these items give you a huge experience bonus when fighting enemies. If you wield these items long enough, you'll simply become accustomed to the movement of your character, and you'll level up at an amazingly fast rate.

It's worth noting that your characters are already incredibly powerful to begin with, but they will become more powerful at an alarming rate by simply using these items throughout the game, which, in turn, allows you to breeze through the most difficult of chapters. On the same token, as your attacks become more and more devastating with each level gained, you'll also find that the bosses you encounter become easier to beat. Sadly, each and every boss encounter can be made even easier by mashing your melee attack button and backing the boss into a wall, where you can simply continue to tap the A button until you win. It's a shame to see that while this game features the most refined gameplay in the series, it has such a shameless exploit. In addition to this, the game also has only a dozen or so unique enemies, and as the game progresses you'll notice only slight variations in the foes you face.

On that note, the game also recycles some of the graphics used in the previous game, and in some cases, it even lifts entire maps. While, by and large, most of the areas in the game are new, these few cases make it feel not as original as it ought to feel. Be that as it may, Buu's Fury is at times an exciting game that fans of Dragon Ball Z will probably find fairly enjoyable.
