Wii Critic Reviews

As much as I fell in love with this game, it isn't going to please everyone. It is short, easy and can be difficult to follow if you aren't familiar with the story already. It also sports a dated design, and I can't see anyone but the superfans forgoing all the other amazing games out right now to play this one.

Almost all fans of Dragon Ball will love Revenge of King Piccolo. The only annoying downside is that not all conversations have voice-overs, which makes you miss out on some of the typical humour. The gameplay feels a tad old, especially since you can compare it to Double Dragon. Personally, I loved that, since it's simple and addictive, whether you like Dragon Ball or not.

The main story mode is short, and there isn't enough depth to the battle system to keep tournament mode relevant for long. Still, Dragon Ball fans will still have a great time with this one.

The combination of classic game genres make for a title that is balanced, engaging, and loyal to the franchise. Once more, if you are a fan, don't hesitate to try this one out.

Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo isn't the best game about Goku and his friends, but it's an awesome way to introduce yourself in an accessible and fast pace gameplay. Also, the game's fidelity is prominent, so fans will be happy seeing Goku flying Nimbus once again.

With the beat 'em up genre making a resurgence lately, future developers need to take some notes from this great, but flawed, tale from Dragon Ball.

The game is a nice action/adventure, with an interesting combat system. But when it comes to the beat'em up section, it lacks depth and the fun disappears.

In short, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo is a good, but not great, brawling platformer.

There’s nothing wrong with a good beat-em-up, and that’s exactly what Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo is. Combining classic 2D style arcade brawling with a simple fighting game mechanic for added two player support, Wii’s latest Dragon Ball game is a fairly polished, well executed, mindless endeavor.

Despite its flaws this is still a good game that Dragon Ball origins fans shouldn't let escape.
