Dragon Ball DS is an interactive retelling of the popular manga/ anime series. Instead of having Goku as an omnipotent fighter, the DS action adventure takes the players back to Goku's childhood, the time when he met Buruma and begins his journey for the 7 dragon balls.
As a full fledged action adventure, elements such as puzzle solving, fights and memorable scenes are fully incorporated. The game makes use of the twin screen feature of the Nintendo DS, keep an eye on both screens as you can attack enemies on the upper as well as on the lower.
The two screens are working as one when the game shows memorable scenes, so expect the fearsomeness of dragons or the hilariousness of the comic elements to affect you at tenfolds.
Aside from the twin screens, the touch screen feature is also fully utilized, drag Goku across the screen the speed at which you drag your pen affects his speed as well. Change from fist fighting mode to weapon fighting mode to activate the different abilities of the character.
