Game Description

Before there was Dragon Ball Z, there was Dragon Ball. It was the story of young Goku as he set off on a quest to collect the seven dragon balls. Take on that story entirely with the Stylus in this all-new action role-playing game which brings you all the way back to the beginning! Choose from more than 50 episodes. Once you've completed one, you can go back at any time. Attack, explore, and solve puzzles with an intuitive system on the Touch Screen. Build up your power with experience points. The 3D environment spans across both screens, beautifully showing you the Dragon Ball world!
