Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu (ドラゴンボールZ 偉大なるドラゴンボール伝説/Greatest Dragon Ball Legend), Dragon Ball Z: The Legend as it was officially known in Europe, or Dragon Ball Z: Legends as many fans have come to know it by, is a fighting game for the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation. There were plans for a N64 version of Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu , but it was cancelled. For the most part, Densetsu follows traditional genre staples, however, it deviates in that the gameplay takes place in a spacious 3D environment in which combatants (who are 2D sprites) are able to interact with the surroundings. The crux of the fighting system consists of a "power struggle". At the bottom of the screen, a vibrant bar serves as an indicator of which fighter is winning the match. In order to defeat an opponent, the player must have the bar in his favor. Once this is accomplished, the player controlled character will perform a special attack that depletes the health meter of the opponent.
Defeating characters in the manner in which they were defeated in the manga will net the player extra points which unlocks an art gallery at the end of the game.
Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu was a popular game in Japan. A French language version under the name Dragon Ball Z: The Legend was released for the Sega Saturn in some countries in Europe (the PlayStation version remained only in Japan). However, it was never released in the United States due to the fact that the series was relatively unknown at the time being. There was a rumor of an intended release of the PlayStation version in the US to go along with Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 and the re-release of Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout, but this did not come to pass.
