Play Dragonball Advanced Adventure (Rising Sun) Online

Summary

Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure (often called Rising Sun) feels like a love letter to classic side‑scrolling beat ’em ups. While you blaze through platforming, flying, and one‑on‑one stages, you can snag health‑boosting items, ki upgrades, and even the iconic Dragon Balls; clearing the story mode also unlocks Krillin as a playable hero.

The One‑on‑One mode channels the spirit of X‑Men: Children of the Atom, offering a roster of 30 fighters you can pit against each other in any arena you choose, with adjustable match lengths. Defeating a character in story mode adds them to the fighting roster, and a two‑player multiplayer option mirrors the same depth.

After finishing Goku’s story, Extra Mode opens up, letting you revisit any level with all the hidden red doors now accessible and a richer spread of collectibles. Finding all 54 items unlocks a suite of minigames, and 28 secret characters—like Tien, Yamcha, and General Blue—become playable once you locate their hidden portraits.

Critically, the game earned generally favorable reviews, landing a 75/100 on Metacritic. Japanese magazine Famitsu scored it 29/40, while outlets such as GameSpot, GameSpy, and IGN hovered around the 7‑to‑8‑out‑of‑10 range.
