Okay, I'll admit, I was excited about this game. I went out and bought it the day it was released. But it was really disappointing...

Positives:
+The sound. The music and voices were good.
+The combat. I like the combat system. One button is for kicking, one for punching, and one for ki blasts. By pushing a bunch of different buttons in order you make combos. I also like that you can purchase new moves and techniques with "Z coins" (found throughout levels)
+The destroyable environment. I like that I can kick my enemy into a rock and it explodes. I like how blasting a car makes it blow up.
+The Co-Op mode. You and a friend can play together through the missions.

Negative:
-The lack of gameplay. If you just sat down and played this game, you could easily beat it in under 8 hours.
-The lack of variety. There are about 3 different mission types and after awhil, everything just seems the same and you find yourself wondering "Didn't I do this already?"
-Not being able to go everywhere in a level. What I mean by that is you basically have a guided path to follow on each level. There are invisible walls keeping you from straying off course. I like to explore, so I don't like being limited to one area.
-Not having any VS battle mode. When I saw this was 2 player I was thinking more of battles, not co-op. Then I noticed it had co-op and I was like ok, cool. But then I noticed there was no battles. What if you just want to battle your friend in a level you unlocked with a character you unlocked? That would've given the game more variety.
-Very little replay value. Once you've played it through, you feel almost like it'd be a chore to go through it all again. It's one you'd put aside until you dust it off years later and play it out of curiosity...

The Verdict:
Diehard DBZ Fans: This is a must have. This is the only DBZ game out there right now that lets you wander around worlds. I'm sure you'd enjoy it.

Casual DBZ Fans: Rent it. I guarantee you'll beat it before you have to return it. If you like it after that and you have the extra cash, find it somwhere cheap and pick it up.

Children under 10: Put it on a birthday/holiday list. This is a good one for kids who can't do the puzzle solving of other games, or really advanced attacks. This game is really straightforward and easy for kids to understand.

Everyone else: Stay far away!

This is the first ever Dragonball Z RPG game. This game is going to come out on March 25 2005. This game has a few modes like story mode, CO-Op mode, pendulum mode (unlocked after you beat the game once), etc. The playable characters are Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Piccolo, and Trunks. In each mission in story mode, they will have a pre-selected character to strictly stick to the story line. After you have unlocked pendulum mode you can unlock these characters for the pendulum mode: Broly, Bardock, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha. The environments you will be in will be fully destructible. All in all this a great game for any true DBZ fan.

Not what you'd think....

Not as good as it was supposed to be. The minute I had bought the game, I was so excited until I played it and beat it in the next hour. The game is so short! This game let me down. This isn't the first DBZ RPG game because you have to take in account that The Legacy of Goku games and Buu's Fury and the other GBA games are RPG. Another letdown, only goes up to Cell saga. Only one character goes SS2 and there some stupid new mini saga with some guy they made up that goes after Freiza Saga. A lot of glitches. If you keep on fighting, you will eventually disappear from the screen, but your opponent can see you and still be able to attack you. I wonder why it's $39.99 for GCN but $49.99 for PS2 and Xbox? I'll give it a generous 3/5.

Amazing, DBZ Fans, Get Ready!

This game is one of the most awesome games i have every seen and played. I love the fact that you can upgrade your attacks and stuff with little "z" coins found throughout the level. The one thing that makes this game better than Budokai is that this isn't just a fighting game, this is an adventure-fightingish type of game. THe only thing that i was kindo f disapointed about was the Co-op mode. I thought you could battle each other and i was like Awesome! But then i found out that you work together, not against. Still, don't let this make you sad cause this is SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH an AWESOME GAME!

The Budoki Games Are Better

I brought the game beacuse I heard it was a adventure game insteed of a fighting one so I picked it up and decided to play it. After a few levals the game got a little boring but when you get to the end of each one you get to fight a boss which is the best part of the game.

Pros

Lots of charecters

Fun Bosses

Sceans From The Anmie

Cons

Bad Camra

Some Pictures Messed Up

Needs The Buu Saga

Over all there should be a sagas 2 with the other sagas and better graphics. If you want a DBZ fighting game get Budoki Thenkiichi.

You've got to be joking me....

i am an extreme DBZ fan and I was really mad when i bought this game. Atari seemed to be trying their best to capture the feel of the Dragonuniverse with Budokais 1-3, 3 being perhaps the best. However, they didn't pull it off with sagas. For starters, There aren't really good cut scenes, just little movies that tell you whats going on. Without cut scenes like those in Budokai 1, i didn't really feel as if I was really involved in the game play. Then, you only got one special attack and I was really po'ed that you couldn't use the spirit bomb or final flash. Also, there just isn't enough going on to keep you entertained. You are pretty much walking around casually, killing and picking up crap here and there.Finally,if you even last that long (many of my friends just quit), the end sucks. Why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO END!!!!!! The only bonuses you are given at the end are the ability to play any stage with new characters such as Broly and Bardock and all those movies that you've already seen throughout the game. No tournaments, no nothing. I thougtht I got punk'd.

Never buy it

There are a lot of things wrong with this game.But the concept of the game is fun and would be a good game without the low production values First every character is the same except broly. The game feels like it was rushed do to deadlines. The combat is clunky and sometimes my guy disappears in mid air. simpley put-the worst dbz game ever

The first Dragonball Z RPG game for GCN, XBOX, and PS2. Play through the Saiyan, Frieza, and Cell saga as Goku or one of his friends. One of the newer things is, theres a Co-Op mode! This is going to be an awesome game!

Too good yet too short

This is a very good game. It's an RPG for Gamecube, Playstation 2 and even Xbox. Sagas is a nice change from Budokai because it isn't just about pure fighting, its also more of an adventure game. The battling's decent enough, and the ability to purchase your skills with "Z" coins is a new twist. Not only that, but it is even a co-op game meaning you can play "with" a friend rather than battling them. The one problem is that it is too short. It only covers the saiyan saga through the cell games saga. To use this game to its fullest I would suggest starting with tutorial to learn the controls, then do the easy mode to get the hang of the game until you work your way to the normal and hard difficulties. And there's always the pendulum room for after you've done all of this. If you use these tips hopefully DragonBall Z: Sagas will give you many hours of fun.

What happened!

Ok, bottom line, DBZ budokai 1 and 2 sucked! I gave 1+2 a 2/5. but i gave 3 a 4/5! I was expecting the same thing in sagas. I wanted to love this game, but i didn't. The frustrating camera angles and bad gameplay makes this game suck. These dudes can fly! And yet, you can only get 6 feet of the ground is DBZ sagas! I don't care what anyone says, this a pathetic platformer. (...)
