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!

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.

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

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.

An Excellent Game for DBZ Fans

First of all, I would like to clear some things with this game that other people say. One, this game is pretty good in fighting. I like the fact that you can upgrade you attacks with "Z" coins found throughout the game. One thing that most people get wrong is that the 2-player is not fighting against each other. It is in co-op mode, working toghether throughout the game, although that is pretty cool. Overall,l i give this game a 5-star rating for fighting!

Not bad, not great

I bought this game a few weeks ago, i'll start by saying how short it is. If you play a hard mode, and don't die, it may take about ten hours. The easy level and normal level are a cake walk, only do them for a warm-up. There is no way to change the camera angle by yourself, and some of the graphics aren't that good, also, when you go super saiyan, or super piccolo, it's very hard to stay powered up. Despite these shortcomings the game is fairly good. Collecting powerups, and z-coins for upgrades makes the game a lot of fun, and some of the battles are very challenging. The game also has great replay value. After you beat it, you unlock the pendulum room, which lets you play any levels with any character. Even many new charaters because only five are availabe. Regular characters fromthe story-line like tien, numerous versions of the main charcters, and other people who have nothing to do with anything, like bardok (father of goku), and broly, who is always super saiyan, and kicks butt. Although the game only goes through the cell saga, it still brings an interesting twist to the DBZ universe. If you buy it, you'll definetely find faults in it, but it is still good to pick up and play once in a while. Besides, its a good way to prepare you for budokai 3 on the cube when it comes out.

Excellent service

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.

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!
