Summary ITS JUST OK

Pros: SOUND: Somewhat decent sound samples and music.
Cons: PRESENTATION: Lackluster everything: manual, interface, graphics and sound. GRAPHICS: Smooth character animation, but everything else looks terrible. Super low-res textures and bland design throughout. GAMEPLAY: Sloppy control muddles experience. Overall, a monotenous, frustrating beat em' up LASTING APPEAL: If, for whatever cosmic reason, you finish the game, you'll find some hidden characters and stages.

Reviewer's Comments

In the end, Dragon Ball Z: Sagas fails in all departments. It's nowhere near as fun or functional as the Budokai games, and completely fails in taking the series into a new direction. Admittedly, the concept sounds fun. Assuming the role of your favorite DBZ character and running amok in free-form environments sounds like a damn good time. Unfortunately, improper execution detonates any fun Sagas potentially contained. The camera blows and the enemies lack intelligence. Control, the most important factor in many games (and certainly fighting games) suffers from a lack of precision and finesse. Most of the environments feel bland, and level layout is equally uninspired. To sum up, there's just not much to recommend here. Especially considering Sagas is a full priced game. Buyers beware! You want to stay away from this one. Miles and miles away.
