Glitchy, repetitive,and not much fun!!! 
2008-08-03
I bought this game when it first came out for $40. Total waste of money. I beat this game 100% in less than 6 hours with everything unlocked. The boss AI was pitiful, sometimes you could avoid boss attacks by levitating 1 foot off the ground. That's not even counting the glitches. Quite frequently me and my enemies disappeared completely. Twice a boss went underground and never came back up. And more times than I can count, when I got knocked down my character got stuck in the falling animation, meaning I did not hit the ground until I got hit again. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!
Very FUN!!!!!!!

I enjoyed this game alot. Now 4 some reason alot of reviewers here have been TRASHING this game with negative ratings. This is not an RPG game. I personally wasnt into the other Dragon Ball Z games because they were all Street Fighter type games. I enjoy fighting games but i enjoy an action adventure beat em up game even more cause they last longer. This is a great game. Now you wont find any ground breaking graphics here but i enjoy the overall animation and character design alot and i like the cell type shading the game has added in. Nice clips from the TV show are also thrown in. You either start with 1 player or 2 and theres an objective in each stage. Once you get to the end of the stage you fight a boss like Raditz, Napp etc. Now the games story takes place in the Saiyan saga so it starts with Raditz arriving on earth, kidnapping Gohan, and killing Goku. Its up to the Z fighter gang to get the 7 Dragon Balls to wish Goku back to life before the other 2 Saiyan's Vegeta and Nappa arrive. This game is 2 players and i kinda wish i had someone to join me in the fun.
Don't underestimate this game...

Don't believe all of those people who say that this game sucks. They, obviously, don't have a life. When I first played this game, I was immediately hooked. The graphics are amazing and gameplay is cool. One of the best things about this game is the "heavy blows" dealt to an opponent. When fighting a boss, depending on the scenery, you can hit him or her into the background. You can, also, do this to the foot soldiers throughout the game. The boss battles are the best battles in the game.
The only things that I don't like about this game is the music and the absence of the Buu saga. When fighting a group of enemies, the music never "pumps you up" in order to get ready for battle. The Buu saga should really be on this game. I hope that Japan will dish out a sequel to this game. I would buy it the day it comes out...
Believe me, if you are looking for a new experience in the world of Dragon Ball Z, then this is the game for you.

The Budoki Games Are Better 2006-06-28
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.
Never buy it

The first-ever Dragon Ball Z adventure game on Game Cube will take you deeper into the world of DBZ than you have ever gone before. Recreate the most exciting elements of the Saiyan-Cell Games Sagas, and experience all-new elements from the show that have never been seen before. It is a journey worthy of a Saiyan. Authentic DBZ combat system, including Ki attacks, smash attacks, and tactical teleporting Numerous secret areas, unlockable characters, and never-before-seen parts of the DBZ story Upgradeable characters Multiple game modes including Single player Adventure mode, Arena Arcade mode, and Team-based cooperative mode
well... 2005-05-30
This game has totally amazing graphics,but it is too short!Broley is awesomely strong and all,but the attack of the characters are kinda lame.The only things I like is the graphics and when you kick or punch someone and then they break a wall or something like that.Like I said,good but short.The missing thing is that it doesnt have versus,it only has story and coop and that is kinda well...lame.Still,the graphics maked me keep playing and well,since some of you people gave it such a short score,then Im giving it a 4.
What happened! 2005-04-28
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. (...)
You've got to be joking me.... 2005-04-27
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.
Amazing, DBZ Fans, Get Ready! 2005-04-23
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!
