Dragonball Z: Sagas is now 10.00$ for PS2 & Xbox...That's less then a Greatest Hits game, jeez.

---> "Sagas" on Amazon.com @ $9.99

How very pathetic. To all those who would buy this game, I really consider renting first. Or you might end up like me, who's stuck with it...

This is great news for me. I don't have the game yet and I also have other games that I would like to buy. It's just one of those games that I haven't got around to picking up. Despite what I might here, It looks interesting enough. Besides, if you asked me, any DragonBall related game is worth $10.

Well, I already have the game, and don't regret buying it since it goes with myy collection of NA Ps2 DBZ games, I also had a little fun with the story mode as well (Namek-pre-Frieza, Yardrat, and History of Trunks sagas being the highlights to play out with my best friend). I'd say this is great news for other Ps2 collectors that have hesitated on buying Sagas, and I know quite a few of you have. C'mon now, it's reached $10, probably as cheap as the original Budokai is. I say take a shot at it.

I'm glad I have this game for collection sake, but the quality of this game just isn't what I expected! Atari could of made something along the lines of 3D Legacy of Goku.
I wish I waited for Sagas to hit the bargain bin!

Atari didn't make the game, they only published it, just like how a publishing company doesn't write a book, the author does. In this case the 'author' would be Avalanche, while Webfoot is behind the LOG games, DIMPS did the Budokai's, and Spike are the ones who made Sparking! (wow, that's a lot of companies).

And, truth be told, now that I've played Sagas, it's not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. I've definately played much worse. It's a better game than LOG1 is, at least. And so far (though I'm only as far as the Freeza fights) it's more fun overall than BT.

What we need is someone to fuse BT and Sagas... (and throw in a little B3 for the graphical flair and leveling systems) and put out a new Action/Adventure game. If done right, it would be a great game. (I mean, just picture BT with an actually good engine, and about 20 guys swarming you...) *sigh* Too bad it's just a dream.

Perhaps a release like that would give birth to the ultimate 3D DBZ RPG we both want

. By the way, Xyex, when'd you get Sagas? Be ready for the Trunks saga, that's my favorite part of the game. I hope you have a friend along your side.

God fucking damn it! No wonder the boxing day sales for the Gamecube were so cheap! It never keeps up anymore! **Wants all Z games and Dragon Quest 8**

I would still buy the game but for some reason they do not sell Dragonball Z Sagas in the UK

Got it yesterday, finally. The mail took forever. And sadly, no, I've got no one here that'd play it. Just have to wait until I move up to Canada, I'll get Jers to play.

Only if he turns Friendly Fire on and beats the crap out of you before you two can fight the first "boss". Otherwise, you both can just kick ass together, all the way to the climatic Cell Games. By the way, on the subject of the History of Trunks saga in Sagas, I love the second level, the raining during the traveling with Trunks is absolutely awesome, especially when lightning strikes and the screen color briefly inverts. Kind of reminds me of the raining-battle-damaged arena in Budokai 3. The cut-scenes are fun to watch as well while playing, certainly a hell of a lot better than Budokai Tenkaichi's attempt (just no Japanese VAs option

, obviously because Sagas is a North American only release).

$10 is a good price to have a hard copy of the new opening animation... That's the ONLY reason to get this piece of crap.

Not necessarily, you also forget it's the ONLY DBZ Ps2 game to contain Mirai Gohan/one-arm, it's the only Gamecube game to feature Bardock and Broly, and the Namek, Yardrat, and History of Trunks saga selections are pretty damn fun to play through. Also, only DBZ game where you can play the story out with a friend. Hmm ... let's not argue, Xyex just got the game and Dayspring has full fledged confidence on getting it with the first 2 Budokais, it would seem Sagas still peeks interest among the DB fandom.

I'll have to admit that I play Sagas only to come up with fanfic ideas. I've got one going where Mirai Gohan and Mirai Trunks (Young) gent sent back in time to the Saiyajin Saga. Thank you, Co-Op mode!

Oh no, he'll still want to "show me up". He gets insanely competitive with video games.

I don't get competitve. I just get into it. I like video games, and I like having fun playing them. It just so happens the only 2 player games we played were competitive ones, so that's what it seemed like.

Heh, I think that's happened to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2. At least a dozen or so of those copies are in the bargain bin at the 'Real Canadian Superstore' (you don't wanna know why). And all the bargain bin prices are $20 or lower. Funny thing...but half of the B2 copies are not Greatest Hits.

I don't really know about Sagas. Some of the stages were pretty cool, like the Mirai Trunks stage, the Cell Games conclusion, but others were just plain weird, like that Namek stage. I don't think I'll buy it, not after beating it already. It might not be the best of the Dragon Ball Z video game world, but hey, it could have been a lot worse. =)

You should see the Walmart near me. It has dozens and dozens of copies of Sagas just lying in the bargain bin. I think they were $25 Canadian.

I didn't pick it up though, I heard the game is really bad. Although, I am very tolerant with games, and am rarely dissappointed to the point where I regret buying something. Hell, I got a kick out of Final Bout and played it for a few weeks. I didn't think it was nearly as bad as people made it out to be.

But still, I'm low on money, and I should save it for games that are higher quality (I picked up Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition yesterday; yay!), not apparently mediocore and potentially bad games like Sagas.
(I say apparently and potentially because I haven't played it myself, so I shouldn't say it's bad because of other people's opinions

)
