2.0 out of 5 stars A real review, March 29, 2005

This review is from: Dragonball Z Sagas (Video Game)

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!

= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dragonball Z Sagas (Video Game)

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!

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Dragonball Z Sagas (Video 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.
