The mindless combat, awful frame rate and lame graphics are Sagas biggest problems.
________________
The Bad: ....But this game is only 2 hours long - Awful frame rate and camera - Mindless button mashing combat - Ugly graphics and repetitive music - Only a few characters to choose from - No Majin Buu saga

When you have terrific fighting games making it one by one into the best sellers list, what do you do? you make an awful repetitve beat em' up using a great licence.
This game is meant to take you all the way back to the Saiyan saga (yet again) and recreate the Dragon Ball Z story with more action than previous fighting games. Sadly it doesn't do that. Instead it's a horrible button masher.
The gameplay is absolutely mindless, you only have to press two buttons, one for kicks and the other one for punches and that's it, you fight waves and waves of dumb enemies with two buttons, well you can unlock combos, but they're just ridiculously lame, you also use the x button to throw ki power and if you hold it you can do a special attack like Goku's kamehameha or Vegeta's Galick gun, though it's disappointing because they only have one special attack.
The whole game can take only two hours to beat it even in the hardest difficulty. The only real thing that takes time is defeating the bosses, and it's not because they're hard, it's because their life bar is really long.
There's very few replay value because you don't really want to do the same thing over and over. And the game only takes you from the Saiyan saga to the Cell Saga, it's like they completely forgot about The Majin Buu saga or Dragon Ball GT. The only real replay value comes from the 2 player multiplayer, which is kinda fun if you play it with the right person, but it also can get tediously repetitive.
After beating the main story mode you'll unlock the Pendulum Room, which is basically the same as the story mode, except this time you are free to choose the character you want. But there aren't really many characters, lt says there are almost 20, but they're different versions of the same (Goku, SS Goku, Saiyan saga Goku, etc...).
The graphics are lame, the may look like the series at first but when you take a look at them they're blocky and they make you feel like you're playing an N64 game. And the music is not good either, it's a bunch of repetitive tunes and uninspired voice acting.
The game doesnt perform well at all. It's filled with bugs and graphical glitches, for example: you may get stuck between two enemies or walls and you can't really do anything but reset the game and sometimes your character just freezes while your partner is doing a special attack without any reason, the only way to unfreeze your character is by doing a special attack yourself.
All in all Sagas is a very disappointing game, without any real value. It could be a good side mode for a fighting game, but as a game on it's own it just fails.
