The show's nearly 20 years old, and still my favorite of all time. Nothing's come close.

IMHO, the great game lines that Atari has been publishing has probably revitalized DBZ a lot, for the following reasons:

- The first Budokai still remains the best interpretation of the story (and just how good the chain of events has been), and features some very well done new story branches (the bonus Cell story just has to been seen to be believed).

- The second Budokai, while having the rather odd Dragon World boardgame, still took the game up from the pure CG look to a wonderful Cel-Shaded look that really makes the fighting engine look just like it came out of the TV show.

- The third Budokai offers the Dragon Universe single-player game, which is by far the most freeform and fun modes out there for exploring the entire story, from the beginning to after the Buu Saga.

- DBZ Sagas isn't the best one, but it does present much more of the story than the other (with original anime clips from the show included), although it only covers from the beginning to the Cell Saga like the first Budokai.

I really didn't like Sagas that much, it was way too easy.

It got old for me about 10 years ago, but then you can probably call that "natural evolution in my tastes"...

Eh, DBZ is alrighty, but it's after you see SO many episodes after each other, it gets old.

I mean, hasn't it been running since Toonami first aired like ten or eleven years ago?

I know.

If I were designing it, I'd have probably merged Dragon Universe's huge world into it instead of forcing it to be stage-by-stage.

That way, you could fly anywhere you want and do some side-questing while also pursuing the main story.

(Sure, that would make it more like Budokai 3, but with the 3D environment taking place of the 2D fighting engine, it'd just be that much closer to a "true" DBZ experience that just never was executed right in Sagas.)

Damn right Sagas was easy. I rented it and played non-stop and then 5 hours later i beat and had nothin to do. It's totally over rated
