"Overall, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is probably one of the best, if not the best, Dragon Ball related games out there – and there are a lot. You can replay missions to enhance your character. There are various trainers to go on missions for. It also has time travelling - and that’s always a good thing." ... Read full review

After the atrocities of Ultimate Tenkaichi, Battle of Z and DragonballZ Kinect, this is a breath of fresh air. The game is extremely enjoyable and fun, I'm so glad the story isn't the same typical dragonballz story that we've played dozens of times already. It essentially is the same story, yet with a huge twist to it, making it completely different and unique.

With the new character creator aspect of the game and rich customisation, I'd say this game is in the top 5 Dragonball games of all time. It looks great, sound great, plays great and is great. I'm having so much fun with it.… Expand

I was lucky enough to get myDimps has done it again and we finally have been delivered an amazing DBZ game. The one we've been waiting for. I was lucky enough to get my copy early and I've put a good eight or nine hours into it so far. I've loved every second of it. The gameplay is amazing and actually requires skill. It's not just a button masher or a game of chance. You're actually in control and if you're a DBZ fan, this is exactly what you've been waiting for. The story? Something new and exciting. I won't say any more than that due to not wanting to spoil anything, but it's new. Not to mention, it isn't something you're going to beat in a single sitting. As stated previous, I've put eight or nine hours into the game so far... I'm barely into the Freiza Saga. Perhaps with there being so much to do I'm a little distracted, but rushing the story honestly isn't possible. It requires actual 'training' in a sense and I love that about it.

Everything about this game is just... wow. The custom characters, the skills/clothing, the combos, the story, the side quest... Just all of it. If you've been waiting for a good DBZ since the PS2 era... this is it. I highly recommend giving this game a chance if you're on edge due to the DBZ games we've been getting for the last couple of years. In just eight hours, this one has taken the top of my list as the best DBZ to date.

Side note, online runs great and smoothly! I was honestly expecting a fairly bad online experience... I was proven wrong though. It runs great and playing with friends and even strangers regularly adds for tons of fun on its own. Haven't experienced so much a single 'skip'.

Anyways, I hope this was helpful for anyone who may of been on the fence.… Expand

Xenoverse is anHere's the thing, if you're looking for a "traditional" (or about as traditional DBZ games get) fighter game, look away. Xenoverse is an action game with some RPG features, and it hardly counts as a "fighter", but that's why I enjoyed it.

Good:

-Let's be honest, you're looking at this because of the character creator, and it does deliver. It's not the greatest in the world, but there are enough options to make your character feel "special". I felt attached to my little guy, who was voiced by the guys from DBZ abridged (voice 8).

-The story is new and unique and feels like an actual DBZ story, which is good and bad. Still, it kept me invested and I couldn't help but smile when DBZ characters acknowledge your existence as you get ready to fight.

-As far as I know (I haven't played every DBZ game) for the first time EVERY move is different. No more repaints of the kamehameha. From the Galick Gun to the double sunday, each melee and blast attack has different features. You now have a reason to pick and choose your moves besides their names.

Meh (things that could be good or bad depending on who you are)

- Combat gets throne under the bus quite a bit for this game. Here's the problem. Later missions can get really hard, and it's not a question of being under-leveled. Having a 7 majins fighting you with no allies is straight up difficult because of how the game works, regardless of level. As much as I tried to not fall back on it, I ended up "going SS and throwing unlimited supers at them". But that was only in a pinch, when the missions demanded it. Honestly, I loved throwing myself in the middle of the fray. The combat is fun, and if you can keep your character equal to the enemies, you should be having too much fun to want to just sit back and throw supers.

-The RPG elements are cool, but not as prevalent as you'd think. The bonuses armor give you are virtually unnoticeable. (you can check your stat chart when viewing your presets, and you'll need good eyesight to see any change even when you have a ton of 5x multipliers.). That being said, that means you can wear whatever you want because it really doesn't matter. If cool looking armor has crap stats, oh well, it doesn't make a difference. So that's kinda nice, kinda dumb depending on how you look at it.

That being said, allocating stat points in conjunction with the skills you unlock does matter, and I loved to watch my character go from a in-your-face close range expert to a blast throwing beast (ironically much like the characters in the show throughout the series).

Bad
- Just lacks some polish. Spelling errors and small things like having to run back to the PQ hut after every quest can break immersion. You kinda wish everything was a little deeper, but it's a new IP so hey, everything can't be Last of Us.

-DLC. enough said. I hate that crap.

Honestly the game is more of a 8.5-8.8, but yeah. Can't pick that so we'll go with the 9. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did.… Expand
