    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.

    It's an OK fighting game, but fans will love the amount of references and new ways to enjoy Dragon Ball that it offers. The camera and some tech issues are there, but it has some spectacular battles too.

    The battles you fight in are incredibly fast paced and frenetic, exactly what you would expect and hope for from a Dragon Ball game.

    The RPG elements of the game really do hold it back, as they feel under developed and tacked on, but the solid fighting mechanics and the ability to create something unique is a great draw that may keep me coming back just to be able to go Super Saiyan.

    Dragon Ball games have had a steady downward trend for several years now. But with Xenoverse the series makes a great debut on the new consoles, with fun and accessible battles. There is still plenty of room for improvements, but it is a good start nonetheless.

    Even though its gameplay design looks somehow dated, Xenoverse is a tribute that the "ultra fan" of Dragon Ball will surely appreciate.

    A lot of fussy distraction from the one-note combat. [Apr 2015, p.94]

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

    The    This game is an enjoyable and enthralling edition to the Dragonball series, as well as the most aesthetically pleasing of the lot.
    The fighting is easy to master, however, a percentage of the ultimate attacks simply do not have an effect on a target as effectively as they should.
    'Super Nova' and 'Giant Storm"are some of the mot effective ultimate attacks in the entire game and contrast with skills such as "Innocent Breathe', 'Vacation Delete' and 'Weekend' , which do no effectively work as they should.
    The storyline has good replay value and there are many skills to be learned, Be warned however if it is total completion of all achievements you seek then think again.
    Trying to gather all ultimate and super attacks as skills in the parallel quests is near impossible, as some quests simply wont drop the skill, no matter how many replays you commit to.
    Parallel Quest 33 is a prime example of a quest that will not drop a skill, such as 'Hellzone Grenade', having myself played this quest more than 100 times to no avail.
    Hopefully the game developers will notice this bug in due time and rectify the problem so hardcore gamers can go on to get all achievements for DBZ on the Xbox 1.    … Expand
