    Everything seams to need polishing. In-game game play is about the only good thing about this one. The fighting is OK but too loose. Everything outside the game play like GUI, animations and sound feels like it is done on an amateur level. 3 hours then I bounced.

    I think this game is really good. Raging Blast 2 is still a bit cooler in terms of fighting. But to create your own fighter is really awesome.

    Xenoverse 2 is a MMO DBZ fans dream. Perfect for customization, roleplaying, exclusive content for the xeno universe, and a tcg figurine game. But it is not perfect. Needs better online, so it can kick the cheaters and stop the lag. Needs to find a way to still do events, when enough people aren't online. Need to revamp combat so it can be on par with Tenkaichi series. Give pc playersXenoverse 2 is a MMO DBZ fans dream.

Lastly, we need better expansions or updates, especially when you aren't going to release xenoverse 3 right away.… Expand

    Not a big fan of this game. New dragon balls games are very similar to previous ones. All remembers to budokai tenkaichi.

    I think this game is the perfect example of great idea, mediocre execution. I think the idea of playing through the db story is great but, it is just the same thing. I think it would've been great if we started in the first Dragon Ball series and work through that story, then build into Z and super. Starting off at the Radizt every time gets boring.

I think it would've been great if we started in the first Dragon Ball series and work through that story, then build into Z and super. Starting off at the Radizt every time gets boring. I also think there should've been what if's like in the budokai series like "what if Vegeta had SSJ3?" so we don't need to rely on the modding community for that. Also there is the bad online, and NO ANIMATED TALES. But most of these problems are fixed with the game's biggest pro (at least for PC), the modding community. The modding community is great and adds, fixes many singleplayer problems with the game. But with the lackluster plot, and the lack of innovation are big problems for the game. But it does have many pros, like the modding community on PC, solid combat, and great ideas. This game will have another sequel in the future and I think this is just another stepping stone for the XV series.… Expand

    Could be better with new story with same universe, more normal RPG system. Event without SSajan talent. Now its just mining ideas from series. Optimization is bad, but acceptable.

    While Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 may be a better game than the original, it is by no means excellent. The story seems like an uninspired rehash, and the minimal roster changes makes it feel like a director's cut instead of a true sequel. On the PC in particular, the online community is practically extinct, and the game's semi-frequent crashes disappoint. If you're willing to put up with all that, you'll be treated to a game that feels like what the original should have been, and the fighting system is chaotic and fun. Provided this one does well, here's hoping that another sequel manages to get everything right.

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 should be an instant buy for long time fans of the series, and warrants a deep look from everyone else. I’d love to see a bit longer of a gap between this and the (hopefully) inevitable Xenoverse 3 than the year between the first and second titles to really hammer out some of the game’s issues, but until then we’ve still been left with a fighting game that does enough well, and enough different from its competitors, to stand worthy as it is.

    Dimps has created a sequel to Xenoverse that doesn’t quite feel like a massive advancement in the series, but there is no doubt that this is a larger and more improved experience. Dimps has decided to keep things similar and use the first game as the foundation to build this sequel on. What this means is that there is so much to do, even when one has finished up the 15 hour single player story quests.
