    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the camera makes mistakes every now and then, and the AI is horrible on both sides of the spectrum, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is personally one of my favorite games from 2016. This game feels like the Pokemon X and Y of all Dragon Ball Z video games. Revolutionary graphics, especially in cutscenes, impressive character customization, and gameplay that didn't make that much that was new as much as it did improve upon what Xenoverse 1 did. The story is not exactly the best thing ever, but it was actually much better than I thought it would be, considering the standards set by the first game. In Xenoverse 2, Bardock is sent way forwards in time and mind controlled by Mira and Towa, who are working with popular DBZ movie villains Turles and Lord Slug. With their power, combined with Metal Cooler, the androids, and your Xenoverse 1 avatar if you so choose to transfer over data, Xenoverse proves through and through that it can make a good DBZ game with character customization. Before, either the customization was limited, the voice acting was bad, the character didn't feel unique, or all three. But Bandai Namco did a surprisingly good job with this Dragon Ball Z sequel.

    I'm a huge fan on the dragonball franchise and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is probably one of the best Dragon Ball games out there. It has a unique story which continues from the first Xenoverse game. The fighting mechanics are good and easy to learn. All the races are more evenly competitive. I have put in around 125 hours into the games and I still find enjoyment of opening the game andI'm a huge fan on the dragonball franchise and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is probably one of the best Dragon Ball games out there.

The negatives of the game is that its very similar to the first Xenoverse ( pro or con depending on how mch you enjoyed Xenoverse ), some parts of the story feels like it being dragged on. Other than that i can not find anything else wrong with the game and I would highly recommend any dragonball fan to play it. Expand

    Positives: better graphics, bigger city, more customizations, more playable characters.

    Negatives: the story, at the beginning it is a copy of the first game, afterwards becomes totally messed... The music is simply awful. The game is still a beta with many bugs, moves that miss the target, characters that dissapear in the walls, casting moves that never happens... Bandai also changed

    Easily the best dragonball gaming experience I have ever had. DBXV was a decent game but the sequel improves it on every front. I am not sure how I feel about the 3 hours per day lobby system but that's about the worst I can say about it.

    In spite of the glitches and Random crashes, it is still a massive upgrade from his predecessor by avoiding some of the traps and finally becoming a more fast-paced version of the Budokai Tenkaichi series, with much less cheesy ways to win.

    Solid fighting mechanics. Better than the original with lot's of content. Servers can be a mess though. I had a lot of fun with it and I'm sure most fans of the series will too.

    Gran juego de la saga, aunque no innova en casi nada con respecto al 1, pero por lo menos no nos cobraron de nuevo por el contenido de personajes, sino agregando mas, siendo el segundo juegos de la saga dragon ball con mas personajes.

    Admittedly this is just a copy of Xenoverse with some minor improvements. That said, that is all that is required for this to be an enjoyable experience with many hours clocked in creating a DBZ character.

    I thought that the game would be so-so, but when I played this game, I really liked it very much like the first one, only it differs only in high graphics, changed plot, adding characters to the DLC that cost money, musical themes, new skills, new maps of battle locations and quests. But it remained the same as that game only with the appearance of changes.

But it remained the same as that game only with the appearance of changes. The characters themselves in the DLC have best skills that can be killed with skills quickly there are also bad skills from which there is little sense, in addition, they added several modes so that they play a lot and spend money to at least earn skills,clothes, and so on... The game itself turned out to be normal and not bad, I advise you to play. Expand

    Cool game. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 have really worked out battle system. Also there are a lot of cool quests and unique story. The only, kinda big, problem - collisions, they s%ck.

    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.
