    WELL...I GIVE THIS GAME A...10 out of 10!

    This is my favorite Dragon Ball game until now, I think you should try it, even if your not a Dragon Ball Fan, welp...bye I guess

    I have enjoyed this game for two years and I just have to say that it is absolutely fun, it is one of my favorite fighting games, I love its mechanics. I daresay it's the best Dragon ball game ever made. I would have liked it to have a single player mode similar to other DB games, because the single player mode is too boring, but as a fighting game it is great.

    The game is really good the graphics and all that staff the only thing missing is that the story is terrible, I only played the story to unlock a character. Another thing is that the achievements especially the 530.000BP and 20.000.000 zeni are really hard.

    I could put a huge list of great things about this game but I'm going to put it simple:

    I'm loving everything, every single thing about this game! Right when you get to see the graphics you get hooked, omg they are so astonishing. This db game has the best graphics ever. It beats all of all its successors even the db: kakarot game. The Fighting is so smoth and it feels great to play it.

    I heard that the game company that made Narutimitstom4 made it.
    Maybe that's why I can guarantee action games.
    I feel like I made King of Fighters into a 3D game.
    It's the most dragon-ball-like feeling of all the Dragon-ball games!
    One thing I regret is that it would have been better if I had followed the story as it was in the original cartoon.

    Bon jeux de combat 2.5D , si je le passe pas dans le vert c'est a cause des personnages payants , pour moi les personnages devrait être compris dans le jeux et non pas vendu en surplus , l’intérêt de jouer n'est plus la après quelques heures , si il était déblocables ce serait bien mieux et un peu plus étiques

    Soy un fan de Dragon Ball desde que tengo recuerdos, ya que de los primeros que tengo Goku y sus amigos son los protagonistas.

He jugado a todos y cada uno los videojuegos que existen de este manganime y evidentemente ha habido de todo. Títulos realmente buenos y otros verdaderamente lamentables. FIghter Z es una oportunidad perdida para hacer un juego perfecto en mi opinión. Comprendo que como juego competitivo es muy bueno y mucha gente se conforme con eso pero yo lo analizo como videojuego en general y como título de dragon ball en particular.
    Gráficamente el juego es una delicia en movimiento, las animaciones son increíbles y los modelados realmente espectaculares. Sin duda en este apartado es el mejor título que se ha visto jamás. Aunque las escenas animadas de la historia son muy muy lamentables...aunque ese tema vendrá después.
    En cuanto al sistema de combate estamos ante el que es posiblemente el mas técnico que ha visto nunca en un título protagonizado por Goku y los personajes están increiblemente bien diferenciados y balanceados. Es cierto que no es el mas fiel a cómo deberia ser una pelea de Dragon Ball pero para eso ya está el tenkaichi.
    Estos apartados son buenisimos como habeis leido pero claro...ahora llega todo lo malo. Los modos de juego.
    El modo historia es infame. Infumable. Lamentable. La historia que nos cuentan es mala y además esta muy mal contada. El modo no deja de ser combates repetitivos en una especie de tablero el cual no tiene ningún aliciente moverte y siempre es lo mismo. Es el peor modo que recuerdo de un videojuego de Dragon Ball. El modo historia de budokai 2 el cuál se parece a éste era muchisimo mas entretenido y variado. El del budokai 1 y 3 eran también muy superiores y que decir tambien de los del tenkaichi...incluso el supersonic warriors de GBA tenia un modo principal más entretenido.
    El problema es que no tiene ningún modo mas interesante ya que solo nos quedaría un arcade sin alicientes y un modo torneo demasiado generico, nada que ver con los modos torneo de los budokai. Evidentemente tenemos el modo online pero no es suficiente.
    Este es el gran problema del juego, no te da alicientes para seguir jugando. Si solo te interesa jugar combates online una y otra vez pues perfecto, este juego te encantará seguramente pero eso no quiere decir que sea un juego perfecto.
    También es muy criticable la poca cantidad de personajes de inicio y que haya habido tantos dlcs aunque esto es el pan de cada día en la actualidad.
    En resumen, una gran oportunidad perdida de haber podido sacar el título de dragon ball perfecto pero que todavía tendremos que esperar mientras ese trono lo tiene tenkaichi 3 y budokai 3.

The first failures of the game is the balancing of characters, many of the characters are balanced in absurd ways, however this is positive, since if not, we could never have an equally worthy combat between videl (a normal and ordinary Earth almost without powers) and beerus (the god of destruction of that universe) but hey, this is not as serious as the following things. One of them is its story mode, yes, I know that fighting games should not be so demanding with the story mode, but games like for example: mortal kombat 11 and tekken 7 at least deign to try to write a good story to give reasons to fight the characters, which dbfz does with great difficulty because the story seems to be written by a fan who wanted to satisfy his deepest desires. And the last and most important thing, the Achilles heel of the game, the DLC characters. Dlc characters are always welcome in fighting video games, however, this one in particular has a problem, if you buy them for pleasure or other reasons, go ahead no one prevents you, but if you want to get into the competitive game, you have it clear kid , the game has 19 dlc characters, of which the vast majority are used in the competitive and some of them are almost mandatory to learn how to handle them if you want to enter here, but nothing happens, it is possible to dedicate yourself to competitive without having to go through box, unless you want a beating. In summary, despite its inordinate amount of strange decisions, the game is quite fun and can be enjoyed casually, in addition to the ultimate edition that brings 9 dlc characters is discounted which should be taken advantage of.… Expand

The story mode ain't half bad, the only problem i had was with the AI of story mode, they passively attack and are boring to play against, not to mention you need to clear all of them to make your team stronger. competitive wise it is ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTING GAMES IN YEARS. I am 500 Hours into the game and still not thinking of not playing it.

It’s probably just me, but I was hoping for some customization of characters, like picking a load out if moves or whatever, or some kind of progression system. To be fair, there is a progression system in the story mode. But it’s bare bones and didn’t do it for me. Again, lots of people love this game so it’s doing something right. The matches are fast paced and have a good intense feeling… Expand

    A Dragon Ball fighting game that we’ve been waiting for since forever loosing hope along the way. It was designed with obvious deep understanding of the source material, visually it’s almost undistinguishable from the anime and it embodies the 'easy to learn, hard to master' rule, which makes it both interesting for BlazBlue veterans and accessible to newbies lured by the Dragon Ball license.

    The single player modes aren’t particularly engaging, and the broken online makes engaging in the multiplayer take way longer than it needs to. Those lucky enough to have a thriving local fighting scene are the real winners here until the servers are sorted out. FighterZ isn’t entirely my thing, but it’s easy to see that it’s as well-made, polished, and fanservicey as humanly possible.
