Oct 25, 2016The perfect follow up to a great original game, as well as a wonderful way to get the DBZ story without re-watching the entire anime. Every aspect of the first Xenoverse is taken and expanded upon to great effect. Character customization is deeper, the campaign is longer, parallel quests have more substance, and the world itself has more life.
-
Dec 15, 2016Xenoverse 2 is a noticeable step up from the original and, even though its clich�, is a Dragon Ball fan's dream title. Between this and Fusions, the Dragon Ball series is on a win streak and I can't wait to see what's next.
-
Nov 1, 2016Dimps has listened to the Dragon Ball fans, that much is clear. Xenoverse 2 features more multiplayer options, streamlined gameplay and hours of entertainment. Still, it misses the co-op Story Mode and all-over it feels like a huge upgrade.
-
Oct 25, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is probably one of the best, if not the best, Dragon Ball games out there. Dimps improved every aspect of the first game: solid combat system, good graphic, spectacular animations and a totally new hub in Conton City. The camera has some issues here and there, but nothing to be worried about.
-
Nov 18, 2016Even though many of its elements are a rehash/ update from the previous game, Dragonball Xenoverse 2 comes with enriched content that will keep fans of the series busy for several hours.
-
Nov 16, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is still a marked improvement over the original. Smoother gameplay, more options and a lessened focus on RNG really show the developers have learned a lot over the past two years. The new character additions help too, but it's clear Bandai Namco is on the right track to take the series even further going forward.
-
Nov 4, 2016Great sequel with more content and lots of hours of enjoyment. A step forward for this saga.
-
Nov 3, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a substantial improvement on its predecessor.
-
Oct 30, 2016Broken DLC promises, long load times, and story padding hurt Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, but it is still a game with plenty of content for Dragon Ball fans to sink their teeth into. It has a large roster full of diverse fighters, endless character creation possibilities, a streamlined hub world, and an engaging story. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a vast improvement over the original, and should leave franchise fans satisfied.
-
Oct 27, 2016One of the best Dragon Ball game in the last years. Solid combat, good visuals and animations, overwhelming contents and a still perfectible camera system.
-
Oct 27, 2016The definition of a bigger and better sequel, Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 doesn't try to fix what isn't broken, and instead focuses on building upon the foundations of the first game. With a crazy amount of content to blast through - both online and offline - an improved combat system, and new ways to develop and customise your very own Dragon Ball hero, this is very much the definitive XenoVerse experience, and an absolute must for fans of Akira Toriyama's manga and anime epic.
-
Oct 26, 2016If you love fighting outside of the restrictions of grounded combat, flying through the air at great speeds whilst firing off some great combos feels free and exhilarating, even if it can become repetitive over time.
-
Oct 25, 2016The best game based upon Akira Toryiama's legendary series in quite some time. The combat feels more fluid and responsive than its predecessor, and it's packed with enough content to keep players busy for dozens of hours. A fun, if cliché, story mode acts as the cherry on top of what is an enjoyable action game with legs.
-
Oct 25, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 had a lot to live up to for fans of the franchise after the success of its predecessor, and while the game may not be for everyone, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 offers yet another satisfying experience for Dragon Ball fans that is not one to be missed.
-
Nov 2, 2016It's a step in the right direction to become the Dragon Ball game we all want. It's a game we really enjoyed and it won't disappoint Dragon Ball fans.
-
Oct 29, 2016It's for sure the most complete Dragon Ball game, although it shows some laziness in the process of evolving from the previous game. That being said, it offers really flashy visuals and tons of content.
-
Oct 30, 2016Xenoverse 2 is meant as the product that the original Xenoverse should have been. However, this brand new title lacks on innovation despite its additions. This game is more than the original, but we had expected much more improvements in its overall presentation.
-
Oct 28, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is the tie-in that the fans deserve: a game imbued with a visceral passion for the shōnen, rich in content and fun to play online.
-
Oct 28, 2016Specially recommended for those who are new to Xenoverse. Otherwise, you will find a constant Déjà vu feeling: I've done this before. And yes, you've done it.
-
Dec 6, 2016Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 is a fine experience for long-time Dragon Ball fans. It may come a little frustrating if you're not used to the series' structure.
-
Nov 23, 2016A competent fighter with solid RPG elements. Also a great fighter for people looking for a twist that that genre.
-
Nov 7, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a solid improvement over the original in most areas, but at the same time, it doesn't add much to the equation. Rather than adding a ton of new content, it focuses on fixing the flaws and annoyances of the original game. The result is a title that is at once mechanically superior to the original and less interesting. Fans of the original Xenoverse will find this to be a fun expansion, and newcomers would be better off starting with Xenoverse 2 rather than its predecessor. Some excessive loading times and a weak story drag down the experience, but it's still one of the best Dragon Ball games out there.
-
Oct 30, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, despite its issues, is still an improvement over the original Xenoverse, although minimally.
-
Oct 28, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is an ambitious , if rough-edged experience, with deceptively deep RPG and brawling elements.
-
Oct 27, 2016A bigger version of the first episode, with a lot of new things to do. A fun game, even if affected by repetitiveness in the long run.
-
Oct 25, 2016Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is overall fun, but too similar to its prequel. The story is practically the same and even the mechanics weren't improved that much. Plus, the graphics are very poor for a game only available on the latest consoles.

Dec 8, 2016Dragon Ball is ultimately a story about transformation, about the idea that people can change to become more than they are.
