    Its not that awesome but definitely its a good game. The story is not great, but decent

    Pros: + Challenging level difficulty + Character Customization (Overall; appearance, skills, accessories, etc.) + Good Animations/Cut scenes + Combat System Cons: - Some poor environments - Boring and unattractive main city (lobby) - Sometimes its hard to understand what to do.

    Awesome game, have it on X1 and PC, plays like a mini fighting mmo, with just enough to keep you busy and happy.
    Combat system is great, so as is the costumization options, making builds and mix + matching skills/z-souls/equipement is awesome, it reminds me of the good old days of CoH/CoV build making time sinks, luv it, best game this year for me :)

    Dragon Ball Xenoverse is the game that says it all. For the first time, you don't have to fight characters you fought on previous Dbz games, or be characters like good throughout the whole game. You finally can be someone else, and they have integrated this pretty good. Get it if you know what's good for you.

    This game is a solid 8/10. The entire game feels roughly made, with a lot of glitches and missed translations. Connecting on-line seems impossible at this point. There isn't enough of the DBZ universe included, and customization while good, is missing a lot of essential things.

The entire game feels roughly made, with a lot of glitches and missed translations. Connecting on-line seems impossible at this point. There isn't enough of the DBZ universe included, and customization while good, is missing a lot of essential things. That said, the overall format of the game, with it's interesting story, character creation and customization, and side quests make it quite a good deal of fun. The actual fighting mechanics are interesting but fall somewhat short of previous games(even battle of Z recently, but there is a lot to do even after beating the game(unlike battle of Z), which can take a while itself. I hope DLC improves the game in the future, and hope they decide to make a sequel to improve on the foundation of what could be a great new string of games.… Expand

    This game is very great and i really enjoyed it!
    It's a fighting game with MMO element. Very good graphics for a next gen consoles and PC. Character creation and clothes variation are spot on. Game uses story line from anime with a twist, moveset and game's freedom is just incredible, very easy to understand controls for the combos, game is also filled with various sense of humor.

    However some gameplay elements were changed, as for a con, combos feel pretty weak that other dbz titles had (games like Tenkaichi 3 or Raging Blast). Difficulty spike is also can be a problem with character progression which will reward player earned experience. There is also a possibility that some quests won't be unlocked fully when requirements are met.

    This game is a major improvement over the games like Ultimate Tenkaichi and Battle of Z, however it's still has minor flaws.
    Check it out for yourself. If you're DBZ fan, then I guarantee that you will love it instantly.    … Expand

    A really great game, an interesting combination of RPG and fighting game with 47 characters to choose (although the old Budokai Tenkaichi 3 have a lot).
    The graphics are good for ps4 however could be better.
    The sound is simply perfect, good melodies and nice effects.

    For me, the best Dragon Ball game, beating BT3 in many aspects, a must have game.

    Easily the best DBZ game since Budokai 3 for PS2. Dimps has done a great job making a easy to learn yet in depth fighting system, while incorporating RPG elements into a core fighting game. The character creator is well done, the story is a nice twist on DBZ (how nice to fight along the bad guys and smash Goku's face in) and the co op is a lot of fun and runs very smooth.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse has the voice of Nappa from Dragon Ball: Abridged as a voice for custom characters.

    Absolutely perfect game. Ten out of ten. Best game.

    This is a great game for any fan of Dragon Ball Z, the story is interesting even if you've already seen all the arcs because of the 'What if?' scenarios. The game play is addicting, it's very fast paced and fun to play. However the game is not with out it's faults, the camera can be hard to work sometimes and there are noticeable frame drops during some of thee bigger attacks.

    I was waiting a lot for a new Dragon Ball game, and Xenoverse is a present for me, I played on Xbox One so I don't know hows the PS4 version (and the 360 and PS3) the battle system is pretty sweet, making your own character is awesome, also, training with your dragon ball favorite characters? AWESOME! 10/10 GAAAAAAME! but no, I still have some negative points about my experience, in theI was waiting a lot for a new Dragon Ball game, and Xenoverse is a present for me, I played on Xbox One so I don't know hows the PS4 version (and the 360 and PS3) the battle system is pretty sweet, making your own character is awesome, also, training with your dragon ball favorite characters?

    Ill say that the *spoiler bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep* oh yea, no spoilers in my reviews...

    Una idea muy creativa crear tu avatar y vivir los eventos del anime desde esta perspectiva. No es perfecto pero si es muy entretenido.

    Die Steuerung und das Gameplay sind sehr anständig, aber als Dragonball-Fan ist der Fan-Service der Hauptanreiz dieses Spiels, und dieses Spiel hat eine Menge großartiger Fan-Service für einen Fan wie mich

    I'd say for “fans of the genre” but this game simply isn't good for anyone. [May 2015, p75]

    While it’s not really much of a looker, and non-fans won’t find much here besides a series of fights, there’s a ton in here for fans of the series to dig into and enjoy.

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