    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

    It's a good game, but it doesn't come close to the Budokai Tenkaichi series.

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

    When this game came out it was a revolution for the future of dragon ball games. It gave us the option to create our own Character and go in the story of Dragon ball.
    The story is interesting and quite unique since we have 4 new characters introduce with an entire new concept.

    Way too much of the game is DLC ( Developer Locked Content ) then in the 2nd update they jump the difficulty up by at least 5 ! Now it's to hard for my kids even I can't play it and they have no difficulty setting to turn it down . Can't be-leave this ! What a waste of money !

    Pretty good DB game! Very open space when in combat and the fact you can fly wherever you want while fighting is a plus for me! Story kept me intrigued but unfortunately once you finish that it becomes a repetitive optional/side missions to get your level and skills up. Though this is a pretty good DB game and I would recommend this to any DB fans out there!

The story is okay but not really worth the purchase. The RPG aspect of the game is also poorly utilized with it being more nuance more than anything, which is disappointing considering the potential an RPG Dragon Ball game could have, but it mostly feels tacked on. The character creation I thought was pretty neat, I also like the inclusion of items such as the bansho fan and other items as accessories... Overall I wouldn't spend more than $10 and even that is pushing it, considering their is DLC you would also have to purchase for GT character and a few more recent characters.… Expand

    Well here goes...i wanna love this game because its dbz but i cant because of several reason here's a few...

    If you just start on story you will have to fight OP enemies
    The combos are pretty flaky
    Forget about good AI partners
    And finally there is no such thing as in 'teamwork'
    I would recommend waiting for the price drop and only get this if your a dbz lover like me

    Pure garbage! This game has a mash button style that's a tedious system of fighting opponents. CPU is arrogant and stupid as always, matches are a pain to get though. I was disappointed with this game and will be the last DBZ game I'll ever play.

    Great fun game, can get a little bit tedious after some playing, as your upgrades don't feel like they do much. However you are able to customize your own character, and you can have a blast playing. At least 100 hours of gameplay or more for a completionist

    I am a semi-Dragon Ball fan.
    In general Xenoverse is cheaply made, but fun enough. A 7.5 in my books.
    The campaign is linear, there is a fair bit of farming that needs to be done. The quests are all … well.. redundant. Beat group of enemies/bosses within 15minutes in one of 7 or so commonly recurring environments. It doesn’t require a lot of skill to win… if stuck farm the highest xp    I am a semi-Dragon Ball fan.

    The characters you interact with are just cardboard cutouts of the already shallow (but fun!) DBZ cast.
    Cheaply made but just fun.

    Fantastic game! I can't tell you how long I've waited for a good DB game to come out. Not since the days of PS2 have I enjoyed a DBZ game this much. The graphics are spot on and decent for a next gen console. The fighting is fun and the combo system is awesome. I simply love the character create aswell. If you're sitting on the fence about this game I encourage you to pick it up.
