    Meh... Honestly not the best game I played. Bare bones fighter with little thought put into it.

    Ok, so I never wrote a review for any game, but I felt I had to for this one. I love DBZ...but this game has some serious flaws. First is the overworld lobby. It takes forever to get into and you have to even to play the story mode or fight locally. If you can't get in enough times they offer the option to play in the offline lobby, but that means a good 3-5 min wait before you can fightOk, so I never wrote a review for any game, but I felt I had to for this one.

If you can't get in enough times they offer the option to play in the offline lobby, but that means a good 3-5 min wait before you can fight the dude sitting right next to you! This brings me to another issue. The game constantly crashes back to the Xbox dashboard! It's random but frequent. lose a match? Crash. Win a match? Crash. walk around the lobby for 2 1/2 min? Crash. If the game were stable it would easily be a 9 out of 10. They gameplay is beautiful. The characters feel powerful and the animation is breathtaking. But good luck playing it. Full disclosure. I played this on the Xbox one x and this is after retail release not beta.… Expand

    Boring. It's pretty much boring. Not sure why they chose boring to be the distinguishing feature. This game has immense potential but it's just a button-smashing wannabe.

    Tried this out because it's on Game Pass now and I used to be a big DB fan as a teenager. I chose offline mode, IMMEDIATELY got greeted by a Gacha mechanic, then had trouble finding the training mode (why not just have a straight-forward menu a la Smash instead of this dumb 3D lobby sh**?), only to then see that half the roster, including such basic characters as regular Goku and Vegeta,Tried this out because it's on Game Pass now and I used to be a big DB fan as a teenager.

Now I know why this game is always on sale, they make their money through other means.

    That's a hard NO from me dawg.    … Expand

    DONT BUY UNLESS YOU LOVE DBZ. This game has A.I that is known to cheat. The devs made them do more damage and predict moves so you would buy their **** dlc. No. AND THE WAIT TIMES. Expect to wait over a minute for an offline battle. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone but a fan. Good luck doing a quarter circle combo on ur Xbox controller. More often than half of the time it just doesn’t doDONT BUY UNLESS YOU LOVE DBZ. This game has A.I that is known to cheat.

    A stupidly fun fighter: fast, aggressive and oozing with love. [March 2018, p.74]

    Dedicated fans and newcomers alike, Dragon Ball FighterZ is able to win people over with its charming and authentic art style. The faithful representation of the anime, coupled with the chaotic satisfaction of stringing together long combos with ease, should entice any fighting game fan. Dragon Ball FighterZ is probably one of the most accessible 2D fighters in a long time and should not be missed.

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is simply a marvel. For Dragon Ball fans it is a no-brainer, for fighting game fans it is a must-have, even for those like me who know next to nothing about the series. It is extremely easy to get into, a blast to play, and it looks outstanding. This is a sleeper of 2018 for me, and I cannot recommend it enough.
