    The Dragon Ball series has a huge following and that’s mainly because their game’s manage to improve each year, and Dragon Ball FighterZ is no exception. I have to admit that I’m quite a fan of the series and I’ve played many Dragon Ball game’s and in my opinion Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of the best if not the best game in the series so far.

I have to admit that I’m quite a fan of the series and I’ve played many Dragon Ball game’s and in my opinion Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of the best if not the best game in the series so far. The story which is very important in a game like this is absolutely fantastic and for me it’s the best the series has had to offer so far. Nothing much was needed to change regarding the combat and thankfully once again the combat is a real treat. The moves when pulled off look and feel fantastic and everything feels fluid and responsive throughout. Whilst the roster isn’t massive they’ve done a great job of the characters that are on offer and each different character feels unique in its own way, which is great. In terms of content the game has a huge amount to offer you and without a doubt you will be playing this game for month’s to come. The thing that impressed me about the content that’s present in the game is the amount of variety each mode has. Each mode plays very differently and it’s a pleasure to try each mode out. I was especially impressed with the online side of the game and not once did I suffer with any problems, and the best thing is that each skill level has been catered for. The story mode is also very good, but I did have some problems when the difficulty spiked out of nowhere in certain areas. The presentation side of the game is absolutely awesome. Visually the games looks gorgeous and it really makes you become more immersed with the gameplay. The sound design has also been done to perfection and it really makes every battle feel important, which is great. At the end of the day fans of the Dragon Ball series will absolutely fall in love with Dragon Ball FighterZ. This game has taken everything that’s good in the series and amazingly its managed to make it even better, which is no small feat. If you’ve never played a Dragon Ball game before then this is the perfect place to start because it caters to newcomers as well as veterans of the series. To say I enjoyed this game would be a massive understatement and I can see it providing me with many more enjoyable hours and without a doubt it gets a huge thumbs up from me.… Expand

    Animation is great and the game is really simple to pick up and play, even for newcomers to the Dragon Ball franchise.

    Este game me surpreendeu, isso pq nao sou fâ do universo Dragon Ball, mas este game tem mecanicas fluidas de combos e golpes (parecidos com UMC 3) e isso é muito bom e divertido de se jogar.

    Ok I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. This game is simply the best Fighting Game that I have ever played. It is the first fighting game that I spent 14 hours of one day, yes 14 hours in one day, playing it. It has consumed my life since I first bought and I know I am late to get this review done, but I had to.

This is one the best games of the year, not including God of War and Spider man as I have not played them but I bet they are simply amazing, and I think that you should buy this game if you are a competitive Fighting Game fan. I'd recommend Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for more casual players though, as this game's story mode isn't the best, and casual fans may not enjoy it.… Expand

    Looks amazing on xbox one x and plays consistently at 60 fps. If you are a fan of the series this is a must buy. It is the best fighting game I have ever played.

    Quite possibly the best 2D fighter ever made. This is why we play games in the first place. There have been decent DB games before this, but nothing close to FighterZ. The animation, combined with artistic graphics really set it apart from other games and it also beautifully complements the gameplay. It's so brisk, and is one of the greatest technical achievements in the genre and can't be avoided

    The Best Dragon Ball Game I Have ever Played. Has a Small Character Roster compared to Ninja Storm and Xenoverse. But, All The Characters Remain Well and Truly Balanced. Arc System Works really went all-out in this game.

    o jogo é excelente, porem a sistematização de dlcs é altamente prejudicial ao jogo com 3 temporadas até o momento e não sai promoção para quem quer comprar os passes, o jogo é mais barato do que os passes de temporada

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is an amazing fighting game. that certainly manages to attract even those who are not fans of the genre, either for its theme or its differentiated gameplay and faster than other games similar to this. the graphics are spectacular, the mixture of 3D with the traits of creator Akira Toriyama are wonderful, the specials of each character are very worth using.

    not only because they are very strong, but because of the beauty, the details, the enormous quality placed in this game. Each character has his set of blows very different from each other, with an immense creativity. whether it's a character with attacks closer to the opponent, such as Gogeta (SSJ4), or more distance attacks like Vegetto. the soundtrack is great, and the remasteringof the original anime songs are beautiful, and they easily creep.

    the few flaws I can cite are the campaign mode, so there is not much to criticize.
    recommended for many, especially if you are a fan of dragon ball.    … Expand

    Probably one of the best fighting games I've played so far. Though it is sad that most characters are locked between paywalls, the games an absolute blast even without them. Though I'd definitely recommend looking up gameplay before you buy the game, as this game is wildly different compared to the Budokai Tankaichi and Xenoverse series games.

    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.
