   This is the best DBZ game yet. Sure there are some flaws here and there, but nothing more than minor annoyances. If they play their cardsThis is the best DBZ game yet. Sure there are some flaws here and there, but nothing more than minor annoyances. If they play their cards right they could have a killer sequel by fixing a few mechanics (servers mostly) and streamlining little things like being able to fly in the city.
   
   Love the combo system and being able to build your own character complete with custom move set.… Expand

   Being a Dragon Ball fan, I always wanted that special Dragon Ball game that made me feel like I am a part of its beautiful universe.Being a Dragon Ball fan, I always wanted that special Dragon Ball game that made me feel like I am a part of its beautiful universe. Thankfully Dragon Ball XenoVerse succeeds in doing so.
   
   The game starts off with creating your character and you can choose between 5 different races, the Majin, Saiyans, Earthlings, Namekian and the Freeza clan, each with their own strengths and weakness. I chose the Saiyans who are low in health but have high attack powers. Working carefully on your created characters appearance is important because it does affect your performance in battle. For example, if you increase the height, then your attack power will increase but your speed movement will be slower. I found this attention to detail in Dragon Ball Xenoverse interesting as it makes you want to create other characters as well.
   
   Once done, you will have to choose the fighting style that you find most suitable.
   
   The story will begin after you complete your character. You are chosen by Shenron to join the time patrol, a group of warriors led by Trunks to defend history. Trunks will introduce you to TokiToki city which is where you will spend most of your time in. Your mission is to find out who has been distorting the history of the Dragon Ball universe and changing its events. So you will go back in time through different parts of the Dragon Ball events and return history to its original course.
   
   I found the overall story to be pretty cool as it is a change from previous Dragon Ball games which is good to see. Watching Raditz dodge Piccolos deadly beam instead of the original scene where Goku sacrifices himself was fun to watch.
   
   Mastering Dragon Ball Xenoverse’s fighting mechanics will take some time but the tutorials does a good job in giving you all the necessary information you will need during battle. The more fights I participated in the better I got. The fighting mechanics are very good and executing special combos and powers is fun. The controls are straight forward with the normal attacks, heavy attacks, flying and locking on to your opponent.
   
   The battles themselves are deep and you will need to use different strategies depending on which character you choose.
   
   The most important things to keep an eye out for are the two bars on the left of the screen; the top bar is your Ki bar which is used for Ultimate attacks and the bottom bar is the bar that governs how many teleports you can do and shows you how long you can block an ultimate attack.
   
   Exploring TokiToki is fun; however, the city is small and I felt that more details could have been added to make the city livelier. Knowing what accessories, clothing or items to buy is key. For example if you leave your character shirtless, you will take more damage and if you buy the correct clothing you will incur less damage.
   
   I Enjoyed the RPG elements and the progression system. You can talk to all the characters in TokiToki and even have the chance to recruit some to join your team. There will also be many decisions to take such as Raditz asking you to join him to attack Goku and choosing your mentor who will teach you valuable skills.
   
   The progression system is done well and makes time invested into your character worth it. The more fights you participate it whether it is during the story line or side quests, offline or online the more experience points you gain to level up and spend on the characters attributes like health, defense and attacks. Parallel quests are like side quests that you can take part into level up. Playing if offline or online is a blast especially the 3 VS 3. Having a buddy with you and playing online is very fun.
   
   Using the scouter during parallel quests will help you in finding hidden items and also to see the strength of your opponent.
   
   The graphics are very good; characters are just like the Anime and small details such as the blast feels brighter than before. Exploring the world and flying around never felt better; however, I expected more environmental destruction during fights.
   
   The story took me around 13 hours to complete and there is tons of replay value in the online multiplayer and upgrading your character. Dragon Ball XenoVerse is a smart challenging game and in my opinion one of the best Dragon Ball games to date. It has the perfect combination of RPG and fighting. With over the top characters and exciting battles, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a game that will entertain you… Expand

   Decent game. For most players, being able to customize your own character is great but if you are like me, I could care less about that. ToDecent game. For most players, being able to customize your own character is great but if you are like me, I could care less about that. To me, the whole point of a DBZ game is to play with your favorite/s DBZ fighters. Future Trunks can be annoying at times which sucks because in the anime, Future Trunks is great. Nice concept though and worth a playthrough.… Expand

The game began and i quickly realized that this was not the same budokai style game from the past. It tries to reinvent the wheel, and i think it fails miserably. Ive never played a more frustrating game in my life. If i wasnt a dbz fan, i dont think i could even play this game. Ive tried to keep going, but the inexplicable difficulty mixed with the horrid camera angles and poor fighting system make playing this game absolutely infuriating. I wouldnt recommend this game to my worst enemy. Its a disgrace to the dragonball name, to fighting games, and to fans everywhere.… Expand
