Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - Xbox One [Digital]

I have only had the game a few weeks, but it is definitely an improvement over the first. Being able to create multiple characters at the get-go is a plus. In the previous game you needed to beat the game first to create new characters. The game play isn't much different than the first. Basic combos are easier than before. More advanced combos do have a learning curve and can be frustrating. But there is a sense of achievement when you get it right. All the game modes work much as they did before, though is there no more multi-lobby? I have only played the game a handful of times, so maybe I just need to work out how to see others online. I am only a quarter of the way through the game right now, but so far it has been enjoyable and easier than the first Xenoverse. I will update after getting more time in, but this game is just as fun, if not more so than the first. Fans of the series will like this game. I mainly bought it for the opportunity to get to Super Saiyan God level. I also am a fan of the series and think Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2 are some of the best additions to the Dragon Ball gaming line up. I am giving this game 4 stars for not allowing you to fly around Conton City from the get-go. First week in, I would have given it 5, but after two weeks it has become really frustrating trying to get from one place to another quickly. I know there are transfer bots around, but it still sucks to have to go to one. Other than that, I am satisfied with the game and look forward to progressing to Super Say God Super Saiyan.

Like the title says, I thought this was a great game, but it does rehash some of the stuff from the first game. Some of the main story missions and parallel quests are almost directly ripped from the fist game. The reason for this rehashing is because Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2 focus almost exclusively on Dragon Ball Z, this could be alleviated somewhat if they added Dragon Ball GT and Super into the base game instead of making them part of DLC. Despite this rehashing of the first game I still like Xenoverse 2 quite a bit. There are some changes that have been made since the fist game that I like quite a lot, for instance, I like the changes they made to mentors. Instead of picking one mentor to grind out their reputation to learn their moves you can learn all their moves right away as long as you meet the appropriate level requirements. You can still pick one mentor to be your instructor if you want and grind reputation with them which will lead them to giving you items and sometimes helping you in battle.

This has been one of the best DBZ games since Bodokai on the PS2. The fighting is simple enough to grasp yet can be fairly complex when playing competitively when you begin to consider the timing and actions of the skills you choose. I easily put 30 hours into this game and when I beat the main story line there was still hours upon hours of skills to unlock and side quests to do.

Admittedly, I’m a new fan to DBZ, so I don’t know the long and storied history of the franchise. I bought Dragonball FighterZ a couple months ago and got hooked. I bought a bunch of the Blu-Ray movies and Funko Pops because I think the animation is just really cool. This game is solid, and it does a good job of embodying the look and feel of the television show, so that in and of itself should be enough for any DBZ fan to buy this game. It’s $20 at the time of this review, so you’re not going to find a better value in my opinion. Very pleased!

DBZ Xenoverse 2 is a great looking game as it is enjoyable. It features A LOT of character's, almost every character except Dragonball Kid Goky which kinda knacks my nerves. The story and the about of options you have when it comes to creating your character and leveling up your character is really nice. Also being about to transfer information from Xenoverse 1 if you played it prior to this one is nice. The only downside to this game is the story is really similar to the last one and that every character from DBZ is included (including side characters) except kid goku (Dragonball series).

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a fighting role-playing video game developed by Dimps and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment based on the Dragon Ball franchise. It is the sequel to Dragon Ball Xenoverse that was released on February 5, 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and on October 28 for Microsoft Windows. In Japan, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has been released only on PlayStation 4. It is the second Dragon Ball video game released on eighth generation video game consoles. 68 characters are playable, including Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super as a pre-order bonus.

I have played the first xenoverse as well. This one is pretty similar and a lot of it is the same. It does add some extra combos and stuff to the fighting concept of the game, adds some new skills, some new quests, characters and so forth. I am a pretty big DBZ fan so I still enjoy it but I do wish they added more variety to separate it more from the first one. I would still recommend as I am a DBZ fan!

This is a very good Dragon Ball game released on the Xbox One and PS4. In many respects it feels like the original Xenoverse 2.0 and that is not a bad thing as that game was very good. That being said other than the online server overall this game doesn't bring a whole lot new the Dragon Ball universe.
