Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 - Xbox One [Digital]

The short version. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a fantastic game, especially if you happen to be a fan of Dragon Ball. Xenoverse 2 fixes a lot of issues that the first game had but it created some new problems along the way and sadly ripped a lot of its content from the first game. All that said, here is what it comes down to. If you played the first game, wait for a price drop. If you didn't play the first game. This one is THE Dragon Ball experience bar none. The long version Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is fun, it is. But most of the story and the side quests are lifted right from the original. And if you happen to transfer your character from the first game you see them maybe 5 times over the course of the game and then never again. You can't even pick them as a playable character in side quests or Expert Missions which I found to be a little disappointing. All that said, there are some redeeming values here. The hub is huge and once your character gets their flying license its really immersive to fly around Conton City looking for side quests and training with your favorite Dragon Ball heroes. Getting new attacks, and clothing options is much easier, and the game is much more balanced. (Though not perfect) The biggest new feature is the new Expert Missions which can be played with 6 people. These are fun if you can get 6 people together and they do provide a nice challenge. However this creates the biggest problem, when doing Expert missions or any mission for that matter. At the time of this writing, only the party leader gets credit for completing them. You can still get new attacks, items, clothing, EXP and Money but the game does not recognize YOU completed it. In other words if you and your 5 friends want to complete all the expert missions will need to play each expert mission 6 times for you all to get individual credit for completing it. Overall the game has a lot of content, and as I said if you didn't play the original you will get the most out of it. If you did, I would suggest waiting for a sale or price drop.

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 game is amazing. First of all anyone who has followed DBZ since the beginning whether it be the original runs or the re-runs in the 90s will LOVE this game. Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2 are DBZ games that are the most unique of their kind because for once this is not just a DBZ game where you fight...This game enables you to create your own character from different classes (Majin, Frieza Race, Human or Sayain) and it allows you to use different moves from all the different characters throughout the Dragon Ball story. This is the first REAL Roleplaying game for the DBZ game series and Xenoverse 2 is the absolute best. Great gameplay through story mode and plenty of content and other battles through training and parallel quests (which is story mode style but not quite story mode) AND the online play is amazing. I definitely recommend this!

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).

This might be a top 5 db game but still not on par with budokai tenkaichi 3 and raging blast 2 in terms of characters in gameplay, this is also to similar to 1st and doesnt feel like a full blown sequel probably due to fact it only had a year development time, id still recommend espicially if you are a dragon ball fan like me as gameplay has minor improvements that make a big difference but in xenoverse 3 i will like for them to add more characters not just variations, fix some animations and add all forms of every character like theres still not 2nd form cell or 2nd and 3rd form frieza.
