Dragon Ball: Xenoverse Critic Reviews

Overall, Dragon Ball Xenoverse is probably one of the best, if not the best, Dragon Ball related games out there – and there are a lot. You can replay missions to enhance your character. There are various trainers to go on missions for. It also has time travelling - and that’s always a good thing.

As a moderate fan of the anime, I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed XenoVerse, and I suspect you will be too, provided you have any affinity for the source material.

Sadly, if you've been holding out for a more traditional Dragon Ball fighter, Dragon Ball XenoVerse isn't it. It is, however, a well realised and refreshing take on Akira Toriyama's universe, which allows fans to appreciate the source material from a whole new angle.

It's an OK fighting game, but fans will love the amount of references and new ways to enjoy Dragon Ball that it offers. The camera and some tech issues are there, but it has some spectacular battles too.

You’ll get about 12-15 good hours out of Dragon Ball XenoVerse’s single-player and co-op missions, but you probably won’t touch it much after that.

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is a parallel universe of innovation, new-gen graphics and customization that renews tradition without loosing its original flavour.

It's not trying to be another Budokai Tenkaichi, and we admit that its combat system could be smoother, but it's the first Dragonball game that tries something new in a long time, and it works. Balancing woes aside, Xenoverse is fun, addictive, and makes you feel like you're a part of Toriyama's world. A must have for a fan.

Dragon Ball Z Xenoverse is no next-gen title but is still fun to play on the PlayStation 4, especially if you're a fan of DBZ!

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse is a great attempt at refreshing the usual formula with a hybrid gameplay which does not always work as intended.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is far from being the Definitive Dragon Ball game, but right now it's the title that we need to recover some faith on the future of the franchise. It has some flaws but, sure, but the combat system is solid, the graphics look gorgeous even on PS4/Xbox One and the game has a lot of content to unlock. Finally, a Dragon Ball game that we can recommend to the fans.

A wish granted. Xenoverse has repetitive missions and a battle system which can be improved, but it's one of the best Dragon Ball videogames of the last several years.

A fresh start for Dragon Ball that mixes elements from Budokai Tenkaichi series and Dragon Ball Online. This creates a sort of Online RPG that manages to retell the same old story in a brand new way. Still, it's not perfect, but it's fun anyway.

Dragon Ball Z is off to a solid start this generation, with XenoVerse. There’s still plenty of room for improvement, but fans are going to find plenty to love with the latest chapter in this long-running saga that tells the same story but with a different spin.

Xenoverse stands as one of my favorite Dragon Ball Z video games. I like taking my own custom character into familiar battles from the show, and I enjoy acquiring new equipment as I progress. My character may have looked nothing like me, but I really felt like I was actively participating in the flashy action alongside the familiar cast.

Dragon Ball XenoVerse is, without a doubt, the best Dragon Ball-game in ages. The balanced fighting system and the typical chaotic over-the-top fights fit perfectly together. Making your own Dragon Ball-character to play the alternative story is fun. Unfortunately the game is stymied by unstable servers, camera issues and the compulsory grinding.

The battles you fight in are incredibly fast paced and frenetic, exactly what you would expect and hope for from a Dragon Ball game.

Even though their gamble with the online connectivity and a few fundamental mechanics fell flat on its face, as a long time fan to the series, I found the experience pretty enjoyable all the same.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a pretty addictive and satisfying entry in the series, despite some noticeable shortcomings.

A great experience for the fans, who will forgive the developers for their poor menu presentations and useless open world ambitions. The gameplay does what it needs to do, which is excel.

Dimps brings back to life a saga that has been stumbling for the last several years. Dragon Ball Xenoverse offers an original, entertaining plot and MMO gameplay mechanics. An interesting game that only has some room for improvement in the battle system and with respect to certain audio issues.
