Critic Reviews
- However, Dragon Ball Xenoverse has some of the worst design decisions ever embedded into a videogame. There are no menus, the story mode's difficulty is all over the place, and the game's best aspect, creating characters, is locked behind hours and hours of frustrating play. It certainly has its moments and the core fighting mechanics are great, but the game falls flat in too many other areas to be standout title.
Patrick Hancock · Mar 14, 2015 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - It's rich in content, but the shallow battle system and unnecessarily bloated health bars of some foes make this feel more like a hesitant step in the right direction than a true home run for the franchise. Dragon Ball Xenoverse isn't a good fighting game, but it does have enough interesting supplementary features to make it a consideration.
Josiah Renaudin · Mar 09, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - I had very high hopes for Xenoverse with all the risks they were taking with the tried and undeniable, tired formula. 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.
Jae Lee · Mar 06, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Overall though, DragonBall XenoVerse is a great game for DragonBall fans. The new take on canon gives the story a new feel while the city, sidequests and Z warrior masters give you a lot to do when you aren’t running rampant through time. The fights are fun and frenetic if not suffering from a little bit of vertigo and some control repetition. The unlockables are wide and varied, ranging from dozens of outfits to hundreds of skills and all of the familiar characters you’ve come to love.
Doug Mercer · Mar 06, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Customizing my own character’s equipment and move pool is fantastic...but it’s hard to get excited when combat feels hollow, especially for a franchise all about heroes stronger than Superman. The unique story features a nice change of pace from the anime’s sagas, but unfair missions left me annoyed. Considering how boring the competitive multiplayer is, I found cooperative Parallel Quests to be the best way to take the action online.
Jake Magee · Mar 04, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Aside from the immediate sense of familiarity, it has a shedload of content to wade through, including a trove of iconic items and clothing that can be used to customise your own unique character. Online play is also quite the boon, allowing you to saddle up with friends in a Monster Hunter kind of way. Inevitably, however, there will be those who simply don’t see the appeal of XenoVerse’s core gameplay, and it ultimately grates as it becomes repetitive no matter how much you enjoy it at first.
Jim Hargreaves · Mar 04, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Still, the repeatedly offending camera remains a huge issue, and I feel like the omission of some very memorable moments in DBZ lore are noticeable. But as a recovery from Battle of Z, it shines. It won’t set the world on fire, but Dragon Ball Xenoverse is one of the best DBZ games in a long time.
Alex Carlson · Mar 03, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Seeing your own created character interact with legendary moments from the anime is satisfying, and it’s fun to witness characters like Nappa and Goku become allies. However, the shallow and repetitive gameplay lacks the same impact, and the long grind is a heavy burden. Those without such a strong attachment to the franchise may not be able to stomach the compromise.
Michael Huber · Mar 02, 2015 Reviewed on PS4 - ...For every one thing Dragon Ball Xenoverse gets right it gets ten wrong; even longtime fans (like yours truly) will have a hard time wanting to push through the layer after layer of sloppy, stupid choices and mistakes made here. Fans have been wishing for the perfect Dragon Ball Z game for a long time, and Dragon Ball Xenoverse makes it clear that they'll need to collect the dragon balls again and wish for something else, because this thing sucks harder than Yamcha.
Alex Langley · Mar 02, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - 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.
