Revisiting iconic moments in the history of DBZ and seeing how they could have played out differently is quite compelling.Īs for the improvements over the original, the hub world is now one giant area with small portals that lead to a few side areas.
These wild scenarios and more are played out during the course of the game’s story mode that lasts about 7 hours, and I was thoroughly entertained during the whole ordeal. The main villains Towa & Mira return once more, with some new helpers that fans should recognize from DBZ Movies like “The Tree of Might” or “Lord Slug”.Īs I stated in my review of the original, the premise of going through those iconic moments that I’ve seen interpreted time and time again to see brand new “what if” scenarios is strangely compelling and quite enjoyable.įor example, what if during the fight between Goku and Frieza in Namek, Freiza’s brother Cooler showed up? Or what if Vegeta didn’t kill Nappa and they both became great apes during the fight on earth against the Saiyans? Which is funny because having Future Trunks be in charge of not letting anyone make changes to history is akin to putting Cookie Monster in charge of safe housing a store of cookies. Once more, Future Trunks is the poster child of the Time Patrol and the player’s senior, who guides them through various time periods to correct any big inconsistencies that pop up. Even though the selections for customizations are improved across the board from the original, it felt a bit lacking still, especially having seen what CACs are like in MMOs like World of Warcraft and FFXIV.Īfter creating an avatar, the player is tasked with the duties of a member in the Time Patrol, who oversee the flow of time and make sure no one messes with history as it is written.
The visuals are gorgeous and look faithful to the original anime, down to the character expressions.Īs was the case in the original, the main crux of Xenoverse 2 revolves around a Create-A-Character that the player chooses from a number of species like Humans, Saiyans, Namekians, Buus and Frieza types along with their gender that bestow a unique strength.
