Dragon Ball FighterZ Reviews
One of the year's excellent fighting game releases.
Let me say very clearly that I’ve never been a Dragon Ball Z fan, so I won’t be able to comment on any of the nuance for the characters themselves...
There have been many Dragon Ball fighting games in the past, but Developer System Arc Works has done well in producing a high-quality fighting game that will satisfy not only veteran fighting game enthusiasts but Dragon Ball fans as well.
My time playing Dragon Ball FighterZ is some of the best time I’ve spent playing a fighting game in years. While the story mode progression is repetitive and a bit too easy at times, the original story and the various gameplay modes on offer will have me coming back and enjoying this game for quite some time.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is not only for the fans, but also for enthusiasts of the fighting genre. It stays true to the source material down to the smallest of details, while offering an experience for both casual and experienced players. One of the best in this recent renaissance of the fighting genre as other long-running series seem to be falling short.
Dragon Ball FighterZ succeeds first and foremost in the gameplay, delivering an easy enough control scheme to allow the most inept of players to get a power trip whilst using these insane warriors and pulling off awesome manoeuvres. The variety of game modes gives plenty of choice for all types of gamers to try their hand at and the fast paced fun will keep them coming back for more.
In the end, Dragon Ball FighterZ has been a Blast or a Ki-Blast! It’s the Dragon Ball game we have all been waiting for as it truly grabs the essence of the anime.
Taking a mix of their own Guilty Gear or BlazBlue series and combining it with a little of Marvel vs. Capcom and surrounding it with a Dragon Ball coat of paint was just the recipe for Arc System Works with Dragon Ball FighterZ that makes it the game fans of the franchise have truly been waiting for all these years.
Dragon Ball FighterZ offers exactly what the players were waiting for. Beautiful graphics, great animations, flashy combos and a nice story that will fully satisfy all fans of good fighting games.

With "Dragon Ball FighterZ" Bandai Namco & Arc System Works deliver a fabulous Beat'em Up, which is in no way inferior to its predecessors and will surely rank high in its genre. In addition to a well-balanced mixture of fighting and narrative sequences, the sophisticated game mechanics and the corresponding visuals score particularly well. Thanks to accessible controls, newcomers also have the opportunity to fully enjoy the whole variety of combos and special attacks. Embedded in a nice basic story, "Dragon Ball FighterZ" proves to be an entertaining beating game, which gives soloists as well as gamblers many hours of fun.

FighterZ has a lot of shining moments, and while there are some minor issues, the gameplay and overall presentation easily make up for it.
If you are a fan of Dragon Ball, get this game, simple as that
Every aspect of the game is incredible and whether you are playing solo or with a friend, there are hours of enjoyment to be had and it's well worth the time and money spent on such a solid fighting game.
It’s fantastic to see that Dragon Ball FighterZ transitions as well as it does to the most versatile games console on the planet. The game looks and plays great on the portable home console and stands as one of the best and most faithful anime licensed titles on the market.
Dragon Ball FighterZ truly is one of the best fighting games made in a long time hands down, so I'd suggest anyone who's into the genre get it sooner rather than later.
In a nutshell, Dragon Ball FighterZ is the Dragon Ball game that fans have been waiting for. It doesn't have the pure character creation features of a Xenoverse title, but it makes up for it by being what is probably the first truly competitive Dragon Ball Z fighting game. The amazing graphics and impressive audio help sell the feeling of playing an episode of the anime, and it's one of the best-looking games on the market. The single-player content is good for a fighting game, but unlike Xenoverse, this is a game for those who are looking for competitive play first and foremost. It does that exceedingly well, and any fan of fighting games or Dragon Ball Z should find something to like here.
Arc System Works are true masters of the fighting genre, and Dragon Ball have a lot of characters with unique styles and abilities. Fuse these two together, and you'll get Dragon Ball FighterZ – the best Dragon Ball game to date. It has superb visuals, deep combat system and, hell, it's just a pure joy to be a part of the FighterZ's crazy and speedy fights.

Dragon Ball FighterZ balances very well style and concept. It's an easy game for newcomers, but has room for experts in the genre to develop advanced skills. This may be the very best Dragon Ball fighting game to date because it captures, aesthetically and mechanically, the core and most enjoyable aspects of the series that fans have enjoyed for decades.

A visually stunning game that channels the series it's based on perfectly, with a system that's easy to grasp and challenging to master, and a decent amount of content with only a handful of minor flaws to it.
