A Dragon Ball fighting game that we’ve been waiting for since forever loosing hope along the way. It was designed with obvious deep understanding of the source material, visually it’s almost undistinguishable from the anime and it embodies the 'easy to learn, hard to master' rule, which makes it both interesting for BlazBlue veterans and accessible to newbies lured by the Dragon Ball license.

The single player modes aren’t particularly engaging, and the broken online makes engaging in the multiplayer take way longer than it needs to. Those lucky enough to have a thriving local fighting scene are the real winners here until the servers are sorted out. FighterZ isn’t entirely my thing, but it’s easy to see that it’s as well-made, polished, and fanservicey as humanly possible.

Never before has a game felt and played like Dragon Ball to this extent. Both hardcore fighting-game fans and casual players are in for a treat.

Jogo maravilhoso e um dos melhores jogos já lançados de Dragon Ball, Eu gostei das lutas que são muito fluídas e parecem o próprio anime.

Great Dragon Ball game AND fighting game, one that rewards the player as he becomes more skilled but still is very fun for casuals that doesnt really know what they are doing on the battlefield. The graphics are pretty good and the soundtrack is amazing, worth of following it up the tradition of great OSTs from Dragon Ball games. Lastly, the story mode brings up a complete new story, that has a lot of fan service elements, but still doenst fell overly exaggerated or annoying, on the contrary, its quite fun to go trough. But of course, this game shines on multiplayer and thats where it gains a lot of points regarding longevity and replayability, no surprise people still are playing after almost 7 years, and counting!

It's a dream game for Dragon Ball die-hards, a great new way to test your skills for fighting game nuts and an all-around great experience for everyone else in between. The story and arcade modes present plenty of challenge and things to keep you occupied, and the roster is large enough to make no two battles feel the same. And, refreshingly, the online modes appeal to not just those who have immersed themselves in online battles for years, but newcomers and even just the mildly interested as well. At present time, the PS4 version looks to be the one to get due to a few issues with the Xbox One's online capabilities, but both versions perform even better than you might have hoped. For a game with nearly a full year of hype behind it, Dragon Ball FighterZ delivers in ways that will exceed even the most lofty of expectations. This is a fighting game for the ages.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is what we want in a modern fighting game. The controls are easy to learn, but the game is deeper than you might think.

I really like fighting games in general and this game is no different. The characters and stages are great and the mechanics and graphics are astonishing.

This is by far the best Dragon Ball fighting game. The gameplay is fluid, explosive and fast, just as it should be. The game looks great and offers something for everyone. It is easy to step in for newcomers but hard to master. Simply a must own.

An exquisite feeling fighter that is both approachable and deep. Time will tell if it has staying power, but it's the best use of the Dragon Ball Z name in quite some time.

An outstanding fighting game that does almost everything perfect. It's beautiful to see, easy to play, but difficult to master and has a lot of game modes... But there are little mistakes made here, like its low difficulty and some characters that are too similar. Despite that, one of the best games in its genre in a while.

An accessible yet thoroughly entertaining competitive fighter, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a game for low-levels and super-elites alike.

A brilliant fighting game for newcomers, and a wonderful one for genre fans, that somehow still manages to feel like a disappointment for so comprehensively failing to bring its two demographics together. [Apr 2018, p.112]

MUY pay to win, me parece RIDICULO que te hagan pagar por la version NORMAL de las dos caras principales de dragon ball... Historia nomarlita, pero un trabajazo en los combates.

No es un buen juego, los combos son muy absurdos y se ven raras las animaciones, se que se trata de un juego competitivo pero es algo inútil, dragon ball se trata de pelea y todo esto es tonto
