The underlying plot is original, but there are plenty of scenes and battles that you would’ve seen before. The opening mission of the game sees you ensuring that Goku and Piccolo manage to defeat the more powerful Raditz – a popular battle that fans of Dragon Ball Z will certainly appreciate, even if they’ve seen it plenty of times in other forms over the years. Whilst Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 does feature an original storyline set in the Dragon Ball universe, the time-fixing nature of the game means you’ll be playing through events that fans would’ve seen time and time again in the anime, manga, and previous video games. Whilst I didn’t get around to finishing the original game myself, the plotline might feel a little familiar to those who played it – I mean, it’s the same villains that you’re taking down and you’re also pretty much doing the exact same thing you were doing in the prequel. It’s a meatier game, but doesn’t bring any radical changes to the original formula – for better and worse…ĭragon Ball Xenoverse 2’s plot follows on from the original game, with the Time Patrollers working through time and fixing events that have been jeopardised by the villainous Towa and Mira. It proved popular with fans – who wouldn’t want to send their own character through a fresh take on the Dragon Ball timeline?įollowing on from the original’s success, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has finally been released, bringing an all new time-patrolling adventure that focuses on refining what made the first game so popular. Bandai Namco changed that formula with last year’s ‘Dragon Ball Xenoverse’ though, this time around offering an original story that saw you creating your own character and fixing a broken timeline in the Dragon Ball universe. We’ve seen plenty of new Dragon Ball games release over the years, though the majority of them have typically played out as fighters that either see you re-enact battles from the Dragon Ball saga or make dream fights between the huge roster of characters on offer.
