Having never played Xenoverse 1, I was a bit worried the learning curve would be too big to overcome, or I would just be downright lost(you can even import your existing character from Xeno1), but I'm so pleasantly surprised that's not the case! Xenoverse 2 delves into DBZ territory and transitions all the way through Super. I was also worried, as an offline player, the gameplay would be limited, but again, I was wrong! As far as I can tell, I'm still getting to navigate through the main story line and there is no shortage of things to do. The game takes place in Conton City, where you get to be your own new character as a time patroller! Following orders and instruction from the Supreme Kai of Time and Elder Kai, you get to right the wrongs of the discrepancies of some of the greatest events and battles throughout Dragon Ball history. You get to fight along side some of the best, and can even chose your instructor(don't expect Vegeta to take too kindly to you at first!). The whole premise of the game is just really cool and there's always somewhere to go, or someone to see... Whether it's battles, side missions, training, collecting supplies, or even just helping out your fellow Z fighters. Now, here's where the 4 stars come into play... The game play in battle can get a bit repetitive. Sure you can train to learn these awesome 20 button combos, when you're fighting Frieza AND Cooler at the same time those long, multi-button combinations kind of go out the window and you just stick to your few tried and true. The navigation of the actual game can be a bit confusing at times and you truly just have to 'figure it out' because there's little to no instruction when it comes to that. But honestly, if you're a fan, you have come to love and accept that the Dragon Ball universe has it's own logic and is just plain confusing at times. The background music in your main map, Conton City, is Dreadful to the ear!! Lol. Go to settings and change it... Immediately!! So, even though the gameplay at times can get a little repetitive and stagnet which may leave you turning it off that particular day, after you've slept on it, you find yourself wanting to come back for more the next day! That's a good thing! Solid game with awesome graphics. Voices of the characters are spot on as well!
