Dragon Ball FighterZ (PS4)

Since E3 back in June 2017 I have been so HYPED for this game.I am a huge DB fan, and a gamer, I've played pretty much every major DB game to come out since Budokai on the PS2 and I think this is the game we've been waiting for. There's a place for Xenoverse alongside this, but this game is a superior fighting game in every single way.Made by ArcSystem Works, revered among the FGC for games such as Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, they were tasked by Bandai with applying their craft to the DB license. Well, let me tell you, it's paid off BIG TIME.I've dabbled in fighters in the past, but this one is fantastic. It has a degree of accessibility for anyone who wants to get involved from the start, with 'auto combo' options to make you feel awesome and keep you in the fight, really simple execution of Super/Ultimate attacks (none of that Zangief 360 degree motions to get a basic super off!) and generally fast and smooth gameplay. It's strictly a 3v3 fighter, aside from some training areas or Story mode, so whilst it may seem basic on the surface, the depth is in creating your own combos and using the support and tag mechanics.Story mode itself is probably the weakest area of the game, but if you're new to the FG genre, it won't hurt to go through it and get accustomed to the controls and just basics like blocking and successfully pulling off Supers etc. before getting online and getting your butt kicked over and over and trying to learn how these other players do it!Online is a little ropey at times whilst the game is finding its feet, but there is already one planned season pass (FighterZ Pass) with 8 additional characters and this means ongoing support of the game in terms of playability and balance changes. For the most part, it works great, and finding a Casual or Ranked match is done within a minute whilst you run around the lobby as your Chibi avatars!All in all - this game has everything that a hardcore FG player would want and isn't too daunting for DB fans who are unsure. Starting 2018 off with a Big Bang - you need this game.

Bought as a present for my brother, he tells me it’s great.

Good

Amazing graphics but I'd rather a more free battle style system. Like previous games I'd love the freedom to move around rather than just left and right. Hope the next game keeps the graphic style but allows for more freedom of movement.

Absolutely brilliant fighting game. I know nothing about DBZ or its characters, however, I had to get this as I'm a fan of Arc System Works other fighting games Guilty Gear and Blazblue (both also amazing), what sets this app art from the others is the simple move sets (most characters play like Ryu from Street Fighter) and the absolutely stunning graphics, makes you feel like your watching a fight from the animated series AND actually controlling what happens in it. Just stunning and pure class. This could be the best fighting game of 2018, and its only January! If you like DBZ: then buy it!, if you like fighting games: buy it!, if you just enjoy stunning graphics and animation: BUY IT! You won't regret it.

I'm a dB fan. This game is okay. Not worth the price though. I paid £35 for it. Its not worth more than £25 I say. There's also dlc. I think dlc should be free. God of war is the only game I've purchased that I can say was worth the money.

Dragonball FighterZ is the best Dragonball based game of all time. Of. All. Time. Just let that Spirit Bomb drop for a minute.Gameplay works for both amateur button bashers AND more serous tacticians (particularly with the 3 vs 3 format) so nobody is excluded.The graphics are incredible, like you’re IN the anime / cartoon.There’s an original story too so you’re not trudging through the same Saiyan, Namek, Android and Buu sagas you’ve played on every other game in the franchise.

this game is fire its so worth the money and not hard to play at all i recommend playing the training before u go into real battles good luck :)
