Dragon Ball FighterZ
Top 10 Best Xbox One Games of Q1 2018
For years, we have been clamoring for the perfect Dragon Ball Z game: one that captures the anime’s lightning fast combat, blinding flashes of energy beams, and preponderance of muscular blonde gentlemen shouting at one another. The Xenoverse titles certainly do an excellent job of that, but FighterZ, at long last, nails it to a tee. Battles are frantic, noisy and busy, and if you aren’t paying attention, you’ll quickly be made into the resident Yamcha.
Once you get the hang of swapping between your team members and juggling your rivals in enormous midair combos, you’ll soon become hooked. Perhaps that’s about the only thing that isn’t accurate to the source material, where fights mostly consist of Goku doing all the work and everyone else standing around having a discussion.
Ultimately, there’s something here for everyone, whether or not they are well versed in the fighting genre. Some characters have a higher degree of difficulty to properly use than others, and their hidden potential will prove enticing to those after more of a challenge. As for the dabblers, they can merrily launch Kamehamehas left, right and center without having to deal with too much complexity. Unlike some other entries in the franchise’s history, each fighter feels unique from one another, and their movesets and styles remain faithful to Toriyama’s vision.
