Best part is if you like offline or online everything above is there in both.
By comparing this to BT3 people are doing it a great disservice, there are dozens of Dragon Ball video game series and there have been several series (and a whole generation of consoles) in between the release of BT3 and XV2 so picking BT3 as the yardstick of which to compare XV2 is silly to begin with.I've only just scratched the surface with this review, the game is massive and there are tens of hours of things to do within it. There are also special missions for each race that only that race can accept.No one should go into this expecting Budokai Tenkaichi 3 because it's not Budokai Tenkaichi in the first place- otherwise it would be called Tenkaichi not Xenoverse (there wasn't even custom characters in BT3). The Freiza race can go golden, Namekians can become giants, humans can awaken to their true potentials, and Majins can go Kid form. New to the series is the other races transformations. Saiyans can go Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, and Super Saiyan 3 (which are all now compiled under one skill) and if you want your hair to go spiky then just you wait til you go SSJ3. Learning new skills from them is dictated by your ranking and you rank up by completing advancement tests at the training school (where you can also learn basics and extra tips), when you rank up you can learn new skills from any master that has new skills to teach.There are new transformations. In addition you can learn from all masters without having to become their student but you can still pick one as your instructor for extra goodies. They are far more forgiving and with the collection of brand new PQs that you can tackle there are even more goodies to collect and they're easier to collect without being too difficult or too much of a time sink.The masters you can train under are all on the brand new giant sized map at the same time so you never have to worry about missing them. No longer will you need to put in hours on the same mission, playing it time and time again for the one thing you want. It features characters like Turles, Lord Slug, Cooler, Metal Cooler, and more.There is also a new and much more improved soundtrack that sounds much closer to what you would expect from Dragon Ball, really capturing the mood of every battle and setting.The drop rates from missions have been vastly improved. Stamina is much more important now and you have to use it wisely, Saiyans can no longer abuse Super Saiyan then spam ultimates, there is no more super armor so no one has super invincibility (even while charging attacks), there is the addition of charged ki blasts which can have different effects based on your Z-Soul, you can see the enemy's stamina and ki gauges so you can see for yourself that they can no longer spam or get unlimited of either, and they've added in ways to quickly close the gap between fighters.There is a brand new story which focuses more on the movies from the Dragon Ball universe. Xenoverse 2 is a major improvement to the first game in nearly every single way.There are brand new character customization features for you to delve into- everything from new outfits (there are outfits other characters wear and there are original outfits you can change the colors of), new special moves, new ultimate moves, new Z-Souls, new masters, and the completely new QQ Bang equips which allow you to overwrite the stats on your clothing which allows you to actually wear anything you want without worrying about what stats go up or down.Bandai Namco and Dimps have taken strides to improve the gameplay and add in changes to make it much more balanced. Xenoverse 2 is a major improvement to the first game in nearly every single way.ThereDon't let the the bad eggs try to steer you wrong.
