Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has met all fans' expectations with the previous version. It improves every combat problem in the original game and brings a rich amount of content. The gameplay is perfect and there are a lot of characters to choose from.
The overall plot also feels different from the first game and is not repeated. The game can be said to have too much DLC, and is still getting new content, but at this point, most fans simply want a Xenoverse 3. Even so, Xenoverse 2 still proved to be one of the best Dragon Ball games ever.

Budokai 2 is the weakest game in the Budokai series, but is still a great game in the series. It is the first game in the series that covers the entire story in Dragon Ball Z. One of the best aspects of the game that fans remember is the "What-if" combination. Examples include Tiencha (combining Tien and Yamcha's Metamoran), Gokule (combining Goku and Hercule's Potara), and Super Buu absorbing Goku, Vegeta, Frieza, Cell, Yamcha, and Tien.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a great and important game for the Dragon Ball franchise. The game is primarily story-based and closely follows the adventures of the Time Patroller created by the player, as they repair altered timelines. This is a great concept that allows players to go through Dragon Ball Z's Story Mode with more change and variety. This new game mode doesn't quite fall into the popular "What-if" category. Dragon Ball Xenoverse also has a variety of side content such as the engaging Parallel Quests. Although there were many issues with the combat system, they were all fixed in the next part of the game.
