Ok, I never wrote a review before, so no make fun.
Xenoverse Title Screen. FIRST thing I noticed was this. (Fast Forward to 0:29 and listen to music)
Compared to THIS.
Either Metallica gave the OK or this is a MAJOR fail.
First, these are all the confirmed races. Human Male and Female, Saiyan Male and Female, Namekian, Icejin (real race name still to be confirmed, male body style only available) and Majin Male and Female. Only Saiyan Male/ Female and Namekian were available so far in the beta. Saiyan females all look like damn 12 year olds though. Saiyan guys are like 6'1 and the girl is like half is size and a third of his weight! I don't see anything to do with the tail though, none have them. You can make your character look just like most of the cannon characters as well.
Now, the lobby area where you run around, you can interact with others with a series of movements or preset messages. You can only run, no jumping or flying yet. There is item shops and such as well. I did notice some objects, like benches were not solid yet and some places like the curbed off grass around trees could not be walked onto for some reason. You can push stationary players around witch is kinda funny. Looks kinda odd too, like your in Heaven, with Snake Way all around you and the movable area being on huge round floating things that look like Kami's Lookout.
Buying actual cannon character clothes kinda sucks, they can not be recolored. Resale value is only 25% of the original price, so I took a bit of a loss. Oh well. I liked how one of my favorite attacks, the Makankosappo (Special Beam Cannon) was a buyable ULTIMATE technique (Like Monarch, Admin! Not Master!), so that was badass. Also its pronounced Mah-can-co-sah-poe. you can also send people items and gifts and what not in a mail service. There's healing items, Energy items, KO recover items and also soul items that give you special advantages under certain battle conditions. With certain shards and mixing capsoules, you can make your own items that I listed for cheaper.
Just seen a couple dudes in turtle Gi's try to fuse! (genaric animation, not actual thing lol)
You can battle anyone anytime or go to the battle network. Can also fight NPCs, and play as Cannon Characters. I'm gonna try my luck against NPC Raditz... who has a shit ton of hair. Got my ass kicked... learn your controls! Getting thrown into random areas where you float on nothing or clip into crap is common too when KOed. Better fight Brando- err Yamcha. Didn't work. But after figuring out L2 is fly and holding R2 is for the special attacks, I'm good. Can fly at people and super-punch them too! Also fighting Goku is a horrible idea.
It kinda lags out and makes you run slow sometimes but the loading screens aren't too bad. Searching for rooms is time consuming though. As far as quests, I guess you play a role in the main story, from beginning of DBZ. Apparently you can do them as Cannon Characters too? Kinda sucks as everyone just uses Goku and takes all the KOs.
Can get Goku and Kid Gohans outfits as rewards instead of buying along with some iconic moves like the basic Kamehameha and the Double Sunday. But just got locked in a Waiting Room and had to back out. So, id say its good for a Beta, but the full version needs alot of work yet.
