Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World

If you like the original budokai series then this is a great upgrade, with more characters than budokai 3, few new ultimate moves, better graphics (from dbz cardass), upgraded battle system (implements some from shin budokai psp) and new cell shaded cut-scenes. Only annoying thing about this game is the mini-games; which i hate other than that a great fighting game.

If you liked the tenkaichi type gameplay then this game is not for you. Personally tenkaichi is a button basher, has badly modeled character graphics, crappy game mechanics and very bad cut-scenes.

This game builds on all of the best parts of the budokai series. the story mode is less detailed, and isnt the free roam world, its the board game style, but to be honest it cuts alot of wasted hours, spent flying over ever part of the map to unlock items or find things. the story mode also covers GT, so it makes up for the lack of detail, as most people who by this game are DBZ fans anyway and have played the other DBZ games, after your 30th time through the story you dont mind the lower amount of detail.

the fighting is 2D style like the budokai series, there are some minor alterations to the fighting, some new characters, new moves, and no hyper mode therefore no dragon rush.(thank god!)

id agree this is the best parts of the budokai series and is a nice end to DBZ for PS2, people who are fans of the budokai tenkaichi, games probably wont like this game.

this game is simple to learn and play well , but to master it is VERY difficult, so there are many hours of practicing advanced fighting styles for the dedicated gamer, alot less button mashing than tenkaichi.

I have played the prievious Budokai and Tenkaichi games and this a great end to the series. It has many of the good elements and superior fighting style of budokai with some tenkaichi elements. The longer story makes up for the loss of free roam; as anyone who played the old games you'll know that the one annoying thing about any of the games is the story is over in a day. this one include the GT saga. Also the bosses on the game are harder then they were previously. One of the small problems with the game is the lack of world tournament.

However that is really the only real problem, in my mind a fitting end to the DBZ games and a must have for any lover of the DBZ games, especially Budokai lovers because of the familiar battle system.

When i got this game i already new it was a 2d style fighting but im still not won over by it after playing Tenkaichi 3 this game just doesnt have the fun factor of the Tenkaichi series

When budokai 2 came out, i thought it was fantastic. The gameplay was good, but i really did not like the boardgame style for the story mode. Unfortunately, infinite world has gone back to that style and i'm not impressed. Instead of going forwards, it seems that they've gone backwards. I loved the budokai tenkaichi games, especially the gameplay. You were so free to be able to move around and do whatever you want and fly around. But now its just two characters in front of each other who have no choice but to just fight. Like street fighter. To me it just seems the creators couldn't really be bothered as this is the last dbz game which will be released on the ps2. This is the only dbz game i've ever been let down by. The story mode is really boring too. Omg no effort whatsoever!
