[@Arteaga4K]

This game come out very late in PS2’s lifecycle and everyone was moving onto the PS3/360 so not surprised this game didn’t take off. But I couldn’t afford a new console back then, very underrated DBZ game. I played this more than BT3 back in the day

[@iankendall8467]

I remember I got this instead of BT3 and was disappointed. That was quickly replaced by joy when I realized just how great of a game this is.

[@yaginotsumi1838]

Infinite world is the best 2D Dbz game, it's basically Budokai 4 and a direct upgrade in almost every aspect, I truly believe the main reason it didn't get enough love is because it's not named "Budokai 4"

[@AK-su3tz]

Also it released pretty late, people were already moving to ps3

[@dreplayzyt7957]

I truly am not a fan only because beam clashes and world tournament is gone other that great game really it just that it took very fun aspects and threw it away

[@Dr._Doppietta]

We are actually on that, making Infinite World into actually Budokai 4. ;)

[@yaginotsumi1838]

@@Dr._Doppietta you mean by developing a mod or smth?

[@vieweranonyme3124]

The developers wanted to make DBZ Infinite World more based on skills instead of luck (like the Dragon Rush) or brutals mecanics (like beam clashs and burst clashs) but of course everyone love beam clashs so it was a shame to remove it

[@Duarnatan]

Believe it or not, this was for years my favorite Dragon Ball game, even though Budokai Tenkaichi 3 already existed.

[@Medachod]

I'd say it makes more sense to compare with the Budokai games rather than Tenkaichi. That is on par with comparing Clash of Ninja to Ultimate Ninja Storm. Two entirely different experiences. Not that I'm saying it isn't okay to prefer it because you like 3D fighters more or vice versa with those preferring 2D ones. But it is strange to "compare" them.

[@Duarnatan]

@@Medachod It may seem strange, but my comparison was made taking into account only the story mode, at that time I didn't pay much attention to the combat system and stuff, I was that kid who just pressed buttons and had fun, that's why I preferred to play Infinite World, since it had a greater variety of levels, like the Snake way, catching bubbles, or training the Spirit Bomb, as well as training Goku in his spaceship or in the chamber of time, that was what made him so special to me.

[@retropulse03]

I was hardcore plugged into Dragon Ball and Video games in 2008. The fact that this flew under my radar is astounding. I actually only found it when I was, years later, researching the PS2 library.

[@kiz5562]

7:15 its a well known fact that the dev's forgot to adjust the difficulty. Pretty clear oversight, even on Very easy , the fights against Kid buu and Shenron are insanely hard for casuals like me. I still have fun with IW, but it has some small downsides that prevent it from being as good as B3

[@gomezalejandrog]

I think people forgot about it because it released 2 years after the PS3 released. I think by then everyone hopped over to the Halo/COD/Bioshock next generation of gaming. I remember I bought the game but I was just so into the new games that were coming out that I forgot about it. I honestly think 2008 was a legendary time for gaming so many good games came out around that time.

[@thedevilsleutice]

Gears 2 would have been active.

[@JanjoZone]

The problem I had with IW is that it felt rushed. In the sense that you wanted more from it. While I enjoyed the gameplay additions plus the capsule system, the lack of beam struggles & tournament mode was a sin. They removed some characters to add some (better) ones; however at this point you expect a more reasonable amount of new characters: 19, Zarbon, Dodoria, Cui, Burter & Jeice, etc. B3 just had a vibe that IW wasn't able to get in my opinion.

[@awsomemodels]

Exactly ! This game could've been perfect if it had more characters and more stages , i felt the wasted potential even when i was a kid !

[@ronniedweetno891]

It was rushed because most of the dev team was focusing more on the release of Burst Limit for the ps3

[@Holyluckdan]

Pretty sure they have beam struggles

[@ayui69]

Dimps didnt even get a full year to finish the game

[@Abandoned2377]

The advertising was trash too.

[@SSJ491]

The very last Dragon Ball Z game on the PlayStation 2 back in late 2008 from 15 years ago. When I went to Target store, and I saw Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World on the shelf. So I picked it up and buy it for $40. I hooked it up on the PS2, and it was good but it was a complete different from Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3. Dimps took out hyper mode from Budokai 3, they took out dragon rush qte sequence during gameplay, and they took out the World Tournament on the main menu. Which I don't know why they took the World Tournament out in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World? The story from Dragon Ball Z, GT, and DBZ films were good, the cutscenes were good as well, but the mini games were lackluster during story mode. They've added brand new characters such as Goku (GT), Vegeta (GT), Pan (GT), Super Baby Vegeta 2, Super #17, Syn Shenlong, Janemba, Pikkon, and etc. So I was we can play Baby Vegeta, Goku (GT), Pikkon, and more in a Budokai game. Where as Budokai 3 only let you play as Kid Goku, Kid Uub, Cooler, Bardock, Broly, Omega Shenron, SSJ4 Goku, SSJ4 Vegeta, and SSJ4 Gogeta. Which its also good too. But I think they could've done a bit better for the last DBZ game on the PlayStation 2.

[@kiz5562]

they removed world tournament since you earn $$ from all your fights in the storymode and fighters road. its basically a fusion between shin budokai/burst limit and budokai 3. its not a perfect game, but i've still had alot of fun with it over the years.

[@mas96]

The hours i spent grinding on this game in 2008-2009 best times

[@yaginotsumi1838]

This channel is so criminally underrated fr

[@iAmEchoFPS]

I loved dragon ball sagas as a kid, I knew it had problems but I really loved it lol

[@waalex11]

I mainly played Budokai 2 and love it. Followed by the HD Collection with 3 on Xbox 360. I've never realized this was "Budokai 4" for such a long time, and now that I'm buying PS2 games for myself that I loved and owned on GameCube, I'm frustrated to never have played this. It's worth $100 CAD now, and I noticed it two or three times, but once again, completely forgot what it was, neglecting it for the price and thinking it wasn't the original Budokai I loved. Although, I could get it on PCSX2 one day, but that's for away when I build my first PC. I would still like to try it, but I might still love Budokai 2 the best. Looking at the gameplay though, I don't love it... I'll try it on PCSX2 one day.

[@AS-fu1kd]

I played Budokai 3 to death back when it came out. I can't believe im only just hearing about this game.

[@gomezalejandrog]

The music of Budokai 3, beams of Budokai 3 (including beam struggles), with the added features of Shin Budokai 2, that would be perfect. Still hoping for a Budokai 4

[@BZgA]

Never played this game but the story mode looks fun. Take my like 👍🏻

[@DavidLucian]

Nostalgic Vibes for sure...

[@thedevilsleutice]

Considering how close it was, and how similar they feel on an Xbox controller. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was in development around the same time as burst limit.

[@gjergj124]

Also my favorite of the budokai series because of the GT Charadters. The heathy bar and energy bar portion looks cheap tho. Budokai 3 did that best

[@jameslarryaaaaaaaaaaaqasaa1233]

Really wish I knew why they dropped the ball with burst limit.

[@gurra981]

this was my first DBZ game ever and man is it fucking good, played it for so long as a kid and tried my best to 100%, i then got Tenkaichi 2 and Budokai 3 but did not enjoy them as mutch as Infinite, if anything i hated them lol

[@ronniedweetno891]

This game my friend is definitely the best of the budokai series. I am sorry that it was rushed and underrated because it was released around the time that DBZ Burst Limit for ps3 released so alot of persons paid it no mind. If the devs had named it Budokai 4 it would have made more waves. But i guess they didnt because they knew that it was rushed. Otherwise the game mechanics are the most solid and the AI in this game will destroy and break you till the point you will never want to play again and i love it !! Definitely should have considered moving it to the ps3.

[@jordiroblero9214]

Infinite world came out hella late along with burst limit IW took the mechanics from the psp games and brought it to the ps2 combat was fun but took awhile to get used to

[@bryanjacobs1423]

My problem with this game is that it was more like a DLC for Budokai 3 than a standalone game

[@kylecorrow6743]

I played this more than any game back in my highschool days.

[@TAMILTSMG]

To be honest, i never heard of this game but it looks super saiyan amazing!

[@zackmorris6376]

The dumbest decision in video game history was NOT calling this game Budokai 4. I remember as a kid loving the budokai games and me and my friends played all of them faithfully but whenever we saw infinite World on the shelves we ignored it because we thought it was a spinoff game with different gameplay. Im pretty sure many kids did the same growing up hence why its so forgotten, fact is a lot of us didn't know this game was Budokai 4 in everything but name.

[@elliott1996jsr]

I’m sure I still have this game somewhere and I need to find it it’s worth £100

[@ezrat4248]

Hmmm? Where are you getting prices its way cheaper lol

[@TOLETSYT]

This game deserves remake version

[@Dr._Doppietta]

For as much as I love IW, saying it's rushed and unfinished it's still a compliment. Game is broken, borderline unplayable, with shitty minigames and a totally messed up fatigue system. Which is a shame, considering the rest of its gameplay was really really solid.

[@kiz5562]

oh, its the doctor himself! i do agree that IW is brutal for casuals like myself, but the removal of RNG dragonrush and improved capsule system + aura dash make it alot more interesting than B3.

[@carlintaylor3229]

Got this game my sophomore year of high school in 2012 second semester it was a pretty solid better roster even if it did back me wanna rage quit at times 😂😂 still enjoyed unlocking characters with my bros in this game

[@BrianAwesome]

I just happen to come across this game in 2008, otherwise i wouldnt gave known about this game.

[@moroseloki1912]

3 months ago 😮

[@TRVPHAUS]

why is he make love to dragon ball at beginning LOL

[@demetriusb.7885]

Huh??!??

[@leonardosuhani9351]

Bro ❤

[@devonwilliams136]

If we're being honest Infinite World is basically DBZ Budokai 4

[@Flipitmixit]

They shoulda just made a budokai 4 instead of a budokai 3.5, maybe then it wouldve done better

[@The_Masquerade]

Am i the only one who didn't have any difficulty with this game? I remember my first time playing the game on hard difficulty till i bought Very Hard and Z difficulty and played all the game on that difficulty even the many games it was quite the challenge and i loved it

[@TheMahayanist]

People who say this game is hard just aren't good at the Budokai games.

[@The_Masquerade]

@@TheMahayanist I couldn't agree more The Gameplay is fun and quick seriously improved from Budokai 3 Missed the beam struggle in the game tbh Cut scenes so clean And I like the addition of some new Alternatives Ultimate Attacks

[@syzerx6789]

This game got a lot of unnecessary hate, but in reality was better than all of them in a lot of ways. If you think about it, this game combined the Budokai 1 and 2 story mode style with Budokai 3 graphics and Shin Budokai ish gameplay. The best of all worlds lol.

[@KrimsonKreamer]

BEST GAME

[@digiing1992]

I will admit that the game looks fun, but sadly I'm not the type to enjoy mini games. I would probably not have liked playing the game much if I owned it.

[@waalex11]

*_Infinite World is Lifeless!_* Out of the 4 Console DBZ Budokai games, it is easily the worst and deserves its 3/10 rating.

[@waalex11]

Aside from some fighting improvements, everything else is awful. I kinda regret buying it.

[@Eebrunnit]

No beam struggle is crazy bro 👎🏾

[@INFINITEGAMING822]

BRUH THE REASON IT WAS HARD IT IS BEACUSE THAT U B3 PEOPLE SAID THAT U WANTED MORE OF A ACTUAL CHALLANGE AND NOW THIS IS TO HARD FOR YOU GUYS?

[@SnudanaStrode6624]

Nah U Forget That Tenkaichi 3 Is Way Better But We A Never Forget Tenkaichi 3 The Best There Ever Was💯

[@ezrat4248]

Dbz BT2 was better xenoverse better kakarot better

[@Orbzies]

Dragon ball soundtracks just ain’t as banging ever since they fired the plagiarizer 😔
