For those fans of Dragon Ball Z, the newest game, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World might be a game you're waiting for. But for other gamers, this might just be one that you want to pass up.

The Game

Dragon ball box For any Dragon Ball Z fan, Infinite World is a very challenging game for the PS2 that you will want to try out when you can. While the game has it's downfalls, if you know the basic strategies of the toons in the game, such as the Goku strategy guide here on Bright Hub, then you might not have quite as hard a time as those that don't know them. Overall, the game itself is pretty fast paced, and you shouldn't get bored too easily with all the battles and the great graphics. But, the downfalls can overwhelm them with how hard the game is overall and the massive lack of any type of instruction or tutorials in the game at all. In this review, we'll go through why you want to know a bit about the cartoon and the strategy behind the game itself so you aren't completely lost when you try to play Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World as well.

Story Line
Rating Below Average

In Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, you will play as Goku and head through a massive map fighting foes and playing minigames. You'll earn Zeni (which is the currency that you'll use in the game as you go to gain special weapons, skills, and more in the Warrior's Room Shop. During the game itself, the story line will unfold as you go, and there will be short mini-cartoons that will help to explain the story and what you are heading toward. These are normally before and then after the bosses that you'll go up against, and if you aren't a fan of the show, then you will want to pay attention to them closely or you're going to be totally lost in the game. But, truthfully, if you haven't ever watched the show or know anything about it at all - you're already going to be majorly lost when it comes to the story line.

The story line in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World is one of the major downfalls of the game in my opinion because it's just downright hard to follow and understand - even for those that love the show. For this part of the game, I'm giving it a 2 out of 5 just because anyone not a huge fan of the show is going to be hopelessly lost here.

Game Play in Story Mode
Rating Average

One thing that I actually like about the game play in story mode is that you can always go back and replay past battles that you have already won for extra Zeni to help bulk up your character and gain items and training that you'll need. This is something that lacks in other games, and a great way to bulk up your toon before you head into a super hard battle. This can be helpful, as the further that you go in the game, the bosses will get harder and harder, and I actually got to a point that I tried to beat one single boss for an hour and finally gave up it was just too hard. The good thing is that most of the lower level bosses use the same attacks and strategies, so you can easily learn to take them down quickly. So, in terms of game play in the story mode, I'm just middle of the road on it because it's so hard, but that challenging of a game also makes it fun. I'm going to give the game play in story mode a 3 out of 5.
