In their defense Gokus infatuation with the dragon ball is cause it’s the 4 star dragon ball that grandpa gohan gave him when he was a kid (Dragon ball) and then he eventually passes it down to gohan to wear on his hat. That’s why you see the look of recognition before he hugs it, cause it reminds him of grandpa gohan lol. They definitely knew their history lol

The best Budokai game, sadly underrated, Dragon Rush can burn in hell in Budokai 3

It's sad how underrated this game is, truly a hidden gem. Great video

4:52 note on that, In Budokai 3, you can teleport behind someone without knocking them away by holding down guard. However in this game, you hold back on the dpad to do the same. Pressing forward and guard will do the knock away thing.

This game was underrated imo

This dropped at the perfect time as I was debating whether emulating budokai 3 for the sixtieth time or trying infinite world for the first time 🤔

Aside from no beam struggles, no tournament, and the weird hyper mode, what really saddened me about this game was the lack of a deeper roster. I wish they added cut characters like Android #19, Dodoria, Zarbon, Cui or even added some new ones like some other members of the Ginyu Force. IW does a lot right, but does feel like a Street Fighter style update.

As a kid the Shin Budokai games prepared me alot for this since the combat is the same along with the added movement options. Infinite World was one of my favorites when I got it, and the added story and mini games kept my attention

dam okay. I never knew this game wasn't just a copy and paste job of budokai 3 like others have said. So glad to take a deeper dive into this mysterious game

This game is forever tied to the experience of both my lungs collapsing in high school. I was in the recovery unit for so long that I ordered this game, it got delivered, and I beat it all while still in the hospital waiting for my lungs to get better.

Teleporting without instantly pushing your opponent away was also present in Budokai 3. You just need keep holding the guard button and it stops the kick/punch.

I love how you are willing to change your mind, even halfway through a video! Great stuff as always!

2:59 the reason is because it's gohan's 4 star ball. It'll always have a place in goku's heart.

I found out about this game in a magazine,I enjoyed it for what it was but I wish the level up system and the world tournament mode were included. The game overall seems like a combination of all 3 Budokais,it has the 1st's cutscenes,the 2nd's boardgame and the 3rd's graphics/gameplay with a smidge of Shin Budokai blended in.

I wish I could play this game my biigest issue with budokai is some characters not having ultimate attacks, especially Mecha Freeza since you can't equip death ball with Freeza's spaceship it's very annoying and I'm very happy infinite world fixed this issue

These are some of the most insightful and honest reviews about DBZ on the internet

you randomly came on my reccomended and now ive been watching all these great videos.

I been binging to your vids about a week so far. I love em!

You had me at the obscure DBZ game, you got a sub for the well timed ren and stimpy joke. Keep up the good work!

I'd actually been looking for this exact type of video for years and I think you're the first person to ever actually cover it. I always knew Infinite World existed and had some differences from Budokai 3 (namely cutscenes, mini-games and new characters) but could never find an actual extensive comparison between the two until now. All in all I do feel like I missed out on never getting to play this one, but at the same time I do kind of get why it was seen as a 'lesser' entry.

You’re editing is pretty good it had me laughing sometimes especially the egoraptor sound clip 🤣

Your edits are hilarious. Only reason I kept watching.

Awesome video, I'm very nostalgic for old dragon ball games so this was fun. Such an integral part of my childhood. I liked your editing and your voice too (:

I’ve been waiting for this since I subscribed to your channel for budokai videos

I like the funny edits in this video, and your review was great as always. Actually never noticed that lack of a beam struggle system lol. I played this very late, after the whole battle of z debacle and also believe it is underrated. Cant wait for the Burst limit vid.

I remember discovering the game at a local store back when I was still a kid. I never upgraded to a PS3 so I was really happy about this game. The best part about it was that if my friend was losing, he wasn't able to press select and start simultaniously to go all the way back to the main menu of the game. Cool channel btw, the Budokai and Budokai Tenkaichi games are still my all-time favorites to this day and I'll always go back to playing them during the christmas season (That's when I first got Budokai 3)

The most underrated title in the Budokai series.

Great video!😊

Great video! I want to play this game again now

I was just playing this last week 😆 will you be touching on burst limit in the future? Technically it’s budokai 5 lol

Wahey! Been looking forward to this! 😁👍 Can't wait to die of nostalgia when the Kingdom Hearts vid gets made 😍

I actually never knew this game existed which is weird cause I always used to here people go on about "When are we going to get budokai 4?" I guess this one went under the radar for a lot of people. Just want to say thank you for covering a lot of these games. It's interesting to hear your own personal experience with them as well as the review which is always entertaining :)

The use of the intense, eerie Sileny Hill theme clashes so fucking hard with the DBZ Infinite World footage and I honestly laughed so hard that I had to drop a comment. Love your content, btw.

This game was slept on big time. Also that silent hill music is making me cry nostalgia tears.

I love these videos

Well done! I had no idea this existed.

I wish so much that Raging Blast 2 looked like this. Thank you for the awesome content!

Phenomenal video!

2:57 fun facts, goku is happy with that ball because that was the same dragon ball his earth dad left him b4 he died

After watching your video I am considering playing this game soon

You're channel is really growing. Congrats.

For every good thing it did in comparison to Budokai 3 it fucked something up. They got rid of the crappy dragon rush cut aways but also took away tournament mode. They fixed the capsule system so you don't have to devote multiple slots for multiple transformations (Freeza couldn't use his spaceship revival and his ultimate thanks to having to give up so many slots), but added made the fatigue system annoyingly swingy. We got cutscenes but also crappy mandatory minigames. We got new characters and lost others. It's a worthy game but not some grand evolution to the series as much as it is a list of trade offs. Whether or not it's worth it has to do with what you like most about 3 I suppose. I still feel it plays a bit better thanks to the loss of the luck sacky dragon rush, and I prefer the roster here so I would probably more often choose to play Infinite World over Budokai 3.

I love your work on this 🔥🔥🔥💯, looking forward to your next video, be careful of burnout hidden🤟🏽💪🏽

dude i remember my first ever YT video i posted was when i finally beat omega shenron at the end of the game. took so many tears and tantrum but damn it was worth it ! Thanks for the amazing review. - Revive

you have a way with your editing of making my jaw hit the floor and get pumped in the first few seconds. Love that i stumbled onto this channel! And show the world its not weird for us girls to like DBZ im so tired of the looks i get from my friends DX

Thank you. I initially wrote off Infinite World but after your review I’m intrigued. Though, I would have gladly taken a 4th entry with the same exact mechanics as 3 with no story mode if it expanded the character roster.

It was great to see what this game was about. I didn’t play it much due to not actually owning it. Btw love the music used in this vid 👍🏾

omg I learned so much from you today! I didn't know budokai tenkaichi wasn't an official Budokai game!!! And this game flew under my radar completely, so thanks for the in-depth review! gonna watch your Budokai restrospective next, love your use of references so far, like DBZ:A

I first played Infinite World when I got my new phone back in December and I must say I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's entirely better than Budokai 3, I just switch between the two. Beam struggles should have stayed and there should be downsides to the burst mode.

Been playing this ALOT lately! So weird I came across your vid haha loved it! Also I wish they added general reildo from gt! That would’ve been sick 😷

I remember choosing Burst Limit for my PS3 over this game back in the day too! Still kicking myself over it though, as much as I enjoyed Burst Limit (the theme song and OST was just *chefs kiss*) when I found out it stopped at the Cell Saga I felt so goddamn robbed and sad hahaha! I'm very happy emulation exists so that I can enjoy this game nowadays! Great review as always Hidden, keep up the good work!

love your channel is awesome and amazing keep up the good work love your channel is awesome! 100%

Definitely a title a lot of DBZ fans slept on, myself included. You've given me the itch to go get a refurbished PS2 and give it a try.

After watching your Dbz videos you have earned a sub. I love your content so far and hope nothing but the best for you.

I loved Infinite World for it's mini games. But it was a weird case because it came after Burst Limit. It was just odd.

I actually laughed at the end of the fatigue system segment. Good shit

Binging these DBZ reviews. The more I watch you the more I notice you're cute and adorable. I love the editing and presentation in the videos, I love the research and passion behind your opinions and retrospective. Keep it up! You're inspiring and a joy to watch

I bought infinite world couple years ago and played it for the first time because I heard it was apart of the Budokai series (fav games ever). Man what a awesome gem! Budokai 3 to me is the greatest DB game of all time but Infinite world isn't far behind.

Great video. Budokai 3 is my favorite DB game, and infinite world does a good job being a Budokai 3.5

I remember playing this and wondering why it was kicking my ass so hard lol. This was a fun trip down memory lane, extra points for the Danganronpa music

I still have my old PS2 and this, and I love it.

I finally picked this game up, didn't even know it existed til recently and budokai 3 is my favorite game. It was just bad release time sadly. I watched this because the ai was beating my ass on normal and I had to find out if I was just washed. Thanks for confirming the ai is ruthless. Great video ❤️

This was my first Dragon Ball game, and I will always look back on it fondly. Even thought it took me SO... LONG... to beat 100% Frieza the first time

lol I have to give a follow just based on the bizarre mix of Budokai footage and Silent Hill intro. I didn't know I needed that in my life. (Great video otherwise too)

Haha that Intro is so me. I had no idea about this game, and felt slighted by the Tenkaichi series, didn't really have much interested in them after the first Tenkaichi, it wasn't what I wanted, a 3D Fighter, well it was too 3D lol. I recently bought a used copy on Amazon, and having a blast with Infinite World for sure, wish I would've played this when it came out though.

out of the 3 thunails that this video has the news one is my favorit

Infinite world was always my favorite of the budokai games as a kid.

i love the kh 2 music in the background *chefs kiss*

Wow I can't believe I never played this one, yeah by 2008 I already have moved on from the PS2, what a shame! but thanks for bring it to my attention, I will totally play this one in the future and get high on some Budokai nostalgia (even if it's not called Budokai 4 lol)

My brother got this game for his ps2 back in the day. I had no idea until recent years that it was a rare game, since many have not purchased it

Now I have to find a PS2 and a copy of this game. Budokai tm3 is one of my favorite db games. FighterZ is really good too. Haven't gotten around to play kakarot yet.

I remember seeing this game at stores but not even not knowing what it actually was or just seeing it in places and just being confused. I hear great things about it, and I will give the game credit for having an actual story mode over Budokai 3.

great analysis! I'm inclined to completely agree, with the one exception of the scaling being removed. I enjoyed manually levelling the skills in B3 - the capsule version of "B4" was unrewarding, impersonal and limiting. Budokai 3 remains my top DB game.

Fine, you convinced me, I'll replay this game

Just streamed this game. One of my favorite DB games

Just picked up your acent str8 away your a kiwi had to check ya channel out new zealand lol yea enjoy the dbz vids respect from chch

Despite all the DBZ games that have come out over the years, BT1 has the most badass and authentic Intro of all of DBZ games of the Franchise. BT2 and BT3 in my opinion still remains the most Unique and the best DBZ games in terms of content, quality and fanservices. And from the gameplay perspective aspects, these DBZ games that I mentioned are very close to the anime itself because of the Vibe and Charm, I don't know how to describe it but it was, and still is the most Unique DBZ experience you could have with the combat factor. (- Sheer amount de of characters - Transformations mid-battle (powering up and down) - Fusions mid-battle - Fast gameplay that has that "woah" feel - Tons of extra content - Story mode covering all sagas + movies - What If sagas - Shenron having permanent impact on game (character unlocks and whatnot) - Great tournaments that rotate availability - Edit characters with items (buffs) - 5v5 battles - Really Great and Epic Soundtracks - Destroyable environments - Entire stages could be blown up into their "destroyed" alternatives - Mission 100 being a great challenge - Artwork is 10/10 - Sound effects are great - Combat feels heavy and satisfying) Only Budokai 3, Infinite World, Raging Blast 1 and 2 and PSP DBZ games are still considered also very solid DBZ games, also the hidden gem that a lot of DBZ fans missed from PS2 Era of DBZ games is "Super Dragon Ball Z" which is also a real Unique and DBZ game, especially for the different gameplay aspects perspective. ✌☯️

Making me wanna play this tbh! 👍

1:58 Yes. It tricked me also to the same thinking as a kid

Good video

Is that Silent Hill music over Dragon Ball footage? Such a sublime vibe. It's like a blend of my husband's and my interests.

You are so awesome and funny, I love your videos! Made me play tenkaichi 3 again and budokai 3 again! Favorite childhood games... funny as hell you said you like the plagiarized music xD Me to! lmao

I remember not sticking to Infinite World for very long as I did with Budokai 3. I think it's partly due to no grinding. In B3, I remember spending hours grinding for characters' stats, zeni to buy capsules, getting everyone's Breakthrough capsule via Dragon Balls, and lastly, exploring Dragon Universe.

I also miss Burst Limit.

Y'know, while this review covered quite well the general aspects of IW as any other DBZ game, it kinda missed the new important changes for gameplay. How fatigue can be exploited, how Aura Burning can be used, how combos and combo routes have changes, how RTFs influenced the meta and why Super Armor basically dominated PvP.

This game got the battle of z treatmeant which isnt fair in my opinion

The shooting mini games were the bane of my existence, especially when you get to tien's

This is the true successor of the budokai 3, I couldn’t finish budokai 3 it was just too much however I had so much fun playing inifinite world

I loved the video, the information and the way of transmitting it. The only thing I could tell you as something constructive rather than destructive is that in the part where Pikachu appears with the subscribe and bell buttons, there is a very long space of silence between the last thing you say. If by chance it is something like a prefab or preset that you have prepared, I would tell you to let the video continue to be able to have a more adequate flow and no an awkward silence,, good luck in your next videos, there is a lot of potential here.

I think if Budokai 3 had been delayed, they would've had the GT characters Infinite World got since the game did have alot of Dragon Universe storylines cut from the game as well. Every character in the game was gonna have a what-if? The files for them can be played by putting a PS2 disk of the game into a PC or laptop and accessing the files.

Thank you

I played the PSP game "Shin Budokai 2: Another Road, before I played this back in the day. I barely remember both of them, but I remember thinking that Infinite World felt a lot like a Shin Budokai game brought to a bigger console. I could have faulty memory here, but I think the aura dash, the fatigue system, and the more "casual" ultimates (As opposed to the cinematic ones) all stemmed from the Shin Budokai games.

When playing this game I found the best way to earn zeni is to play fighters road as kid buu or teen gohan and set the difficulty to Z. As kid buu just charge your ki go into hyper mode and spam his human extinction attack. As teen gohan fill your opponent’s fatigue gauge while your ki is maxed then go into hyper mode and spam his ult over and over. It’ll fill your opponent’s fatigue all over again and you can just spam his ult again since his ult doesn’t go into a attack/defense mini game

I can’t imagine it’s more difficult than Budokai 3’s unlockable difficulty modes such as Z3. Still, I need to pick this up! The Budokai series was awesome. I had all of them (PSP entries included) except Infinite World.

Up until God of War for PS4 came out, this was my favourite game for almost 10 years

I couldn't find a working rom for Budokai 3 so I started playing this and tbh it's a lot better than I remember. I actually had this game when I was young and I didn't like it. Nowadays I'm loving it. We get to run across snake way

This is where the dragon ball caddass series in Japan took off with arcade machines.

I didn't like infinite world much since they changed the gameplay so much from budokai 3 and took away beam struggles which was my favorite part of any dragon ball game. The return to minigames in the story mode was nice though. Great video.

I miss this Game so much

Infinite World is the best Budokai game if we are talking about competittive aspect, but as a overall game because is more a complete package Budokai 3 take the win. I love Infinite World the most because is a much better game since i was into the competitive aspect and was the one being use for tournaments
