This story mode has cutscenes that set up the turning points of the series - Raditz showing up to kidnap Goku's son, for example - but then tosses you into a fight or something that's completely nonsensical. Luckily, or perhaps sadly, fighting isn't a large portion of Dragon Mission. You can still edit your skills to modify your character and you can still transform, but none of this makes up for the fact that button mashing just isn't that fun. Basically, you're locked in a battle of slow-moving punches and lazy animations. Gone are the beam struggles fans came to know and love, and the arenas to fight in are largely rehashes of what players have seen before. You'll tap buttons like mad, and end up just firing off fireballs. It's not that fighting is broken in this fighter it's just that it's really boring. That's pretty much where the good news ends. On top of that are the Dragon Ball staples such as training and the ability to purchase skills via the Zeni you've acquired in successful fights. Dragon Mission serves as the game's story mode and takes you through some of the franchise's key moments, Dragon Duel is the versus mode where you can challenge Player 2 or the computer, and the unlockable Fighter's Road presents you with more than 100 combatants to unlock and take down across four maps. You'll take your controller's buttons through the punches, kicks, Ki Blasts, and Ki Burns you'd expect and toss them into three different gameplay modes. Meant to be a mix of elements found in the Budokai and Shin-Budokai games, Infinite World claims to be "the best of the Budokai series" on the back of its box, but I doubt that seeing as how at least some of those games were universally heralded as "fun" and Infinite World isn't. Yes, this version of Dragon Ball Z is no good. Think we're being too hard on this game? Look at these movies. "This game has the worst Dragon Ball fighting mechanics I have ever seen," he said after fooling with the controller for a few minutes and before handing the device back to me with a look of disgust. Now that you know that, know this: even Shivam thinks Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World sucks.
