Dragonball Evolution is a fighting game for the PlayStation Portable based on the live-action film of the same name. The game was released in March 2009 in Japan, followed by a North American release on April 8, 2009. It is the first Dragon Ball video game to feature Bulma as a playable character.

Reception

The game was panned by the critics. IGN gave the game a 2 out of 10, calling it a "pile of trash," "disaster burned onto a UMD," and "competitor for the worst game on the PSP."^[1] Reviewers noted that pressing the same button repeatedly was sufficient to win battles against the AI in the game's story mode, while adding an Ultimate Attack to the mix was similarly effective in the arcade mode.^[1][2] The cinematics were criticized for being simplistic in presentation and plot.

Gamepro gave this an "Average" of 2.5 praising its modes and story but hating the graphics. With a rank of 2.5 it's pretty much garbage. Gamepro also said "this is not the best game on the psp but it is not the worst... Dragonball fans or fighting game fans owe it to themselves to at least rent this one."^{[citation needed]}
