Dragonball Evolution is the video game adaptation of the live-action film Dragonball: Evolution, based on the Dragon Ball franchise.

It's the first Dragon Ball video game spin-off to feature Bulma as a proper playable character.

[edit] Reception

Arlong Park has revealed some information about Dragonball the Movie. Greg has confessed, "So far I am severely unimpressed. We're listening to airheads talk about some very basic stuff . . . First game pictures look like DBZ Sparking but with real textures. Bulma seems to be a fighter this time around . . ."[1]

Gamespot's playthrough with the game during the the New York Comic Con had a more positive reception with more details given about the various game modes, playable characters, unlockables and special attacks. [2] Visitors at the con also had positive opinions toward the game, which helped reception toward the movie as a result. [3]

On April 8, 2009, Chris Roper of IGN gave the game a less favorable review stating that "Unfortunately, while the Dragonball games have largely been improving over time, reaching a point nowadays when they can be fun to even non-DBZ fans, Dragonball Evolution is a pile of trash." [4]
