This is what I had to say when I first seen the score.  Looooooooooooolz.  I thought this game was going to be decent but, I guess not.  What do you guys think?  Is this game as shitty as the up coming movie?

EDIT:  Review of.......      lol

Cheat code:
If you hit "square" 3,456 times, then press "circle" "up" "up" "up" "down" "down" "down"
"square" (another 3,456 times), and then hit your PSP screen with a ball pin hammer exactly 3 times while eating a soft taco, you will unlock the "making of" video.

Utter crap game.
I highly suggest trying it. ;)

This isn't surprising, the movie will probably rate around that score also.

Someone actually thought this was going to be good...?

This falls into the "no duh" category. Did anyone expect this game to be good at all?

Heh, this is what they call "to be expected."

One more thing before I head out:

The backgrounds are awesome.

Not to my knowledge.

"Dragonball Evolution's main Story mode just takes you through this tale, so it doesn't last long. I was able to finish it in less than two hours. Let me tell you my amazing strategy for finishing it:

Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, Square, watch the end credits.


Seriously, I finished the entire story mode using only the Square button. No directional presses, nothing. The only two exceptions to this are that I had to use X to get through the cutscenes, and one fight near the end required finishing it with an Ultimate Attack. So I just used Square the whole fight until my opponent was weak, and then pressed Up and Circle at the same time. Done. Roll credits. Keep in mind that I only lost in three battles and actually racked up S rankings (the highest) in a handful of them."

This goes without saying but: WOW! Talk about giving Big Rigs a run for it's money.

Hell no.
But I think people expected to have it actually function as a game.

That structure in the background looks mighty phallic... anyway, it was this review that inspired me to try the Squarebutton  = WIN tactic before I sent my copy back to my overlords and it's totally true.

I thinks that's pretty generous
