There's something unsettling about seeing actor Justin Chatwin as Dragon Ball's Son Goku--complete with gravity-defying hairdo aided by the local salon's finest product--grace a PSP screen. Yet that's exactly what Dragon Ball: Evolution does in Namco Bandai's new fighting game based on the live-action film. The result is a dull, muddled mess, and Dragon Ball: Evolution doesn't even do enough well to warrant more than a cursory glance from Dragon Ball-starved fighting game fans.
The Good:
* Combat engine delivers fast action
The Bad:
* Limited character roster is pure fan disservice
* Computer opponents are too easily exploited
* Drab colors, textures, and cutscenes
* Even less content than previous PSP Dragon Ball games
