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 . . ."

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. Visitors at the con also had positive opinions toward the game, which helped reception toward the movie as a result.

Gamepro gave this an "Average" of 2.5 praising its modes and story but hating the graphics. 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"
