10 Movie Video Games EVERYONE Missed

5. Dragonball: Evolution

After watching the Dragonball: Evolution film, you'd swear this live-action adaptation was tailor-made to insult anime fans and personally destroy your childhood.

So, if you feel like this abomination tainted the beloved manga series, you should probably keep away from the PSP beat 'em up it spawned, which is also called Dragonball: Evolution

At first, you'd assume the game can't be that bad. After all, it was developed by Dimps, the same team behind several entries in the well-received fighting franchise, Dragonball: Shin Budokai. Because Evolution has the same engine, gameplay, rush attacks, and commands as Budokai, there's no logical reason why it should fall short.

Well, the good news is the PSP tie-in isn't as bad as the movie. (Although that's not hard. Having a hernia is more enjoyable than watching that crapfest.)

But because of the abysmal controls and dire AI, Dragonball: Evolution is a serious contender for worst PSP game of all time. And since the character designs are based on their movie counterparts, you'll be constantly reminded of the awful film during your playthrough. Even if you love the Budokai instalments, you should give this dud a wide berth.
