As we saw before, the much loved Hollywood adaptation of funny old Chinese cartoon Dragonball, entitled Dragonball Evolution, has received a PSP game of the same name.
The game has sold an astonishing 1,200 copies on the day of its release, topping the release charts in Japan (if you reverse the order).

Dragonball was Chinese? I didn't know that.
Yes. Hollywood rips off the original Chinese Dragonball without permission.

This is pure idiotism. I mean this version of dragon Ball. But nontheles, master roshi did his part right.
HAHAHA
this is EPIC~~~!!
LMAO
i laughed so hard....
Indeed, if it wasn't for the corny Quality, it captures the original DB's spirit quite well.
you fucking moron
you absolute fucking moron
are we in bizarro world? O.o
This is SPARTA~!
=.=
I always thought Dragonball was a Japanese creation. Dragonball: The Magic Begins was a Chinese (Cantonese) film, but if you're going to say the story was stolen from anyone, I would say it was stolen from the Japanese (though, stolen doesn't fit since the rights were purchased before production).

Fucking idiot, he's being sarcastic.
The tale of Son Goku is as old as time.
This man speaks the truth!
How old IS time anyways?
You can't measure it, because how do you measure time without time itself?
The most funny thing is that this cunt uses an avatar from a shit-drawn Goku while trying to explaing where DB came from.
I LOL'd XD
+ My sarcasm-meter exploded reading this article XD
mine suffered a massaive meltdown and is no long operational
Perhaps check out this century old novel "Journey to the West" from China.
I read 87 chapters of that book, couldn't finish it though.
Actually, the Dragon Ball Japanese manga was based on the Chinese myth of Sunwukong that also inspired the Saiyuki anime/manga. Not to mention that one episode of Love Hina.
Which one episode?
The one where they have a theater play, and Naru plays Goku/Wukong and Keitaro plays Tripitaka/Genzo.
AMAZING
GOTY material right here.
Either that or MOST UNDERRATED GAME EVER.
Guys, he's being sarcastic. Come on now.
Im not sure what amazes me more, Artefact's sarcasm or Dragonball Evolution's failure D:
it's amazing that some people actually wanted to buy this crab
it'll be more awesome if it's in the scale of hundreds rather than a thousans and a few hundreds.
Well Crab is rather delicious~ Maho~
Crab is omega delicious ~Maho!
Picolo laser beam reminds me of Devil Jin...
Hey now you mention it it does look an awful lot alike.
I never understood the appeal of this series but I think this and daoism make me understand why Bruce lee was so frustrated with fellow asians overfocus on Chi to a point they would neglect exercise and muscle building which is just stupid for any warrior.
The next Atari landfill, ladies and gentlemen!
And, of course, they will never admit about the landfill (just like happened with Atari) and they will lie that they sold millions of copies (which in fact they will give for free at videogames magazines*).
*Believe it or not, they exists talentless singers at Greece that they allegate that their cds have been platinum but they achieved that by giving for free their cds here and there. Talking about big idiocy.
10 years from now, they gonna find the game in a warehouse somewhere in Dubai stacked together with Virtual Boys and Apple's Pippin.
And don't forget the Ark of the Covenant
gosh, this is wasting the time and space of the universe
and for the DragonBall MagicBegin, it way more cooler than the new movie itself XD
Reminds me of Guilty Gear 2: Overture's opening week in Japan. It sold only 5,300 copies. I still wonder how in the world it got green-lighted for an American release.
Wow! Did you say Guilty Gear 2? I know every edition of this game apart from this one. I don't wonder why since it was such a failure as yoy say. :P
WHAT did I tell you!?!?
Video game adaptations of movie adaptations of well known manga series do NOT work!!
Don't you mean video game adaptations of movie adaptations of well-known manga adaptations of even better-known classical Chinese legends?
I think he does.
The most fail about this was the fact that the kamehameha didn't take 15 episodes to cast.
HA!
ZING
1000 copies sold is about 1000 copies too many
Sadly sarcasm doesn't translate well through text -cough-
This must explain why satire is never in literary form.
Hey! Master Roshi would've died himself if he performs Ma Fu Ba!
PSP needs more AAA games like this.
Really love the Yamcha walk-animation towards the victim. xD
Oozaru looks like a Wookie with "trendy" clothes. Whats up with that? And who or what's Fu Lum?
