Arlong Park said this of the game "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 . . ."JUMP Festa 2009.....(8)....
GameSpot's playthrough with the game during 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.Dragonball Evolution NYCC Demo @ Gamespot Visitors at the con also had positive opinions toward the game.
On April 8, 2009, Chris Roper of IGN gave the game a less favorable review stating that "Unfortunately, while the Dragonball games have largely been improving over time, reaching a point nowadays when they can be fun to even non-DBZ fans, Dragonball Evolution is a pile of trash."Dragonball Evolution Review, by Chris Roper for IGN (2009-04-8)
