That and some of the plot points in the story. Piccolo's airship, Meeting Yamcha in the desert, Bulma shooting Goku, Mafuba....(Sorta Kinda)....

This was posted by JP the owner of dragonballmovieblog.com He played through the PSP games story mode. As always...SPOILERS

Since everyone is asking!

I'm going back tomorrow to play again, so I'll have a clearer memory of a lot of things.

- Roshi is a pretty funny guy. There were a few lines throughout the game that made me chuckle. My favorite was toward the end when he, Yamcha, and Bulma arrive at the Dragon Temple in Yamcha's truck. All hell is breaking loose as Piccolo and Mai are present as well as the Fu Lums. Roshi looks out from the truck and says "Well, looks like you two can handle this. I'll just wait here in the truck."

- The Fu Lums regenerate and have these swords that they get from their bodies. Piccolo creates them from his own energy. He has to go in this special room to do it, though.

- When Goku and Bulma meet, Goku asks if she's Piccolo. Bulma asks if Goku stole her something-something-orb. I forget what she says, but she obviously doesn't know they are called Dragonballs, so she has this weird technical scientific term that she calls them.

- Bulma says they harness an energy that she wants to collect. I forget what the energy is called but the acronym is P.E.E and Goku responds "Pee? Gross!". Goku is pretty stupid throughout the game. At one point Bulma tells him that she wants to be as big as Einstein. Goku asks "Who's Eintein?"

-Bulma and Yamcha are flying around in the truck trying to get the Dragonballs away from Piccolo, and they succeed.

- It's not explained in the game (the game leaves out a lot of stuff and it's obvious) but Piccolo tells Goku he is a Saiyan named Kakorot. He tells him he was sent to destroy the planet on his 18th birthday. He then shows Goku the meteor Goku was sent down to earth in. Goku has a flash-back and we see the meteor hitting Earth and Gohan finding him in the ship.

- Goku apparently knows about Oozaru, but not that HE is the Oozaru, and he freaks out when Piccolo tells him. Then Goku transforms (I assume due to the eclipse) and goes ape **** on Yamcha, Bulma and Roshi. There is an awesome still of Oozaru with his hands around Roshi's neck.

-While Oozaru kicks the crap out of Bulma and Yamcha, Roshi decides that is it the perfect time to perform the MaFuBa. Of course, it fails. The game doesn't go into detail about what happens to Roshi after that.

- Goku has a vision of Gohan who tells him he must stop the Oozaru. So, then there is (and remember, this is just how the game does it) a fight between Goku and Oozaru on this astral plane type thing that I gues represents Goku's mind. Goku wins, and transforms back.

- Then Goku and Piccolo fight. And the game doesn't really show what happens after Goku beats Piccolo.

One of my friends told me recently that he saw a trailer for the movie in theaters so that's pretty good news.

About the PSP game...

People are complaining that Master Roshi's finishing move is "putting piccolo in a pot"...

I wonder if anyone in the U.S. has even seen Dragonball.

For those of you saying the film will suck and that it does not resemble dragonball, you are just in denial looking for more pathetic reasons to say the movie sucks, when you have not seen it, I mean there are still retards complaining that goku is not asian or not having Kintu'Un in the movie. Earth to retards it is live action, having Kintu'Un woud make it look weird. I coud understand for people being upset about tenshinhan and kuririn not being in the film. I can also understand how people thought it looked nothing like dragonball in the first trailer, it looked nothing like dragonball, but this second trailer looked awesome! It does look like dragonball, goku and piccolo fighting looked cool as hell!

But the problem is Kuririn isn't in the saga in the first place.....

I will miss Tenshinhan though.

Yeah, he is my favorite charecter, hopefully he will apear in the sequal which is highly unlikely for him to make even a cameo.
