Damn those who refuse to judge a book by its cover!
Seeing 12 videos of in-game footage and reading a full preview is hardly judging a book by it's cover. (Remember, they're typically trying to hype up the game in the previews, and if that's all there is to hype, then...yeah)
Obviously there's more to the game than just walking in a line, but that seems to make up about 80% of the gameplay. Being a fairly huge video game fan, who doesn't just buy games because of the brand names they slap on them, I honestly can't see the appeal of this game. This game doesn't offer any innovative or interesting gameplay, and as Mugenmidget said, it'll quickly become boring and repetative.
If they wanted to make a simple non-strategy 3rd person fighting game, then they should have tightened it up as much as possible. Multiple enemy, fast-paced battles typically keep me on the edge of my seat, and being DBZ, they could have gotten very creative with the fighting/flying system. You know, the types of fighting systems that are exciting even if you're just watching your friend play! Instead, what I see is a slow-paced and clunky looking game, with cookie cutter style gameplay.
PS - The graphics are about on par with N64 (as someone said earlier), this is sign number one of a very poor game.
