The North American PSN Store updates Tuesday afternoons ET.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Yeah. This isn't exactly a high priority title that people would be waiting on for a midnight release. It'll probably come with the typical store update. Usually around 4 or 5 PM, from what I remember (my last download was the DmC demo).

In the meantime, I'm going to attempt to fumble my way through the Japanese version after it finishes downloading.

I'm at 83% at 5 minutes, PSN isn't bogged at all right now.

Been ages since I've signed into my Japanese PSN account...

What's the difference between the japanese ps3 and ps vita versions of the demo?

Only one combo hahahahaha

anyway, would you mind giving more of your impressions please? Like some of your likes, and your dislikes with the demo you've played so far?

[Super Sayian Prime]

Based on the screenshots attached to the store page it looks like the Vita version is subnative resolution.

The PS3 version is almost done installing, just going to download the vita version (will play this at work).

[dbboxkaifan]

I don't think people should judge a game on a demo. It would be funny if the game did better with reviews and sales then we all thought it would.

There's been times when the demos' were actually better than the retail full game, two great examples are Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Alien Vs. Predator.

After I'm off from work (4PM) I'll get to download BoZ on my 360/PS3.

Just played a mission online with some strangers. This game is both terrible and totally awesome. It makes sense why there's only one combo because these matches are pure chaos. No feeling quite like juggling nappa between the 4 of you.

The menu screen and music and ridiculously awesome also.

[NintendoBlaze53]

Just like to mention the Jap Demo on PS3 allows custom music. Does anyone else think the controls are not that bad just wish the melee button could be square. Also is SSj God available in the demo? It's a pretty good demo the battle against Raditz reminded me of of Legacy of Goku.

[TheDevilsCorpse]

Yeah, I have to agree. The game mechanics are really horrible. It's next to impossible for some characters to quickly close the gap between opponents without leaving themselves open to attack, guard mechanics are practically nonexistent once you are being attacked (from what I've seen) and all characters have a severe lack of depth in terms of actual combat. How you use said characters is still different based of their supers and support techniques.

...despite all that, this game is like a Gundam Arcade Game X Super Smash Bros mixture, and the result is pretty fun. Things are so hectic all the time that the problems don't really matter all that much. Definitely needs some refining though...

BTW, there seem to be like 4 stages (at least I had like 3 stage pop-ups after finishing the single missions) and you can play as Goku, Gohan, Kuririn and Piccolo in the online battles. Tenshinhan and Yamcha are available in one of the single missions.

[Silkman3003]

ouch. well i'd only hope the combat gets a major improvement in the sequel


if it even gets one.... still, it goes in line with what treevax said earlier on his impressions on BOZ

[Jord]

Just played the demo for a bit and it seems like a fun, arcadey game. Not worth full price but I think there's wuite a bit of fun to be had with it when the online community is active.

[supersaiyan DbZ fan]

My version is better

[sangofe]

I was surprised by the fact that you actually walk around finding enemies. I like this. I'll post my impressions once I actually try this.
