£49.99 for Battle of Z on Amazon(uk)? Are they crazy? I'm hoping this a place-holder price or something. The PS4 will be out by then so I would assume PS3 games will be around £30 but £50 wow!

Zavvi/TheHut has it for £37 and ShopTo for £39.

I tried using discount codes on Zavvi/TheHut for DBZ:BOZ but appears that this particular product isn't eligible for it (would've dropped down to £34 or so if possible).

£37 is still kind of high for me, considering I got Batman:AO on release day for £30, guess I'm hoping for something similar. If push comes to shove then I guess I'll have to adjust £7 out of my comic budget.

I'd buy it for £15 tops. Same I'm going to do with the previous ones. I've seen Burst Limit at £10, will buy it soon.

True. If Namco Bandai sold the game at launch for only £15 they'd get more sales than they'd ever expected from any DBZ game.

People like cheap but good games.

I give this game one credit. It's original cover(The one with SSG Goku) was badass. That's all. Now the new cover art. That's shit. Utter shit.

Not to disrespect your opinion. But you like the mash up characters, randomly thrown in character, badly colored, and looks like every image on the cover was photo shopped better than a SSg Goku looking epic on the cover?

I just feel like it has more happening. Don't get me wrong, it still looks rushed as all hell, but so does the other one. The SSG Goku was ginormous and allowed for nothing else on the cover as though it was the only selling point.

I suppose you're referring to the one with a crapload of Gokus everywhere and random characters (unless Namco Bandai revealed a new one recently)? Sure you can like it in your opinion but that's just awful.

Anyone could've open up Photoshop/Paint.net throw around those characters as stickers and bam, the cover's done.

I do hope they keep the original art-cover available through reversible cover.

I must be the only one who hates both covers :v
Just give me Ultimate Butouden or Shin Budokai 2's cover and I might buy it.

I doubt we'll get 2 covers. The UK usually get left out when it comes to reversible covers.

It's not like the original is great. It's just the SANTos Goku model posed and covered with Photoshop filters.

He couldn't really do a 20-30min review of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z because there's not a whole lot to point out which hasn't already been, at max a 10-15min review.

- Gameplay (always 4v4 button masher)
- Graphics (cel-shaded and good looking)
- Music (wait for the demo)
- Voice Acting (features the original Japanese and the English Kai dub)
- Story (authentic DBZ story mode but modified for 4v4 battles)
- Cutscenes (as shown in the trailer it comes with new cutscenes)

The demo will decide whether the game's worth it or not simply by how the gameplay functions, and then the rest (graphics, music, voices, story, blabla).
