I played the game today at the Eurogamer's Expo at London, here's my excerpt from my blog.
I've religiously played all 3 DMC games, but not to the point of creating massively crazy combos or take zero damage, but good enough to beat the DMD modes, if that means anything anymore:

I had the opportunity to play a demo build of the game today at London's "GamesCon" (Eurogames Expo) (infact it looks like a lot of things it's known as)

The game felt choppy/not smooth.

There is an evade button. It's like a small forward dash seen in Street Fighter 4. (L1 or R1). Unfortunately I didn't get much opportunity to use this, as I (as noted earlier) was too used to just using jump to avoid enemies.

The controls felt slightly choppy. For example I found it quite difficult to do this "glide forward" maneuver required for some platforming segments, and it'll probably not crucial for gameplay however, but it sometimes seem to fail to register the fact I performed this move.

There is no lock on as seen in the previous 3 games. While testing I found myself sometimes accidently pushing the directional stick slightly the wrong way and I'll go after another mob (2nd reason I found it a bit choppy)

In some cutscenes, whether it's because the model is beta or whatnot, Dante looks fucking ugly. I skipped most cutscenes though, the ones I did see were from watching people play.

--- Combat ---

Combat felt like DMC3/4 Dante, naturally. There was 2 moves that lets you hook onto enemies, or pull enemies towards you. If it's unclear what I just said, imagine the following:

A Death Knight from World of Warcraft using "Death Grip":

When you drag the enemy in front of you, you can resume comboing it.

For the opposite, imagine Link from Zelda using the Hookshot (infact this was featured in DMC4 too via the Devil Arm)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lq8Pud2xiE

When performed, usually for aerial enemies but can be used for any mob as well, you zoom towards the mob and then can resume comboing it.

I was given 2 other weapons to use. 1 is a scythe, and 1 is a hammer.

The scythe seems to be ideal/good for Area of Effect damage. The hammer is good for overpowering enemies with shields (your sword and scythe would deflect if the mob blocks with its shield).

I didn't explore the options deeply but to use either the Scythe or the Hammer I had to hold on to L2 and R2 respectively and then play normally. I wasn't sure if I could've switched permanently ala DMC3/DMC4 style to change my combat abilities until I switch another weapon, but it made for lots of frustrating moments when I would accidently let go of L2/R2 and go back to using the sword.

I was only given the dual guns (Ebony & Ivory) to play with. They seem useless/pointless.

You could only one 4-combo attack in midair using the sword, or 1 special where you would do the good-old Dante downward slash move. I don't recall trying it with the hammer but I did do some satisfying KOs via smashing the hammer onto the floor. I believe you spin the scythe in midair, but I don't recall it doing anything to the floor.

I was not able to perform any different combos via hitting my slash button at slightly different times. Either it was not available because I don't have the purchased skill, or it just wasn't there.

Devil Trigger was weird. Pushing R3 and L3 together activates it, which seems to slow/freeze time. Unfortunately I kept forgetting to use it (I kept forgetting it was there) so I barely go to use it until the game reminded me to do so. I didn't get much opportunity to fool around on this, so I didn't remember/note that I had any special abilities while under the Devil Trigger buff.

I missed it as I had to leave with my friends, but it seemed there were 2 builds of the game available. One was a normal "stage" (the same city crumbling apart as seen in countless trailers/videos) and the other was what I would call a "boss" build where you fight some fugly slug like thing (as seen in a gif on the previous page).

I wasn't able to test the boss, but I saw some complete button mashing moron beat it, so I don't think I would've felt challenged.

The game feels clunky overall and it definitely was not as smooth as DMC4 running on my shit laptop. There was no shop or other things I could toy with. Due to the lack of headset/volume, I was not able to hear much, or his voice. Blessing or not I'm not sure.

For the stage demo, a platforming segment towards the end revolves you going into a church and it breaks apart. As you walk further in, the platforms break away and you gotta do near perfect jumps/glides to get to the other side. I kept dying here (falling down) and had to restart. After about 5 minutes of attempting (due to game failing to register my glide), I was incredibly disappointed to see the demo end as I had wasted my effort, I was hoping for a boss (which was on the other 2 stations, which I didn't notice until I had to leave).

Overall, unless I find out about more when it's released, i.e. extra guns, weapons, combos/styles, I will not buy it on Day 1 and will probably wait for it to get super-cheap or second hand before buying it.

EDIT: PS3 version

Maybe you played an old version of the game , since you said there was just the church stage and no boss battle
the game doesn't look choppy in videos at all.

Like many movies based on the Dragon Ball series, this movie is difficult to place within the main series' timeline.

When Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan 3, he says he has never been pushed to transform into that form before except during the fight with Majin Buu. Fat Buu is not seen anywhere, but if Kid Buu has been defeated, then both Goku and Vegeta should be alive again. This suggests that the Majin Buu Saga happens within this film's background.

In the video game Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury, the events of this movie happen after Fortuneteller Baba takes the dead Goku back to the Other World (episode 248) and after Mr. Satan meets Majin Buu (episode 252). This is even though Goku is not seen returning to Grand Kai's planet in the manga/anime after Baba brought him back to the Other World, instead being at the Sacred World of the Kais either helping Gohan with his Z Sword training or watching the battle on Earth in a Crystal Ball while Old Kai was unlocking Gohan's hidden abilities.

This, with the ability of Goten and Trunks to fuse as Super Saiyans, suggest that Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn was going on during or after episode 253, where Goten and Trunks successfully use the Fusion technique as Super Saiyans for the first time. Additionally, Mr. Satan is not at Majin Buu's house in the movie, which is consistent with the fact that he left the Majin's house in episode 253 to get dog food for Bee. As shown on Videl's watch, the movie took place on a Saturday, the 16th (9 days after the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, which took place on May 7 of Age 774).

Yes movies are predictable.

If you read carefully, nobody said the movies OMG RULEZ. They just don't suck shit. Are you acting like anybody who doesn't agree that they suck must think they rule and is a fanboy ?

Movie Plot of this movie

New Villain pops out of no where from another planet -> Goku gets beat up till he transforms -> Kill the Villain till he's dead -> Vegeta VS Goku moment or some crap

I dunno, I'm not really excited, it's good they're still caring about DBZ but meh, kinda getting old now...unless they bring back Raditz

And Cooler's Revenge.

Wait what am I talking about, only Bio-Broly sucked shit. You're just saying generic reasons you hate Dragonball Z period.
