Yes. It's definitely worth the new price. It's not a -great- game, though. There are some irritating things about it. Cheap junk and AI issues that make the experience a little random at times, but it's a good experience overall.
It looks good enough, the music is good, the story is passable and the system is unique and fun. It almost feels like you're playing a rhythm game sometimes and it's easy to get caught up in the combo system.
When I saw previews, I thought "this looks too flashy, it must not be fun to play", but the exact opposite is true. The gameplay is tied into the visuals very well, and there's no "waiting around and watching fancy effects".
Hmmm...now I want to go back and play the game again, though I have a feeling I'll just get irritated with the enemies blocking so much. I mean, they'll block, like...100 blows in a row. NORMAL ENEMIES. And then you have a move that calls your buddies over to hit the enemy (usually from behind) and it STILL blocks. It's like that move was designed to counter their blocking and it doesn't work. If it wasn't for that, I think I would like the game a lot more.

Well, th FMV in OZ is mostly trippy visual insanity, and most of the dialogue in the game is written, not voice-acted. Well, I say "most", but it's not by a huge margin.
Anyway, a bad dub would still be VERY irritating, because sound is a key aspect of the game, since the characters call out to each other to clue you in when to attack.
