1 stars "Crazy"

I won this game at tourney, playing ssbm, for the GC. (silly really =P) afterwards, we tried it out at a mates, he was raving a bout it (we didnt really want to play, but we gave in.)

I beat him by LITERALLY chewing the controller.

Just another way to prove that this is a button masher.

5 stars "One of the best fighting game"

This game is an absolute gem. The graphic is awesome, the fighting is smooth. There are loads of extras (bonus characters, artworks, demonstration, weapons…) to unlock. The fighting system has been tweaked and improved a bit. This means that some moves will not be the same as the previous game. However, it doesn’t take long to get used to the game. Also, Create a Soul mode let you create your own characters, choose their weapons (which will be different from the main characters) and use them in a selections of game modes.

The only flaw in this game is the bad voice acting for some characters. But that doesn’t matter because you can change the voice from English to Japanese XD. SC3 isn’t slower than SC2, the graphic on SC3 is better than on SC2, and there is no XBOX version of this game. The movelist has been improved, NOT HALVED!!!

So, if you loved SC1 &SC2 and you haven’t got this game, you’re stupid. If you’re new to the series, give it a try, I guarantee you will love this game.

1 stars "Why, dear God, why?"

I'm hoping that it's some kind of elaborate practical joke, and that they're actually going to ship me the real game next week, and laugh at me.

If not, well, if you loved Soul Calibur I & II, do yourself a favour, and stab yourself in the eyeball rather than play this.

It's slower, the graphics are worse (than the xbox version), and the movelists have been halved.

I'm absolutely gutted.
