Soul Calibur III
Soul Calibur III, Well what can I say... It's Good (that's an undersatment) It's Amazing (that's an understatment) It's the best ps2 game (not including wrestling games) I've ever played/experienced. Rapheal is Fantastic with The Queen's Guard Sword!!! 5Stars!!!! (that's an understatment)

Tekken's more attractive sibling
The first difference between this and Tekken is weapons. This was the only difference to beign with but in the end this has come out on top.

Firstly is the amazingly good character creator system which may not be as detailed as other games (Tony Hawk games are quite accurate) it still feels really satisfying to watch your creation slice up classics like Voldo and Mitsurugi. Nice and simple.

The modes here are very varied for those who have time and for those who just want quick relief. For those who really want depth there is the long Chronicles of the Sword mode whic involves basic strategy with the same beat em up power on the real game. It also has a nice little story in it and although the strategy system isn't revolutionary it is enough to keep you entertained. Anoter mode is the Tales of the Souls, which is like the arcade mode but what you choose affects who you fight against; however after you've played it a few times you'll realise that everyone's story is very similar and the only thing seperating them is the ending. The other mode is Arena mode which is basically a random choice of very random modes (fighting a giant statue!?) that are used for quick relief and addictive gameplay which is what they do best.

The characters in this series is literally the entire set. Although there aren't many ? squares in the selection process there is a small area where they've shoved random old characters (does anyone remember Li Long and Hwang?) along with some random other characters. One of the biggest selections so far.

Overall...buy it if you have a craving for a good beat em up. If you don't like it then you don't like beat em ups so that's not my problem; everyone else is welcome though.

Soul Calibur III - It's Awesome
I have never played any soul calibur Games before, I bought this one and was amazed and addicted to it:
It has a really cool Character creation mode were you can buy armor and stuff and create your original character and use them in some modes, you can also choose the weapons and job your character has.
The Graphics are really good, I'm very impressed, this game wasn't rushed like some stuff.
Lots of features to keep you amused for hours.
If the Game has a fault, my friend who had Soul Calibur 2 says the some custom Characters really good moves have been changed. But I don't think this matters too much as the other features on the game make up for this. 9.5/10
