The long-awaited third installment of what?s considered to be the cr?me de la cr?me of weapons-based fighting games will finally arrive stateside this August. While series veterans like Xiangchua and Taki are back for more, Soul Calibur 2 also showcases three new brawlers?one exclusive to each console. Xbox acolytes can don the mask and battleaxe of Todd McFarlane's anti-hero Spawn; PS2 owners can play as the bare-fisted Heihachi from the Tekken series; and GameCube fans can fight as a sword-wielding Link. A brand-new character designed by Todd McFarlane Productions called Necrid will also debut to take on all comers. Along with the de facto Versus, Time Attack, Team Battle, and Survival modes, Soul Calibur 2 also offers an all-new RPG-influenced Weapon Master mode in which characters can collect and equip up to 200 strange, deadly, or just plain weird weapons by completing various missions.
