This game is the best soul calibur game ever it has got good character creation and the story aint that bad either

When I bought SC3 for 50$ after putting down 5 bucks to make sure I got it I thought it would be the best game I have ever played. Um,no. It doesnt quite beat cruisin the streets in vice point with 6 wanted stars and tanks following yor around every dang corner. No, but it does alot for me in the ways of pure fighting. The character creation system in innovative and new but it is hard to find the right combination of pieces to make the perfect character. Also, the chronicles of the sword is a dang ripoff as the gameplay is too complicated and is too confined. My advice: if you play it, whenever your unit engages another one, do a real SC battle to actually add some fun to the experience. Besides the sucky RTS gimmick, the tales of souls, soul arena, world tournament, and especially the 2P battles keep me glued to the core fighting. I've had this game for a month or 2 and only really fought with half of the characters thats how many there are. The controls are responsive and easy to master too. When your fighting, it is a continuos pattern of block,impact,hit,throw,impact,guard,hit etc. that actually instead of becoming repetitive gets more fun the more yoy get into it. My conclusion: just get it, its fun and if yoy have a freind to play with thats good at it (i like pwning all my freinds with my ars-kickin custom dude) it becomse even more fun.

Soul Calibur III is a vast improvement over SC2 with a robust character creater and new modes this is a must have there are far more items to collect and unlike SC2 you can't buy all the weapon's some must be unlocked adding a greater replay value. I've unlocked all of the weapons for the custom character and all weapon's for the standard Character except the ancient series(excluding Siegfried's The Ancient) Ive also only just cracked open the chronicals of the sword mode (an real time strategy mode with head to head battles) so I've still got to unlock more weapon disiplines and custom character parts. I've probably spent 30 to 50 hours on this game (since I got this right when it came out) and still have stuff to unlock. The game features three new Characters Tira With her ring blade, Zasalemel with his sythe , and Setuska with her umbrella katana. Also the game features new unlockable characters like Abyss Rock and Olcadan( although the last two may have been in Soul Blade or Soul Calibur I do not know since I've yet to play these) Plus a new cool villian Named Night terror with it's weapon soul edge complete( bad news is NT is not playable). Plus Nightmare and Siegfried are seperate characters I have a few beefs though. I would have liked a weapon gallery like before. Also no team battle. and I would have liked to have had some weapons from the last game like nightmare's soul calibur cevantes' Lethe and Xiangua's Soul calibur Evil. Also I would have liked to beable to edit the body size of the custom characters( although you can edit the main character's color like making Nightmare's armor pink his arm baby blue and his loincloth periwinkle purple. which is what I did for laughs.) Bottom line this is a must own for SC fans If your not a fan this will make you one.
