Soul Calibur IV - PS3

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Doesn't live up to expectations
Tight controls Terrible multiplayer
The Fourth didn't beat the Third

I'm not much of a fighting games junkie, but I do love to play them on the arcade or with friends online,
when SC IV came up at my loval VG shop I immediately though of the greatness that was the third chapter of the story and the chance to play online, instant buy!
Sadly it did not live up to my expectations, the graphics are astounding but the lack of the RTS minigame from the third was a letdown...also even with the lots of new characters there are still so much clones.
Not even mentioning the netcode, at the release it was bugy and lagged as hell, and became a bit better with time, but still it forced users to use just a and handful of characters since they were the most easy to manage with a laggy online componenet...I'm sure that a SC V will fix this and many other things.
