The battle for the Soul Continues! June 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Namco has done again with their latest incarnation of the Soulcalibur franchise. Classic and new fighters (four) clash in battle to claim the two legendary swords. Select your fighter and continue in an epic quest in "Tales of Souls" or enjoy the new real-time strategy of "Chronicles of the Sword." Featuring new battle stages and music, Soulcalibur delivers hours of entertainment with a new character creation mode as well as many other modes that the series in known for. A blast to play with friends,
it's like having the arcade in your home. Four stars out of five.
A Legend ... June 1, 2007

Stunning graphics, great characters, interesting weapons and an easy-to-master fighting system make this Soul Calibur the best of the bunch so far. And let's not forget the incredibly deep create a fighter feature.
If you've played the other games in this series, you know what to expect (Voldo). You know the fighting is based around weapons, and there is an intriguing back story for all the fighters. A lot of care was put into the creation of this game and it shows. If you've never played any of the games in this series, this is an excellent place to start. You need not have played the other games to appreciate the characters here, and the controls take but a second to learn. It's what a fighting game should be ... and more.
 Extremely Satisfied April 4, 2007

Due to the fact that I got an excellent deal on this game unlike buying it at a retail store for full price I feel that I have been greatly blessed by my purchase & for finding this game for such a low price I cannot believe it. I recommend to all by this game you will never be disappointed...
Overall, a very fun game March 8, 2007

This game is great. It is a bit difficult to master and discover all of the attacks, but the characters are cool, and the game even alows you to design your own custom fighter, not to mention there are a couple of diffrent modes to play in. Overall, a very fun game.
I wanted to like this as much as its predecessor February 14, 2007

Soul Calibur III is the fourth entry in the "Soul" series by Namco and is without a doubt the most ambitious of the three. The third game adds all new characters, and modifies all of the returning ones. There are new modes, different shops where you can buy items, armor and weapons. Heck you can even build your character (to look like KOS-MOS from the Xenosaga series if you want).
Though there are a lot of new additions, many of these feel tacked on. The Soul Arena mode feels rushed, and I don't even want to get started on the Chronicles of the Sword mode. The new characters also feel rushed. Some of them are interesting, but a few are just...well cheesy. Still the more the merrier... I suppose I would rather have them there and be cheesy than not have them there at all.
The fighting gameplay has also significantly changed. Is hard to describe exactly how it has changed, but it just feels different. And I think that is my main gripe with this game. Though certain modes feel tacked on.. you don't really have to play them, and though certain characters basically stink...you don't have to play as them. But the fighting gameplay from the second has been altered in a bizarre way.
If you've played the second game and you think you can just waltz in here and pick up your old characters where you left off...forget it. You're going to have to learn new moves, and learn the same moves over again(because they have been reassigned to different buttons). The overall timing has also completely changed on every single character.
Though that is a bit of an annoyance, once you start to learn the nuances of the game, you're going to enjoy it. It just seems bizarre to change so much of what was good about the last game, and experiment on this game. My hope is that this experimentation will go towards Soul Calibur IV, which i expect to be nothing short of an opus.
Anyway, the game can be a bit of a chore at some times, but if you're a fan of the series you won't want to miss this. And if you're a fan of fighting games, you'll probably enjoy this as well. And at this price, you're not really taking much of a risk. I recommend this game to everyone, just don't expect a masterpiece.
