Soulcalibur III Review
Soulcalibur III - 8.5
The extremely well-done series is back, and it's got even more random crap packed inside. You might ask, What the hell? Well, I'll explain it here.
Graphics - 9.2
The graphics are one of the first things you'll notice. Right off the bat, you have to give Namco credit for the water. It looks photo-realistic, and you'll find yourself staring at the water, and not caring about the match. The characters are also well done. From the boobs jiggling almost as much as the DOA chicks', to the weapons, to the special effects, everything is perfect. The only con is an occasional framerate slowdown.
Sound - 7.8
One of the worst things ever that can take it's toll in a video game is bad voice-overs. This game has a lot of these. Some are okay, but most just make you wanna take Soul Edge and shove it up your character's ass (or something else, if your character is a girl). The greatest thing about this game in the sound department is the music. Great scores and amazing sound effects save the game from Sound Hell.
Gameplay - 8.7
As always the fighting is intense, and long-time fans of the series will find that it's harder this time around. There are plenty of characters, and a character creation mode where you can create your own personal whore. There are more modes this time, some which just seem pointless. Chronicles of the Sword tries to take a crack at mixing genres (strategy and fighting), and it turns out as a sad result. All in all, it's oldschool Soulcalibur at it's best.
In conclusion, pick this game up. Multiplayer is a blast, and online is great. Just like the last two, the third in the series is amazing. Buy it. Now.
