SoulCalibur Legends

"I can't believe all the haters of this game... It's so good, what's wrong with it? (little spoilers)"

Honestly, I've never seen so many haters of a Soul Calibur game, like this one. I myself think it was one of the best Soul Calibur games. In my opinion, it beat Soul Calibur 1 and 3. 2 and 4 are my all time faves, but this game stands a chance to all of the other Soul Calibur games. I just don't see anything wrong with it. Look, you people out there just hate the game because it wasn't what you wanted. It's your choice whether to play the game or not. If you don't like the game when you start it, you have better chances of getting your money back returning it or selling it earlier than later, where you'll get one fourth of what you paid for. Anyway, I'm getting way off topic.

I just love this game. The character issue everyone says isn't really an issue. If you see, it's an Adventure game, which means you have very little characters to play as. Think of it as Zelda Twilght Princess. You only have two beings to play as. Well count yourself lucky on this game, because there are 8 players with very good movesets and combos. I really have nothing to complain about with the characters or the gameplay. The story line is quite good, and the graphics are the bomb. The best I've seen on a Soul Calibur game so far (besides 4). Two player is awesome as well. The difficulty over all on this game in my opinion would be medium/intermediate. Some levels are pretty hard, while others are easy. I really have no complaints. The music is also another thing to be happy about. Very catchy, medival(sp) like. Just the way I want it.

Sure, it may not be like all the other arcade like Soul Calibur games Namco made, but I say it's a good start as making an adventure game out of this series. You can see they just tried and see what it would be like if they made an adventure game. I say they succeeded in every way, and this should have a sequel, if there can be. So if I had to choose between buying or renting, I'd buy it. Definatly buy it. But if you're one of those haters or hear this game is crappy, and you don't have it, then rent it. Try it out, then if it entertains you enough, buy it. If you wanna stay a hater, go ahead. Namco just tried out their taste in adventure with Soul Calibur.
