Q:
A: Uh, DUH, Soul Calibur IV is only for the freaking stupid XBox360 and PS3... but so what if it's for those systems... there's still other excellent Soul Calibur games to play. You've got the classic Soul Calibur for the DreamCast (only if you have a DreamCast or still have one, if it's entirely possible)! Even the classic Soul Calibur 2 for previous consoles like the GameCube, PS2, and if I recall the origonal XBox. Even Soul Calibur 3 for the PS2; which I don't know is just as good; but come on now... Soul Calibur 2 for the Cube is the best and obvious choice on an excellently awesome game... and it has Nintendo's Legend of Zelda character Link! He's my favorite! :D As for Soul Calibur Legends; of course it's a big change and is an action adventure game... now on to why you should just give Soul Calibur Legends A FREAKING CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! First off, MOST IMPRTANTLY, (I repeat) DON'T LISTEN to anybody who puts down or says they hate the game; or reviews for that matter! Secondly Most Important (I repeat); anyone wiht half of a brain knows it's a good game if you're a long time Soul Calibur Fan! Trust me, I hate game sites and reviews, and ignorant people who think some games are horrible! Everything is good in it's own way! People are just down right idiots some times! I'm a long time Soul Calibur fan and enjoy the series a whole bunch! I've loved the series when playing SC2 in the arcade, and having SC2 for the Cube! Like I said, Link is my favorite character in the game! But my long time favorite SC characters are Sigfried/Nightmare, Taki, Sophita, Ivy, & Mitsirugi; also Yunsung, Maxi, and Talim! Even Cervantas is my favorite villain; reminds me of a version of Captain Barbosa from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies!! :D Soul Calibur Legends is big on story if you can get into the game, and you'd be surprised with the story as it unfolds down to the end of the game and realize the true evil villain/mastermind... because Barbaros is not actually the main villain. I won't spoil anything else for you; if you have the game or not... but you'll love the game if you love the series! :D Game play: it's your usual and best hack and slash/adventure game; and is Soul Calibur in every way! It's just plain fun slashing vertical and horizonal with the Wii Remote to unleash sword attacks on enemies! Even the camera won't bug you if you not too backed into a corner; I think people are dumb for just saying that! Sound: It's got the best music for a Soul Calibur game, and if you enjoy its music! Graphics: People claim they hate it because of the blocky characters and poor quality backgrounds! I say you're just wrong and plain idiots! It's a beautiful game and the developers did an outstanding job! It's not SC2, but looks just as good as any other SC game in the series! Difficulty: Some times it'll get hard and you have to think strategy; even when dying multiple times! Even some missions can be a pain in the butt! Even you're hands will tire and get sore! I play 1-3 hours a day, and I'm fine! Replay value: I've played it in January, after getting it for Christmas 2007, and beat it in a week! Yet I've gotten bored once this past month of August and replayed it a full 2nd time; just for the fun of it and reliving the awesomeness of this game I love so much! It's not too much on replay; if you first beat it and put it back on your shelf! But if you want it's got 2 player co-op so you can do missions, or fight each other in a off/different SC2 style! Or you could go all out; play several days if you wish and reach the higest ranking level; get all the weapons for every character! My score is a 9/10.
