Soul Calibur III, Incase you missed it. Options

[Vitamin D]

For those that don't know, Soul Calibur III has been released. There are a WHOLE lot of features, like create a character and some strange but really fun real time strategy game thingie and of course bunch of stuff to unlock. The new characters are pretty damn cool too (there's Black dude with a scythe mang!), and they also tweaked some of the exisiting characters (yeah.. gotta learn Ivy over again man... DAMN!). So if your soul hasn't burned in a long time, you know what you have to do. and sure, you could rent it, but you KNOW you'll end up buying it anyway haha.

I have to agree with crush, i finally put it down after many hours. Battle system is as smooth and unbelievable as usual, the stages look unreal, and the stories are very cool, complete with interactive movies (ex. RE4) Voice acting for the majority is also really good so far, and in english. (siegfried is the man!) Another gimmick i like, is they have 4 costumes for each main char, the first two are the default costumes, but after that, they have color costumes which allow you to change the colors of the characters.

Wide weapon selection has returned, i think 8 or 9 for each character, and the ever popular ring out hasn't gone anywhere. I think the only gripe i have is the fact that they don't really have a difficulty setting for the story mode, and each story battle is one round. The game is difficult enough, but once you set yourself into a groove and figure out the game, it's not quite as hard after you finish the learning curve. Either way, if your looking for something to keep you busy and you enjoy fighting games, SC3 is certainly one to add to your collection.
