 Painful to Play July 26, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Throwing in a control scheme just for the sake of making use of the Wii's motion sensing controller doesn't add anything to the gameplay. It just feels like a mediocre 3-D platformer that got made more complicated to play than it really should have been. The same goes for all the rest of the Wii and DS games where the controls were thrown in to make use of a gimmick.
 Not all that July 25, 2008
You would think for a wii you would have some awsome sword slashing in one on one combat but its not like that at all. Any type of versus is in RPG enviornment so the best part of Soul Calibur is gone. Save your money and buy Soul Calibur 4 instead!!!
 SC Legends- just have fun with it! July 10, 2008
This game is a Wii exclusive title that is quite a departure from all the other SoulCalibur titles. This game is an adventure style game following the chronicles of Siegfried and several other -original SC characters new and old. This takes place in the 16th century and follows the exploits of your character and other souls engaged in advanture and fights for the ultimate sword with the ultimate power.
You use your wii-mote and nunchuck to manuver and master scores of moves for each character and guide them through highly detailed enviroment full of many pitfalls and enemies vying for or guarding what you seek. It allows you to see new depths of the SC storyline and universe, and provides tons of background and details for each fighter's quest and the stories that have lead them up to this point. It's a pretty nice departure from the regular fighting games that made the series famous, and was quite enjoyable.
It added a bunch of new features including:
-Wii exclusive: Designed specifically for the Wii, use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to master your character's suite of attacks in order to unify the pieces of Soul Edge
-Choose your allies wisely: Switch between the various characters encountered throughout your adventures to give you more versatility in every situation
-Classic Soulcalibur roster: Play and level up as your favorite Soulcalibur characters as you follow their path within history and level up through ranking system
-New enemies and bosses: Sword fighting capabilities are pushed to the limit as you encounter a lineup of new enemies and large scale bosses
-Weapon progression: Weapons evolve with your experience, giving you added control and more powerful attacks
-Spirit Break: Unleash your character's special Spirit Break attacks to crush your enemies with amazing effects
-Quest mode: Play in 12 different environments as the beautiful landscapes serve as your battlefield in 40 quests
-Multiplayer modes: Test your skills with or against a friend in various game modes
-Competitive: Compete for the highest body count as you defeat the fearsome enemies
-Versus: Fight against your friend to determine the true Wii weapon master
Overall, for a Wii game, I found it terribly enjoyable. I am a die hard fan of the series and of course judge it with bias, but it still holds true as a fun game and educational for those wishing to learn all the intracasies of the SoulCaliur universe and it's history. I'm sure we will be seeing quite a few easter eggs from this in SC4.
Have fun with it!
Not as bad as they say! June 14, 2008
I was very wary of this game because of all the bad reviews. My Brother in Law, however, is a very big fan of the Soulcaliber series, so he rented it to try. It was a lot of fun and I'm not even a big gamer.
He liked the way it controlled and even the rest of the game play. If you have your Wii set up properly you should have no problems with it reading your moves.
The biggest thing is that the levels are very narrow and there isn't much wandering to do. Is this game worth $50, heavens no. But for $14-20 it is definitely worth it. Consider that you can rent for $8, or buy for $15. If you don't like it, sell it and get your money back.
Also, today is the first time my BiL has ever used a Wii and he got used to the control of the game with no problems, so I think anyone should be ok. The people who rated this lower than 3 stars have very high expectations for such a cheap game.

It's not at all like the fighting games Soul Caliber was. It's like a story based RPG but when you actually FIND the two-player its in the same settings! Split screen, disorienting, not fun.
The controls are ok with the WiiMote but the game itself feels rushed, unpolished, gritty. I wish I would have rented it before I bought it.
