Soul Calibur Legends

[Sho_"Rocker"_Daisuke]

okay, so while I'm waiting for the Soul Calibur 4 arival, I'm wondering what you guys think of Namco's latest Soul game Soul Calibur Legends.

A simple sumarry of the game's plot is that you're Siegfried, the one that turned into Nightmare in Soul Calibur 2 and turned back in SC3, is on a quest to search for Soul Edge, so the time point of this seems to be earlier than the first game, if not, during. You meet up and play with other popular characters from the series, such as Mitsurugi, Taki, Sophitia, Ivy, Astaroth, and from Tales of Symphonia, Lloyd Irving (if I'm forgetting a character, please tell me)

I find it takes almost the full potential of the Wii Remote, I just fidn it cool that if you swing left, your character slashes left, swing it up, he slashes up, etc. The story line isn't bad, but it's not the greatest, it's kind of like "find the ultimate power before the giant boss defeats the town" kind of story line. The bosses are chalenging even in co-op, but not completely impossible. And as a game that origanally was a fighting game, it's not a bad conversion.

so just tell me your thoughts on it, and post them here. leave a reason as well, explain why you like and/or don't like it.

I keep hearing that this game is really bad so I kinda just steered cleared of it. Never was much of a Soul Cal fan in the first place, but I'll pick it up once it hits $19.

you probably hear this stuff coming from people who don't like change, it's a pretty reasonable game, I'm not saying you should buy it, but I'd recomend it

It was a good game, though the nunchuck's dodging action didn't always work as it should have.

I'd only recommend it to die-hard SC fans, though.

I noticed that there are certain special combo moves in the game. I neevr could get the hang of how to do them consistently, though Llyod's specials were the easiest. I don't refer to the soul charge; they were special actions that usualy dealt multiple hits and temporary unflinching. They looked different than any of the standard horizontal, vertical, or stabbing moves.
