Matt Leone of 1UP writes in his review:
"The main problem here is that it feels like Legends should have been a side mode in a proper Soulcalibur rather than its own game. There are some good ideas, but it doesn't feel like a complete game. You can count the multiplayer stages as extras that fill out the package, but they're pretty awful and tend to show that the combat works better against groups of dumb enemies than it does against one smart one. I can appreciate the approach to create an action-RPG rather than an action game, but it's difficult not to wonder if it happened in such a simple form because the developers simply didn't have the budget to come up with anything better."
Score: 6/10
An in depth look into the Soul series and their history of guest characters spanning 12 characters, 7 games and 14 years.
Bonus Soul Calibur guest character wallpaper included!
Great read. I can't wait for Ezio Auditore da Firenze to make his appearance in Soul Calibur V. Resquiat en Pace fighters!
Woah.. Kos Mos was in a Soul Calibur title? I never even knew she made any cameos outside of the xenogears series.
An amazing article so much work has gone into this .. this is something that all soul calibur fans should check out
It’s not yet known whether Soul Calibur V will continue the tradition of format-exclusive special characters, but for the purpose of this top ten feature those from previous versions will be excluded. Only those characters which make up part of the core experience will be eligible, even if some of them have oddly appeared in the Tekken series also.
and considering that SC5 is 17 years in the future, the only girls that wont be saggy are talim and amy, everyone else is gonna be old
Top 10...Thats easy, start at the one with the biggest boobs as the number one, and so on.
If Ivy is in this game, her boobs will be hanging a bit lower then we are used to from her tho.
Considering this game is 17 years after the last one.
Glad to see Yoshimitsu at #4. Dude has been a beast in every SC game so far.
Jon Lynch: "Soul Calibur is easily one of the most popular fighting series in gaming and has been since the franchise first debuted as Soul Blade (or Soul Edge) in arcades. There’s no denying that one of the many factors of Soul Calibur that helps bolster the popularity are the female characters. Over the years, the women of Soul Calibur have slowly clawed their way up to the top of gaming to sit alongside the likes of the Dead or Alive women."
Alissa Kiss is the best western cosplayer ever. I still think her Cammy beats this though.
This game sucks balls.
They shouldn't have made this game in the first place if it's indeed 6/10 worthy (Though another review also said its disappointing and a 6.5/10). Soul Calibur games have always earned 8.5s and 9s with original being the 3rd best game of all time but this one will be a dark point in the history of Soul Calibur... Can't wait for Soul Calibur IV.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee game cube 2.1 is upon us.
could be even a bigger flop then game cube was?
it surely looks like it.
I saw this one coming from the previews hah. It looks almost like they were making a stand alone Tekken Force mode with the SC chars instead of Tekken.
Nintendo should be ashamed for allowing the "Since you aren't getting Soulcaliber 4" genre of games that have popped up. It wouldn't be bad at all if the developers actually put some effort into it but...
I considered this game for a a quick bit when I heard that Lloyd Irving from TOS was going to be in it, but with all of the good games released lately draining my entertainment cash, this game probably won't even get a rent from me until next year some time.
