Gamespot Reviews Soulcalibur Legends: Bad

A revered series takes a nosedive in this embarrassing, tedious excuse for an action game.

The Good
* You slash up bad guys using the Wii Remote.

The Bad
* Cheap deaths in lieu of real challenge
* Boring, repetitive combat
* Lame tasks that masquerade as puzzles
* You muddle through the same short, linear, ugly levels over and over
again.

3.5/10

3.5 / 5

Action-oriented games don't work on it? Zelda: TP, MP3, and RE4 must've just been a figment of my imagination then. O, and apparently Mario Galaxy is a "simple" platformer.

Duh midgard.

yeah the 'puzzles' they speak of were pretty lame. The combat is pretty good though with combos and easy of use. Overall scale is poor though. 3.5 is a bit harsh but still should be low none the less.

It's a SC game however so it gets probs just for that.

Action games have a place for the Wii. Yet just like I always say the developers need to actually spend time on a game they make for the Wii. It's not as forgiving to screw up a game on the Wii as it is for PS3/360.

5 - To say this game sucks

Is a huge understatement. Ive owned soul blade, soul caliber 1,2,3 and this is the worst looking/playing one.everything in this whole game looks recycld from soul caliber 2 and a little of 3. Lame. And weak. Im sad Namco.really

A rhetorical question whose foundation can be proven false by doing a little research, or a serious question?

Not it's serious.... lets see what makes up games for the wii (at the moment)

Metroid
Zelda
Mario

and then

a bunch of "swing your remote around to do basic functions, (without great accuracy at that), that make you look silly and in turn gives you the impression of it being fun when your playing with others" that make up the other 80 % of it's library of games

What's going on with Nintendo? It has always been known for the quality of the titles they license. Lately I have seen a lot of Wii titles with really low scores.

It's sad that a great franchise like SoulCalibur is trying to cash in on the crappy Wii game phenomenon.
