Its a simple version of soul calibur 4 with two new characters who are pretty fun, I wasn't impressed with the graphics though and was disappointed with the lack of features and unlockables.

This game is truly amazing, I've been playing it non stop since i bought it, the game play is really deep but easy enough for anyone to pick it up without much trouble, the game cube version is definitely the best of all 3, it holds link as a playable character, which is truly a wonderful addition to the fighters roster not only as a fan service but also because it really has some great moves, so if you haven't played it yet but always have been intrigued by it or even if you don't know much about it but enjoy fighters, this game is for you, one of the best and more balanced fighting games on any console and on any generation, simply ���buy it!

A lot of people complain about female characters in these fighting games being hyper-sexualized. I have a different complaint. How come in all these fighting games, the characters' fighting capabilities are always ridiculously skewed in the female characters' favor? Am I the only guy who has noticed that all of the big, giant, cool-looking, male characters are always painfully slow - as compared to many of the female characters, who are able to zip around the screen, make lighting-fast moves, block any attack, and hit through anyone else's block?!

I'm playing Soul Calibur 3. My character is a 7-foot tall, 300-pound barbarian who looks like a bodybuilder, wearing a helmet with horns on it, armor body plating, and he's swinging a giant bladed mace as big as a streetlamp. I'm using this weapon to repeatedly bash away at my opponent, who looks like a 90-pound fashion model wearing nothing but a silk robe that is about to fall off, and her weapon is a little sword that looks like a toothpick.

About two out of every three swings my big brute takes at her, he clumsily misses or she dodges. Which gives her time to fly around and give my guy about forty zaps with her toothpick. When I actually do hit her, she either blocks my giant mace with her toothpick, or only receives a minor bit of damage that makes a tiny dent in her health meter. Either way, she is able to instantly recover and get in another ten toothpick jabs at me. And somehow each of her little toothpick jabs is able to knock my health meter down a good inch or two. And for some reason my block button offers no resistance to her attacks. It looks like Kate Moss beating the hell out of the Terminator. It's ridiculous.

I know it ain't just me, cause I play plenty of video games and I'm normally pretty good. And I have enough experience with different video games to feel, and recognize, the difference between a game that I'm just not good at - and a game with weird settings. This appears to be a case of the latter.

The only thing I can figure is that the game designers set it up this way to give an advantage to their little sisters, who aren't as avid players and will most likely choose the pretty, dainty female characters. But it's a drag for us guy players who just get in the mood to play a couple rounds of a cool fighting game, to have fun beating the hell out of opponents, every now and then. It deters you from playing the big, cool, tough-looking barbarian guys, cause you don't feel like wasting your time watching them get slaughtered by an anorexic fashion model over and over again.

Oh yes, and here is the other bonus - Soul Calibur 3 offers no Difficulty Setting. You don't even have the option of swallowing your pride and switching the Difficulty Level to "Easy".

I am all for fantasy, but, seriously - Somebody please make a fighting game like this where the characters' physical prowess is at least a LITTLE BIT based on what they look like, and what similar human specimens would be capable of in reality. Gee Whiz.

On a positive note, let me add that I am a longtime fan of Soul Calibur 2, and I have to say Soul Calibur 3 is a lot like 2 except more of the same. A lot of the new characters are cool and the new costumes on returning old characters look good. The graphics are nice.
