This thread has been linked to the game 'Soul Calibur'.
After a fairly long wait I can't say I am all that impressed. The fight engine is sweet and some of the characters look pretty sweet but I am not blown away like I thought I would be. Maybe after playing Dead or Alive 3 my standards have suddenly raised, or maybe its just not my thing anymore.
I have recently stopped playing games like I used to and apart from Skies of Arcadia I haven't played on my Cube or Xbox for weeks.
I am going through the mission mode with 'Maxx' at the moment and I am already a little bored of doing the same moves over and over. I have clocked in excess of 100 hours on Dead or Alive 3 in the Survival mode and I think its put me off fighting games for life :) I used to get quite a thrill from playing fighting games but now I just seem to do one battle and turn them off because the repetitive nature has already started to annoy me.
I will continue to play it further as from what I have read it is supposed to be the best fighting game ever. I couldn't believe the fact that Gamespot had given a perfect 10! Normally they mark half decent games in the 6-7/10 region. There must be something here worth playing for and I guess posting on here isn't going to help me find the game hidden within.
Back I go for another blast...

I have SC II Cube.
It's like DOA3 but better.
It does have less moves though.

Buffy might be a nice change if you're bored of traditional fighters.
I will get Soul Calibur 2 but the only real one I am interested in this year is Dead or Alive Code Cronus which I know will be fantastic.
I have completed Buffy and I enjoyed it. Not sure if I would purchase it though because I can't see there being replay value.

Buffy 2 soon. :)
I didn't like Buffy that much. It was alright, but not great.
I got it on the 2 for 26 quid thing at HMV. I get a lot of my average games like that which is why I'm so pleased with the little blighters. :)
