I'm still really, REALLY unsure about this game. I don't know if I'll even hype it an A-score, but GS's preview seems positive about the game, even if all of the descriptions were about the gameplay mechanics rather than how much fun he had.

It looks nice, and it looks like it plays nice, but it seems so...life-less.

It looks like your typical button mashing (stick waggling?) hack and slash, not bad, but not great either.

Picking up bad vibes from the singleplayer part.
Repetitive enemies throughout chapters (boring), completely linear (forgivable), movements not suited for the obstacles and unavoidable deathtraps (frustrating), trippy difficulty level.
I'm sure co-op is fun, and especially multiplay.
The controls sounded pretty good for the fighting part.
I'm not expecting that much from the singleplay anymore though... if You think differently, share.

I own a wii and am a fan of SC series, however this game looks like trash. wii waggling, repetitive hours of killing enemies with half decent boss. I'll probably pick sc 4 instead of this. Namco needs to try harder.

Even Red Steel and Lair had positive previews.

Wow, that preview must've been like what 50x better than the SSBB one.

Soul Calibur Legends > SSBB am confirmed (well, on GS that is).

Well, they didn't really say much negative... Sounds like it could have some appeal.

No, it doesn't sound positive. I feel like they were holding back on the negativity.

Soul Calibur Legends will be a decent game. I suggest waiting til it drops in price before picking it up though ;).

Previews are always positive.

Wait untill the review comes and they'll bash it to pieces.

Heavenly Sword got an 8 and that game seems to be infinitely better than this one will be. At the same time I never had high hopes for SC: Legends simply because Namco's last attempt at a spin-off to one of their top fighting game franchises, Death By Degrees, was a total joke.

I am pretty certain this game will be extremely underwhelming, it looks so drab, mindless and cheap.

It is not a fighting game... shows the extent of your knowledge.

The equation should read: A half-assed cash-in + wiimote= Flop, entirely the fault of a greedy Namco.
