Seeing how Soul Calibur IV comes out on Tuesday I figured it's time to get some things off my chest regarding the game. Firstly...

This makes sense. An undead pirate fighting a Frenchman in what I'm assuming a 16th or 18th century setting. Where as this...

DOESN'T! To this day I don't understand it. How can someone from like a million years into the future fight somebody with primitive weapons and still be a fair fight. Ontop of that Mr.Starkiller(guy on the right from Star Wars: Force Unleashed) as well as Yoda and Darth Vader all have Force powers to boot. It should be noted that they three do have a Force bar that drains with the use of each move and eventually their health bar drains after excessive use of Force powers.

I guess my biggest problem is that the inclusion of Star Wars characters in the Soul Calibur universe seems very out of place and it looks like Namco Bandai is jumping the shark. As far as I know time travel has never been a theme or mentioned in any piece of Star Wars canon or fiction. I'm not a super huge Star Wars nerd but I do have very fond memories of the movies and Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefront games. I also have very fond memories of Soul Calibur II on the Gamecube and I guess I'm worried about the balance of IV.

Despite my complaints I did put down a deposit on the game and will pick it up on day 1 and the best part is if I don't like it or whatever I can return it within a week to EB games and get a full refund which is pretty nice.
