Very great fighting game.

I got this game like three days after it came out. It felt the same as soul calibur 2. So it was easy for me to start the game. Most of the characters moves are still the same. I like how they put the tales of souls, which is like a story mode instead of that lame weapon master mode. The only problem with the tales of souls mode is that the characters stories are somewhat similar with each other. Chronicles of the sword is another new mode. Its like a strategy part. I dont really like it. You create your own character who works for some army. I just went up to the 8th level of Chronicles then i stopped.
The character creation mode could have been better. Its still great though. Its just that you dont have the option to change the height and weight of your character.
The character roster is pretty big. Around 30 original characters, then you have many bonus characters and your 10 created characters. Thats a way better roster than Soul Calibur 2.
Soul calibur 3 is still a button masher. I've beaten Tales of Souls with ivy only mashing buttons. Still some of the more experienced Soul calibur players can kick my ass. The AI is sometimes impossible. The AI with setsuka is sometimes freaking impossible to beat.
Graphics wise, this game is great. Only a few problems with rare slowdowns and still no blood. The fighting levels are pretty good and detailed.
Despite the lame voice acting, the sound is great. The stage music is not better than Soul calibur 2's soundtrack, but its still great. I played this game for about 5 hours everyday in two weeks. Its kind of getting boring right now, but its a great game for multiplayer.
