Soul Calibur III is a great fighter to behold.
The ability to buy new clothes for your character is cool but it's kinda of stupid that you can't see what you buy until you actually buy it, and you don't know that if what your buying is for male or female. Furthermore I haven't really figured out how to change the weapons of my creator character, and whenever I finish a battle with said created character it's usually the same line over and over which is something that they could of improved. When I played the storylines of each original character (Nightmare, Kilik, Maxi, etc.) all the stories kind of ran together, which is expected, but some storylines are almost exactly alike and the reuse of lines was kind of a downer.
Overall, if you enjoy a good fighter, then this game is for you. Especially if you're a fan of the Soul Calibur series then I suggest you pick up this game ASAP.
