When you get down to it, Soulcalibur III is a decent fighter. Great graphics and if you play with a friend, its awesome.
The characters are neat and you sometimes get very addicted to it, for some reason. The Characters include a broadsword-weilding knight called Sigfried, A young warrior with a wooden staff named Kilik, an odd Reaper-like creature with a scythe called Sasalamel, an awesome, hissing fiend with spiked metal gloves name Voldo, a saber-weilding female warrior called Ivy, a huge, black....thing with a gigantic red sword named nightmare, and his underdressed, hot servant who carries an odd spiked hoola hoop.
Really a fun game, a must-have if you have a PS2 and a friend to play it with.
