This game contains everything a good Soul Calibur game should have plus the force!
So for months i have been reading the hate posts because this game has Star Wars characters and that just destroyes the whole thing. This is definatly not the case, if your not into star wars thats fine, dont go star wars characters and you wont ever see them, however if you are sitting around with some mates having some vs action, you will love it when one of them picks Darth Vader and you fight them on a Star Wars level, it is well worth it alot of fun if not then a laugh.
The combos are, a challenge but once you get used to the button combinations it comes pretty natural and after a few days of play you will stop button mashing.
It is a great game for multiplayer, my friends have never played before pick up the controll and win from time to time, this makes for fun multiplayer.
One of the issues i found with the game was "Human Error" it is not so forgiving with this, if you have to click say Square and Triangle at the same time sometimes it would read it as just hitting one button then the other, I overcame this by changing the controlls and binding those two keys to a free button.
