Gotta Love it
Graphics: Good for the genre and just right. Score: 10
Sound: Appropriate, enough said. Score: 10
Story: Lacking, given the hype that surrounded it. With the theme of "What's within your soul?" in all the adds and trailers, it doesn't really come out in the story mode. Rather than text in the beginning, a cinematic would be better. Score: 4
Cotnrols: Apppropriate and easy to get into. My only issue is the ability to launch the ultimate finishers & how hard (at least for me) to launch them. Score: 7
Unlockable/Bonus Characters: Generally these are all right, Yoda and the Secret Apprentice are great. The five you unlock, not counting Algol, are merely clones of main cast characters and don't do much for me. My annoyance with the eight bonus & unlockable characters is that you can't modify their appearance and their weapons only change bonuses & not appearance. Score: 5
Conclusion: Overall SCIV is a good game with tons of replay value as you try to get some of the various achievements, create new characters, and try to earn enough gold to obtain all the weapons and gear.
