Star wars is like salt, stop putting it on everything.

User Rating: 8 | SoulCalibur IV PS3
This game is great and worth getting, but only at a bargain. I really wish that I had liked the star wars characters I do, but they just made the game a tad more shallow and soulcalibur being one of the few fighting games nowadays that doesn't have shallow fighting is the main reasons I get the series. The fact that darth vader can ring you out in the amount of time in takes to use a throw, makes you constantly worried about moving him to the edge with a barrage of attacks. The apprentice needs his own game for a reason, he's a god of the force which makes any noob who knows how to input a basic command, able to spam lightning. The force gauge does not stop him from owning you. Anyways, my general ratings for this game are below.

graphics-8.5
The reason for this is because it's on the ps3, any game on the ps3 needs stunning graphics that make backgrounds look like a movie or real ocean, sky, etc.

sound-7.5
nothing special in my mind, not much explanation to this, but hey the music isn't much either.

gameplay-8
Yeah its good, the changes they have made to some of the characters have made some of the a little to easy to use. The main reason I call this game innovative is they added a ton of new customizable abilities and such to the game, but only being able to use character weapons tones it down a lot. The abilities are really cool, but the fact that they are the only thing to get leveled up kinda sucks.
