Almost but not quite as good as it could have been
It was very interesting to know how Nightmare was bore from Siegfried and more into the personalities of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge.
The sontrols were easy to figure out and use, and the battles were just right, some of the boss battles were difficult though, due to some mobility issues with the charecters.
this game isnt as bad as some of the other reviewers have said, just takes an acquired taste to enjoy it.
you may what to rent it first, but if you like SC but always wished for a more solid storyline, you should like this game.
