SoulCalibur Legends

Beating on enemies in a fairly repetitive manner doesn't seem to bother my 8 year old daughter; it does, however, bother her dad.

Having mastered Soul Blade on the PSX and greatly disliked the Soul Calibur 2 & 3 "timed button presses" change, I was looking forward to Legends, with fond memories of Soul Blade's RPG-lite mode.

That was not brought through here.

The story takes an alternate route, and while the visuals are good, the voice acting and lines are better left to children's TV shows.

There are some really good games coming out now (and already out, such as Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 with 32 multiplayer support, Super Mario: Galaxies, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles) and some weird ones that just work (Ghost Squad, 4 player gun game for $30). It's better time and money spent than this game.
