I played some Soul Calibur III with my friend earlier. It was my second time playing this game. I use to play a lot of Soul Calibur II on my Gamecube years back, so playing SCIII on the PS2 wasn't terribly different.

I noticed there were some new characters, but I didn't get to try them out today. Instead, I played with characters that I was familiar with from the previous game. I tried out Siegfried first, since I was told he plays like Soul Calibur II's Nightmare. I played a few matches with my friend Anthony, and Siegfried's moves were indeed similar to that of the old Nightmare. It felt like I had to relearn all the moves again and get use to the PS2 controller. But overall, the game seems to be easy to pick up for new and old players alike. After a few matches, I got use to the controls, and our matches became more even. Against Mitsurugi, our matches were pretty close. I'd win some, lose some. With Maxi...Maxi is annoying so I made sure to give him a good beating. In our last matches, my friend switched to Zasalamel and got revenge for poor old Maxi.

Even though I probably recieved a beating most of the time, I had fun. I usually have fun with friends when I play Soul Calibur. Whether I win or lose, I'm satisfied that I have at least annoyed someone with Siegfried/Nightmare. Next time I play, I want to try out the story mode and see if its similar to Soul Calibur II's story mode.

Maxi owes YOUR Siegfried a beating ; ; lol. I wanna get better with Zaslamel for some reason though. Big weapons characters never really appealed to me but Zaslamels stance and sytche are just awesome lol.

The story seems very interesting for each character and they all have a cinematic ending in Tale of Souls, compared to the previous game. What's even cooler I think is Chronicles of the Sword. Ill let you borrow mine for awhile if you want to try it out sometime haha.

Anywho, I await a match from you in the future ^^. I hope you enjoy it more if you decide to play it a little more.
