Established fans of the Soul Calibur series will find more of t...read the complete Soul Calibur III review at Gamer's Hell
Massively addictive gameplay. Intricate move sets, responsive control, and creative characters (all three newcomers are keepers) make SC3 a tough beast to put down, especially once you and your buddies graduate to high-level play....read the complete Soul Calibur III review at Electronic Gaming Monthly
