    This game was amazing. it was the first one I could find where the wii controllers actually worked. When you swing left, the guy swings left. When you swing right, h swings right. Whoever is putting out reviews that gave this game a 14 can just go screw a goat. seriously.

    Good game let down by only a coupe of flaws, it's still good solid fun.

    I love this game. I recently got a secondhand Wii. It has 40 odd games and some classics like Mario Galaxy etc.. But which game do I like to play most? This one. Soul Calibur has easy to pick up and responsive controls- the onscreen sword responds very well to the wii remote and num chuck.

    The graphics are good, I found the story quite lightweight but entertaining. It is a good workout    I love this game. I recently got a secondhand Wii.

    The graphics are good, I found the story quite lightweight but entertaining. It is a good workout to play- I finish after a 20 minute session with a light sweat from swinging the remote about so much.

    As a 32 year old gamer I have played a lot of serious PC games and have lately come to appreciate the casual fun that a fun sword swinging game like this offers.

    I would give it 8 but seeing as how this game has so many miserable ratings I am upping it to 10 to push the meta up a bit. Enjoy!    … Expand

    What the hell is this!? This is just some poor cheap spin-off that is nothing to the series. God damn it, Namco, We want Soul Calibur IV on the Wii, not a stupid spin-off game!

    Very repetitive, doesn't take too long to become boring.

    I thought this game was very dull at first glance but as I kept playing more and more I started to like it. I thought the graphics were not so special but the game play is clearly geared for experts and not for noobies. The controls don't automatically let you hit your enemy like in the older versions of this game. In this game you must really get a feel for each character type and I thought this game was very dull at first glance but as I kept playing more and more I started to like it.

I find it sad that people flame this game when it just came out, I know they haven't played it more then 10 minutes.… Expand

    Soulcalibur Legends is a generic, repetitive and unspectacular hack-n-slash spin off to the popular Namco 1 on 1 seventeenth century fighting series. Graphics are comparable to mid PS2 era but the frame rate does maintain a refreshing 60FPS making the game very smooth to play.

Graphics are comparable to mid PS2 era but the frame rate does maintain a refreshing 60FPS making the game very smooth to play. Soulcalibur Legends can be compared to various other Japanese fighting games which require you to kill hordes of enemies and not much else such as Dynasty Warriors and Ninja Gaiden. Combat is actually quite satisfying actually but are you prepared to maintain that satisfaction throughout 40 levels? It's an interesting departure from the usual shenanigans seen in the series but it really is not worth your time.

    I secretly DO like this game but I'm writing this review for a general gamer and I can honestly say that the game's repetition will not bode well with them.    … Expand

    This is not the best game in the world, but for sure is not as bad as people make it out to be. Soulcalibur Legends is no different from the very successful series Dynasty Warriors, the only problem Legends has is the often unresponsive motion controls and horrible camera; but one can get used to that easily once one learns how the game tends to read the controls.

The story itself and characters aren't half bad, and offer something fresh to Soulcalibur in general. This isn't a bad game, I've played way worse. Everybody is just overreacting.… Expand

    Es muy difícil acordarse de un juego que jugaste hace 13 años, pero tengo buen recuerdo, buen hack and slash mezclado con aventuras. Como spin-off, era interesante cuánto menos.

    Soulcalibur Legends is a trap, luring in gullible gamers with the promise of two-player co-op and a cast of characters from the series. Once you take the bait, the whole rusty contraption snaps shut – and you will carry the scars of playing it for the rest of your life.

    The main problem here is that it feels like Legends should have been a side mode in a proper Soulcalibur rather than its own game. There are some good ideas, but it doesn't feel like a complete game.

    There's certainly potential here, albeit squandered (in my opinion) on the Wii where like so many of its games, the hook--waving the Wiimote--is more curse than cool. [Dec 2007, p.81]
