Don't expect a fighting game!

This game is pretty good if you don't start playing expecting the complex fighting game that the previous game is. It is more of a a hack and slash adventure game. Your characters will have different moves they can pull off, and I found it to be satisfying how it delivers the moves based on the way you move the remote and nunchuk.
The story is pretty good, and the fighting is overall fun. I would rather had cut scenes in stead of text between rounds of the adventure, but maybe that is a limitation of the Wii. Not sure.
Things I didn't like: Not all of the characters from Soul Calibur are included. You have 8 playable characters and Yoshimitsu isn't one of them! Neither is Maxi (although I liked Li Long better anyway, not that he is on here). The main character is Siegfreid (LAME, IMO) At least there is Mitsurugi and Taki!
Another thing is the option to have the dialog in Japanese isn't included as was on other SC games. It sounds cooler when they say lame things in Japanese than in English! LOL
On a positive note there are alot of weapons to aquire (though not as many as in SC 2 or 3), and you can boost the characters abilities by using the ones you want to. You pick two for most missions, but some are for only one certain character.
I haven't decided whether or not to buy this game yet, but I am having fun playing it.
