Soul Calibur 2 is i good fighting game. It has little flaws and can be a great time killer. But after the first few weeks of playing it, I started to lose interest. Weapon Master mode seemed great at first but became tedious after the first 10 or 11 missions. Doungions can become agravating, this is because they throw the same character at you in every section, not in all doungions but a select few. Playing under certain circumstances they give you can be difficult to perform especially with certain characters. Placing mines and such on the floor is an "ok" idea if it didn't only affect you and not your opponents. Weapon Master is also very short. Arcade mode is fun the first couple of times to beat, but after youve beaten it 5 times or so it becomes pointless. Soul Calibur however has amazing graphics and music. Overall it is a good rental game but not worth 50 bucks.
