Soul Calibur III

Product description:

SoulCalibur III is a 3D fighting game developed by Project Soul and published by Namco, exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The game is the third main installment in the popular SoulCalibur series and builds on its predecessors with improved gameplay, an expanded storyline, and new characters. SoulCalibur III is known for its in-depth weapon-based combat system, stylish presentation, and unique characters with their own weapons and fighting styles. In addition to the classic versus and arcade modes, the game introduces new modes such as “Chronicles of the Sword” and an extensive character creation.

3 interesting facts:

1. First in the series with character creation: SoulCalibur III introduced the ability to create your own fighter for the first time. Players could choose from different races, fighting styles, clothing, and weapons, allowing for a lot of creative freedom.
2. Chronicles of the Sword mode: This unique single-player mode combines real-time strategy with traditional battles. You move units on a map and participate in battles to capture objectives, which deviates from the standard fighting game structure.
3. Exclusive characters and fighting styles: Unlike SoulCalibur II, which featured guest characters per platform, SoulCalibur III focused entirely on an extensive original cast, including new fighters such as Tira, Setsuka, and Zasalamel – each with completely new weapons and techniques.
