I've played Soulcalibur III for about 3 weeks, and I really started to like the battle system and gameplay potential. I developed an interest in this series, so I wanted to try out Soulcalibur II as well because it was so popular (plus, almost 9/10 people said that it was much, much better than SCIII).

I borrowed my friend's SCII since he does not play it anymore, and after playing through a few characters' stories, I felt that the battles were a LOT easier than SCIII. Really easy. SCIII had much better AI. So in what way really, is SCII better? Is it the multiplayer? Better gameplay (SCIII was more interesting for me)? What else?

But I really never bothered to read the stories in the 'Tale of Souls' mode in SCIII. The characters were way too cliche, and uninteresting. Just got the gist of the stories. SCII didn't have any of those annoying things... so it was a bit more fun that way.

I liked SCIII more. Put out your opinions here.

Has anyone read this?

Well, I'm a sucker for fanservice, so I'm gonna say Soul Calibur II. When it comes to awesome video game characters, Link just can't be beat.

(Though Soul Calibur III came pretty damn close with its awesome create-a-character mode, fun RTS-style spinoff mode and plenty of customization.)

I should add, the unique Ninja fighting style in SCIII was a blast. It wasn't wise to leave it out in SCIV. Sigh.

soulcalibur II is a darker storyline while III has the light backgrounds and sigfreid gone good

well SCII had necrid which was cool, but SCIII had nightmare and siegfreid as seperate characters which was also cool... tie?
