Soulcalibur Legends

One of the great fighting franchises of all time—Sooooooooooulllcallllliiibbuuuuurrrrrr—gets remade as a third-person action game with Wii-ified controls. The result: A barely tolerable exercise to waggle the Wii remote. The gist of the game can be boiled down to this: go here, kick some ass; go there, kiss more ass. And that's pretty much it. The whole thing seems novel at first—swinging the Wiimote swings Mitsurugi's katana—but once you've dispatched you Foe #41,792, you'll be so bored that you'll be wishing that you'd taken your girlfriend up on her invitation to accompany her on her weekly visit to the Korean manni-pedi salon. At least there you might have been able to sneak a few huffs off an open bottle of nail polish, and said huffs would be far more enjoyable than what you'd find on this less-than-legendary disc.
