E3 2005: SoulCalibur III by year end

News - Beat 'em up sequel on the cards

Do you really need to know more? You do? Okay. How about this? Number three will expand the possibilities of the beat-em-up with its wide range of game-modes. The immersive Tales of Souls mode offers unique narratives for each character, whilst the new Soul Arena mode provides the player with a series of high-paced battles with various special conditions and situations. Character Creation mode will allow SoulCalibur III players to create their own unique warriors with customisable appearances and a range of fighting styles; a feature that is sure to excite fans of the series.

The unique characters can be used in other modes such as the Chronicles of the Sword mode, which combines elements from fighting games and real-time simulations. The PR pimps ask you to gaze at the lithesome beauty of SoulCalibur III, promising that although she may be getting on in years she can still wow them with her looks and tire them out with her boggling array of energetic moves.

SoulCalibur III will cater for up to two players and will remain a PS2 exclusive.
