The Good
Fast paced. Great with mates round. Updated Tower of Lost Souls from Chronicles of the Sword. Great character creation with unlockaable stuff. Clever system of ranking in online play. Pretty sweet graphics, especially the clips between battles. Good Variation of characters, maxi being my favourite. More syncronised and smoother than Tekken.
The Bad
Online play can be very laggy. Can Get Boring after a while, not like any game but story mode for each character is too short.. Once you find a way winning easy, the game is pointless. Like I would just ring out with the Aprrentice with one button. When your facing Yoda it's hard to hit him cause he's too short for normal attacks so you have to hit low, which is slow. Very irratating when that happens online. It would cool if they had Darth Vadar, unfortunately they don't. The Guests don't really fit into any of the game, no deep storyline for them. But clever of Namco to include such controversial characters, as it would attract both SC fans and Star War fans. Sadly no team play, maximum is two.
The Ugly
The horrible sentence before and after battle like 'You ran out of luck when you messed with me' in a very cheesy voice.
Final Verdict
Good with mates round, nice little button bashing game for once.
