Soul calibur legends is an adventure/action game developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii by Project Soul and published by Namco Bandai.

The Soul Calibur series are the best fighting games in the market. With the Wii's unique controllers, the franchise had to try a new game to exploit them. Legends is not a fighting game but a beat them all in the universe and with the players of Soul Calibur.

The game takes place between Soul Edge and Soul Calibur, in order words at the beginning of the series. The main plot revolves around Siegfried Schtauffen (the human version of nightmare) and his transformation to the beast that characterizes the series. Siegfried finds the weapon that will lead to his destruction on a ship with no other captain than Cervantes. After defeating him, you take the Soul Edge and embark on another quest to find the remaining pieces of the sword that will be used to defeat the armies of the Ottoman Empire.

Soul Calibur Legends uses the same combat style than in its fighting games. The difference is that you use your techniques to fight in a completely 3D world and against many enemies. The game let you play seven different characters from Soul Calibur including Siegfried (obviously), Mitsurugi, Ivy and Taki. Other characters make appearances as well but as bosses or simple enemies.

Soul Calibur Legends tries to take the series in a new direction with this adventure game. However, the game feels a little light and they could have done a game really amazing. Nevertheless, it's a great experience to use these characters in a long story and the use of your Wiimote as your primary weapon gives a whole new meaning to the game. This game shows the potential the Wii has for these games and now all we need is a real Soul Calibur game for the console.
