well i wont give a full review but since i just got this game i figured i post some impressions
first of all this game is beautiful to look at- the graphics are very well done and are very crisp
sound is pretty good too- the music is good and sound effects are pretty well done as well
but the biggest thing in the game is of course gameplay- and it is a blast! basically if you have played soul calibur on the dreamcast you will feel right at home as the gameplay has not exactly changed- but that is a good thing since soul calibur is the best weapons based fighter out there- the biggest problem people have is the gamecube controler and some dont think it is the best to play fighting games with- well the controler works really good (at least for me) basically a does a horizontal slash, y does a vertical slash, x does kick attacks, and b blocks- r and l also block just in case the b button is too hard to get to- and the best part is that if you dont like the controls, you can change the scheme to anything you want- link is a very good character in the game and fits right in- and in fact you can do almost all of his attacks from the zelda games- you can do the spin attack, throw bombs, throw the boomerang, and even shoot arrows- he is a lot of fun to play as- the weapon master mode (the game's single player) is very fun and pits you in fights with certain rules- such as you can only do throws to attack- basically the game is very fun and is worth it for anyone vaguely interested in fighting games- but as most fighting games, even though single player is fun, the multiplayer is really where it is at
