If you thought Tekken 2 was tough, take a stab at this.
What's next in fighting? How about a game
that meld 3D movement, polygon characters,
razor sharp graphics, awe-inspiring moves
and a one-of-a-kind combat system? Or,
in short, Soul Blade -arguably the most
innovative fighting game on the planet. It's the
15th century and ten warriors from around
the world, each wielding their weapon of
choice, are in bloody pursuit of Soul Edge
-the ultimate weapon. Sure, only one will find
it. But it looks like the critics already have
found it. Game Players Magazine voted
Soul Blade "Best Game of Show" at AMMO,
and NEXT Generation calls Soul Blade
"the most complete fighting game to date." 
Obviously, a cut above.
