A couple of things about this game and discussions around this game confuse me.
1 being, why was this an exclusive? Why wasn't this game on Xbox and GC like the previous one was? Why was the lack of guest characters such a big deal for people? It's not like Soul Calibur had cemented it's Identity as a fighter yet, I remember people acting like the lack of guest characters was egregious, we were only 2 games in the series at this point tho! What level of consistency was really achieved for us to flip out about that one aspect.
While I say all of that I will also admit I am a hypocrite and wonder myself: why didn't this game have guest characters?
This is an alright game, combat and movement are still fluid but it felt a lil slower than the previous game. Music also isn't as memorable as the second. Also with me growing up with the Xbox version of SC2 and then with this being a PS2 exclusive it visually isn't as good looking as the previous entry as well.
Most people I talk to who really enjoy this game love it for the campaign mode and the character creation but that's not what I play the series for, I play it for fighting aspect. It's just a overall OK game in that sense for me
