I had never heard about this...Wuut...I'm shocked.

Why is this in the Sony section?

Easy, this guy likes PS3 most and was therefore browsing the Meta scores of PS3 titles.  Metacritic pages don't tell you what other platforms the game is on, so he is just asking based on the metacritic score of a PS3 game with 92 that he found, and probably didn't realize or care that it was multiplatform.

I had never really heard of it either until people started talking about it here on VGC. Sounds interesting..I may have to rent it.

game is worth your money and then some...if you are serious about fighting games. If you like to play them occasionally and think semi-circle + fireball is a hard super move to do...you may not get the game and why its getting 90+.

this game is AMAZINg. I'm playing with a board member right now :) currently 8-3 my lead.

its really good best fighter this gen

Cool, May tide me over till The King Of Iron Fist 6

Where did this come from? Aksys games. Har har...... But seriously, the IGN score sold me. It IS very good. Beautiful to look at, good characters.

I'm so tempted to get this!

I was pretty big into Soul Calibur II back in the day, and I'm not sure how well I'm going to like this.

If I do get it I'll get it for PS3. Are there trophies (I'm assuming there are)? How is the online community? Are there enough players to find a match?
