Beside the arcade and story mode of the game which are excellent. I love creating my own character, playing Chronicles of the Sword and then playing that character in a vs battle outside the strategy game.

This game had some game breaking bugs on PS2. A proper rerelease on PC would be HUGE. Even better would be the arcade version! This game deserves the love, as it is easily one of the best in the series.

Eternal game, that Age of Empire-type battle mode was sensational, it was a giant hit! I waited for this mode in the other newer Soul Calibur games and it didn't happen, so sad...
I think, those who played Soul Calibur 3 will agreed that this one was probably the most complete and memorable game of the Soul Calibur saga. This game feels like home. From the Tutorials with Olcadan, to the Challenges, the shops, the arcade and the Chronicle of the Soul. Every aspect of this game is memorable. Definitely an Good Old Game.
SoulCalibur III was a solid weapon based fighting game. For having so many characters it works amazingly well. You get a good variety of modes. I should point out there's a famous save glitch within a particular mode. This was the first entry to allow customization. It may not be as great as the previous games. But still way better than SoulCalibur IV and V respectively.
