Soul Calibur Legends was entirely playable at E3 on Thursday, and many gaming sites got a chance to play the Wii exclusive. Impressions are mostly positive, which is definitely a good thing. The game is on track to release on November 6, 2007.

At Namco Bandai's area at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Santa Monica today, Soulcalibur Legends was entirely playable - it was essentially the same areas and levels as the version the company showed us just a few weeks prior, but this time we could hold the Wii controls in hand and hack, slash and pound away at the enemies using the nunchuk/Wii remote combination.

It is a learning curve simply because it's not a 1:1 affair - like most Wii motion-based games, there's a slight delay in the action versus the on-screen remote, so quick and staccato motions seem to trigger random effects. Instead, the game was much more appreciative and responsive when you moved the controls with a much more steady and exaggerated motion.

    All right we got a release date on it! Besides Super Smash Bros. series, Soul Caliber has got to be my favorite.

    I'd assume that SSBB would release around that time too. So I might have to buy two new games for my Wii in November...

    Sigh. I mean, it does look good but...it seems that there isn't many characters to choose from. No Maxi or Mi-Na in any of the screens or trailers Being a huge SC fan, though, I'll still get this game.
