Soul Calibur II's premise is based on a group of fighters who partake in weapon-based fighting as each has their own agenda when it comes to the conflict between the evil Soul Edge and the spirit sword, Soulcalibur.
But, because of the hidden depth that the game engine exhibits, I really wish the Practice Mode was more like the extensive training found in Virtua Fighter 4, which would have gone a long way to keep new players from just button mashing their way to victory.
The audio portion of Soul Calibur II is strong in its own right, but compared to the gameplay and graphics, has to stand a step back.

 SF Citations for OED
Sci fi was applied to the most miserable sort of juvenile fiction, to stories about dragons on other planets, to Burroughs-type adventure fiction, to mundane fiction which the author insisted occurred in the near future, even to sword and sorcery fiction and alternate universe novels.
A `translation', in the uncompromising critical vocabulary set forth by Damon Knight and James Blish in the 1950s on which I based much of my own fiction-writing aesthetic, is an adaptation of a stock format of mundane fiction into s-f by a simple one-for-one substitution of science-fictiony noises for the artefacts of the mundane field.
What I'd lost—what sf had lost—after Sputnik had stitched its way back and forth across the new mundane sky, was the old sense that space was a magic portal, a sky-hook capable of hiking us into the future.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon is a shining example of what this genre is capable of, and it comes as close to perfection as any recent adventure game has.
Despite the bumps and jolts I still had a lot of fun with Broken Sword 3 and this attests to the mesmerising quality and drawing-power of the game, and confirms Revolution as master storytellers when it comes to Ripping Yarns.
However, what Broken Sword does do is very polished and offers a slick level of gameplay for the occasional gamer used to solitaire and minesweeper.
