SC5 is the 5th installment of the battle of swords,blades and combat. Ok I'm not even gonna be a bore with this review and talk you to death, considering a lot of you fighters have been anticipating this game so let's get straight to it.

(Graphics) I have to and its my duty as a gamer to start off with SC5's graphics. This game is gorgeous and I'm not talking George, everything from the characters to the stages shine and are vivid with color. I honestly can't believe how good this game looks. In full hd Sc5 puts almost every game you have ever played to shame.

(Sound) I gave this baby a go with my turtle beaches and its orchestrated to perfection. Voice overs are cheesy as cheddar but are masterfully executed with the sound quality of the game.All I can really say is somebody been busy cause every slash clang of swords and armor and battle cry sound excellent.

(Story mode) The story mode to be blunt, sucks like nobodies business its a fighter so what do you expect. Starting battles are far to easy and although it tells a story it seems kind of boring. You just may find yourself skipping cut scenes cause they are still images. So take it from me this is no Mk story its just kind of like prologue fight her and get a still cutscene fight him get another still cutscene.

(Multiplayer) One word..great,unless you run into the ever so common spammer that uses the same attacks over and over till you scream random curses into your tv screen in a rage of, oops sorry I had a flash back lol. Sorry for that run on sentence but it got kind of intense.

(Gameplay) I like swords knives and shiny things, I also like to kick slam and hammer on people. Sc5 offers all those things and much more, with so many different weapons used by characters and fighting techniques,it may take a  while to master your favorite character. Ezio from Assassins Creed also makes an appearance as a usable character. His moves are sick but I also brought him up because of his array of weaponry at his disposal,just points out how in-depth this game is on the combat mechanics. Also you have the option to create your own fighter, that puts the sugar on that cereal.

EGEM-MAG VERDICT FOR SC5
4.5 stars
Great in so many ways but think would have been better without the story mode.
