IGN has one of the first reviews (http://psp.ign.com/articles/101/1019792p1.html) up of the new PSP title, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny. They give it a modest 8.0 / 10.

Although Broken Destiny is nothing more than a portable version of Soulcalibur IV (with Kratos along for the ride), the game is visually stunning and the size of the roster is admirable. What's most impressive about Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny is how well it preserves its console counterpart's formula while making very few sacrifices along the way.

Although it's hard for me to strongly recommend this game if you already own Soulcalibur IV, it's safe to say that this is one of the most beautiful, complex fighting games on the PSP and should please Soulcalibur fans. The developers should be praised for making the game work so well on the PSP, even though we've seen most of it before.

Odd review.

The guy seems to be giving it an 8 because it is the same as the console version.

That's like giving any later port an automatically lower score because it is the same as on the other console.

Review the game on its own.

I fucking hate review scores nowadays.

Since when did an 8.0 become "modest"?

That's what I was thinking.

A person who only owns a PSP has not "seen this before", silly game reviewers and their pre-scoring biases. If you have to compare it to anything, try the arcade version.
