In anticipation of release Tekken 6 on all consoles, including PSP, in Namco Bandai have not forgotten about the fans of another blockbuster series - Soul Calibur. For the first time we can take your favorite heroes on the nature and arrange a championship with your friends in a pine forest.
Until the game was in development, the most that fans had hoped - a stripped-down port of Soul Calibur IV with two new characters, which would replace not particularly relevant "guest stars" from the far-distant galaxy. But when she finally came out, and we must admit that the developers have surprised in the first place, that really finished the combat system. That's really what nobody expected and what is not wanted, so it is that specifically for the PSP someone will modify and adapt the already well-proven boevki fourth. Of course, for those who have never seen a combination of Hilda, guaranteed to lift the almost the whole range of life, and do not know how many animation frames were available for "punishment" after the Gi, any changes probably would go unnoticed. But for those who are seriously passionate about the game, Broken Destiny will be a real discovery.
Without going into details, let's say that the revamped steppe and Gi, in some places have changed freymdatu, all characters have added a new reception at A + B + K, as well as the Change of the effect of some of the old - for example, one popular hit Miwurugi no longer throws an enemy in the fall, and therefore no longer possible to continue the series as all have become accustomed. As a result, we have improved boevki in which Hilda can no longer rely on the monstrous "Guarantor", and Zasalamel has finally become competitive and playable. Although in our opinion, the most significant change yet have the steppes, which are now very similar to what we've seen in Soul Calibur II, when two or three quick movement you find yourself behind the enemy.

If, however, distract from a thorough study of the combat system, the main novelty (and already have to evaluate all gamers, young and old) is, of course, new characters, which replaced the Jedi. And although one of them - another visitor from the nearby universe, they both look more appropriate on a background of medieval decorations in combat with swords. Well, meet: Dampier and Kratos - two completely different style of fighting, two different approaches to a duel. First - this is the constant change of racks, crawling along the ground and the unexpected fast attack, Dampier is more reminiscent of the Wold, only even more insane and unpredictable.Kratos is the same - the center of force and fury, he also recalls Cervantes Algol and Ivy: powerful attacks, flight, control distance. I must say that in contrast to the weak Jedi, which is why Namco have done something very weak, Kratos is a little too strong, and if the community eventually ripen before the official championship Broken Destiny, he is - first, who will be banned immediately and unconditionally . But just for fun play for him - things fun.
Graphically, the game is very good. We will not talk again, he says, the developers of the PSP squeezed all the juice, but the arena and the characters actually look perfectly. Particularly surprised faces of heroes: notably, that for them to sacrifice even a detailed armor and clothing, but it's clearly worth it. Sometimes it even seems as if Soffit or Dream Mina became more appealing, a striking effect! For lovers to create their characters good news will be disclosed that the items to create outfits became more than a PS3 or Xbox 360. All fighting-present expanse of fashion awaits!

You might think that Broken Destiny perfect fighting game, but unfortunately, it is not. The main drawback of the portable version in a very poor set of individual modes and the absence of a full-fledged online. Yes, there is provided for ad-hoc battles with friends via Wi-Fi (one should be sitting nearby with his PSP and his drive), but there's no online multiplayer Infrastructure, which is especially frustrating because of apparent lack of single solo entertainment. Broken Destine welcomes the possibility of quick battle with the computer opponent Quick Battle (and before the fight you are given a choice of several opponents depicting living people with their statistics, victories and defeats of the name, just like in Tekken: Dark Resurrection), an endless "battle for survival» Trials Mode, which is, in fact, only renamed Survival-mode, and the only full-fledged (and in some cases even the plot-oriented) Gauntlet Mode. Alas, here is waiting for a slight disappointment. This whole "Scene" mode - in fact, just a huge tutorial, training intonation, chew all the basics for beginners. All jobs here - just practice a technique: You will be asked to leave from enemy attacks and counter it, do Gi, punish quickly hit after the block slow, learn techniques of different characters and understand where they can meddle with his kontrvypadom, and where not. All this is embellished story about the adventures of Cassandra and Hilda, who sometimes funny and amusing, but in no way connected with the main story arc of the universe Soul Calibur, as the game warns before running this regime.
Well, the point of «i» are arranged, the time for the final word. Whatever it was, all the fans of Soul Calibur have received excellent portable version of your favorite fighting game, and even more progressive than the "canonical" fourth part - brought to mind the battle system, a large number of fighters and arenas, two new characters and the ability to compete with one another on ad-hoc.But for simple owners of the PSP and newcomers Broken Destiny - the best reason to join the famous series, try it on the tooth and once again admire the graphics power of the portable console from Sony.

As mentioned in the text, Gauntlet Mode, which is the only scene mode the game has no relation to the basic universe of Soul Calibur. Here, "a completely frivolous Cassandra" travels with "quite serious Hilda." Along the way they meet various characters and at the same time taught us how to "third unnamed person", all sorts of wisdom and cunning gameplay. In fact, this whole mode - a great tutorial, offered in a guise of fun and foolish stories. Ironically, the basis of this mode is comic, which was applied to the Collector's Edition Soul Calibur IV in Japan. In it are the same Cassie and Hilda taught players the basics of the game (that's how to do Gaida!), In the process without a measure fooling around and payasnichaya. Comics (or, if the terminology, the manga) was so popular that the developers decided to build from it the whole story. And now the European players can not scour the web in search of fenskih translations, and enjoy all these frivolous booth itself that neither is interactive and playful way.
