In fact, the only way to approach Blades of Fury as anything other than just a Soul Calibur clone is to believe that Gameloft released it this week as an homage to Soul Calibur, ten years after the Dreamcast release.

Hero of Sparta was terrible. It was slow and the controls were awful. Fuck iPhone games

It seems that with the ipod touch/iphone becoming such a serious software platform, apple should make one actually dedicated to gaming, with real buttons. It could be quite formidable against say, the psp go or the dsi.

Seeing how good Soul Calibur looks for PSP, I'm definitely not impressed by what I just saw. You could probably make a pretty good argument that the original dreamcast version looked better than that.

Either my computer is slow or those are pretty terrible frame rate drops.

And Modern Warefare for the wii has better graphics than the PS360 and PC versions.

You really didn't like it? I think Broken Destiny is great. I mean Dampierre alone is fantastic.

How can this even be considered a knock off? No Mitsurugi, Kilik, Taki, or Maxi. Most of all, a total lack of breast physics. What a shame. Just imagine the stuff you could do with multi-touch and ginormous jubblies.

The game actually does work pretty well despite only having input via the touch screen. It's a combination of gesturing and an on-screen D-pad.
That aside, I can't help but find it amazing as to how quickly gameloft is growing. Any idea how many people are working for them these daya?

Really what could they do.. There's nothing wrong or illegal about releasing cloned games. Short of developing soul calibur for the iPhone, all they can do is sit and watch gameloft make money and slap their foreheads for not thinking of it first.
Someone insert that piccard forehead slap failure pic for me.

I am also baffled by the controls. It has a dpad on screen, that's it? I assume there should at least be an attack button and some other kind of button for kicks/throws/blocking?

Wow.... Steve Jobs is the ass I've heard him out to be. Apple is becoming just like their arch-nemesis. What happened to innovation and creativity? Now Mac is slipping? This is despiration at its worst. Now Apple is ripping off ideas and stealing idea's from other. Poor business on their side. I still hate Microsoft anyway, but I have only and iPod touch, and this is disgusting. Bad form!

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how a game released by Gameloft has anything to do with Apple and their state of innovation or what have you.

@NeoMahi in case you're not just being ironic:
Gameloft != Apple
I haven't played my PSP much at all since the App Store arrived. PSP games usually have more depth and generally better graphical quality than iPhone apps. But they cost 4-8x as much and rarely hold my attention very long anyway.
Has anyone tried this game out much? Is it worth the purchase price? $7 is cheap, to be sure, but it's over my "don't worry about it, give it a shot" threshold.
