Namco Bandai's PSP port of Soulcalibur IV, dubbed Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, carries over much of its console predecessor's character customization features. Want to tell the eternal tale of swords and Smurfs? You can do that.

Or you can go pink, add devil horns—the Soulcalibur team seems to really like horns—or give yourself an intimidating skull mask. Likewise, you can go in the opposite direction and put an afro on someone, dropping the intimidation factor of your fighter.

Or you can do what I always do: create the exact same sexy librarian goth tart with the shortest shorts offered, play around with her for a bit, and put the game back on the shelf. Your possibilities for custom Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny souls may be endless, but not mine. Anyway, some screens of the PSP take on custom characters is in our gallery.
