This is the best fighting game I have EVER played and is miles better than Tekken Tag Tournament. The graphics are some of the best you will ever see even after 2 years and I still play it to this day. There is so much to do and unlock in this game and it plays like a dream. Highly recommended!

i ve come across alot of fighting games, but when i came across this game it took my breath away. the gameplay is very fast and fluid. with many different options to choose from and the added extra of 12 hidden characters it is nothing short of genius. tekken doesnt even come close!

This game is one of the reasons I bought a Dreamcast. A sequal to the Playstation title Soulblade, Sega really excelled itself this time, with brutal graphics and fan tastic sound quality. This is no ordinary enter-the-arena-and-fight games. In the Story Mode, you travel to various locations throughout the world and use special methods to defeat them, and there’s also a plot to follow. Other than that, there is the standard Arcade Mode, Practice Mode, Survival Mode, and many others, including hidden modes.
Whether you’re a die hard Soulblade fan, or you just like a good slash-fest, this game is the one for you.

I’ll admit it – straight up – I didn’t like beat ‘em ups . I didn’t understand the whole combination button thing , couldn’t work out which button did which , and all in all thought the games were pointless as single player affairs . Then Soul Caliber came along and changed my mind . There was an easily accessible menu to work out how to perform combinations , the story mode was interesting and varied , with different scenarios producing different targets , and the animations and charaters themselves were excellently brought to life . It took me a while to finish it , but it was well worth it .

Hard video game fact – there are only two beat-em-up’s that count for anything, “Street Fighter” and “Virtua Fighter”. Well, 6 years ago that statement would have been perfectly true. But Capcom and SEGA finally got a fighting game to give them a run for thier money, thier challenger was Namco and there are many that will tell you the release of “SoulCalibur” signaled the end of previously mentioned titles reign on top of the beat-em-ep heap. I’m one of the many. “SoulCalibur”, is, in a word, awesome. In every possible aspect the game excels and leaves it’s rivals standing in the dust. Although about 6 years old now, the visuals in this game still hold thier own and remain solid – if not as stunning as they were in the games hey day. But to play, this game continues to stand head and shoulders above any of it’s rivals. With a huge selection of combo’s and moves to master, this title has a huge lifespan. But the true beauty of this game is that anyone can pick it up and enjoy it, no matter what thier previous experience may be. It takes 5 minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master. The game also has a HUGE Mission Battle mode, which, with success, will reward you with a whole library of unlockable content – amazing. “SoulCalibur” is perfect in every area – I can’t think of any flaws and this makes the game a one-off for me. A perfect 10 out of 10 if ever there was one.
