 A very high calibur of game August 5, 2008

Having played the 'soul' series since Blade on the PS1, and being one of the tragically few people to have owned a Dreamcast with Soul Calibur 1, I was a bit dissapointed with the xbox incarnation of the series. I didnt find much evolution in SC 2, and number 3 was, frankly, poor.
I held out hope that this new gen of console would breath life into the franchise and thank goodness I have not been let down. SC has always had beautiful backgrounds and cut scenes, but in SC4 the character detail is on another level- the animation and graphical clarity during fights has never been better, with a real sense of solidity and depth to the characters. The 'create a fighter' mode is great, even if you cannot combine move sets from different characters. The inclusion of the Star Wars universe does not grate on me as much as I though it would, and Yoda leaping about like when he fought Duku in the movies is a lot of fun- at least he is a bit 'different' and not like Spawn in SC2, who felt merely like a familiar fighter with a different character model patched over the top.
The joy of the SC series is that, for purists, there is depth, but it still allows 'button mashers' to pull off some great combos. Some see this as a fault, but i love the fact that in vs mode I cant take for granted that I can beat someone less familiar with the game- every fight is challenging.
I am not online, but can only presume that, providing there are no lag issues, the vs mode will be as entertaining as it is in 'meatspace'.
If you loved SC, but felt let down by number 3, then let this game restore you faith in a truly great gaming series- its the best its been since it lived on the Dreamcast.

Erm, is anyone else slightly worried that there is an Ubisoft logo on the box there, especially after they screwed up R6V2 and, well practically all their next gen games? Man, i hope they're just publishing it :(
True Sequel to Soul Calibur 2 August 1, 2008

A lot of people are 'reviewing' this on this page and saying you can't play as Vader but it is a well known fact that he will be available as DLC later on so thats that sorted. The last Soul Calibur game wasn't as good as it could've been and people were expecting something better than SC2 which I had on GCN with Link. This Soul Calibur is the true sequel to that because it keeps the same idea of console specific characters which makes the game different on each console. The addition of online play really saves this game because without it you wouldn't play on it for nearly as long and kicking your friend's arse as Yoda or even the Sith Apprentice is a lot of fun. It keeps all the favourite characters from the previous games like and fills the game with lovely next-gen graphics which makes it look amazing.
 seriously flawed August 2, 2008

this game looks and plays fantastic once you master the buttons to pull off some impressive moves,but is badly flawed when you hit the deck no counter move to hit your opponent so you can get up instead you just stand up into a punishing assault and lose or try rolling out of way but get repeatedly hit whilst on the floor and lose .would have been so much better to have a backwards roll to get clear.also the critical is a waste of time you never get chance to pull it off as to activate it your opponent has to guard so you can repeatly hit them to make there health bar glow red then you have to break through the guard of opponent which they never seem to drop so you can get soul crush to activate critical.it would have been so much simpler if critical was used when opponents health was at its lowest point.play time very short but multiplayer if you can get matched up takes bloody ages waiting is good hire before buying
 No Vader - No Play July 8, 2008

Yup, poor old 360 owners get the little green idiot who can't phrase a sentence correctly.
No Vader.
The ONLY real selling point of this game is to kick seven shades out of the other characters using Vader.
But it looks like only the PS3 mob will get this.
We get the munchkin and Vaders idiot apprentice.
Sorry Bandai, me-no-buy.
