The game is really nice. The best feature is the character create mode that lets you create your very own fighter, you don't have as much variety among clothes and faces to choose from, but it adds a lot to the game.
The graphics are good, the textures and models are sweet, my only concern are the few jaggies that I had noticed.
The controls are just like the playstation prequels, you will feel a soul calibur game in your hands.
Online is a little laggy, but is playable. Single player is just to short, Soul Calibur II last more than this title in my opinion.
the game is beautiful in terms of graphics.
the game play is the same from the ps2 version(SC2,SC3,), but only slightly different with some new characters.
because im a soul calibur fan, i loved the game.
and the character creation had an over haul since it first debuted on the ps2.
over all, i liked it.
It has been a couple of weeks since the release of soul calibur iv. Fans of the series and noobs to the series have come in line to pick up this amazing fighter by Namco. This franchise has been successful in its previous installments especially Soul Calibur II.
Basically, those of you who are into fighting games should know that this is a 3D-weapon based fighting game. They have everything from Tonfas, Daggers, Samurai swords, Axes, spears, extra large two-handed swords and much more.
This latest installment of the series is delivers high and intense action that will have you play hours and hours with your friends or take it online for more challenges, where people can challenge anyone around the world, and you never know; you just might fight one of the developers and end up beating them.
There are a few modes; story mode, arcade, verses, training, character creation and tower of lost souls.
story mode takes you through the story of the character picked with only one major cut-scene that deals with the character and his/her story. There is arcade mode that features 8 continuous matches against opponents. verses is a one on one with a friend and there are two types of verses mode regular and special. special is with the created characters that have been customized and made in character creation mode. training mode allows you practice and tone your skills in soul calibur iv.
character creation is used for of course as the name implies to create a character with the standard character's fighting styles, each equipment has status effects to it, such as healing, immune to ring outs, speed up character, strength and defense enhancements and much more. Finally, the tower of lost souls makes you ascend or descend and each floor has special requirements that need to be met to clear the floor.
The music in the game fits everything perfectly with the extra starwars character (the starwars battle stage) added to the game, for the PS3 Darth Vader and the Apprentice, and the XBOX 360 gets Yoda and the Apprentice.
To bring everything to a conclusion, soul calibur iv is an amazing game, awesome selection of characters with different fighting styles and different speeds and strengths. If you are a fighting game fan then this is a fighting game that you must pick up. So let the SOUL KEEP BURNING AND FIGHT ON SOUL FANS.
