SoulCalibur Reviews

I bought a Dreamcast just so I could play this, such is my belief that it is one of the finest software lines that Namco have. I had never played Soul Calibur in my life, but knowing full well that Soul Blade STILL IS one of the best beat-em-ups about, I knew I could not go wrong. And after spending £200 just to play it, did I feel cheated? OF COURSE NOT. This game has never failed to impress anyone who plays it, and everytime I load it up, I still can't believe how much detail and effort is packed into it. The graphics, music score, characters, artwork, control system, moves, extra features, EVERYTHING is so perfectly crafted, it makes me shudder when people place Tekken above this. If it was just style over content, I could understand it. But this game has everything, and it has in truckloads. If you only ever buy one beat-em-up, for God's sake buy this.

This is the only good game for the Dreamcast, since the Dreamcast never was a good system people got it for this game. For the Dreamcast the graphics are awesome. The Gameplay is like Tekken and Mortal Kombat combined. There's one thing though they made Nightmare way to beast he is such an animal that I can kill someone in 3 hits, but he is to slow. The characters I like are Hwang and Nightmare that's it. The Storyline was a bit iffy though, they could have done a better job of that especially the endings for the characters.
