Plus, you can use these zany weapons in the unlockable Extra Versus mode. Overall, while the victory spoils definitely impress, Weapon Master mode is too easy to offer long-term challenge. Dedicated players will unlock everything in one hefty session, especially if they exploit challenges like Chapter Nine's second stage where you win a whopping 30, Gold by playing it over and over. Don't even try to make sense of the obtuse backstory--just accept that a zombie pirate, French aristocrat, impossibly busty ninja, and Nintendo's own elfin name-taking ass-kicker, Link, have started up a private little fight club.
But unlike the last Soul Calibur, which was exclusive to Sega's now-defunct Dreamcast, this Calibur's for the people--it's available on all three consoles, and each version has a unique playable character. It's an intensely deep fighter that'll leave your thumbs and sometimes your ego black and blue. Ultimate moment: Tie: Playing a worthy competitor in an eight-fighter team battle that finally ends in a simultaneous double knockout; learning Ivy's Criminal Symphony throw, the game's most powerful move.
We've heard Soul Calibur III may not be out until , and since arcades will be extinct by then, it'll head straight to consoles. Besides the expected new characters and gameplay tweaks, rumor has it SC3 will put a lot of emphasis on new modes perhaps like IHrtua Fighter 4's deep character-building single-player game and have online play.
Hold me! Our last visitation to the Soul Calibur arena was on a beautiful little console title for the Dreamcast. A better than arcade perfect translation of the coin-op game of the same name, it rather delighted in giving us an experience to rival what we'd had playing Soulblade.
After a few years of waiting, the world has now received Soul Calibur 2 , released simultaneously for three different consoles, with a unique character on each. The Gamecube version is nearly identical, and in many ways, responds just the same way you'd expect, save for minor differences.
First, the unique Gamecube character is Link, of Zelda series fame. He plays just as you'd expect from a popular Nintendo character released on a fighting game, down to having his signature moves copied almost straight over.
Players familiar with Ivy or Mitsurugi should have no problem with Link, as he is best used switching between his different fighting stances. However, unlike the sheathed sword of Mitsurugi, or the spinning whip sword of Ivy, Link gets the bomb, boomerang, and arrow stance, letting him attack with those all too familiar weapons.
He's also equipped with a nasty set of spinning moves which are reminiscent of his power attacks from the original Zelda titles, and as he hasn't yet been voiced on a console, you'll find him saying nothing here, spoken for only with the grunts and cries used for special effect.
My favorite moment was when I first won a match using Link, and heard the familiar Zelda power-up sound. The Gamecube controller is not well suited for a game like Soul Calibur 2. While it has the four buttons necessary to play the game, the sliding grip on the shoulder buttons makes for poor controls of a special attack bound to one of those controls. Additionally, with off size buttons, the Gamecube controller favors a style of gameplay that doesn't suit a game that requires you to handle three separate attacks, along with a guard control.
Last but not least, the game gives a good visual showing, even though it obviously cannot stand up to the power of the Xbox version. Lost detail and quality of picture was minor, in my opinion, and in some ways, it makes one wonder if each version of the game was made more homogenic, sacrificing some of the graphic potential of the Xbox in order to make each game worth playing. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this title unless you only had a Gamecube.
If so, it'll be hard to learn, but ultimately, Soul Calibur 2 is one of the more enjoyable fighting games out there.
When the Dreamcast launched back in the summer of '99, there was one game that really stood out among the launch titles: Soul Calibur. With polished graphics that still look fantastic to this day, an easily accessible fighting engine that was deep enough to appeal to the hardcore crowd, and an epic orchestral sound track, it's no surprise that Soul Calibur is often claimed the best 3D fighting game among critical circles.
More than three years later, the long-awaited sequel to Soul Calibur has finally arrived stateside and is a worthy successor in the Soul Calibur franchise.
Although most 3D fighters focus on hand-to-hand combat, Soul Calibur II sticks to its roots of frantic weapon-based combat. The fighting engine is easy to get into, and button-mashers can pull fantastic looking moves within a few a minutes of play. On the flipside, it's also incredibly deep, with enough subtle nuances that can take months to master.
Attacks are limited to vertical and horizontal attacks, kicks, and guarding, but that doesn't make it any less strategic. Guarding, ring outs, wall combos, and the 8-way run system make SCII much more than a simple button-masher. Most importantly, it's just a load of fun with a lot to do. The fighting is fast and fluid and with over ten modes of play, the replay value is almost unlimited, especially with a few friends. Aside from a few framerate issues on the PlayStation 2, the visual differences between the three are negligible.
Unless you have a home theatre setup that can take advantage of the p format and Dolby Digital 5. Graphically, the leap from Soul Blade the first installment in the series to Soul Calibur was huge'it's like comparing a finger-painting of a 5-year old to the Mona Lisa.
Regardless, everything looks spectacular ' from the beautiful animation to the lush and complex backdrops. Likewise, the attention to detail and the overall style really makes SCII pleasing to look at. Bland techno or rock riffs are common staples of fighting games, but SCII takes a much more elegant route and utilizes an orchestral soundtrack.
Simply put, it works wonderfully. The voice acting is spot on as well, with numerous lines for each character in both Japanese and English. Even though Soul Calibur II is more of the same in many ways, it's still a very solid fighter. It hasn't revolutionized the genre like Soul Calibur did in , but 'The Soul Still Burns,' strong enough that fighting fans, hardcore or casual, should do themselves a favor and check out Soul Calibur II.
On the flipside, it's also incredibly deep with enough subtle nuances that can take months to master. Guarding, ring-outs, wall combos, and the 8-way run system make SCII much more than a simple button-masher.
Soul Calibur 3 is a mixture between a full 3-D arena and 2-D sidescroll fighter. You can move left and right as typical of most 2-D as well as 'side-step' to go closer or further from the camera in a circle more or less.
The game is fast paced and fans of the series will feel right at home immediately. What sets 3 apart from the others is the story mode it has, which allows you to create a new character and lead them through a rather long campaign that offers an interesting change from the normal repeatitiveness that is the fighting game genre. You can also use an indepth creation system to make characters outside of that mode, giving them your favorite character's style, or one of seven or eight custom 'generic' ones.
I own all 4 of the games, this one kept my attention the longest of them all and Soul Calibur series remains my favorite in the genre.
