Advantages: Great gameplay, wonderful graphics

Disadvantages: Beat em up's can be limited and it has a finite longevity

This has to be one of the best beat’em up games ever made! I played the original game when it came out on the Playstation and dismissed it as Tekken with weapons. How wrong I was. I got Soul Caliber the first day it was out and haven’t regretted the purchase for a single moment. I had always liked the Tekken series of games due to the excellent control system they used, but this game takes its cues from Tekken and just enhances the whole experience. The controls are intuitive and the graphics are unbelievable, with amazing detail and slick animation.

This game is great for beginners and beat’em up veterans alike due to its superb learning curve. Beginners can get to grips with it straight away and be pulling of basic special moves within minutes, but there is also the depth and sheer variation that will keep veterans coming back for more.

Unlike some beat’em ups where you may just get a couple of characters, Namco has always know that big rewards will keep players coming back for more. So Soul Caliber has new fighters, new costumes, new arenas and also any immensely large art gallery that all have to be earn’t by the player. This is the perfect enticement to lure you in and keep you hooked for ages! You just keep going until you have got it all.

Great in single player, amazing in multiplayer. If you have a Dreamcast and this is not in your collection, I would definitely recommend that you get it. It really would be that much of a crime to not own this wonderful game! If you don’t have it, go out and buy it now!
