Soul Calibur – the best game on the Dreamcast? Who can say for sure, but this is a very impressive fighting game that would appeal more to the ‘casual’ gamer if there is such a thing, than the likes of Tekken.
Don’t get me wrong – Tekken is a great game, but Soul Calibur is probably easier to get into and play – it’s certainly one of the highest rated fighting games, and produced by Namco, you wouldn’t expect anything else! The game has a large one player mission mode which will keep you busy for a while, some tasks are very challenging, and then there’s the arcade mode – chance to unlock lots of great new characters, but the best mode is the 2 player of course! There’s nothing like beating a full of themselves mate at a fighting game, and Soul Calibur is a great way to have tournaments, a winner stays on competition and more. The game is so good for many reasons though – it’s great fun for 2 or more people (take it in turns), the one player mission is a mission, and the graphics and gameplay is excellent.
Graphically very advanced, although it may not look as great as some top PS2 games – the detail and smoothness is definitely strong with SC. The moves are easy to learn, and you’ll pick up lots in no time at all.

A superb game, that is a little fast a furious, but deserving of your pound coins or credit card number.
