Every fighting series had the title that started it all, and whilst a good portion of these games don't get it right on the first try, Soulcalibur on the Dreamcast unequivocably does, and it has even been argued that the numerous sequels (the fourth title most recently coming out last Summer), have, despite vast technological ...

This has to be one of the best beat'em up games ever made for the dream cast! I played the original game when it vame 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 ... Read the complete review

Despite being a proud owner of a Dreamcast I never really saw the attraction to the Soul Calibur brand. After all, Soul Calibur is just Tekken with swords... isn't it? Well that's like saying Bloody Roar is Tekken with the ability to turn into a monster mid-way through the battle. The use of swordplay is the single ... Read the complete review

Excellent graphics and flowing gameplay make this an excellent game, probably more playable than Dead or Alive 2 with it's RSI inducing controls. Tons of options means that you won't complete it too fast. Even if you do, two player battles are always enjoyable. Plus, unlocking all the extra characters adds to the mileage ...

For me, the Dreamcast is a fantastic console, and has probably got the best range of quality titles for the money you pay – everything is a lot less expensive than the PlayStation 2, but in my view the range of games is better and so is the quality. One such title, which will undoubtedly get Tekken fans in a heated fuss, is the ... Read the complete review

People always say that games can only get to a certain stage of excellence, the nirvana of home entertainment, and then it's a downward scale from that point on. Playstation owners told us that peak was hit with the tremendous product that was Tekken 3, and we believed them. But, with Soul Calibur, Namco, the company also behind the ...

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 ... Read the complete review

Fantastic - the overall best fighting game for DC, there are literally hundreds of different moves, many unique to each character, and the best thing is that you can easily get away with almost random button-bashing resulting in a fairly impressive martial arts display. The major change is blocking which must now be done by pressing a ... Read the complete review

This has to be Namco's best fighter yet. Having played Tekken, Dead or Alive 2, Project Justice and various 2d fighters this is without a doubt the best there is. The control system for the moves is nigh on perfect for a start, simple to understand and with a bit of practice a wide range of moves can be pulled off. ... Read the complete review

Not a huge fan of beat-em-ups! Never have been, and so I was pleasantly surprised when Soul Calibur kept my attention for so long. Hearing nothing but praise for the game since it’s release I thought I’d give it a go (£15, can’t complain!). Now while the majority of games of this genre tend to have a ... Read the complete review

I first played Soul Calibur a couple of years ago in a local Arcade, it was sat next to Tekken 3, both of them were running on massive projector screens and looked fantastic. Already being a veteran of the Classic Soul Edge on the Playstation, I figured that I would give it a go. Naturally I immediately chose one of the characters that ... Read the complete review

An old classic comes to the dreamcast and believe me it has not failed to impress. As the arcade version had great graphics, very fast gameplay and a wide range of players with there own fighting technique. The dreamcast version is what i say a complete copy. On the dreamcast it has all the qualitys of the arcade game but what impressed ... Read the complete review

Namco's Tekken series has been one of the best selling 3D fighting series for the Sony Playstation. So why can't they do it for the Sega Dreamcast? Well they have started something. Soul Calibur was the second fighting game to be released when the Sega Dreamcast was introduced to the United States back on September 9, 1999 (the ... Read the complete review

In my view this is the best beat em up on any console ever the game has about fifteen different modes and about 20 characters. The best ... Read the complete review
