Soul Calibur (DC) Reviews

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 I was ...  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 first ...  Read the complete review

I feel privaleged to give my opinion on one of the most fantastic beat em ups ever to grace the console world. It is an awe-inspiring game which is both equaly visually spectacular as it is a dream to play.

I paid just £20 for this game at gamestation, and it was one of the best purchases I ever made. I have friends who own high-end PC's with plenty of new games; we also rent games from time to time. But every single time we hang out, Soul Calibur must be played. Over a year old, it STILL outshines the newest releases. I still haven't shown ...  Read the complete review

Personally I think that a good fighting game has to meet three demands. It must be good to look at graphically, it must be fast paced, and most importantly the controls must have that "natural" feel. Soul Calibur fulfills all these challenges, and then some! The graphics are not only fuctional, but are beautiful to look at! ...  Read the complete review

Since the launch of the Dreamcast, Soul Calibur has widely been recognized as the preeminent fighting game on the system. Coming from PlayStation diehard developers Namco, Soul Calibur exceeds even their Tekken series in quality and playability. A host of mythical and outrageous medieval style characters in weapon-based battles, leather and blades ...  Read the complete review

Soul Calibur arrived with great expectations. A classy beat em up from the arcades ws to get the Dreamcast treatment. And it doesnt let up. The remise is simple enough, beat the hell out of all the people in your was with a series of special moves and big big weapons. Which comes to the first point, weapons. These are pivotal to ...  Read the complete review

I’ve never been much of a fan of fighting games but I was converted when I had a quick bash (pardon the pun) on Tekken 3. It was fairly easy to play, looked great and you were able to make the various characters perform ridiculously complicated moves. Here then we have Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. It’s made by ...  Read the complete review

This is quite simply the greatest beat-em-up ever invented!! 3D Vector graphics make this game feel incredibly REAL. It has various features, which I'll describe presently. The time-released characters idea is a great addition, giving greater variation. I can still remember my excitement at receiving each new character to be greeted ...  Read the complete review

The thing that probably irritates me the most in games is essential this: A game is so damn good, that the irritating little problems irritate me so much that I end up virtually hating the game. And that nearly happened with soul calibur. But, thankfully, the good things about the game were so good that I just couldn’t turn against it. ...  Read the complete review

There's no doubt that this is the best-looking beat'em up ever, with excellent characters,super-fluid animation and hundreds of perfectly balanced moves. The best thing about the game is the way that anyone can pick it up and start having fun strait away. that said, it takes a long time to master, and if you're battling against a ...  Read the complete review

Soul Calibur is reason enough to buy a Dreamcast on it's own. Easily the finest beat em up of all time (including those on the PS2) it brings some much need longevity to the genre in the form of the Mission mode. There is the obligatory Arcade mode which many people will find very easy. However you will keep going back to it to shave a few ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game last new years so me and my friends could beat each other up without causing nosebleeds or broken limbs. It worked so deserves 5 stars. This game offers great graphics and flowing high paced gameplay. Some of the moves are really impressive and the mission mode is good if u have no friends. Mitsubishi or whatever his name is is ...  Read the complete review

This may come as a shock to all you soul calibur lovers, but there are people actually out there who don’t like it, such as me! There is nothing wrong with the gameplay, graphics or sounds, they are all great. It is just that I find all beat em ups boring, especially when you are playing someone who knows a 79 part combo and before you have ...  Read the complete review

Soul Calibur – One of the most lifelike beat ‘em ups around with about 8 hidden characters to unlock with quite a few other things to unlock as well (e.g. stadiums). Amongst the likes of Dead or Alive 2 and Powerstone (and Powerstone 2) this game is certainly likely to get you into the idea of beat ‘em ups. Two characters called ...  Read the complete review
