Soul Calibur (DC) Reviews

The magazines have given it 10/10, you heard good things about it, but how good is Soul Calibur. Take it from someone who forked out 40 quid for the game to believe everything you hear, this game is amazing! The graphics are like none other, the sound creates an astounding atmosphere and the gameplay is marvellous. As well as a great ...  Read the complete review

This game is within the region of one of the best fighting games of all time, i'm talking about all consoles and formats here. So if you have dreamcast and you're going to buy a game you should seriously consider purchasing this. The graphics are superb and the gameplay is smooth and excellent. When you pick up this game you will find ...  Read the complete review

Here’s another review for you, after I had update my Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure opinions, I felt it only fair to include Soul Calibur as well. It’s one of only a few games to get that prestigious 10/10 award, simply because it is faultless. There is nothing at all that I can complain about with Soul Calibur I guess a lot of you all ...  Read the complete review

Offering Graphics unseen on consoles previously, and seriously addictive gameplay, soul calibur is as close to the compete beat-em-yup as is currently possible. This game has the lot, and rarely have I played a game sol involving and engrossing. With a great range of characters on offer, and an even greater range of moves for each (there are ...  Read the complete review

i first got this game for christmas, at the same time as my dreamcast, i loved it from the second i got it and i still think its the best dreamcast fighter yet! pick one of 10 characters(or earn 9 hidden ones), and battle against your pals, how could thid be for fun?, i dont think it could, each character has OVER 100 moves EACH! WOW!, and ...  Read the complete review

Soul Calibur looks utterly, utterly beautiful. The fluidity of movement is incredible, and I'm sure did a great job of selling the Dreamcast to willing beat-em-up fans. Happily, the game itself is also excellent to boot, with a great range of (all very playable) characters, and a correspondingly huge array of moves. The varied weapons ...  Read the complete review

What can I say about this game? It was the whole reason I went out and bought a dreamcast. As soon as I got it home I started playing on it and it was almost impossible to get me away from it. It has a great balance of characters that are easy to learn the basics on but take skill and practice to master. OK, admitedly the single player ...  Read the complete review

This is the best beat-em-up that I have ever played! It has wonderfully detailed and smooth graphics - of both the fighters, arena's and backgrounds. It has great multiplayer gaming, and the single player mode is excellent too, with good logevity. If you have a Dreamcast then you MUST buy this game, even if (like me) you are not a massive fan ...  Read the complete review

I couldn't believe the quality of graphics on this game. The fight stages are great and the mission battles keep the game from getting stale. I gave this 4 stars because of the poor AI in the game. While the ARCADE segment of the game gets progressively more difficult to beat, with some semi-logical button mashing the CPU is easily ...  Read the complete review

If you haven't played Soul Calibur, I pity you. There surely can't be anyone who has a Dreamcast without this game. If there *is* then I want to know why exactly they bought a DC. SC is made by Sega's arcade rivals Namco. Yep, The same Namco that made Tekken. And Ridge Racer, its all kinda like a Sega game being made ...  Read the complete review

This game is amazing I havent experienced anything like this. First of all this is a very fun game to play against your friends especially if they knnow what they're doing it posts quite the challenge. I realised during the vs. battles that there are these cheap wasys to just keep attacking with the same move, do massive damage, and ...  Read the complete review

Lets get this straight from the start - unlike Powerstone this brings absolutely nothing new to the genre. It's basically just the same a Soul Blade, or pretty much any other 3D fighter for that matter, but what really makes this title is the width - and the sheer quality they squeeze into that area!!! The thing which really smacks ...  Read the complete review

when i bought my dreamcast i was reluctant with the number of quality games with the only one that was top quality being sonic adventure. Then came Christmas I found a magazine that recomended soul Calibur. I got Soul Calibur for Christmas along with the house of the dead 2 and sega rally 2 but the most outstanding was soul calibur. it ...  Read the complete review

Soul Calibur was one of the games that sold me on the idea of the Dreamcast. A couple of years ago I'd wasted many weeks battling with friends at Soul Blade on the PS so I was really looking forward to Soul Calibur. On my first night of play I notched up 6 hours of gameplay and realised that if I didn't get myself an arcade stick I was ...  Read the complete review

Each of the ten initial protagonists has different weapons, all of which are derived from various martial arts. Couple that with the different types of fighting styles on offer and you have perhaps the most varied selection of fighters ever seen in a beat-‘em up. As with all Namco arcade to home conversions, the developers have ...  Read the complete review

The best game ever! Soul Calibur has the best graphics of any game on any format that I have ever seen. The characters are so detailed and move so fluidly you won't believe your eyes. Fantastic visuals are all well and good but where Soul Calibur really shines is in the gameplay stakes. There are hundreds of extremely well balanced moves and ...  Read the complete review

There are loadsssss of different moves for you to pull off in this game. You don't have to be a master to look good either, all you have to do is bash a load of buttons and you'll do some amazing moves without knowing what the hell you pressed! The graphics in the game are brilliant and the movement of the characters is so smooth. ...  Read the complete review

Soul Caliber... the best fighting game on the planet by far! If you haven't played Soul Caliber by now, where have you been? The first time you play Soul Caliber you will notice how detailed everything is, the characters and the backgrounds look amazing. Namco have taken great care to make this game as graphicly detailed as possible. ...  Read the complete review

Some people believe that Soul Caliber is the perfect videogame. I don't. Maybe the perfectly presented videogame, but the gameplay just isn't quite right for me. I'll start with the bad points I think. You see, the thing is, I bought Soul Caliber on the day of release, and I enjoyed it hugely for the first month or so, but ...  Read the complete review

Soul Calibur to me was a disappointment. It was hyped as the best fighting game so far and, well, it almost is. It is truly the best looking game I have seen to date, the characters, the animation, even the backdrops are wonderful to look at that's not the ...  Read the complete review
