Soul Blade (PS) Reviews

Soul blade also known as Soul edge in Japan and was developed and published by Namco and released in 1996. The first game from the Soul series, Soul blade is a fast paced fighting game. It is one to two players and rated a 15+. Coming from the same makers as Tekken it has the same feel to it yet more unique as in weapons and battle conditions. ...  Read the complete review

I think not, this is one of those golden games in my humble opinion and if you'll give just a few minuets I will explain why! This was originally released along side the Dreamcast as one of its maiden games. But to be honest this game is better on the PS1. Just something about the game play and the fact the machine doesn't sound ...  Read the complete review

THE STORY: This is a tale of swords and souls, transcending the world and all its history, told for all eternity... A story in the 16th century, in which fighters of various clans traveled around the world in quest of the legendary sword "Soul Edge". Some believed that it was the sword of salvation, and some said it was evil. ...  Read the complete review

Released in 1995-1996 this game is still playable even now. Arcade giants NAMCO worked with Sony to produce this brilliant beat em up . There are 10 characters initially to choose from , but several more are unlocked by playing the various features of the game , including the highly ejoyable but sometimes infuriating "Edge Master Mode". ...  Read the complete review

So you are reviewing a beat-em up now are you? Yes I am. Well a slash-em up maybe a better description. It’s very intense, and very addictive. So lot’s of fighting/repeat then? Not exactly no – see this game does have a story behind it. OK sit back, grab a drink and listen up. Soul Blade is a ...  Read the complete review

This was one of the first PS games I played on, my friend owns it. I think Soulblade is an excelllent game with good characters, fantastic move, relatively easy playing except some special moves, and good graphics & sound. I also like the ways you can fall out of the ruing, from falling into water to falling of a cliff. As well as the ...  Read the complete review

Soul Blade is the first real 3D fighter to feature weaponry as a major part of combat. Set in a fantasy medieval world, the main setting of the game follows the exploits of the fighter of your choice as he/she quests to find the Soul Blade - the superlative weapon and the ultimate in phallic imagery. Gameplay is fast and furious. Although ...  Read the complete review

This is another game I got a copy of, the day of its official UK release and I was not disappointed. Nice weapons, good Graphics, Nice Sound. Kick Ass with this game especially against your friends. The Campaign game is very good, collect weapons and use them in the arcade mode, double strength etc. This a fast game especially if you ...  Read the complete review

Soul Blade is without doubt a "cut" above the rest. The controls are unique in the sense that a "button-frenzy" will get you nowhere. String together controlled moves to defeat your enemy and you'll find a satisfaction I consider absent in most other [TEKKEN] games. :-) As a 2 player, I have spent a number of ...  Read the complete review

Soulblade is a very good beat 'em up. I think it would have been even better if I had played it before I played Tekken 2. More on that later but first some thoughts on Soulblade. Soulblade is a game with a great many options; Edge Master, arcade mode, practice, etc. The Edge Master mode is a particularly interesting idea where you fight ...  Read the complete review

Souledge is a very fast moving beat-em-up, as with any-other games if you get with the flow you can kick off very well. The base of the game is that you fight your weapon weilding way through the competiters to clam the famed and very powerful souledge. If you play the campaign game you can collect many other weapons of the same type as ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to upset a lot of people here - in my opinion Soul Blade walks all over the Tekken series. Not only does it have the same addictive gameplay as the afore mentioned game but where else could you watch or take part in a fight between a veritable mountain of a man carrying an axe versus a tiny female ninja with a Katana? ...  Read the complete review

Theres no hiding it - this title is considered as Namco's 'other' Playstation beat-em-up. And as so often proves to be the case, this title is soo much better than its more famous cousin Tekken. What make this better than Tekken isn't essentially the basic combat engine - it's pretty much the dame as so many other 3D ...  Read the complete review

Soul Blade is the best beat-em-up I've played, with the exception of Soul Calibur. I admit that until I payed Soul Blade I wasn't a big fan of the beat-em-up genre, but it converted me. The graphics are amazine, the animation detailed and the game really flows. I often felt when playing the Tekken games that they weren't responding ...  Read the complete review

This always was a very good game in it's own right, and at less than twenty notes you can't really go wrong. The one downfall is if, like me, you have the sequel, Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. With the retrospective view that this gives you the game looks blocky and feels too slow, much like the early versions of Tekken. If however, you ...  Read the complete review

This is a game that lacks complexity and depth when compared to the likes of Tekken 3. This lack of complexity however is what attracted me towards the game in the first place. It has an easy to learn interface with one button controlling horizontal and one button controlling vertical attacks. The use of weaponary to slash maime and destroy your ...  Read the complete review

This game is soo amasing , it is one of the firstand best 3D beat em' ups. A few reasons why this game rates high in my view is the storymode. In the story mode you gain better weapons for your player as you kill people. when you deafeat someone your players says something in Japanese, who knows what they are Saying..... The ...  Read the complete review

This game is a good game but there are some flaws in it like most games do or of course there are some games that just dont have anything wrong with them eg.mario64.This game has a few decent characters but to be honest there does need to be a few more good charcters.Some of the players have very poor moves and are not too good in there ...  Read the complete review

The total number is about eight weapons per characters.There are about ten characters. Each one has a different story to tell. The main storyline is ...  Read the complete review
